Thea Harrison: Dragon Bound Review

- May contain spoilers!-
This, dear readers is something whole new. You know when you're reading a story about one supernatural species and throughout the series more and more species appear and you kind of start wondering "Hey, why did no one know about them?"...
Well this book is just completely different. You start reading the book and you know from the start that there are so many diffrent species you'd have a hard time keeping up with it if you'd live in that world. And that makes it awesome.
When you read the little back info, this is part of what you'll read: As the most feared and respected of the Wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed.
Let me just tell you this is SO right. Dragos is not just feared and respected. He's arrogant and so sure nothing and no one can do anything against him or any of his. I've seen a lot of stubborn males reading Supernatural books. But he just adds the arrogance in a way that makes other authors dream.

Pia is so.. Gosh I don't know how to say it! She's like a spark of life in this book and doesn't only change the world for Dragos but for all of Wyr kind. Just wait until you get to know what Wyr she is! Other than that, I can only say that she's such a kind, get along with everyone type of person.. I wish more people were like that IRL (In real life).

This book is a definite teaser for the following books in the Elder Races Series. 
It was everything I expected and even more. It's full of suprises and it keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat untill the very last moment! This being said, it's not very long to the very last moment. Dragon Bound is a very fast read and awesome for those who don't have too much free time. (Unless you get sucked into the entire series, then you'll be sitting down for a couple of hours).
There were a few minor empty parts in the book where the story could've gone a little bit faster.


This book gets a well deserved 8/10!

Lara Adrian: Kiss of Midnight Review

Okay so Lara Adrian. I hadn't heard of her untill a couple of weeks ago. I found her through the Amazon.com automatic sugestion tab...

Is this a bad thing? Yes and no. I always like it when writters put their books fully out there and I'm kinda bummed that I'm starting so late in the series (yes I'm one of those weird people who actually like to wait a couple of months for a new book, it adds anticipation and you don't get tired of the series nearly as fast as when you would read all the books in 1-2 weeks time).
And no as in, I always love it when I find a good writter out of nowhere and its even more of a nice suprise when you were a bit doubtful at first! 

Anyway, back to the book. Kiss of Midnight is a good book. But I expected a little bit more... How more?
Its the first book in a serie. Its supposed to make you hungry for more and in a way it did yes because I started the second book today but I just didnt feel this immediate connection to the book that would make me go "okay, give me the next book RIGHT NOW".

Other then that I have to say that after a couple of chapters, I fell in love with Lucan Thorne and I managed to get into the book completely! I felt so much for Gabrielle... 
I'm definately going for club Breedmate from now on!

There was an equal seperation between love (Lucan and Gabrielle) and war (awesome warriors vs rogue bastards). 
Although I have to say that it's hard to get a grasp on how many Rogues there realy are. They say a lot but we don't meet all that many of them during the all night stake-outs.
Last but absolutely not least, I had a few weeping moments and that just made the book even better to me!

Lara Adrian I give you a 7/10 on this book and a healthy curiosity in your next books!

Keri Arthur: Full Moon Rising Review

This book is an amazing book if you want something to go through quickly. But don't expect the back of the book to tell you anything.
It's a very nice and clean description of a book that is anything BUT nice and clean. You can expect hot scenes with

Jeaniene Frost: Once Burned Review

- May contain Minor Spoilers -
So, my first time reading a Jeaniene Frost book, one might say I'm a Frost-virgin... Okay just forget I said that.

My first impression of this book was "Oh no, it's going to be a book where you're the female lead 100% of the time". Why was I thinking this? I like reading books where you're the male lead and the female lead both 50% of the time because it give me a chance to know what both of them are feeling and thinking. Like really getting inside their heads. 
I was kind of scared that I'd get tired of this book around halfway because of this but I was wrong. 

This book was awesome and the fact that you're only reading Leila's side made it better. Why one might ask? Okay well, Vlad is this mysterious no sharing type. Leila, doesn't understand shit about him either, like seriously she just doesn't get him. His emotions, intentions, etc. 
It feels like you're getting so much more connected to Leila, because you're actually feeling her frustration which is awesome. But I have to say sometimes, the frustration got a bit too much for me, there were a couple of times that I just had to put the book down beside me, take a deep breath and just go for a walk.
This little fact actually made me wonder how much I let the book get to me, kind of funny. 

All in all this book was amazing, I felt like I was missing some things because I haven't read the Night Huntress books and the Night Prince series (Including Once Burned and Twice Tempted) is actually a spin off from the Night Huntress series. 
There's a point in the book where the main characters from Night Huntress show up and they have some sort of realtionship with Vlad, but I didn't know where those feelings came from and didn't really understand them. 

So my advice for this book:
Read this book, it's pretty awesome. BUT get some background info about Night Huntress or read them, personally I haven't read them yet but I'm tempted to get them simply to know where the "red line" between the books is!! I'll make sure to tell you all about it if I have read them!
7/10 for this book. It was great but I feel like here and there, there are some things.

Kerrelyn Sparks: The Vampire with the Dragon Tattoo Review


- May contain minor spoilers! -


So I finally had time to sit down and read a couple of books again. I have to say, I didn't know how much I'd missed it untill I realized that I'd read 5 books in 3 days... OOPS! Not that I mind, reading good books is so refreshing!

Anyway about the book...
This was the 14th book from the "Love at Stake" series. I've read every single one of them and I have to say, always such a huge suprise! 
I keep forgetting how much we don't know the main character at all untill the book comes out, I mean yeah sure you know their main tasks in the book and often their job either at Romatech or at MacKay S&I - that is for the male character - but you don't know their past, what makes them who they are now and their personality.
For the female character (often but not always) you just don't know anything at all. 

I was genuinely suprised by this book. In a good way. I feel that with every book Kerrelyn Sparks just gets better and better! 
Dougal Kincaid was a lot hunkier then I thought he was (from the info about him in the pervious books) and he's SO romantic!! It was also very refreshing that Leah Chin (the female lead) knew about vampires even before she'd met Dougal which - ofcourse not saying that it didn't cause any "problems" forming a relationship - was realy exciting because it gives a way diffrent perspective! 
The fact that we got to meet some new angels was just mind blowing awesome.. I just love them! 
(Maybe next we'll get another angel falling in love with one of the hunky vamps?! I would so not be complaining!) 

As far as the story goes, it fits perfectly in with the pervious books from the series. It was well written and I felt realy connected to the story as I was reading it, like i was there going through all of it with the vamps - yes i know, keep dreaming Marie, like that's ever going to happen.. But a girl can only dream and wish!! - and I cried my heart out. Oh yes dear readers, you're in for a heartbreak reading this book! 

The only thing i had some trouble with was reminding all that had happened in previous books... 14 books is a lot to remember and I felt like I was missing some major Eurika-moments...

I seriously recommend this book to everyone who likes reading books about hunky supernaturals and love! Actually, just read the entire series, it's worth every second!
8/10 on this one!
