Twice Tempted - By Jeaniene Frost - 1st in 2013

Night Prince Book #2
Very good! 2nd installment of the Night Prince Novels with Vlad & Leila. Is it just Leila, or is their relationship seeming a little strained? She isn't sure what to do, and either wants more, or wants out. 

Favorite Quote:
Vlad made a sound too harsh to be a growl. "You won't be satisfied until you've brought me to my knees, is that it?"
"Why not?" It shot out of [Leila] with all the recklessness of my still-broken heart, "You brought me to mine."

Very good book!! Especially if you are a Frost Fan! Here is her site:

Enjoy!

Too long with no post @.@

It's been forever since I posted...just over a year! I have gone through a lot this year.Books ~ I have read a few books last year that I had not posted... so I can do that now:

- Dreams of a Dark Warrior - By Kresley Cole
With Declan Chase and Reginleit
Regin - "Let's do this! Rock out with your cocks out!"
"Usually I exasperate people. And I jest at inappropriate times. Such as during executions. Freya says 'tis my gift and my bane to frustrate others."

- Dark Desires After Dusk - By Kresley Cole
With Cadeon and Holly
Holly - "You might as well be eating pickled pig's feet, fished from a jar."
[Cadeon's] eyes went wide, "They had some? And you didn't tell me?" [he] grinned at her horrified expression.

This year I am hoping to read at least 10 books. Got only one so far, and haven't worked on any more, but I know I can do 10!

I really enjoyed both of these books, would recommend them, especially Twice Tempted - Love Jeaniene Frost's work!!!

Hopefully will be blogging more with my reads!

And with that, I bid you adieu. :)  Happy Reading!

Bound to Me - by Jocelynn Drake

Mira, the Fire Starter, is a young vampire and is in love with Velario, whom has been a vampire much longer. They are assigned to go to Mira's horrible maker's domain to kill a threat there, and finds she is wrapped up in a tug of war. Good read. I love that this story was made about her past, but I would like even more to read about her human life and what she had to give up to become a vamp.

The ending was kinda a let-down, but I guess, as they say, ignorance is bliss. Good story, but wasn't long enough for my tastes ;)

My Soul to Take - by Rachel Vincent

Finally! They took long enough to explain to Kaylee that she's a Banshee (Bean Sidhe) and it was so messed up that Nash (her new boyfriend) had to explain it to her! I understand that Kaylee's dad wasn't as strong as her mother, but come on! He should have stepped up and been a real father years ago, when she thought she was going crazy the FIRST time! They should have never kept this magnitude of a secret from her!

Starts out fun with Kaylee and her BFF, Emma, going to a night club, and Nash starts talking to her. She gets her "panic attack" and he helps her through it! The next day, she overhears her uncle and aunt talking and gets totally freaked out! She talks to Nash about it, and he just had to tell her what was going on. Then they find out a pattern, and go to see Tod (a reaper) to ask a favor. Things get dicey and Emma almost dies, but Kaylee and Nash were able to save her.

Lots of favorite quotes again, like always, but here's the one I liked best:
Kaylee - "A non-human non-friend? Who works at the hospital as a non-medical intern?" At least it wasn't another football player. "Now that we're clear on what he's not, care to tell me what he is?"

Anyway, really good, and Tod is such a cutie!! Was so happy that her dad finally came back into the picture, just wish it hadn't been so late! She had to learn on the fly, and she took it really calmly when Nash explained it to her. I can't wait to continue reading  - am already 2 chapters into My Soul to Save.

Happy Reading!

My Soul to Lose - by Rachel Vincent

I started with the first of the series so I know where I'm starting again. My Soul to Lose is really good, and I'm surprised that  Poor Kaylee Cavanaugh was never told what she was through the whole story, so she had no idea what was going on. It starts out light, normal teens going to the mall, but then she gets these "panic attacks" and has to leave the area. It follows her and she gets caught up in it again, and begins to scream. She's put into a mental hospital and meets Lydia, who helps her out in the end. There were a few really funny quotes I enjoyed, but this was my favorite one:

Stevens - "Kaylee, do you know why you're here?"
Kaylee - "Yeah, Because the doors are locked."

Good read, but if I was reading it as a stand-alone (which I never got the pleasure of doing), I would have been confused... 'cause obviously her Uncle Brendon knew what was going on with her, I'm just mad at him for not telling her anything throughout her whole life!
