My reading week started off with a bang with Duke of Shadows. I thoroughly loved it and highly recommend it! If interested you can read Chapter 1 here.
Then I moved on to The Darkest Night (The Lords of the Underworld Book 1) by Gena Showalter. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I enjoyed this book though I had a few issues with some repetitive things in it. That definitely won’t stop me from reading the other books in this series. Excerpt
Next on the list was a short I received as a gift from Anne Rainey. She was running a contest on someone else’s yahoo group but I didn’t win. Several emails later she gifted me with the story. Although I enjoyed the story for the most part the hero in this short was a little too dominating for me…and not in a dom fashion. Just kind of in an annoying one! Excerpt
Kate Douglas told me about a free story called “68 and Climbing” on her Yahoo Group so I went on over and checked it out. It was a cute story with good characters and I very much enjoyed it!
Next on my list was Darkness Everlasting (Guardians of Eternity book 3) by Alexandra Ivy. I really enjoy this series. I’m not sure what it is about it that draws me book after book but I keep buying and reading them! lol You can read more about her series on her website.
Next up was the book I read for the TBR Challenge through avidbookreader.com which was Bride of the Mist. I will review this for you this coming Wednesday.
Last but certainly not least I reread Falling for Anthony by Meljean Brook, a novella in the Hot Spell Anthology. I just love this story. Meljean’s characters are always so vivid in their descriptions and I always feel like I’m right there in the room with them. Just love her books! You can read an excerpt here.
Happy Reading to All!
You are such a productive reader… I’m such a slow reader!! I need at least 2-3 days to read a book. And that’s only when the rest of my life is cooperating! lol
I just bought THE DARKEST NIGHT today. I had planned on buying DUKE OF SHADOWS today, too, but Kate lent me her copy. 🙂
I heart Meljean!
Oh me heart Meljean too! *sigh* just can’t get enough of her books!
See and I don’t think I read all that fast! How funny!
Duke of Shadows is our bookclub book this month. I have it on my shelf and I’ve heard such good things about it, but I can’t read it until the day before the club meets or I know I won’t remember enough to discuss it. My memory is like a sieve. I can’t wait!
I really liked Hot Spell. I got it for the MJB story (which was great) and was introduced to Emma Holly and Shiloh Walker. I love anthologies for that reason – I find new fabulous authors. It’s like christmas! Lora Leigh was a bit too graphic for me. Something about gushing p*ssy is a bit icky, rather than sexy. Oh well.
Hi Tracy! Just wanted to say I read Darkness Everlasting and I enjoyed it much better than Viper’s story. Loved Styx and I am looking forward to see if she writes about Salvatore…Love me some shapeshifters!
I have the Gena Showalter on my TBB list.
Ciara – I love anthologies for that reason as well! They kind of act for filler for me if I have just a little time but don’t want to start a novel.
Samantha – I liked Viper, but you’re right I loved Styx so much more! Even considered making him one of my DIK Pick’s! 🙂 Salvatore’s story would be interesting. I think Cezar is next? Yes? Can’t remember! lol
You are right! Cezar…*purr* loved that excerpt at the end!
Tracy, tell me more, tell me more! Did you really like the Duke of Shadows? I am such a fan of this book.
Ana – I really liked Duke of Shadows A LOT! I’m with KB in the fact that I thought the romance kind of fell flat in the second part of the book but I still loved it. They just seemed so perfect for each other!
Duke of Shadows is such a good read and wait till you read Falling for Anthony! We get to see Colin in all his yummy glory.
