Laurell K. Hamilton

I Just have to say that I really like Laurell K. Hamilton. I just finished her Merry Gentry series and I loved them! I've already read her Anita Blake series and its one of my Favorites I can't wait for her next books!!

Meredith Gentry, Princess of the high court of Faerie, is posing as a human in Los Angeles, living as a P.I. specializing in supernatural crime. But now the Queen’s assassin has been dispatched to fetch her back–whether she likes it or not. Suddenly Meredith finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt’s plans. The job that awaits her: enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful immortal men in the world. The reward: the crown–and the opportunity to continue to live. The penalty for failure: death.

Elemental Assassin Series

I wish I was an Assassin!
Im Loving Gin Blonco, Im on Book #4 and I think ill do a review on the series as a whole!
My name is Gin, and I kill people.
They call me the Spider. I'm the most feared assassin in the South — when I'm not busy at the Pork Pit cooking up the best barbecue in Ashland. As a Stone elemental, I can hear everything from the whispers of the gravel beneath my feet to the vibrations of the soaring Appalachian Mountains above me. My Ice magic also comes in handy for making the occasional knife. But I don't use my powers on the job unless I absolutely have to. Call it professional pride.

Now that a ruthless Air elemental has double-crossed me and killed my handler, I'm out for revenge. And I'll exterminate anyone who gets in my way — good or bad. I may look hot, but I'm still one of the bad guys. Which is why I'm in trouble, since irresistibly rugged Detective Donovan Caine has agreed to help me. The last thing this coldhearted killer needs when I'm battling a magic more powerful than my own is a sexy distraction...especially when Donovan wants me dead just as much as the enemy.

Kate Daniels Series

I have had Magic Bites in my Nook Library for a while but I got around to reading it last week and I couldn't put them down as I finished one after the other. I must say that I didn't expect to like the series all that much but I'm glad that I did. This series is now easily in my top ten favorite Urban fantasy series!!

One moment magic dominates, and cars stall and guns fail. The next, technology takes over and the defensive spells no longer protect your house from monsters. Here skyscrapers topple under onslaught of magic; werebears and werehyenas prowl through the ruined streets; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their thirst of knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with their minds. In this world lives Kate Daniels. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood makes her a target, and she spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, she must choose to do nothing and remain safe or to pursue his preternatural killer. Hiding is easy, but the right choice is rarely easy

Let down

Shadow Heir (Dark Swan, #4)Shadow Heir by Richelle Mead

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


UGH!! I cannot believe this, I can’t believe I waited so long and like an addict in serious need of some rehab for THIS! I am so disappointed in how Mead ended Shadow Heir that I sat there after finishing this horrible tease of a book, I was dumbfounded. Okay let’s start this from the beginning shall we...
Iron Crowned left all of us with some major questions(and some of us hyperventilating) so naturally we're excited about Shadow Heir, finally we get some answers and maybe Kiyos head on a silver platter, right. Wrong! Ah Mead why do you do this to us, have we not been faithful enough in our affection to your books and characters? Oh right back to Shadow Heir so its starts with Eugenie being four months pregnant, she ends up going into hiding in some remote part of Alabama were she thinks her children will be safe. Unexpectedly she has to go back to the other world without her kids (I should probably mention she has them already and are being cared for) to take care of some problem and fight some random evil villain I seriously don’t care about nevertheless she goes. In this journey she is escorted by Dorian (sigh) and the gang. In comes Kiyo who is supposedly an ally (give me a break Mead) to help them in this quest to save their kingdoms. At this point I’m like seriously who needs a new plot or conflict when there is so much going on already? But whatever fast forward to the ending. She finds out that the despicable thing called Kiyo is not the father of her children (Thank god because that was some complicated shit) Eugenie, Eugenie, Eugenie!! She decides that Dorian, despite the fact the he has grown so much and is so much more open and is promising her the world and putting her above world domination (hello above world domination) should not know that Ivy and Isaac are his kids. The one thing Dorian wants more than anything else are children and she decides to keep them from him. Enough said.

Oblivious

I dont know how this went over my head seeing as I've been waiting for this book to come out for a year now

Came out on 12/27/2011...Im done hyperventilating and rethinking that resolution.

Quickie

I have this habit of grabbing a book and reading straight threw until im done without putting it down (or breathing much if its that good). This is one of the things that will be on my New Years resoultions list, I thinks I need to Appreciate my books more, they must feel cheap that it takes me only a day then off to the book shelf they go or in most cases archived on my Nook (so sad).
Well I told you guys what my top three to read books were but a friend of mine mentioned this book


so I checked it out and of course it looked interesting so I got it and starting reading right away. I finished this book at four in the morning and I loved it, was it smart to go on a reading Binge... probably not but oh well Fate introduced me to the Benedict brothers!

What to read next

I have to many choices on my to read shelf! My top three are:
(Iron Fey #4)
Ash, former prince of the Winter Court, gave up everything. His title, his home, even his vow of loyalty. All for a girl… and all for nothing.

Unless he can earn a soul.

To cold, emotionless faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.

Then Meghan Chase—a half human, half fey slip of a girl— smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.

With the (unwelcome) company of his archrival, Summer Court prankster Puck, and the infuriating cait sith Grimalkin, Ash begins a journey he is bound to see through to its end— a quest to find a way to honor his solemn vow to stand by Meghan’s side.

To survive in the Iron realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. At least, no one has ever passed to tell the tale.

And then Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that turns reality upside down, challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice
(Georgina Kincaid #6)
In Georgina Kincaid, succubus and she-demon, #1 New York Times bestselling author Richelle Mead has created one of her most enticing characters. But with a shot at love, and maybe even redemption, is the ultimate seductress finally going soft? Like hell she is. . .

Georgina Kincaid has had an eternity to figure out the opposite sex, but sometimes they still surprise her. Take Seth Mortensen. The man has risked his soul to become Georgina's boyfriend. Still, with Lucifer for a boss, Georgina can't just hang up her killer heels and settle down to domestic bliss. In fact, she's being forced to transfer operations. . .to Las Vegas.

The City of Sin is a dream gig for a succubus, but Georgina's allies are suspicious. Why are the powers-that-be so eager to get her away from Seattle—and from Seth? Georgina is one of Hell's most valuable assets, but if there's any way out of the succubus business she plans to take it—no matter how much roadkill she leaves behind. She just hopes the casualties won't include the one man she's risking everything for. . .
(Strange Angels #5)
Nobody expected Dru Anderson to survive this long. Not Graves. Not Christophe. Not even Dru. She's battled killer zombies, jealous djamphirs, and bloodthirsty suckers straight out of her worst nightmares. But now that Dru has bloomed into a full-fledged svetocha - rare, beautiful, and toxic to all vampires - the worst is yet to come.

Because getting out alive is going to cost more than she's ever imagined. And in the end, is survival really worth the sacrifice?

DRU ANDERSON'S NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK.
BUT SHE SHOULD BE

Well I guess Ill sleep on it.
