Vampire Vocab

Yes, I am back to doing book reviews. As for Laurell K. Hamilton…I am on the 18th, and last book of the Anita Blake series: Skin Trade. Let me just tell you that these books have held more gruesomely eviscerated bodies than probably all the rest of the books I’ve read in my life combined. [...]

The Lightning Thief movie was absolutely untrue to the book. If it were independant, I would have enjoyed it: the effects were good, and at times it was funny. However. If you take an excellent book with tons of die-hard fans and make it into a good movie that has nothing in common but the [...]

I must commemorate this book as my first to review that isn’t Fantasy. It’s…Historical Romance!! (Though it does have paranormal aspects, like hypnotists and magic crystal workers, but all I have in my defense is that it has nothing STRICTLY inhuman.) The Third Circle by Amanda Quick stars Leona, a crystal worker who meets a [...]

Well, here it comes, another fluff review. Maybe I should change my domain name to “fluffybeachreads.com”. Yeesh. It’s not like I don’t read anything but fluff, it’s just that EVERYONE knows what Pride and Prejudice is about. Or at least, I desperately hope you do. So here goes. Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson [...]

Yes, the title is kind of pathetic. Well, more than kind of. But here’s a warning: this is not the first book in the series. Embarassingly, I read this one first, not knowing my mistake. Anyway. All I want for Christmas is a Vampire by Kerrilyn Sparks is a paranormal Romance about a woman named [...]

I know its been a while since my last book review, but trust me, it’s not for lack of reading. Kiss Of Fire by Deborah Cooke is the first of her Drogonfire series. It’s a “paranormal romance” supposedly, but really, it’s a book about dragon shape-shifters. It begins with independant bookstore owner Sara almost immediatly [...]

I love this book. It doesn’t even have Vampires, but I still love it. Truly exceptional, with amazing plot twists, vivid characters, a unique plot. I can but hope that one day I can write as well as Lisa Mcmann, the author. But I’m seriously ticked off at her for not writing the sequel to [...]

First, Halfway To the Grave. Now, Once Bitten Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin. In Halfway to the Grave, Bones the Bounty Hunter has Cat as his assistant who can sense vampires because she’s half-vampire herself. So along comes this book about a CIA agent who is working with an attractive, to say the least, and [...]

Comparing  Zen and the Art of Vampires By Katie Macalister to other, better, vampire books I’ve read is like comparing a guinea pig to a lion. The origons of this book are dismal: the O’hare airport, I couldn’t stand how intense Ironside by Holly Black was at that moment, so I head down to the [...]

How to describe Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead? It’s a Fantabulous book  (Fantastic and fabulous combined)! I’ll start with the basics: The protagonist is Rose Hathaway, half-vampire guardian of Lissa Dragomir. After running away for three years, the pair is forcefully returned to the Academy where Rose will learn to fight the Strigoi, the evil [...]
