Charm

Finished The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen yesterday and started Blood Vines by Erica Spindler last night.

Thanks LittleW! I'm really into it now and almost finished Hope you're enjoying For the Sake of Elena

Picked up my book today in an attempt to bring back my mojo (The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen), before I knew it, I was up to page 300! Yipee

Great Oceans Scientists have placed a bubble ring machine on the sea floor which dolphins have investigated, and are now playing with the bubble rings - fantastic stuff!

Boy Chrissy, you're really on a roll! Your mojo is steamrolling through books Glad you like the Prophecy series. How about that cliffhanger of an ending in book 1? Good job you have book 2 at hand

Another fantastic review Michelle Black Swan Rising is going straight on to my wishlist, it sounds like my kinda read! Glad you're all enjoying the challenge so far

She has a tendancy to do that, enjoy! My mojo needs a break methinks, it has taken another unapproved holiday I started The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen, a series I usually love, and just can't get into it. I hope it picks up.

You can download a sample on your kindle first if you like, I keep forgetting about this neat little feature

I've never read the House of Night books Hyzenthlay, so I can't really say. My daughter has though and thought that other YA books were better. I do have to say though, these are most definitely NOT teeny-bopper books. There are scenes of a sexual nature in them. If I had to compare them to other writers, I would say a mix of Kelley Armstrong and Sherrilyn Kenyon might be closer.

Yeah I think it is on my wishlist already. I won't be rushing out to get it, in fact I may wait for it to come out in paperback, but I know I will get it some time. Shame the series has gone this way after such a fantastic beginning.

*sneaks in to see what Claire thought of Dead Reckoning* :ph34r: Big mistake .... again. *goes and checks wishlist*

Now this sounds right up my street! Never mind the housework missus, get the cat to do the ironing or something and hurry up and finish the book so I can add it to my wishlist see what you thought of it!! *taps foot impatiently*

Phew! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far Please come back here and let us know what you think won't you? Resistence is futile my friend ..... mwahahahaha!!! The first installment is only 89p on kindle too, a bargain price if I may say so.

Ok, these are some books I've read which I don't recommend. R Martin - The Laws of Wicca: The Guide to Wiccan Laws, Practices & Principles - Long winded and boring 1/10 Reena Jacobs - Control Freak - Total utter drivel 0/10 Ciana Stone - All in Time - I only finished it cause it was so short 2/10

Are you sure???? La la la la la ..... I'm not listening to youuuu ... la la la la! *puts hands over ears* I haven't read a single page today

Oh now that's what I like to hear! I will keep an eye out for your review I will make a note to post the names of those others, you're right, it would warn others Hah!! I can see and hear you!!!! :boogie:

A distinct possibility eh? ... If there's that distinct possibility, then I gotta hope there's also a distinct possiblity you enjoy them after me distinctly recommending them!

I've never read a Bond novel either, but if Deaver is starting to write them, I may give them a shot

Why doesn't that surprise me A wee secret for you both ..... I've added more

Not sure if there already is a thread for F E Heaton, I couldn't find one but if I've double posted one please feel free to merge! As some of you know I've recently bought a kindle and have been having a ball with it! One of the best series of books I've found on it recently are the Vampires Realm series by F E Heaton (also known as Felicity Heaton). It's an adult supernatural series and I wondered if anyone else has read the books and if you enjoyed them? Here are some of my thoughts Vampires Realm Series by F E Heaton Prophecy: Child Of Light Synopsis A vampire unlike any other, Prophecy lives life in the dark until the night she encounters Valentine, a gorgeous vampire who is both her enemy and the man who will change her life forever.Convinced that the prophecy about her is wrong and unable to ignore the vision of them that he saw in her blood, Valentine goes against his orders to execute Prophecy and kidnaps her instead. The attraction between them grows as they search for the truth behind the prophecy, battle a dark evil that threatens to destroy the world, and attempt to evade their families and the Law Keepers.When the truth about her is revealed, will Prophecy be strong enough to face it? Will they discover a way to save the world from Hell? And will they finally see past the hatred bred into them by their families and surrender to their love? The first novel in the Vampires Realm series, Prophecy: Child of Light is part one in an epic tale of love and war that is sure to capture your heart and leave you craving more. My thoughts: I read this quite a while ago but didn't want to write about it until I had read the next 2 installments in the trilogy, which I have now done. I found this little gem at a very cheap price on Amazon kindle store and was hooked from the very beginning. It is well written with a modern gothic atmosphere which I adore, the storyline also takes the characters throughout historic Europe as they follow the trail in search of the prophecy and the answers they need to help them. The two main characters of Prophecy and Valentine are well thought out with plenty of back history to make them both interesting and believable. There are of course plenty of nasty characters who pop up regularly and help to keep the storyline action packed and exciting. This is a series full of vampires, werewolves, demons and magic with a touch of adult content thrown in. Highly recommended! 10/10 Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea Synopsis The final battle draws closer. Prophecy's world becomes darker and more dangerous, pushing her to the limit and testing her strength and her heart, almost breaking her. Old friends turn their backs, leaving her to fight with the help of an unlikely ally and forcing her to call on the devastatingly seductive and powerful Lord Hyperion for assistance. Struggling to rescue Valentine from the malicious hands of her blood brother, Arkalus and the lord of Aurorea, Kalinor, Prophecy discovers just how powerful she is and how far people will go to stop her from fulfilling her destiny. Lives are lost, battles are won, and the scroll foretelling the prophecy is finally completed, but nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead. When her visions show her the path that must be taken, will Prophecy be able to do what is necessary? Are Prophecy and Valentine ready to command the power they'd never thought would be theirs? And are they strong enough to fight the evil of their true enemy? Following on from Prophecy: Child of Light, the tension rises and love grows in Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea, a thrilling second part to this story that draws you into a dark, dangerous world of vampires, magic and the war to end all wars. My thoughts: The second in this series just sees the adventure get better and better. Prophecy is starting to learn to control her magic better, but she receives help from an unlikely source to complete her mission, this however adds to the anguish she feels in her heart where her love is concerned. Another exciting, fast paced, roller coaster of a read which introduces even more intriguing characters to the mix, again while travelling across Europe. Again I was totally engrossed in this book and couldn't put it down until I had read every last page. 10/10 Prophecy: Dark Moon Rising Synopsis An enemy with unimaginable power and bloodlines with centuries of hatred bred into them, two things that threaten to tear Prophecy and Valentine apart as they fight for their lives and their future together. Their vain attempt to join their houses into one army drains the last of their strength, leaving them more vulnerable than they've ever been. The tension escalates between the bloodlines, and, more dangerously, between Valentine, Prophecy and Venturi. As everything crumbles around them, defeat seems inevitable. In one decisive move, their enemy turns the tables against them, taking what is most important to Prophecy and leaving her to fear that the terrifying visions she's been having are coming true. An enemy becomes a friend, guiding her in her time of need, and a friend becomes an enemy. Death, destruction and danger surround her, but the help of an old ally brings her the army she needs and the dark moon brings her the power to fight the legions of Hell. When the time comes, will Prophecy be able to do what's necessary or will the sacrifice she must make be too painful to go through with? Does she have the strength to stop Hell from being unleashed into the world and save the ones she loves at the same time?The dramatic conclusion to the Prophecy story, Prophecy: Dark Moon Rising is a gripping tale of love and war that will take hold of you, set your heart racing and not let you go until the very last page. My thoughts: The final installment in this exciting trilogy brings to the fore the prophecy at last. Prophecy has come into her own, with the control of her magic and those she loves around her, she prepares to battle a deadly and powerful enemy who wants to bring hell to earth. However, nothing is ever that easy and this thrilling read brings together the adrenaline rush of battle and the emotional highs and lows. A fantastic conclusion to an epic story!If you're a fan of gothic style, supernatural books you should enjoy this trilogy. 10/10 NB: Be aware, contains adult sexual scenes

I have been busy reading! I've read a few others too, but they're not even worth a mention, utter rubbish.

I seeeee youuuuuuu! I don't think you'd like the Carpathian series Chesil, it's very like the JR Ward books and I know you weren't overly keen on them. The Moon Trilogy short stories isn't too bad, although I think you'd prefer 2 & 3 I have a couple more Autumn Dawn books now, the ones I have are The Charmer, Scent of Danger and The Golden Bell but I haven't read any yet. I will be be posting another review of books I think you would really enjoy though (I haven't finished yet )

Moon Trilogy by C L Bevill Black Moon Synopsis Donovan is a werejaguar sworn to fight against his enemies, the dreaded werewolf clan - the Whitelaws. Isabella is an uncommon librarian, a member of the Committee. When she faces down the Whitelaws to retrieve a very dangerous book, she encounters Donovan and their lives will never be the same. This is a novella of about 13,000 words and the first book in the Moon Trilogy, and was a quick little read. The storyline is based around 3 artifacts which, when brought together can give the owner the power to destroy the world, this book concentrates on the first artifact. The characters are likeable and author has packed quite a bit into such few words, making the story interesting and readable. Not a bad start to this series. 6/10 Amber Moon Synopsis Mirie has been sent to watch a handsome elvish prince because he's alleged to have the mysterious Eyes of the Amber Moon, an artifact that can destroy the world. Instead she becomes embroiled in elvish politics and has to guard for her life, even while she attempts to discover who she really is. This is a novella of about 23,000 words and part 2 of a trilogy, concentrating on the second artifact. The series is progressing nicely and this installment was even better than the first. We know the background of the story now and it was nice to see other characters emerge and read how they are all connected. Another short but enjoyable read. 7/10 Silver Moon Synopsis Jack Drake must discover what the secretive third part of the moon relic is and destroy it before it can be used to decimate the world. The equally mysterious Asta is hot on Jack’s tail, eager to gain his trust and find the Silver Moon’s Mystery. Together the pair must endure a trial of fire, dragons, and werewolves to stop the enigmatic Elijah Whitelaw from carrying out the blackest of Unseelie Fae magicks. This is a novella of about 19,000 words and is the third part of a trilogy. Concentrating on the final artifact, this book has been my favourite so far. We already know most of the characters and it was great to see them all work together. I love the character of Asta and really enjoyed how her relationship with Jack developed. My only complaint is the books aren't long enough and if developed more could be a fantastic series. 8/10 Note: Contains scenes of a sexual nature
