Charm

This gave me a wee chuckle! Seriously yes you do! Oh the Delectable One wouldn't dream of hurting her! Unless of course he could find anything 'questionable' in her history!! (Has she read Twilight? This in itself could constitute a crime ) Back on topic!: I'm just waking up in a hidden underground facility after being on a raid of a well guarded walled town. Guarded that is by 'thralls', human vampire day guards. I fear I may have ingested some vampire blood during a fight, my wounds are healing in record time and the lights are hurting my eyes!

Definately! Get your hands on Darkly Dreaming Dexter as soon as possible young lady!

Don't worry, its easy done. I think we all have Would you be excited by any chance Ceinwenn Oh ok I'll join in .. Yay! Yay! Another Dexter fan!!!

Believe it or not .... this sounds familiar, I think frankie was trying to get me to read this!

I've never re-read anything up until last month when I read Dracula for the second time. Mind you, it was over 20 years since I'd read it the first time so I'd forgotten loads of it and I can understand why I liked it again. I couldn't imagine reading a book, then re-reading it six months later though, I think I'd need to wait a couple of years at least. But now I've discovered re-reading, I'm sure I'll do it again.

I'm a man on the committee of a group of resistance fighters, in hiding from vampires which are taking over the world and also from their human 'thralls' which patrol during the day in search of those who dare to fight back. We've just rescued 170 humans from a mass vampire feeding frenzy.

We watched the movie on Sunday, it was quite good!

Thanks Lexie! I really am enjoying it and will definately be getting the rest of the series!

I read Dime Store Magic ~by~ Kelley Armstrong in 24 hours. The first time I've ever read a book that fast and it wasn't exactly a skinny book either! That says it all. Synopsis courtesy of kelleyarmstrong.com Leader of the American Coven, guardian to the preteen daughter of a black witch ... it's not the lifestyle twenty-three year-old Paige Winterbourne imagined for herself, and it's wreaking hell on her social life. But she's up the challenge. When half-demon Leah O'Donnell returns to fight for custody of Savannah, Paige is ready. She's not as prepared for the team of supernaturals Leah brings with her, including a powerful sorcerer who claims to be Savannah's father. Cut off from her friends, accused of witchcraft, Satanism, necromancy, murder...Paige quickly realizes that keeping Savannah could mean losing everything else. Has she finally found a battle she isn't willing to fight? My thoughts: Paige Winterbourne is witch coven leader, happily living in a tight knit community, trying to live a normal life, bringing up an adoptive strongwilled teenager who also happens to be extremely powerful supernatural herself. The problem is, the rest of the supernatural community are aware of Savannah and when Paige's secret is exposed to joe public by a half-demon and Savannah's natural father, her normal life disintegrates before her eyes. Everything she does to try and stop it only seems to make it worse ... I couldn't wait to read this and went straight on to it after Stolen. Paige Winterbourne was introduced to us in Stolen and this book carries on her story. I couldn't put it down. I really liked Paige and the plot kept me hooked with plenty of action the whole way through. It reminded me of the television programme 'Charmed', one of my favourite shows, although it does contain a certain amount of sexual content, as did Bitten and Stolen. There's not an awful lot, its written in well and doesn't bother me at all, but I won't be letting Kookie read it for a while yet! I will definately be getting my hands on the rest of the series and have already added them to my wishlist! 10/10 again for this one

Stolen ~by~ Kelley Armstrong Synopsis courtesy of KelleyArmstrong.com When a young witch tells Elena that a group of humans are kidnapping supernaturals, Elena ignores the warning. After all, everyone knows there's no such thing as witches. As for the thought of other 'supernaturals', well, she'd just rather not dwell on the possibility. Soon, however, she's confronted with the truth about her world, when she's kidnapped and thrown into a cell-block with witches, sorcerers, half-demons and other werewolves. As Elena soon discovers, dealing with her fellow captives is the least of her worries. In this prison, the real monsters carry the keys... My thoughts: This is the second in the Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong and again told by Elena, the only female werewolf. Supernatural beings are being kidnapped by a wealthy hunter and taken to a secure facility where they are examined and their powers tested. Elena finds herself captured and in the same predicament, where she is tested to her limits while trying to come to terms with realising she may never see the rest of her pack again. Her only option is to try to escape while remaining co-operative but she learns the hard way who she can trust and who she can't. In the first book of the series 'Bitten' I didn't think I really liked Elena, I thought she did a lot of complaining and whining, however I really warmed to her in this book. The story picked up where it left off in the first installment and now she's come to accept who she is and is even enjoying it. I also got used to the type of werewolf the author has written, even though its not your usual full moon, maneater stereotype. I really liked the new supernaturals that were introduced as some of the main characters and enjoyed the background information that the author provided. The story was brilliant, well thought out and put together building up to an ending that was a joy to read. Kelley Armstrong is fast becoming one of my favourite authors ( well one of many ) and I will definately be reading more of her stuff. 10/10

Seventeen Dead. The number swirled around his head. They had been his responsibility and he needed something, anything, positive to have come out of the raid. Vampire Apocalypse by Derek Gunn
