Simply brillant! Now I know what all your fussing was about. Remember my lost mojo...it came back after I read that 4th page!! :eek2: By the way...I've done my review.

Well now I can say that I am a fan after reading my first book Karin Slaughter book, Blindsighted recommeded by CW. Thank you CW. I am now itching to read Kisscut!

Finished Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter yesterday and now reading Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison.

Synopsis: The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, pediatrician and medical examiner, finds Sibyl Adams dead in the local diner. As well as being viciously raped, Sibyl has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach. When a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, it becomes clear that Sibyl's brutal murder wasn't a one-off attack. What Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver is dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer.... Well were do I start? I was recommended this book by catwoman and all I can say is that I am glad of the recommendation. This book was gripping from the very beginning to the end and I just didn

Now I know about this mojo maybe mine has gone with both off your mojos. Maybe they have gone on a little holiday somewhere?

:thud:I just had a blonde moment!! I do have blonde hair in case anyone takes offense. But glad that I am not the only one that lost my mojo...that is happening to me right now. That's why I haven't been on here a while too. Need to get my Mojo back. I will get off this computer and read Blindsighted!!

:out:Off I go!

Ok, what is your Mojo?

Well, with two excited people about Miss Slaughter's books..I should really get my backside of this computer chair and get stuck in now...shouldn't I?

Synopsis: What did it mean? The note with the hieroglyphs was found in the pocket of a man lying dead in an alley. The only other item of interest on him was a piece of jewelery, a reproduction of the Charlemagne talisman, but so well done that Vicky Bliss thought she was being shown the real thing. The gold work had been done by a master craftsman; the stones were of top quality synthetic...Vicky didn't know what it meant yet, but ion the sundrenched streets and moonlit courtyards of Rome, she was going to find out - if the dangerously exciting Englishman didn't get in her way! This book was a short read however I found it hard to get into, well that and the fact that I just needed a little reading break. But last night I got into the book again and was able to finish it this afternoon. This is the second book in the Vicky Bliss Murder Mysteries and as I said in my review for the first book, they are not the normal books I would pick out of the library to read. This book sees Vicky, now working for Professor Schmidt at the National Museum in Munich, going on another adventure after a dead man is found with a fake of the Charlemagne talisman sewn into his coat. Vicky travels to Italy to find out who is the mastermind behind the production of the fake jewelry and of course often finds herself in a spot of bother here and there. One thing a find about these books is, not only are you getting to read a short story but you are also getting a history lesson rolled into one. I find the author spends a lot of her time writing about facts in relation to art history, describing the surrounding areas and mentioning the places in Italy than getting to the actual story line. But then again I didn't know that Han van Meergan was the greatest forger of Vermeer! If all of this was removed from the book...would there be much of a book? There are no existing characters in the book from the first one except for Vicky and Professor Schmidt. Professor Schmidt is not in this book often and therefore really can't say I enjoyed how the characters evolved. That's including Vicky. It was getting to the point were I was going to give up reading this book and the whole series but I got more into the book at the end and surprised to say I will continue with the series and can't wait to read the next book. Despite the few spelling mistakes in the book (there was some in the first aswell which I thought was just me going mad), I am thinking that now there will be something about Vicky that I will be looking forward to see develop! Rating: 7/10

I am looking forward to it CW, but like I've said I am not a great reviewer. At this moment I am on page.....4!!!

Just finished Street of the Five Moons by Elizabeth Peters. It was a short read but took me a while to finish it and now I am reading Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter.

I also have Living Dead in Dallas and Club Dead on my TBR list but have to get through all these library books first.

Just thought I'd popped in to let you know I am now reading Blindslighted by Karin Slaughter and I have also got Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay on my TBR list.

Hey, I have just finished watching Season 1 on FX. Is Season 2 airing soon? Or have you all got the box sets?

Started: 19/09/2009 Finished: 21/09/2009 Rating: 8/10 Synopsis: It seems that (un)life is going pretty well for Zoey Redbird. She has settled in at the House of Night finishing school and is coming to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her. She even has a boyfriend...or two. Best of all, Zoey finally feels she has found somewhere she belongs. Then the unthinkable happens.Human teenagers are being killed, and all the evidence points to the vampires at Zoey's school. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey's past life, she begins to realise that the very powers that made her so unique might also threaten those she loves. Then, when she needs her new friends the most, death strikes the House of Night. Zoey finds herself facing a betrayal that could break her heart and jeopardise the very fabric of her world. Yes, another vampire book! This is the second book in the House of the Night series and much a teen novel as some parts of the book I found quitely childish and cringe worthy. The first book Marked sees Zoey being "Marked" and the story is of her coming to terms with living at the House of the Night. This second book sees her settling into her role in the school. I must admit the book turns quite dark which I wasn't expecting and I was surprised at the turn of events in the book. Even though I did end up enjoying the first book in this series, I was dreading reading this book because I thought it was going to be a silly teenage story but with the twists in this book I can't wait to read the rest of the books to see how the story unfolds.

Started: 15/09/2009 Finished: 19/09/2009 Rating: 10/10 Synopsis: Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much - not because she's not pretty - she's a very cute bubbly blonde - or not interested in a social life. She really is ...but Sookie's got a bit of a disability. She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting all her life for. But Bill has a disability of his own: he's fussy about his food, he doesn't like suntans and he's never around during the day ...Yep, Bill's a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind. And then one of Sookie's colleagues at the bar is killed, and it's beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim ... I was recommended to read the Southern Vampire Mystery books after I read the Twilight series and I was looking for something to fill the gap. I seriously don't know why it took me so long to actually purchase the first book to read but I am currently watching the first season of True Blood and enjoying it so much and decided to finally buy Dead Until Dark. I was really surprised I loved the humour in the book and it was fun and sexy in a tasteful way and just can't wait to get my hands on the next book. I do have to admit that it was hard for me to review this book as I seem to be comparing it to the programme. Overall, I enjoyed this book more than Twilight...yes I did say that. Don't get more wrong, I loved Twilight but I found Dead Until Dark more exciting and funny. I really do recommend this book to read, you won't be disappointed.

Cw, so glad you like Twilight. I wasn't too keen in reading them and I am a huge vampire fan but out of curiosity I ordered the book from the library so see what all the raving was about. I have to admit I wasn't expecting what I read and I was hooked and couldn't put the book down. So when I finished Twilight my librarian ordered New Moon for me without asking did I want it. But as I told you before my library took ages to order it in for me so I couldn't wait and bought all the books. Needless to say I was hooked on all of them. Can't wait until you read the rest for your review so we can discuss the story without me giving away any spoilers for you. I see you are reading Dead Until Dark now. I just finished it a few days ago and loved it. Still have to do my review for it though.

Does anyone know if they are airing Season 2 on Sky? I am only watching Season 1 at the minute and I think it is two episodes from the finish. I am really enjoying it and don't think I can wait months for Season 2 here. If so, I will go and get the boxsets.

I finished Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris yesterday which I really enjoyed and now I am reading Betrayed by P.C and Kristen Cast.

Well yesterday I finished Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris and now I have started Betrayed by P.C and Kristen Cast. I will do my review of Dead Until Dark tomorrow and I am a bit tired and need to go to bed. But I have added more books to my TBR list and to be honest they may be there for a while. They are books that my mum and my sister gave me to read as in Catherine Cookson!!! I have never read any of her books and they tell me they are good stories. I suppose I have to read them to see if they are right. I did start one and then put it down because I had others I really wanted to read. So if you have read any Catherine Cookson books I'd loved to know your opinions.

Well, I am getting started with the Sookie Stackhouse books and I am really enjoying Dead Until Dark.

Glass House is the first book this ones the second.

Thanks Sue, glad I have given you some inspiration on certain books. Let me know when you read any. I see your reading the Host by Stephanie Meyer. I haven't read that one yet even though I have read the Twilight saga. Hope you enjoy. x
