Review: Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

Dark Lover by J.R Ward

The first time I picked up this book, I put it down after reading the back. It was one more vampire book, one more series, one more niftily-named secret group…and the hero’s name was Wrath. The book didn’t sound bad, but with other books featuring similar elements gathering dust on my shelf, I didn’t know if I’d find time to read it.

Last week while waiting for an oil change, I found the book in my hand again. I decided to read a few pages - the next thing I knew, I was on page 60, they were calling me over the intercom to tell me my car was ready, and I was seriously thinking of sitting in the parking lot and reading more.

Darius, a member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood (warrior vampires created to protect “regular” vampires from the Lessening Society), is on a mission. He wants Wrath, the king of the vamps who doesn’t want to be king, to help his half-human daughter with her transition. Wrath is the only purebred vampire left and since many humans don’t survive the transition, it is Darius’s hope Wrath’s blood will help her survive. Trouble is Wrath has little use for humans, unless it involves sex or killing them. The answer isn’t no, it’s hell no.

OMG I loved this book!!! Rest of my review can be found here.

Read the review, check out the website and buy the book. You can thank me later ;).

Review: A Season to be Sinful by Jo Goodman

A Season to be Sinful by Jo Goodman

It has always seemed to me that the word count for Jo Goodman’s books is higher than for other Zebra authors - or that her editor exercises less control with her red pen. Sometimes it can weigh the book down - at other times it makes for a very interesting, although generally angst filled, long journey in the world the author has created. I am happy to say the latter applies to A Season to be Sinful.

Alexander Henry Grantham, Viscount Sheridan (aka Sherry) is spending the evening with his mistress at Covent Gardens. Due to his mind being on ending the affair, wrapping up business in London and running off to his country estate for reasons unknown, he is unaware of the drama being played out around him, in which he is the target. The event that occurs quickly ends his night.
