Halfway To The Grave - A Night Huntress Novel

I love, love, love this series! This is the very first book of the series. Although I have read the series out of order, these books are great reading just on their own! Here is a summary of the book with my review:

Summary:

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father-the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.

In Exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner-are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side.....and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Review: This book is awesome!!!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars! This is one of the best books I've read! Cat and Bones add action, whitty humor, and steaminess to make this novel a must read for any reader! There were parts where I had to laugh out loud they were so funny! This book has it all!

Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy Series) by Rachelle Mead

I finally finished the Vampire Academy Series and was relieved yet sad to finish it. A spin off series is coming out in August 2011 called Bloodlines. The setting is still at the school and the side characters in the VA series are able to tell their stories in this series. Can't wait to get this new series on my new Nook! :-) Here is the summary of Last Sacrifice and a review of the book!

Summary:

Murder. Love. Jealousy. And the ultimate sacrifice,

The Queen is dead and the Moroi world will never be the same. Now, with Rose awaiting wrongful execution and Lissa in a deadly struggle for the royal throne, the girls find themselves forced to rely upon enemies and to question those they thought they could trust.....


But what if true freedom means sacrificing the most important thing of all?

Each other.

********************************************************************************

As much as it killed me-as much as I tried to deny it-I still felt a lingering attraction to Dimitri. But he had rejected me, and I needed to harden my heart, especially if I wanted to move on with Adrian.

"Sorry Roza." Dimitri's eyes flashed. "If Lissa wants me to be your bodyguard, then that's what I'll be." He gave me a dangerous look. "There's no way you're getting rid of me anytime soon."

Review: Loved this book!!!!!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars! I loved the chemistry between Rose and Dimitri once again. The ending was a happy one. Rose finally gives up control to her friends but then takes it back in the end and comes out a hero!

Dead Reckoning - by Charlaine Harris (The Show True Blood Is Based on These Books)

This was one of the books that I purchased from Barnes and Noble for my new Nook! I enjoyed the reading experience with the Nook - especially that you can turn of the lights and still read! I have missed Sookie and her mysterious and exciting life in Bon Temps. Here is a summary of the book and my review:


Summary:

With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. But Sookie suspects otherwise and she and Sam work together to uncover the culprit - and the twisted motive for the attack. But her attention is divided. Though she can't 'read' vampires, Sookie knows her lover Eric Northman and his 'child' Pam well - and she realises that they are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, she is drawn into the plot -which is much more complicated than she knows. Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, Sookie will learn that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human - and that there is a new Queen on the board . . .

Review: Excellent!

I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. It didn't get 5 stars because of my bias opinion of the relationship between Eric and Sookie. Their relationship is on the rocks alot in this book (and Sookie struggles within herself to test if her and Eric are really meant to be together) and I didn't really care for it. With that being said, the rest of the book was great! Alot of mystery, action, and a dash of romance.
