This is the 6th novel in the House of Night young adult series. And all I have to say is.... I can't believe it ended on this cliffhanger! Holy cow, how can I stand to wait until probably spring for the next story?!?

Lovely read about a woman, Louise Thornton, who finally had the courage to divorce her unfaithful movie-star husband. She buys a home in the country and meets the landscape architect, Ben Oliver, who has been keeping the garden from totally going wild in the two years since the prior owner's death (he had made a promise). The chemistry between them and their children is well-written. I liked how Louise grew into herself. Made for a satisfactory ending. NFM

A very enjoyable listen. Izzy McNeil is a young hot-shot attorney b/c her firm's biggest client moved all of his business to her a few years ago (bit by bit as she proved herself). But now he's dead and her fiance has disappeared and is suspected of murdering the client. Lots of action and surprises. First of three Izzy McNeil books that came out this summer. Well-read by Nancy Liem. Available from audible.com. NFM

So I have to say, Ms. Hunter is quickly becoming a fav of mine. This book is a quick and easy read. Love that Pete and Serena had to be "discreet" while on this little Greek island due to everyone and their brother thinking they have to "protect Serena's virtue". Loved it! This book was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend it.

Another great paranormal from Heather Graham!

This is the fourth book in the Black Ops Inc series and I hope we get another one sooner rather than later! I think I might have enjoyed this book the best of all of them, and they're all great reads.

So this is the next-to-the-last book in this series. And like all the others in this series, it doesn't disappoint. And who doesn't like a bunch of hot men jumping out of a plane literally in your backyard?

This concludes the DARK IS RISING series. I loved this series when I was 12, and I still like it. But, as an adult, there were holes in her world-building and I found it sometimes preachy, sometimes inconsistent, and with only one girl who wasn't as kick-*&& as I like the girls in my stories, it didn't hold up as well as I would hope. . . . I think I was probably okay with it at 12 y.o. b/c growing up, there were almost all boys on my street and a statistcally unusual number of boys v girls in my class, so a story with 4 boys and 1 girl wouldn't have fazed me. And I probably didn't care back then if she had a strong presence. Well-read by Alex Jennings. Available from Random House and Listening Library. Copyright 1977 (print) and 2002 (audio). NFM

After reading Leslie Kelly's last Encounter short story, I've been waiting for this one. I loved the idea of "fairy tales" actually being true stories based in a land parallel to ours. And where better to cross into it than the swamps of Louisiana! And whether they are from here or fairyland, the men are smokin' hot!!!!

Ms. Bond received the honor of writing Blaze's 500 book. So, instead of one book, she made it a 4-in-1. The stories are all connected thru the book club that meets at the library. And this isn't just your normal book club. They read some of the most erotic books ever written. And then the Gabrielle thought it would be a good idea for them to try out their favorite books.
