*** SPOILER-ISH ***

Menolly is the third D'Artigo sister, half human, half fae and all vampire. (Read Darkling for Menolly's story). Menolly adds her own twist to help her sisters battle Shadow Wing and his minions.

A page turner!

This continuing saga is loaded with action, sexual tension, magic and characters guaranteed to keep you comeing back for more....

Camille is the sister that this book focuses on and her changing relationships with her sisters and the men in her life. Shadow Wing is still trying to take over the world and loose the demons of the underworld. But that task has just become a bit more difficult.

Second in the Dragonfire series, the reader is introduced to Donovan and Alexandra. They are "The Warrior and The Wizard". The way that the destined mates meet and become involved with one another makes for an exciting read. DC keeps the momentum going with witty writing and lots of action. The battle between good and evil (Pyr/Slayer) begins to really heat up in this one.

This series was so entertaining, that I am buying the books in print. Breaking dawn will have you laughing, crying, cheering, booing and thoroughly loving Bella, Edward and the rest of the characters so much, you won't want it to end. Bravo! this series may have been written with a younger generation in mind, but the books will give Harry Potter a run for his money.

The third in the Twilight Saga, we find ourselves totally immersed in Bella's life. Jacob is fleshed out further, but of course Edward still manages to rivet everyones attention. This is a fast paced series that keeps the reader interested and turning pages as fast as they can read them. A thoroughly enjoyable read for any age.

After reading Twilight, I couldn't wait to read New Moon. The continuing story of Edward and Bella and the difficulties their relationship faces is quite addictive. The innuendo of sexuality and the strong abstinence message is refreshing when keeping in mind the intended audience for this saga. I found that time flies when the writing is good.

Okay, I swore I wasn't falling into the Twilight hype. But I was asked to read it by my niece in hopes that I could convince her mom to let her see the movie. I hate to say it, but I fell..Fangs, line and sinker! (Every single pun intended.)
