Header PromotionTouch The Dark, By Karen Chance- ROC Fantasy- 2006
Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits--talents that make her attractive to the dead and the undead. The ghosts of the dead aren't usually dangerous; they just like to talk...a lot.
The undead are another matter.
Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the bloodsucking mafioso she escapes three years ago finds cassie again wuth vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection.
The undead senators won't help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerfull members, a dangerously seductive master vampire--and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay....
Rating: 4.5

Did this one
in audio while I was playing on the computer and checking out a few blogs. I'm looking forward to the next one. Hope Kelley will loan it to me too. I've had the books since they came out but when Kelley said she had the audios I jumped at the chance to listen. I like listening and doing other things too.

I bought book 2 & 3 when in
I bought books 2 & 3 when in the city wednesday, and wish i'd bought her newest one that was there as well. I thought it was book 4 to this series, but it appears it is the start of a new series. Oh well, lots of time for that. Not like i'm short on reading material...i buy much faster than i read them.

I was
trying to slow down on my buying and did really good the last couple of months. Till this month, I blew it big time. Just couldn't resist all the new books this month.

I've been doing really good
I've been doing really good the last 6 months or so, since Kens pulpmill went bankrupt. But i still buy here and there...impossible for me to stop completely. But my reading has slowed so much, the little i buy exceeds my reading still. lol
I'm hoping to be able to get a whole bunch of reading in during the bad winter months...so long as the snow doesn't keep me outside snowblowing all my free time.

Hey Kathy!
I have been seeing this author all over the place. On Top Ten lists, etc. Also, the ebook store I shop from has a novella by her, Buying Trouble....do you know if that related to this story? It says it is a companion story to Midnights Daughter. I'm very tempted to get it to see if I like her writing.
Take Care,
Tammy

Hey Tammy, The above story
Hey Tammy, The above story is book#1 to her Cassandra Palmer series, and Midnight Daughters is book#1 to her new series. I'm sure you'd enjoy the above series, based on my enjoyment of book#1, and i look forward to trying out her new series. Based on reviews, both series are doing awesome.
As far as Buying Trouble...i'll do a little checking and see what i can find out. ttys

Well that didn't take me
Well that didn't take me but a second lol...BT is the campanion piece to book#1 Midnight Daughters, Karens new series.
Sure glad i have the On The Prowl anthology, so i can have a little taste and see what i think. What's left of it that is..it's one of the books my big parrots sunk theirs beaks into.
Super happy you asked me this question or i would've been completely in the dark about this little story...and even more excited to discover it's in an anthology that i already have. Yay!

Hey again Kathy!
Hey again Kathy!
Well, that's good news! I am thinking I might get that novella. I would buy the whole book, but I already bought the Patricia Briggs novella separately as well...so it would be a bit of a waste of money. Perhaps I should have though, before having bought the Briggs one.
So glad I could help out by asking a question!
Heehee!! Thank you for the answer!
That is too funny your parrots sunk their beaks into your book (I mean funny in an ironic way, but I am sorry about your book
)...usually you hear about dogs chewing up papers and books.
Ok, I really better go now
Thank you again!
Take Care,
Tammy

Your very welcome Tammy!
Your very welcome Tammy! Glad i could help, and give you a laugh at the same time...even if it was at my expense. lol
I'll try to watch for your review of the short read...i hope i don't miss it.
