After a month long hiatus I back to updating W00T!
Sorry about the not updating, school and all that jazz. But I have five books to review (well I actually have eight but I 'll do the other three later)
First off The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop which includes Daughter of the Blood, Heir to The Shadows, and Queen of the Darkness. This Trilogy (in reality it's now a quartet as Bishop wrote another book Dreams Made Flesh) follows Janelle Angeline as she becomes who she was meant to be. With a complex well thought out world, great characters, and one of the best plots I've ever read. The Black Jewels Trilogy is one of my all-time favorites.
Next Kissing Coffins by Ellen Schreiber. The sequel to Silver Kisses, Coffins follows Raven as she searches for Alexander and runs into Jager, who decides that making Raven his own would be the perfect revenge against Alexander. Funny and well written Coffins was a delightful read.
Lastly Dracula in London a collection of short stories edited by P.N. Elrod. My favorites: Places for act Two, Good help, and Wolf and Hound. The title of this collection give away the subject, but it was very interesting to see what different people thought Dracula might do in London. Some are funny, some scary, and some are just plain weird. But all of them were thoroughly enjoyable.
I also would have reviewed The Touch and Fool Moon but I decided not to finish them, not because I didn't like them, I liked them very much, but because of time restraints (most of the books I read are from the library so I have only three weeks to read them but sometimes that's not enough and I also cannot renew new books that I check-out (new as in new to the library)). I really wanted to finish reading them I just didn't have the time.
Next Up Lot of other books for later.
'Til then, Ciao,
Kael
