The Blood Books, Vol. 1 by Tanya Huff
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Part of a Series? yes
Rating: 10/10
I knew that I would love this book, but I wasn't quite prepared for how much I would love it. The first half was amazing of course, but I enjoyed the second half even more because it was never turned into an episode of the tv show. The only downside is that I'm almost halfway done the series already. There is nothing about these books that I don't love though - great vampire mythos, gripping characters, takes place in Toronto (and even though it was written in the nineties, it still has amusing remarks about how bad the Leafs are doing). If a book was going to inspire me, it would be this book.
The Coven by Cate Tiernan
Genre: YA Supernatural Fantasy Romance
Part of a Series? Sweep, book 2
Rating: 9/10
The interesting thing about this series is that it feels more like one big book. This book started immediately after the first one ended and this one stopped right in the middle of something important happening. It does have me semi-dreading what will happen at the beginning of the next book, but I'm sure it will be fine. Anyway, this book was full of fun magic and witches and mysterious pasts. Looking forward to the next one being equally awesome.
