Armand is a very cool read!

Mark warned me this book was way different. He didn't lie. But he also said he thought I'd like it. He wasn't wrong. I really liked the conspiracy theories. There never came a time when I felt like any of them had jumped the shark. Don't get me wrong, they are crazy but they are walk the plausibility tightrope well. Well that said, there wasn't enough depth for me. I like Mark's style because he gets very intricate with his stories. I didn't get enough of that in APatGA. I would love a sequel. Or maybe some different adventures with Armand particularly with a younger Lucy.

J.R. Continues to impress with this addition to his Vampire for Hire series. I love how he shares his perspectives on the spiritual connections between vampirism and human evolution. Plus, he packs a punch of excitement into the action sequences! He uses humor and pathos equally well to tell the heroine's story; an average woman who, through no desire or intent of her own, becomes an above-average being as the result of a vampire's attack. Great story!

I really enjoyed this book. On the Edge of Humanity had a lot of action and characters whom I really began to care about. Once I started reading, I needed to continue to find out what happened. It wasn't your typical Vampire novel. I enjoyed the author's new spin on vampires and vampire lore. I look forward to reading the next book in the series! I had a the perfect snowy afternoon snuggled on the couch with an entertaining book!

This was a phenomenal new take on vampires. I loved the concept, and I loved the characters. Daniel is my new book boyfriend. There. I've said it. Seriously, this book is great from cover to cover. I loved getting to know the characters and all the interesting quirks the author gave them. The journey of Aviva to learn and slowly accept her differences was really well handled. The mystery expanded with every page, the action was exciting, and the pacing was outstanding. I loved reading a book set in Newfoundland, a place I've never been. I saw it through the characters' eyes, and now I want to visit! Do yourself a favor and read this book!

I recently finished reading Violet Storm and I loved it! I really hope this can be made into a film someday even just for the Fila scenes alone. What a cool concept! Although I have to say my favorite part about the book is that the main character isn't your typical helpless teenager. Eva may lack confidence in her physical appearance (you will have to read to find out why), but she never has to think twice about defending herself or anyone else - and she is quite capable at doing so. Overall it's a very fun read, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the series goes from here!

This book is a tremendous amount of fun. It's a beach read -- Brown's not trying to be Umberto Eco -- that I zipped through in a day. What's genius about it is that Brown takes something that most of us are steeped in and interested in, a particular faith, and asks the reader to approach it from a historical context instead of a divine one. He does a very good job of gathering a lot of facts (about Opus Dei, the Knights Templar, etc.) and weaving them together in a plausible "what if" scenario. Best of all, he gives a great gift to the reader in that he sparks your interest in investigating these things for yourself -- an impressive accomplishment.
He's a curious and inventive writer of pulp thrillers and he deserves his success. I'm looking forward to reading his other work.

I really enjoyed the continuing story that Rob Cornell has embarked upon.  I am looking forward to the third volume to see where he takes us next.  His version of vampires and their interaction with the "humans" in this world is different and intriguing.  I love this kind of story!

A very unique story that I look forward to reading more about in the future (I hope he releases more books!)

Lots of action, a cool new world and fun characters to get to know. Definitely worth the read!

Charlie Huston is an insanely talented writer. He puts a sweet Vampyre twist on Noir, and succeeds at making it a "can't put down" Novel. Joe Pitt is truely the coolest character I've read about in a long time...

Tackling The Imago is very intriguing and unique novel with just as interesting writing style that I am sure it will not leave you indifferent.

The story focuses on main character, Gina, a twenty year old girl and her life as she sees and feels it.
The story is well written, it is exiting and interesting, just as you expect from any good fiction novel and most important, it really draws you in. There is a wide mix of genres  everything from humor to drama, romance and more, which makes the reading even more interesting. Its a great reading and I would highly recommend it if you are looking forward to something fresh and different!

Right from the opening chapter I was grabbed by the collar and thrown into a wild ride of a story. This was a really, really fun read! The concept was unique and the opening chapter was the perfect way to introduce us to Vincent Graves. Graves (not his real name) is a paranormal investigator who soul hops into the bodies of those murdered/killed through supernatural means. His task is to solve the crime, but there's a catch! He has only a certain amount of time to break the case. This time he's given a mere 13 hours, which makes for a breakneck, hectic, sleuthing adventure. Graves is an intensely likable protagonist, witty,  yeah, a bit of a wise-ass. The references sprinkled through-out this book were like delicious little morsels adding an extra note of giggly fan-girl enjoyment to the mix. I seriously loved the character Church...I want to see more Church next time. So yeah, on that note I'm absolutely looking forward to reading more from this author. This was a fun, enjoyable and imaginative Debut.

As always with Edward's stories I get lost in the characters worlds. In this story Armand a vampire who although has a thriving restaurant and a Gentleman's club he frequents seems to be missing something in his life, he's used to being lonely and hiding from the world but when Tino comes into his life he can't hope for other things. Tino is a outgoing carefree vampire who makes the most out of life, or life as a vampire but when he meets Armand for the first time, he starts to rethink his rogue lifestyle and think about life differently. I loved these two together, I loved how they both although totally different from each other compliment each other and their friendship flows like they knew each other forever. Loved the plot and how these two make changes in their lives and the lives of so many others. Love how Edward writes a vampire's life uniquely and  creatively, another great story to read. 4-4.5 stars

It doesn't matter if Natalie Lambert is a suspect or a victim, good cops do not get involved with either.  At least, that is what Rene Broussard keeps trying to tell himself when he is tasked with protecting her overnight - at his own home.  In his own bed, even.  But as the beautiful virgin vampire comes into heat for the first time, she proves as irresistible as she is determined when she sets her mind on seducing Rene!

Natalie can't explain the desire she feels for Rene - something she has never felt before.  Even harder for her to understand is this strange urge she has to bite him...

When an unknown threat terrorizes Natalie, murdering those she loves most, she is swept up in the arms of a new family - one she never knew existed - who will stop at nothing to protect her.

Delilah Devlin is a relatively new author for me, and I am enjoying what I have read from her so far immensely!  Her new vampire story, Into the Darkness, is no exception.  This is actually the first full-length novel I've read by this author, and she proves herself as capable in this format as she is with a short story.

Be warned, Devlin's vampire society lives by a set of mores that are atypical to human society, and readers must learn to adjust along with Rene, who is also human.  As Rene grows to accept the strange new world he is thrust into, we are provided the opportunity to gain the same acceptance through his eyes, easing both him and the reader into this new world.

Natalie is a wonderful leading lady to Rene's hero, and is simultaneously sweet and innocent, yet bold and sensual, providing Rene no quarter as her newfound sexuality asserts itself.

The more sensitive readers should be aware that this book contains elements that may be too titillating for delicate sensibilities, including a mnage scene and a female/female scene.  While I usually do not choose books with female/female content, the scene fit with the peculiarities of the vampire culture in Devlin's story, and I didn't find it offensive or out of place.

While Rene's & Natalie's story is complete in this book, the author creates opportunity for possible sequels with some very interesting supporting characters.  I know I will definitely be keeping an eye out for a sequel!

Pros: The story line is very cool. Evelyn really has a grip on where this story takes the reader. The original characters are creative and I felt a sense of reality with them, although it is fiction with a mystical ancient royal lifestyle scenario. I loved when the Sun Queen Maud dies and they celebrate a proper Norse burial. It's scary, touching, gory and gave me the insight of how it really could have been back then. That's some of the juicy stuff in this novel. It's really a lot of fun. The details of the attire, fabrics, adornments, the hair, mannerisms, characters in general are very good. They have meaning, purpose, and goals. The scenes are well done and dreamy at times. The character conflicts are pretty good. There is some fun, light hearted conversations and acts amongst Ailia and Soren especially.

Cons: A tiny bit of character's behavior dragged out or repetitive in a couple of spots. When Lucia is getting help to escape she's having the chills, shakes, and then convulsing yet she was still getting around in that condition as described was a bit unbelievable but, it worked outgetting her to the next part of her adventure.

A brief summary on it and why I really thought it was worth reading:
After the death of Sun Queen Maud, and her proper Norse burial, her eighteen year old daughter Lucia's celebratory coronation is being planned and prepared. Her father King Olav will step back to let her reign over his Kingdom when it comes to keeping control of the changing of the seasons with the power of the Aisera Jewel. Lucia's father was always quite mean to her so when he suddenly ordered a private meeting with her to instill upon her the facts that only a King or Queen of the Aesira bloodline has the power to engage the Jewel she becomes overwhelmed by the severe plan for her future that she now has no control over.

Eiess wants to take over the Northlandic Kingdom and Lucia is fully aware that she is not of the Aesira blood line. Why would there be a problem she thought. Olav quickly informs her that Eiess will try to prevent her from engaging the Aisera Jewel to suspend the seasons. Lucia's mother was the keeper of the Jewel and now Lucia will be, and on the eve of the winter solstice Iluxia will show her how to perform the season shifting ceremony at Solhenge. Olav ordered her to not mention anything he explained to her to anyone nor where the Aesira Jewel was hidden.

Iluxia is more than a mere mortal and his presence is ever enlightening even for Olav. Lucia had met him and wished she'd be more like him. More than a mere mortal. Gaining excitement over her new existence as Sun Queen, Lucia's thoughts spun as Olav explained, with tears in his eyes, that Iluxia came to her Mother when she was born to tell her that she, Lucia--is the Great Sentinor per-destined to defeat Eiess. Her Mother had lived her last of three lives.

Later on...The Sentinor Soren and Aila really want each other after sometime of traveling in harsh conditions to help Lucia conquer Eiess and it's very funny when they think Brandon, Aila's adoptive father, knows what they're up to when they were approaching each other with passionate innuendos, hearing him say, No, not like that! To find he's on the other side of the wall talking in his sleep.

There's battles, deception, and quite a lot of action. I hope you will enjoy it like I did. It would be a fun action, adventure film.

I was kind of done with vampire themed stories since nowadays they seem to be all about the same. But, my friend told me about this one by C.K. Farrell. Glad I got it. The book reads like no other book, its filled with wonderfully descriptive words, adding a touch of elegance and uniqueness to the story. I can so relate to Faelynn, out trying to get revenge! I got her. The story gets really interesting when she meets Nathaniel. He sounds like someone who would be my best friend. He is very picky about things, and knows what he likes. He is not afraid to say what he thinks, and feels kind of like hes the only one like him in the world. I felt as if I knew him. This is a great book, especially for those who are interested in vampires! I hope it gets turned into a movie!
