I enjoy series books that follow the protagonists'  lives in a progressive manner.  This series is a great way to put politics on the back burner and relax.

"Kindling the Moon" was yet another impulse book buy. Sigh.  I just can't seem to help myself.  This series revolves around a world where some people know about magic and demons but some humans still live in oblivion and have no clue. The demons that walk among the humans, look like humans and are known as Earthbound demons. They have auras around their head of varying colors.  Cady can use magic and she has the ability to see these demons for what they really are.  She is the co-owner of a bar that caters to mostly earthbound demon clientele. Cady (Arcadia) Bell has been living under an assumed name for years.  Her parents have been wrongly accused of murdering many of the communities magic leaders and when they took off into hiding, Cady and her parents went separate ways.  But then, out of the blue, Cady sees on the news that her parents have resurfaced.  An opposing magic faction demands Cady turn over her parents or she will reap the consequences.  So Cady does what any good daughter would do and she sets out to find out who really killed those people.

I found Arcadia to be a pretty normal and likeable character. I'd like to see future installments flesh out her personality a little more but I really enjoyed how she is portrayed in this novel.  Cady's investigations lead her to meet a man named Lon who is somewhat older than Arcadia.  I liked him as well and really enjoyed the way a relationship developed between them.  It felt really natural, as natural as any relationship that can move from first meeting through falling in love. Lon is snarky and not over the top friendly which really endeared him to me, honestly.  But my favorite character is Jupe, Lon's mixed race son.  Jupe is fifteen and Lon has custody of him.  Jupe also comes across as somewhat hyper and he may have some bit of ADD.  I have a fifteen year old son and I think the author captured this kid perfectly.  I also felt like the inclusion of a teenage son really made this book stand out.  We see little kids somewhat frequently but this is an age group that tends to get somewhat overlooked in Urban Fantasy.  (An exception I recall right off the top of my head is Ilona Andrew's Kate series.  I love her teens also).  Jupe really brings humor and emotion into this mix and the book is a better one for it.

The conclusion caught me completely off guard.  That is so not what I expected.  I think that this shows Bennett is not afraid to take risks and is creative enough to keep things surprising.  But I do have a complaint. I found some of the magical elements of this story to be too vague and under explained.  Sometimes the story became confusing to me and I would like to see more explanations on some the magic theories and details about how things work when Cady does her spells.

To summarize, another reviewer said they couldn't believe she was a first time published author.  I have to wholeheartedly agree.  She writes like a pro and I am totally on board for future installments.  I ordered the follow up book already.  I did have minor concerns about some of the magical elements but I think this can easily be tightened up as the story progresses.  With such a unique cast of endearing characters and a fun world for them to play in, I don't doubt for a minute that this series is going to be a big hit.

Liking this new series. Think Dresden files. I don't give spoilers on book reviews but I think if you are into Dresden you will like this.

I have gotten rather attached to this series, so I was pretty excited when I found this book at my online library.  (I officially love my Nook!)  I have really liked the first two books in the series, so I kind of already knew I was going to like this one.  I also can hardly wait for the next book in the series!  Which apparently, will be about Connor.

The story basically follows Hunter Wild, a vampire hunter who was introduced in the previous book.  She is a no-nonsense tough girl with an inner girly side, which gave her a bit of depth.  She was raised by her grandfather, who hates all vampires whereas Hunter sees the shades of grey.  She finds herself drawn to Quinn Drake, a playboy vampire who likes a good fight and a good time.  After being thrown together several times, they are pulled into a mystery surrounding the vampire hunting school Hunter attends.  Hunter's friend, Chloe, starts acting odd, another school mate turns into a Hel-Bar and attacks on the school are increasing.  With Quinn's help as well as a crew of friends, Hunter is determined to save her school and her friends.  As she investigates, she and Quinn grow closer and closer.  However, her digging lands draws her deeper into a plot that could get her killed.

I loved the mystery in this book and I was always wondering what was going on.  (Mysteries make me super anxious. I am always on edge, needing to know what is happening).  I also really enjoyed Hunter's friends, especially Chloe and Jenna.  They were both witty, tough girls that added to the story.  Quinn was always one of my favorites of the brothers, so I was excited to read his story.  I also like that the book shows what is going on with Lucy, Nicholas, Solange and Kieran.  Lucy and Nicholas were my favorites so far, so I like seeing them peppered into the other books.

I would give this book four stars overall.  It was a fun, quick read that I could easily see myself reading over and over again.  As mentioned before, I can't wait until the next books in the series come out and to see how it all ends.  I hope that the latter books are as good as the previous ones.  I love the Drakes, finding their interactions amusing.  I also enjoy the people they are paired with.  Huzzah to tough heroines and dead sexy boys!

World is rounding up nicely. I really enjoy use of British-isms in language.  Hope the series has a long run.

The Veil is the first book in Chloe Neill's new series, Devil's Isle, and is the first book I've read by her. I have to say that I was quite impressed with it and am now more interested in giving her Chicagoland Vampires series a chance.

The Veil takes place in a post-apocalyptic New Orleans and the descriptions were so vivid, I could imagine New Orleans looking like that and I've never been there. The world building throughout The Veil was brilliant and I loved the character development as well. Claire is a Sensitive (magic user) in a world where that is outlawed. To witness her bring people in on her secret and to learn what's been going on in the world around her was a lot of fun. Then there's Liam. Mmmm Liam. The thing between Liam and Claire has slow burn written all over it and I'm looking forward to exploring their relationship as it grows throughout the Devil's Isle series.

I'm glad I took a chance on The Veil as it ended up being better than I had hoped. The only negative thing I can say about the book is that there wasn't a lot of action. Now all of the ground work has been done and from the events that took place in The Veil, I foresee that changing. Claire now knows what's at stake, that there's potential for another war, and I could be wrong, but there seems to be something special about her and how she saw what she saw at the Veil. I'm really looking forward to the second book in the series.

Bound by Flames is book three in the Night Prince series. This time around, Vlad and Leila are on the hunt for their enemy, Szilagyi. I feel like we get to know Vlad a little bit better this time around. He's always been very guarded but we get to glimpse bits of him we haven't seen before. Anyway, since Vlad's looking for his enemy of old, Leila is staying in the castle so she's not in danger's path. Things quickly get out of hand and the book gets dark, very dark. There are graphic scenes that I know will bother some readers, so know that going in. Extreme violence and torture to name a few. That being said I think JFrost wrote the content very well.

Overall, I'm really loving the Night Prince series, and I'm so glad to see this isn't the final book. Book four, Into the Fire, should be released later this year. I strongly urge you to read these books in order, since it won't make much sense otherwise. I recommend this series if you like vampire paranormal romance / urban fantasy.

I really am enjoying this series. Just the right balance between suspense and romance. Can't wait to read the next one.

I'm really enjoying this series. The action and intrigue continues, and increases. There is still a lot of love and intimacy, but no sex. I don't know if this is because Aria is only 17years old, because its a young adult book, or both. I miss the sex but there is so much love between Aria and Braith, it makes up for some of the missing sex. You just wish they could take their love to the next level. When's her birthday? :)

There is plenty of action with a war between the humans and the vampires. Aria is the daughter of the head of the rebels and Braith is the heir to the vampire throne. Both of them are having family issues because of the other one. The ending takes the story to a whole new level. I'm starting book 3 now and I can't imagine not reading book 4.
The story is interesting. Its filled with action, intrigue and love.

My only complaint is that this author, along with some other authors, has found a way to charge those of us who order free books. The books are only 200 pages (+/-) each. That makes us buy 2 books at no/low price instead of 1 book at regular price. After that first free book, it comes out to around the same price. These books could be easily combined for longer stories. HOWEVER, I'm enjoying the series enough to pay.

Absolutely love this series.  I cannot wait for the next one to come out.  lt's nice to sit down to relax in the evening and read a book where I already know the characters instead of feeling like I spend such a large portion of the book trying to remember everyone.  The characters are interesting and at first I thought I would not like the fact that she can talk to and understand animals after the accident,, but I love it.
