For about the first 20% of Prince Lestat, I was horrified; I  suspected  (how could I have?!) that Anne Rice had merely thrown together a bunch of previously unpublished vampire vignettes. After all, she did say she was finished writing about witches and vampires. I feared her plan to bury her talent in her faith (like Armand's Russian priests) had born its depressingly predictable fruit. . But Anne Rice is too generous to leave us with a series of very short chapters about vampires we haven't met. The book is astonishing, and brings together  things  hinted at in her other books. She never leaves her reader dissatisfied - everything is revealed, and not too hastily. A wonderful, wonderful  book - and I hope not her last in the series.

 If you haven't read Prince Lestat yet, catch up on Rice's vampire stories; there are many more beside her original trilogy. They are not necessary to enjoy this new  book, but they will deepen it and enrich it for you.  Happy reading, and thank you, Anne.

I am someone that can easily predict a story. So many book are the same and yet every chapter I read I have no clue what is going to happen next.
So many times I have been shocked and then laughed out loud, seriously, by something completely unexpected.

The author has written the characters out so well but without so a ton of detail. There is so much going in that we are given just enough info to be satisfied and rooting for each character. There is so much I am expecting To happen but because I'm writing this review I it didn't happen in this book.
On of the things that I reviewed in the first book was my love for a main character to be strong minded and didn't go weak. This has remained consistent throughout this second book which has made me love them even more. I feel more connected and invested in the story.
I also really liked that the book started right where the last one ended off. There was no skipped story and missed excited. I felt like I was continuing on with the story and I didn't have to Miss out on what happens next which is something I dislike a lot in other books.

I highly recommend this book and highly recommend to keep reading. The story only continues to get better and better!

Ok, Ill admit that the synopsis caught my attention. I started the book and thought, Wow! This is gonna be great! As I got more into he book, I was drawn in by the authors great characterization of the heroine and how she worked through the horror of her life. And the more I read, the more I was hooked by the plot. And when I got to the end, I was blown away! This book will not disappoint. I was so hooked into the story, I read it in 1 day.

This is the third book in the 11th percent series, I didn't think it was possible, but again this author has managed to raise the bar of incredible story telling even higher He is a master story teller. I would  recommend reading this series in order to get the full effect. You won't want to miss a single second of this amazing journey.

This time we have Jonah and the gang back along with some new characters. Some good, some ..well downright evil to be exact.( It's going to very hard not to give any spoilers here so I'll do the best I can.) Jonah and the crew are faced with a completely new set of problems and demons to overcome this go around. When you first start to see what's happening you think, oh ok been here done that...NOPE not with this author and this series. He puts a totally new spin on an adversary you may think you have figured out. ALWAYS expect the unexpected in this series!

 To overcome the issues this time, the main characters have to go deep inside themselves and face many of their deepest insecurities and regrets. It is gut wrenching to see what they have to endure, but it gives you an even better understanding of each person. Some of them have very hard life changing decisions to make. Will they let the issues from their past define and destroy them? Will they dig deep and overcome their perceived issues to guide them to a better future? You will  have to read to find out!

 To read a book by T.H. Morris is like stepping into a portal. You are completely immersed into the world he masterfully creates for you. The story and the characters literally come alive .You will see what they see and feel what they feel.  He writes in a way that you feel as if you are right there beside each one of the characters going along with them for the ride of their lives! You will find yourself gasping ,holding your breath and having moments where your heart is beating wildly in this book!!  But, be forewarned once you pick this book up, you will not be able to put it down until it's finished!

  Like the two books before this.you will find yourself thinking about this book long after you close the last page, and counting the days until the next installment!

And remember,..".what doesn't kill you leaves you haunted"  .

Non-stop excellence!  A story that will never lose its ability to grab and hold your interest.  It's like reading about people you know and love; real people with the ability to disappoint you but whom you continue to love in spite of their frailties.  Their frailties Cannot break the ties that bind.  Within the Keller family are all the characteristics of a real family; you are well aware of the frailties but though abiding love is sometimes shaken it's rarely  totally destroyed.  I'm waiting with bated breath for the next installment of the Keller family saga.

There is so much to this book to go on and on about! I LOVED IT!! Like wanting to read it again right now kind of loved it. The ending was a little abrupt, some would groan and be irritated with its cliff-hanger-ishness. I felt it would lead well to a next bookand wouldnt you know THERE IS!!! I am so excited to get my hands on The Will of the Darkest One! But let me give you my brief take on "The Shadow of Tiamat"...

In this story, your prince is also a dragon. Indeed it is! Megan Crunk, who goes by Meg, is your average everyday girl. Meg works for CPS (child protective services) and likes her job, which leads us to her meeting all of the interesting people of Joplin and the surrounding area. Chief MacDuvall, a hard ass chief of police, who makes Meg uncomfortable following her visit to check on a child in his town. While she is trying to get home she has an accident that changes everything for her.

Garrett Terago, who declares after the accident, Im not an angel. Must be an angel as he appears to have no injuries from the accident and is helping Megan remain awake and tended too until help arrives. Im Garrett, and you don't have anything to worry about. Is the truest sentiment of the  book I feel as it carried though out. Even after revealing his true form to her she was positive she would be safe with him. Mr. Prince unbe-fing-lievably charming magnificent in the buff. Every inch of his skin was flawless, from the lean strips of muscles coiled around his chest and arms to the broad tip of his long, thick, uncircumcised. OMG, I didn't want it to stop!!

The other dragons are Morrigu, Garretts mother; Yomiko and Yor, twins which are rare and they are almost inseparable; Xyrus, a psychopath; Fraise, oldest and hates humans; Vritra, a lustful interest to Yomiko and doesnt seem to be fully on board with Fraise. Anyway, there are a few others who are featured, but those are your fundamental heavys when it comes to family and foes of Terago.

Then we meet the highly erotic and sensual Aonia, and YES I would have been just like Meg!! (You have to read to understand but OMG!!) And how!! *sigh* she was flawless, even by dragon standards. I admired her unrepentant confidence in her actions and knowledge of her vanity. Near the end, her loyalty is to Terago and his mistress is something short of breathtaking.

I left Meg and Garrett with these words from Meg
A Princess, she explained, giggling.  A handsome prince rescued me from an evil dragon and brought me back to his castle. . She smiled big. Its my story, and I can get rescued by a dragon prince if I want.

Pick this up and you won't be disappointed! The fight scenes are realistic and the love is breath-taking. (Oh, and I forgot to mention.there might be a vampire too! LOL)

(although I am sure everyone knows by now what's happening in the book, I still won't go into detail, as it might spoil the fun!)
I have read and re-read all four books in different editions and languages and I am still not tired!
Realizing that there is light at the end of the tunnel (long wait for the fifth book), I started reading the whole series, yet again, to refresh my memory and be ready to dive into the Shelters of Stone.
The first installment is simply breathtakingly captivating. Although this was not my first reading, I was still very moved and lived Ayla's hopes and fears and struggle to be accepted by the Clan.
Fascinating details about the life and rituals of the Clan, their beliefs and values are told through this gripping pre-historic thriller.
The whole series is a definite must for every shelf. I can't sit still waiting for the Shelters of Stone!

Outlander is the first in a series of books by Diana Gabaldon and you don't want to miss it!

Follow Claire through the stones as she finds herself in the middle of a war, experiencing
a life she never imagined.  Who is Jamie?  How did she get there?  What about Frank?  Can
you move between two very, very different worlds and what happens when they collide?

These questions and many more will be asked and answered as you delve deeper and deeper
into this intriguing tale.  You'll fall in love with the characters and the story itself.
"Page turner" has been well overused but it definitely fits this book and series.  You
won't want to put these books down!

Ooh! I was thrilled to hear of a new series from the fabulous Dee Palmer. Ive read all of her previous books and thoroughly enjoyed them.

As is to be expected in the first book of a new series, there are lots of questions left unanswered. However, the characters effortlessly snag you by the hand and lead you deeper into this story of betrayal, revenge, demons, redemption and possibly a second chance.

My review contains little to no information about the story or characters because, quite honestly, you simply need to discover it for yourself. I have to be honest and say that it took me a couple of chapters to get into the flow but don't be dissuaded - keep reading - it all comes together in the most incredibly heart-stopping tale.

Of course, were cruelly left on a precipice. Each reader will no doubt have their own opinions and feelings on the journey we've been taken on. Personally, Im left devastated and clinging the the sliver of hope that things may turn out the way I desperately want them to. Maybe, just maybe...demons can be conquered?

In the meantime, Im left waiting but it was worth it.
A gripping new series to sink your teeth into! Highly recommended.

At first I thought I'd be bored and disappointed, but only because I wanted to continue reading about Loren and her fellow characters from the Nightblade series. Let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed. It was good from the very beginning and it became great by the middle of the book. I couldn't put it down.

If you haven't read the Nightblade series yet, I suggest that you do so. Although The Alchemist's Touch will still be good even if you don't. But I love how the two stories are cross-referencing and I think most people would agree.

Garrett Robinson does a fantastic job of getting you completely inside the minds of the characters, in both series, and this is one of my favorite things about reading. It's great to read a good storyline, but to be completely immersed in the heart and soul of the characters while reading a great storyline is absolutely fabulous!

Just a heads-up, because I didn't catch on right away, the epilogue to these books comes after the acknowledgements and about the author portion of the book, so keep turning those pages or you may regret it!

And just so you know, the second book in this series, The Mindmage's Wrath, is even better than this one. I didn't think that could be possible, but I became completely addicted and could hardly leave my house until I finished it. There are even more plot twists, action, and revealed secrets than the previous stories. Now I'm just sitting here anxiously awaiting for the next one to be released next month and can't wait to find out how the characters from this series get tangled up with the characters from the Nightblade series.
