I know, I haven't written anything for a while now.
Bad bibliophile, no cookie.
I've just been inundated with my latest orders from Amazon that I just don't know where to start. So I'll just dive right in and use the books closest to me.
Lion Heat by
Lora Leigh is a great addition to the Breed series. This is one of the stories I've been waiting years for. Finally, it's Jonas Wyatt's turn to deal with the mating heat. His mate is a little different from all the other mates, and some of the troubles encountered in Mecury's War are finally closed in Lion's Heat. I can't say too much about it. If I drop the wrong plot spoiler, well... it could just be the one thing you wanted to find out for yourself.
The characters are well written, and the book itself is fast paced. There are plenty of storylines to follow, and as I read on Lora Leigh's blog this morning, she still has about 25 characters that she'd like to write books for. Oh, boy. That means more shelfspace to find in the future!
One of the other books that I want to put up here today is the fantastic
Patricia Briggs book,
Silver Borne. I received it on Wednesday, and by Wednesday afternoon it was all over. I just can't help myself. I get a new book, start reading, and a few hours later it's all over! But this was worth reading through lunch for. Mercy is back and her relationships with Adam and Samuel are put to the test. The pack is in turmoil thanks to her inclusion, and Samuel is having a rougher time than anyone knows. There is a huge dustup at her shop, and Mercy manages once again to get herself caught up in a fae mess.
Silver Borne is a well written, fast paced book that has surprises everywhere. There is unrequited love, betrayal and jealousy and a certain someone finds their mate. Fabulous read, and I can't wait for the next installment.
And lastly, the final installment of the
Kelley Armstrong series The Darkest Powers.
The Reckoning was a much anticipated book that I was so happy when I got it. I wanted to know how Chloe and the others finally rid themselves of the Edison Group and the other supernaturals who are forever trying to pick them off. I was disappointed in this book however. While the story was fast paced, and the characters were engaging, the ending just ruined it for me. I was hoping for Jeremy's pack to have a cameo, or one of the other characters like Jaime, who could look out for and possibly guide these supercharged teens. But alas, I was doomed to disappointment. They went in, powers blazing and with a few other teasers thrown in regarding a future demonic visit for Chloe, they were captured, the nearly escaped, they got caught and then kicked butt. Not my ideal ending, but I suppose for most readers, this will be an ending that they expected.
