Looking for something fun to read? Try Some Girls Bite! Merit is a kick ass heroine, or she will be when she finally develops completely as a vampire. I like that she's a bit whiny about being changed, she has every right to be upset about it. It added a realistic slant to the story. Merit and Mallory are awesome as best friends who love each other unconditionally. Ethan is that tall, dark, handsome, and scary vampire that you want to seduce you. Morgan is that sexy vampire that you want to..fang you! There is a mystery, some intrigue, and a well written plot that had me upset that I had to put the book down to take the kids school clothes shopping.
Merit is such a complicated character. She knows that Ethan will do anything for his house. He's arrogant, manipulative, and cold at times but she still finds her self feeling attraction for him. Morgan gives off that dangerous sexy vibe as well but with him it's different. Whether it comes from the blood tie between Ethan and Merit or the fact that Merit wants to deny any feelings for this man who changed her I still don't know. But I can't wait to read the next book to see if more is shed on the subject. There were many loose ends dangling in the breeze with this book. Not just with the ending but with minor plot elements as well, I hope that we discover the answers with the next book due out in October. I wish I hadn't let this book languish in my tbr pile but when you have one as large as me it happens sometime. Thank you Ms. Neill for a refreshing vampire/urban fantasy tale! Visit the authors website here to learn more about Some Girls Bite and it's upcoming sequel. She also has the beginning of a new series coming out in January 2010.
Well here it is, my final list for the challenge I was shooting for 60and more than met my goal! ROFL This was fun and I hope we do it again!

Let me start by saying that I really like this cover. Sure only one of the men actually fits the description of a character, at least in body type but still it is FINE!!!! Now on to the review. I am happy to say that this has to be my favorite Carol Lynne book ever. Which is saying something since she write characters that I love. But Ghosts of Alcatraz is a bit of a departure for her. At least in my opinion. Sure the wonderful characters that you couldn't help but love and root for were present. But this story had a completely different feel to it than previous works. I would have guaranteed that you could put a piece of Ms. Lynne's work in my hands and I would have been able to identify her writing style. Not so with this work. The pacing was the same in how quickly the two main characters fall in love but the similarities ended there. Not that this was a bad thing. On the contrary, this had the feel of a seasoned writer who had all their i's dotted and their t's crossed. In fact to show how much i loved this story i'll tell you something. I picked up and started several books before this one only to throw them down in disgust. It's not often that I get that way but for the past few days i've not been in the mood to read. I know shocking as it may sound it does occasionally happen to me as well. I try not to read books for review when i'm in this kind of mood because they will inevitably get a bad review. I pick out flaws that I normally let slide, if i'm in a better mood all I require is to be entertained and not feel like i'm slogging my way through a word soup or plot prison. But, by the second chapter I was deeply engrossed in Ghosts of Alcatraz, so much so that I almost burned dinner (yes, I read while cooking and folding laundry and walking for the most part, that' s how i broke my last ereader, ran into one too many walls and hitting my son's head was the last straw for it LOL). I read until I hit the last page and then cried "NO!". I wasn't ready for it to end...what about Fisher! What happens next? Where are they going from here? Is this going to be a series? Please, Ms. Lynne this has to be a series. You can't tease us, your faithful readers with little tidbits and then leave us hanging!!! So I suggest you go get your hands massaged and then sit down at the computer until you have the next book for us, otherwise you might have a lynching on your hands at your upcoming get together! But Ghosts of Alcatraz here.
IF YOU'VE BEEN WAITING TO READ THIS BOOK, STOP! PICK IT UP IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
So I've looked at this book several times since it was published. Looked but never bought, I thought it sounded good but for some reason resisted. Then the lovelies over on The Manhole forum at The Phade started talking about it, I read a few comments and reviews and thought I'd give it a whirl. I bought it and loaded it onto my trusty Sony ereader and there it sat, and sat, and sat. What a mistake that was! I was looking for something to read one day while waiting in the drive thru line and saw this one and thought I'd give it a whirl. I began to read, got honked at, pulled into the parking lot at work and started reading again, got scared to death when one of the girls knocked on the window to tell me to hurry up or be late. Thought about what I had read while at work. Got home, stayed up too late reading, then got up and finished the book. A Red-Tainted Silence is a masterpiece of conflicting psyches. This book has so much going for it that I find myself at a loss as to what to really say. Brandon and Nicholas are both such strong, complex characters that they are almost overwhelming. The plot is filled with moments that had me crying and gritting my teeth, praying that things would come to fruition with an ending that I could bear. I've read a few comments that say that Nicholas was their favorite character but for me it was Brandon. Why? Nicholas was a wonderful character, charismatic as he was written to be. But Brandon was so tortured, so loyal, so determined to see this bright and shining man he loved happy that he sacrifices all of himself just to see this happen. Sure he had problems, that was the point. His view of the world was skewed, this was readily apparent from the first moment that he sees Nicholas. The amount he suffered and obsessed over a Nicholas that he hadn't even met was the beginning of what would shape their relationship. Ms. Gray used the plot device of Brandon trying to show Nicholas how he felt about him through a memoir of sorts and this really allowed the reader inside his mind. So much so that it was a bit of a jolt when Nicholas took over in the second half to of the story. We still get bits and pieces from Brandon but colored through Nicholas' reading of the journal, his viewpoint of some of the event added a contrast and showed how different the two men saw things. This story is filled with angst, lots of angst, and several violent acts of a sexual nature. So don't pick this book up if you are expecting a light, fluffy read. But if you are looking for a story with wonderful characters that you will be thinking about for days, a plot line that will keep your heart pounding and tears in your eyes and joy in your heart then you have to read A Red-Tainted Silence. You won't regret it. Buy your copy here !
Cage Match is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a plague has wiped out quite a bit of the population. The world has been rebuilt and is supposedly a better place, all run by corporations that took over after the fall of government. Everything is shiny and clean except for a walled in area of what used to be Boston. This area is called Brick Town and it is a high crime area filled with the less fortunate. If you don't like post-apocalyptic tales never fear, that's the only area where that post-apocalyptic bit comes in, it then becomes a journey of two men on a journey of self discovery.
I found Cage Match to be well written and intriguing. Andreas Fortias is the silver spoon baby, the prince of Fortias, a company that holds a large share of the market in this world. He, like his contemporaries fills his days and nights with trivial and meaningless pursuits. Cage fighting is one of these pursuits. A blood soaked, adrenaline fulled atmosphere where these idling rich boys can bet on the outcome of others pain and suffering. Jabez is a former Brick Towner who has been apprehended for robbery. He has chosen to serve his time in the cage. Cage fighting allows criminals a large reduction in sentence time but they will have to survive the indenture before freedom will be possible, a task which more often than not proves impossible. Both characters were interesting in their differences. One spoiled, pampered, and handed everything. The other struggling for survival from birth. That the two could ever find common ground is doubtful but together they bring out hidden depths that neither knew they possessed. I've read other offerings from Ms. Dee in the past but nothing that captured my heart like this one. If you love hot m/m action, testosterone filled action, and people discovering their true selves then this one is for you!
So I have exceeded my original goal of 60 by August. I knew I should have set it higher! LOL but anyway here it is so far.

Eye of the Beholder is the eleventh book in Carol Lynne's fantastic Cattle Valley series. I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea why I love her books so much. I'm thinking that it has to be because the characters are so alive that the actual inconsistencies in plot lines and detail don't really matter so much. Some day when I have a day of nothing to do I'm going to sit down and make Ms. Lynne a board with all the character details and plot threads, because I want her to keep writing and taking time to do it herself would take away from that. But all that aside I really don't care! I LOVE CAROL LYNNE and I will certainly forgive these minor technical difficulties because in the grand scheme of things they really don't matter! It's just an obsessed reader who has OCD being driven crazy by some minor glitch.
Now, on to the review. I liked Eye of the Beholder I was very happy to return to my favorite town and my favorite people. Cattle Valley would be like the coolest place to live. Can you imagine? Really? The people are nice, the men are hot, and the women too. (Yes, I love the series so much that I even read the side series by another author). I liked Rance and Bo, no they aren't my favorite characters in the series, (that acclaim will always fall on the worthy shoulders of the cross over Good Time Boys characters of Ryan, Rio, and Nate) but they were good characters. The chemistry between them was electrifying and the angst was well written and managed to skirt the edge of being on just this side of too much. Of course the plot was delicious and the sensual scenes were well written. Thank you Ms. Lynne for letting this reader visit Cattle Valley once again and I'm hoping that it will be a trip that will happen again and again. You can pick up your own copy here.
