The Gathering
Book 1 of another YA trilogy From Kelley Armstrong. That is by no way a put down on the book. It has her wonderful story lines going. She is great at creating characters that feel so real. This series feels more like on giant story. The book ends very abruptly and was very jarring. Now back to the good. Great story arc that blends in elements of the "otherworld" universe so that it was easy to pick up that it coincides with her other series. Her character development is spot on as I expect from her. I would recommend reading book 2 immediately afterwards.
The Calling
Book 2 of The Darkness Rising series. Continues with story arc from book 1 exactly where it left off. Typical middle book syndrome going, loads of character growth but not much plot growth. Still keeps interested in the series. I am looking forward to the last book.
The Garden Spell
The one it obviously a reread for me. I am looking forward to Lost Lake coming out on Jan 21 and picked up a copy of Garden Spell and Sugar Queen to reread before the new book comes out. I just devoured this book over a weekend. I really do lose myself in her writing. It is all just so magical.
Blue Moon (Anita Blake #8)
I still cannot get enough of this series. I really do enjoy all the characters and the multiple arcs se plays with. This book centers more on Anita and Richard. Their relationship is changing once again. Each book just sucks me in more. Thank heavens for the Library.
The Sugar Queen
This book feeds my sweet tooth, or better said it fuels my sweet tooth. I love the 3 main women of this book. They all go through so much to come out exactly where they need to be. I do have the printed copy of this book, so I have the chance to read a deleted scene but I never do. The book is perfect in my mind and I would not change anything in it.
The Giver
I had actually not read this book before. I know that it is on so many school reading lists but I had not read it. (by the way I love that schools do summer reading) I should have read the "book back" before diving in. I went in not knowing a thing as to what the book was about. I loved it. The world frightens me, as it should. I was not pleased with the ending and feeling like I am hanging out too dry but I hope the next book will make up for this ending.
LOST LAKE
This is new book from SAA. I know she was worried about her return to writing but the book hits the mark. Once in the grove of this book, I could not put it down. I did have problems getting into this book but it was not the book causing them, it was the camping trip and the cold that came back with me. Kate, Eby, and Devin are just amazing characters with so many cute quirks. The world of Lost Lake is one that I would love to find and become a resident of.
