Book 101 "The Vampire...in my Dreams" by Terry Lee Wilde

Well...I finished yet another book before May is here. I finished reading "The Vampire...in my Dreams" by Terry Lee Wilde just a few moments ago. Terry Lee Wilde is also known as "Terry Spear"...I've already read some of her other books which I adore. This book though really didn't appeal to me like her other books...maybe because I'm used to the adult romance written from her and not her YA romance. Here is the description from the back of the book for anyone who wishes to know what the book is about: "Love bites when a seventeen-year-old vampire and witch tangle. Marissa Lakeland faces her worst nightmare one dark and misty night when she chases a gorgeous hunk of a guy to prove he's a vampire. So why does the thought of tall, dark and vampiric appeal to Marissa, when there's no way a vampire can compel a witch to do his bidding? At least that's what she's read in vampire lore. But lore can be mistaken. Fledgling vampire Dominic Vorchowski knows Marissa's the only one who can save him. Only why does she have to be a witch? Fate has thrown him together with the bewitching Marissa and if he gains her trust, he'll have his life back again. Except for that whole eternal thirst for blood thing. And the fangs. Not to mention the aversion to intense sunlight. In any event, he's set his sights on one girl who's totally off the menu. The centuries-old vamp Lynetta wants Dominic to replace the lover she lost, and no teenaged witch is going to take her guy away. Dominic and Marissa must stop the vampiress from winning the battle of the night.but time is running out"
I did like certain parts of the book that caught my attention more than other parts. One of them being how the ending was. There was a little bit more action towards the ending. I think I'm going to stick with Terry Spear's werewolf romance novels. =) Which I have one more to read before her newest book comes out in August...although it is still on hold to read because I just got "Burned" in from Amazon.com. "Burned" is from one of my fave series...the House of Night. I can't wait to read it and hopefully I can savor this one more than the other one I read. I tend to read these books too quick and then I get upset. LOL
Oh well...onto more reading. =)
XOXO,

Book 100 "Dark Desires After Dusk" by Kresley Cole

It's about time, I had a chance to finish my 100th book. Geez...life has been crazy busy the last couple of weeks that one whenever I had time to read, I had to put the book down after a few chapters. I was really getting frustrated. The month of April is almost overwith so I was worried I wouldn't finish my last book to make my goal. Thank goodness I did. Yeah!! 100 books! I made my goal and now I can hopefully slow down, while my Photography business takes off and Alexia's Dance Recital comes up in June. =)
I just finished reading "Dark Desires After Dusk" by Kresley Cole. I'm in love with Cadeon...the main squeeze in this book. So far, I think he's my favorite male character in Kresley Cole's books. He's a demon so he has some serious rage issues, but he controls them very well. Holly is his mate that he's been looking after for a year. She doesn't realize that she's half-Valkyrie until she is kidnapped one night from her work. Cadeon is still stessed out from losing his brother's crown. He is trying everything to get his brother's crown back for him since he feels that he messed up. I won't go into the details about the book because I'll give away too much. All I have to say is I'm going to have a hard time taking a break from this series. I love Kresley Cole's Immortal After Dark Series. =) She has become a top 5 favorite author to me.
Here's hoping I can have the rest of this series books finished before I go in for surgery next month.
XOXO,
FranJessca

Book 99 "Hourglass" by Claudia Gray

I promised I would blog once I got home from work about the book I finished reading this morning. I finished reading finally the last book to the Evernight Series, "Hourglass" by Claudia Gray. It was much better than the 2nd one since their was more action. The ending though, had a twist to it I loved. I can't wait until the 4th book. I'm mad though of something that did happen that I wish didn't. =( Bianca and Lucas got to be together more in this book and Balthazar ended up getting hurt, which made me cry a bit.
The book still didn't have the same excitement like the other books I'm read though. I'm in love with the Immortal After Dark Series, LOTW Series, HoN Series and BDBH Series. I can't wait until the end of this month when the next HoN and BDBH Series comes out. Yes, this Mommy is very EXCITED!! =)
Otherwise, I am looking forward to the next Evernight Series book. Sorry I won't go into much detail, but this Lady is super tired.
Onto my next book tomorrow since I have one more book to read.
XOXO,
FranJessca

Just finished yet another book...

I promise to blog about the book I just read as soon as I get off work tonight. I'm 1 book away from goal. =)

Book 98 "Stargazer" by Claudia Gray

Yes...I finally finished "Stargazer" by Claudia Gray. I made time every night to at least read 3-5 chapters depending if I wasn't sleepy after work. I wasn't really feeling this book. After the first couple of chapters it just wasn't interesting to me. I almost didn't read it all the way. I have never done that while reading. I stuck it out though and decided to finish the book. I'm hoping the next book in the series is a little better. The book just didn't have much action to it that I'm used to. Not much fighting and the storyline just drug out. I found out some interesting stuff about Bianca though in this book. Bianca ended up hanging out with Balthazar more too and Lucas was in the book too, but not as much as Balthazar was. The ending was what upset the most though. Finally the book got to some excited parts to it and the ending just cuts off. Ugh!!! Here's hoping Hourglass picks up with a better twist to it and more action. I still like Claudia Gray, it's just maybe this series isn't that much like the ones I'm used to reading. Maybe if I read these books first out of all the books I already read, I would've like it more. Oh well...we'll see what the next book in the Everynight Series is like before I start judging.
XOXO,
FranJessca
