Beeez, Beeez! I is Beeezy!

Well, looks like it’s one post a week now! I had the good fortune of reading a little more than past few weeks. So here it goes:
“Sacrament” by Susan Squires is a historical romance with a vampire hero. The book is too long in my opinion; the author could have made two or three books out of this one. In grade of 1-10 it would make a 3.
“Silver master” (Ghost hunters, Book 4) by Jayne Castle is a Sci-Fi romance about people 100 years in future in a planet name Harmony, a colony from earth. Psy powers are common but strong and strange ones are frowned upon. A matchmaker and an investigator are linked by an ancient artifact and persuade by mafia. They fall in love and live happily ever-after!
This one was book fourth in the series but I’m not sure I want to read more about this world and its people’s love life!
“The Plain Janes” by Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg was a comic book about 9/11 and its effect in a teenager’s life.
“Slave to sensation” and “Caressed by Ice” by Nalini Singh were book one and third of a Sci-Fi romance series about a parallel universe where people are in one of the three caset: Psy (those who have psychic powers), Changelings (Were-anything) and humans. Psy are the ruling caset by help of a program installed years ago. Silence stripes young Psy of their emotions when they are still babies. Psy grow up to be robotic unfeeling logical people. In the “Slave to sensation”, a powerful but damaged Psy starts to trust her feeling and see the truth of Changeling's society. She falls in love with a were-panther and the rest is history!
In the “Caressed by Ice”; a Psy soldier and assassin is feeling quite tender toward a Were-wolf who was abducted and abused in book one. They both have some learning and adjusting to do until they can find their happily-ever-after.
Then I checked “Shadow Touch” by Marjorie M. Liu. The story of Artur (he can read the history of things with touching them) and Elena who can perform miracles and heal any disease. Well, book two of Dirk and Steele novels was not as great as I thought but much better than book 3 (“the Red heart of Jade”). I wonder why all Ms. Liu’s heroes should be damaged and abused? Why can’t she see the attraction in strong perfect men? And what is the name of book 4? I can't find it anywhere!
And then finally I read “Your Coffin or Mine?” A Novel of Vampire Love (Dead End Dating, Book 3) by Kimberly Raye. Lil is busier than me in this book! She is looking for Ty (maybe he is abducted if he can’t call), is matching a variety of beings, is dodging her mother’s calls, playing bride maid to her would-be sister in law, and adopting a cat! Wow, talk about multitasking! Very fun and funny book, all in all. Loved it!
