Neglected Poor Baby, Part 2

Ok, back from hanging with friends and lots of shopping (or window-shopping as the case is!), I got to finish 4 books just this last couple of days, which considering all the catching up I have to do; is a good head start!
“Secret life of a Vampire” (Love at Stake, Book 6) by Kerrelyn Sparks was not better than the last one in the series. This one is about the son of legendary Casanova and a NYPD police officer.
Also I had read the stories by my favorite authors in “Blood Lite”, this time I went ahead and read the whole book which was kinda weird! I mean I am OK with vampires and werewolves and ghosts and everything but chainsaw killers?! Come on!
Loved loved loved “Grave Goods” by Ariana Franklin. Adelia is changing her outlook, maybe out of necessity may be out of her love for Rowley. Also a coffin has been found with what Henry II prefers to be labeled as reminders of King Artur and his Queen and Adelia has to face unpredicted dangers and find the truth. I however found Adelia’s change of heart about Rowley a little out of character but hey… I loved the story and the suspended ending is killing me, so I will be really thankful if Ms. Franklin hurries and write the next book!
Else? Huh… “Memoirs of a Scandalous Red Dress” by Elizabeth Boyle was the third book of the series The Bachelor Chronicles and it happens some twenty years after the previous story. Lady Philippa (Pippin) has two grown children but her heart is still beating fast whenever she sees a rakish sailor. When a young stranger visits her with memories from her past, she knows it is time to pack her infamous red gown.
I was a little bored by this story mostly because half of the book was revisiting the past which we had read in the other books of the series and well this Dash was not as Dashing as before… rather thick I thought!
The two books of Darkest Powers series “The Summoning” and “The Awakening” by Kelley Armstrong were great. Chloe is a teenager who starts seeing things one day and her life goes belly up completely. She is send to a special house for troubled teens and meets a bunch of strange kids with stranger claims there. What happens afterward is an amazing although sometimes frustrating story. I cheered, cried and got angry with Chloe and I think I’m falling in love with Derek (if his acne clears of course!).
Loved the series and can’t wait for the next book!
Oooh, how can I forget?! “Dead and Gone” (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 9) by Charlaine Harris was so worth the wait but oh so short! Ms. Harris got rid of a couple of extra characters and cleaned the slate and we can safely assume that new characters are coming into the story. Somehow the great-grandfather Niall was getting tiresome! And we have to wonder what Jason is going to cook up now… also we are back to square one with Sookie not knowing which one she likes better: Eric or Bill… I however will be very happy when Bill bites the dust permanently! I hate his guts! Why can’t Sookie tell him Sayonara forever?!

Am reading a well awaited book and won’t say a word until I am finished but it is such a delight after all the serious books I’ve been reading!
So now I can say my poor neglected website has been getting enough attention these days and I’m gonna go and finish my books with a happy conscious!
