I am still reading to calm my nerves, so I did a lot of re-read:
The first 5 books of Sookie Stackehouse series, “Soulless”, and “The Host” were my rereads.
I also finished “Tempest Rising” (Jane True series) by Nicole Peeler. The book is from the same publisher as “Soulless” and has the same editor, but that’s where similarities end. “Tempest Rising” is a modern supernatural romance mystery, featuring a half selkie half human girl named Jane who is a misfit in her small fishing town up north in Main.
Let me tell you first that I didn’t like the book and I think the character was weak. The story was somehow illogical, very rushed and full of unnecessary characters. Also Jane was supposed to be a college graduate but she was talking like a trailer trash girl. And she easily went with that vampire boy and let him wine and dine and romance her and had this whole Cinderella experience with gorgeous clothes and balls and spa and all but all that time she was thinking negatively about the guy. She was behaving like a paid mistress, (very déclassé) and has the guts to get upset with the guy when she thought he is using her! Can I say it again? Very white trash!
And, how in god’s green earth this half cooked book has won some kind of praise?
My current read is “Confessions of a Demon” by S.L. Wright. It is an urban fantasy full of demons, mayhem, a little romance a lot of confusion! Love Allay, she is kind and loving and strong…
Can't wait for the Wednsday to pass and my exam, then I go get a whole bunch of good books and become totaly lazy for the holidays!

I've read about 3 of the Sookie Stackhouse books - well-written. I really like Kim Harrison's witch novels (Dead Witch Walking, Every Which Way But Dead, etc.).
How do you like the "True Blood" series?
I like the books better.
Also love Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series. Can't wait for the latest to come out in May.
