Book of the Week!!! 08/28-09/03

August 28, 2012 by unwasted words

With one of the most striking covers to ever hit the shelves, how can you not want to pick this up and see what it’s about? The only thing more eye catching than the cover is the title, My Life As A White Trash Zombie. If Diana Rowland wanted to make a statement, she definitely got my attention. The book itself is a little slower than I normally like but the ideas and concept were wonderful. If a slower paced […]

Biting Breakthrough

August 22, 2012 by unwasted words

Biting Cold by Chloe Neill read by Sophie Eastlake Neill’s latest installment of her Chicagoland Vampires series wastes no time picking up where Drink Deep left off. Fans of Merit and her supporting sups will have a little vindication for sticking through the series regardless of it’s ups and downs. I wouldn’t say Biting Cold has that instant gratification factor. Readers looking for an early romantic reunion will be left wanting. Ethan and Merit seem right back to square one. […]

Engaging and Entertaining

July 26, 2012 by unwasted words

Grave Memory by Kalayna Price A girl’s gotta want more out of life, especially when your Prince Charming drinks out of the toilet and has his wardrobe imported from Petsmart. Personally Alex’s prospects aren’t much better with one fey knight who’s just as likely to kiss Alex as he is to kill her and one soul collector who’s avoiding her, which with Alex’s luck probably means that Death is just not that into her. Professionally the only constant is a […]

Book of the Week!!! 06/11-06/16

June 12, 2012 by unwasted words

I actually started reading Dorie Basarab book 1 around the time that I had begun listening to the audiobooks for the Cassie Palmer series and had no idea at the start that they were from the same author. Fans of vamps and dhampirs should add this one to their wish lists simply to experience Chance’s unique take on the genre. Anyone who might have had a hard time following Cassie’s time traveling hijinx will find Midnight’s Daughter more to their […]

Book of the Week!!! 06/05-06/11

June 5, 2012 by unwasted words

I love it when a world comes together and it just doesn’t get much better than Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series. The movie title rifts caught my eye and the audiobooks quickly caught my ears. Dead Witch Walking pretty much got me hooked on audiobooks. Plus any book that can combine a supernatural society with a great plot has my heart. If you haven’t been bewitched by Kim Harrison and Rachel Morgan then you’ve been missing out.  Get a copy […]

Wednesday’s Watch -The Legacy of Tril: Soulbound

May 30, 2012 by unwasted words

I like what’s cooking in Heather Brewer’s literary kitchen. She’s changing pace from chronicling bad boys to the legacy of a kick ass heroine. And it’s not hard to see why I’m excited about her new book with a description like this: Tril is a world where Barrons and Healers are Bound to each other: Barrons fight and Healers cure their Barrons’ wounds in the ongoing war with the evil Graplar King. Seventeen-year-old Kaya was born a Healer, but she […]
