Beautiful Creature (A MUST READ!!)

Beautiful Creatures Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was amazing and so was the audio. The characters were as vivid and rich as red velvet cake. These ladies did a fantastic job weaving their tale into the historical southern atmosphere. Can't wait to read the next one!

Nightfall: Carmill (Before there was Dracula)

Carmilla Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu



The precurser to Dracula is a typical tale and when done as audio in radio theater is very entrancing. This is a good classical introduction to mythical vampires.

The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The book takes the path less traveled. Yes there was a murder and victim that dies. This is the story of the dead victim and how the world goes on being viewed. It is thought provoking and enlightening for the inner soul. I read and listened to the audio of the author divulging her work. It was a relaxing revealing travel.

A Touch of Dead

A Touch of Dead (Southern Vampire Mystery Short Stories) A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was hoping for a continuation in the Sookie series but got 5 short stories instead. One I had read before in another compilation. They are good stories but just enought to tease you for the real 300 or so page book. The taste is good but just a taste. It better to devour the books as wholes. Yes I would recommend this book but as a companion to all the others.

Blood Promises - Vampire Academy #4

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) Blood Promise by Richelle Mead


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
At first I was leary about this being mostly about Rose with no interaction from the characters from the other books. I must admit I was very suprised and pleased. This book was great. I loved seeing Rose's struggles and her having to rely on herself and her gut instincts to work through it. I really really can't wait for the next one to come out.
