BOOKS GALORE and A Bowl of Cereal! ^-^

I haven't written anything in a while and I blame everything else but me. Makes things so much easier. You see a lot of thing's have happened over the period of these two months. Some good some bad and some just plain annoying.
I like to think sometimes that I am allowed to make decisions that benefit me in the long run and not what others think is the right thing to do and what makes them comfortable and PROUD.
Granted I am feeling a little regretful right now about what I had to do to basically survive I wouldn't change my decision even if I was given a do-over.
Okay so I have also come to the decision that my blog can't always be about what crazy thought that just happened to pass through my head during the day or what type of ignorant occurrence that spurred me to write. Leading me to write, ummm excuse me blog about the things I am currently involved in doing. You know like one of the many hobbies or extra-curricular activity I have involved myself in as to not go stir crazy.
Soooo, today it is going to be about a book series I just finished. Night Huntress Jeaniene Frost. Now I stumbled upon this book series when I was browsing the web looking for something interesting to read. In my opinion nothing makes a supernatural book more interesting than a little comedy. And this book had it by the bucket fulls.

The first installment is named Halfway to the Grave. Here is the summary.

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father - the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.

In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner - are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

So the summary is a little dry but when you really get into it, it's a hoot. Cat is a blushing 20 something year old who has nothing on her mind but kill kill kill. Just to get to the man who made her what she is and what he did to her crazy bible thumping mother.

Bones on the other is a 200 year vampire supernatural bounty hunter who only started toying with Cat because of what she was only to discover she was more than a ignorant girl with wicked aim.

This book hooked me so fast I probably broke a lot of laws getting the epubs to read. The fighting was brutal, the conversations were flowing, the characters were genius and the love between these two misfits was tolerable. Five starts from me.

I am also going to run through a few other series I read over the months since I had a lot, and when I say a lot I mean a lot of free time. Up next we have Jill Kismet by Lilith Saintcrow. 

Not everyone can take on the things that go bump in the night.

Not everyone tries.

But Jill Kismet is not just anyone.

She's a Hunter, trained by the best - and in over her head.

Welcome to the night shift...

I have got to say, Lilith was the first author to ever make me fall in love with strong female lead characters in novels. I had a phase, you know that phase where a disney movie felt like your life and a bubble gum song made your day. So when I got this book recommendation from a friend it literally changed my outlook and the roles of women in books and on screen or anywhere else for that matter. Jill was as bad ass as bad ass can be. It was either Yes or No with her, anything else was met with a bullet or her knives. OOOH SHE GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS.

Well, enough of that. Coming in at number three we have Soul Screamers by Rachel Vincent. Now this was your typical highschool drama mumble jumble but the plot of the book and the execution of the story is what got me hooked in the first place. That and the characters had you pulling out your hair and eating Zoomers like a crazy person while talking to yourself about fictional people. And that was only the first book.

She doesn't see dead people. She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.

Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next.

Kaylee is Banshee, don't fret not a spoiler. Before this book the supernatural creature known as the Banshee was unknown to me, probably that's why I got so hooked on the book. Her screams can literally keep a person's soul in their body suspending death and saving people. AWESOME.

Finally the last series that I devoured over my mini holiday is Ben and Fran by Katie Maxwell.

I used to think all I wanted was to have a normal life. You know, where I could be one of the crowd and blend in, so no one would know just how different I am. But now I'm stuck in the middle of Hungary with my mom, working for a traveling fair with my psychics, magicians, and other really weird people, and somehow, blending in with this crowd doesn't look so good.

Fortunately, there's Benedikt. Yeah, he may be a vampire, but he has a motorcycle, he likes the mysterious horse I suddenly acquired, and best of all, he doesn't think I'm the least bit freaky. So I'm supposed to redeem his soul -- if his kisses are anything to go by, my new life may not be quite as bad as I imagined.

Just one word for this book JUSTSIMPLYEPIC. I couldn't understand why this book haven't been made into friggin movie. Just genius in words. Fran and Ben, if they were real this world would be a better place. Don't ask me what that means it just means what it means. Fran is a girl who has a gift to feel the emotions of those she touches and Ben is a Dark One or whatever or as we call it Vampire. But this book is so far from your typical teenage vampire bullshit I cried when I passed chapter one

So that concludes my book gushing for today. A little later I might be gushing about something else. Blog with later!
