I contacted "Customer Support" and they told me to read the FAQ's. We ll I did and found that they were of no help. There was a vague statement about my MOB booting too fact and I should disable fast boot features (really to get the keyboard to work????) . I was then told I did not have the "latest" software loaded (which, of course I did but what the heck I am just a moron and don't know what I have installed on my machine). So I spent an afternoon installing and uninstalling the trigger software and of course, the keyboard still did not work. The only other suggestion I got was to request an RMA so I can return the keyboard. What did I do, I found some other disgusted users and they explained that the software does not uninstall properly, which makes a mess of the registry. To fix the "problem, I had to do a clean install of my operating system and start over.Well it worked and although frustrated, at least my keyboard was working....until Christmas Eve. You guessed it, keyboard just stopped working again out of the blue. Reloaded software, turned off fast boot, moved USB connections around on the MOB. No effect. I am now using a 12 year old $15 membrane keyboard while my $100 mechanical keyboard sits on he floor. This time I will take Customer Support's advice and request a RMA.

When ordering, either online or by phone, I was asked for credit card information before I was even given a final price. I did order online and after completing my order, was informed to "allow 3 to 6 weeks for delivery". Since I was not willing to wait that long to get the product, I tried to cancel so I could purchase the item at a local store. I was told by customer service that the order took 48 hours to show up on their system and I should call back in a day or two. When I called back two days later, I was told that the product had already shipped and I would need to reject it when it was delivered. Tracking the item online is impossible.I did purchase the Flip Jack Pan a a local store and am very sorry that I did. I seasoned the pan as instructed and it ended up gooey, like when you use a spray oil on a non-stick pan. And, after seasoning, as other reviewers said, eggs stuck to the pan.

I had ordered a new copy of Michael Kiwanuka's Home Again LP and when I opened the box, I was astonished to see a vinyl that not only was not shrink wrapped but the sleeve was not even in the cover and it was very torn up. The vinyl even has a small scratch on it. I have never written a review before but I was so upset that I needed to vent. I understand that if I had ordered something used but I ordered something new and it was not new at all. I can't believe that this has happened. It took over a month for my order to come and when it showed it was not even shrink wrapped.

] | I've used this coffeemaker daily for a little over a year with no complaints. Brews great coffee and no problems with use until the last few weeks.+ Easy to use+ Well built - parts fit together easily+ great coffee+ thermal carafe keeps coffee warm w/o cooking it- thermal lid means a slow pour.- awkward to fill coffee reservoir- thermal carafe lid prone to clogging over time...if you don't maintain it, you'll have coffee all over the counter.After about a year of use, the thermal carafe lid had become clogged enough with coffee sludge (fine grounds/oil) and hard water deposits to slow the flow/stop the flow through the lid. I woke up one morning to coffee everywhere. Took me a while to figure out what was happening. Here's my fix:I soaked the lid in a bowl of 2 cups hot soapy water + 2/3 cup white vinegar for a few hours, agitating the lid in the mixture every 1/2 hour or so.Then, I rinsed the lid and packed baking soda in every opening and dropped it back into the mixture - hoping the fizzing action of the baking soda+vinegar would help loosen any remaining sludge.I rinsed it again, and whacked it against the side of the sink for a final effort to loosen sludge. Repeated the baking soda + rinse + whacking a couple of times. No more problems.In the future, I plan to do the soak at every Cleaning cycle/every couple of months.Or, if you don't want to deal with it, replacement thermal carafe lids are available for ~$6 + shipping. | 4 | Great coffeemaker if you keep up w/ maintenance | 1,263,168,000 | 01 11, 2010 |

] | INSURGENT is the same intense emotional rollercoaster ride as DIVERGENT. It’s a fantastic second book in the series. If anything INSURGENT is even more gut wrenching than the previous book. So gripping it was hard to turn loose of the story once I started reading. It’s one of those books that once you finish, the story lingers in your mind. This is one of those series that has to be read in order.If you've not read DIVERGENT you need to stop reading right now as there will be spoilers in this review that concern DIVERGENT. However, I’m going to try and not reveal anything that can spoil INSURGENT for you.Tris and Tobais may have survived and escaped with Caleb, Marcus and Peter, but all is not going to go smoothly from this point on. The tragic deaths of her parents and the horror of having to kill one of her best friends, Will, are going rip Tris to the point of self-destruction. Tobais is going to have to come to terms with more secrets hidden by his father. Plus, both Tobais and Tris are going to have their own secrets that have the potential to destroy what they have found in each other. A betrayal that comes out of left field shocks everyone, and like the betrayal there is going to be a rescue that will blow your mind. Better make sure the edge of your seat is comfortable, because you’re going to be spending a lot of time there.Heart pumping action is a guarantee with this series. The mysteries only get deeper and there is no coddling of us, the readers, as who will survive and who will die. All bets are off as to who will still be standing by the end of the book. This is war after all, or is it?A truly contagious series that won’t lose its hold until the last twist is coughed up.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 15 and older. There are scenes of intense violence. | 5 | DEATH, BETRAYAL, AND A PLAN | 1,396,051,200 | 03 29, 2014 |

] | This is a hard review for me to write because I loved the first two books so much. Did I enjoy this book? Kinda. Was I shocked and left with unsettled feelings? YES! As with the previous books in the series the emotional investment is pretty intense. Maybe that’s why this one has the most impact on me, but not necessary in a good way. Perhaps I was too emotionally caught up in the lives of the characters and the twist in this, the last look into their lives, was more than a little disquieting.ALLEGIANT begins where INSURGENT ended. There is a continuation that would have been fluid if not for the jarring use of two first person voices. This doesn’t normally bother me and I actually enjoy it in quite a few books I’ve read. Not the case here. Found it difficult to remember whose take on the story I was reading in several different points throughout the novel. Despite the confusion of which one was doing the talking, once again Tris and Tobais consume my total attention, as do all the characters in the story. There is a richness in each personality that isn't always seen in other books. I found myself invested in what was going to happen to them and what they were going to become embroiled in. The realism comes across, even if the story is unimaginable. But sometimes realism isn’t always a good thing. The buildup as to what is going to be found beyond the fence was so well done. The reality of what they find I wasn’t so happy with. Parts of it worked but larger parts were disappointing. As in the first two books, there are no punches held. Perhaps that is what makes all the stories so consuming. Knowing that nothing and no one is sacred brings an intensity and tension that’s tangible. If you have already read the first two books in the series you are going to have to read ALLEGIANT. I’m happy I read this but find myself left with mixed feelings as to the ending, heck, to the whole book. Maybe this is the only way for the story to end in Ms. Roth’s mind. She definitely left me with my feelings in turmoil and maybe that is what she intended.RECOMMEND to anyone 15 and older. Contains acts of extreme violence. | 3 | DISAPPOINTED, BUT HAD TO READ IT | 1,396,051,200 | 03 29, 2014 |

] | If you can manage to read this first book in the Night Huntress Series and walk away from the rest of the series you’re a much stronger person than me. I am completely and thoroughly hooked! Mrs. Frost has managed to take the writing of vampire books to a whole new level. And I bet the view from that height is amazing. Her novel HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE certainly fits the amazing category. You’re not going to be able to turn the pages fast enough once you become immersed into the lives of Cat and Bones. The only thing happy about the ending of this book is the fact at there is another one waiting for you, so you can jump right back into the laughter and drama that is their existence.This story is told by Catherine Kathleen Crawfield, better known as Cat. She has the distinct honor of being the only known half human and half vampire. Well, only known to Cat and her mother, Justina. Justina was attacked and raped by a vampire. She lived to tell the tale and deliver a full term baby five months after the rape. To say that what happened to Justina colored her feelings about vampire would be a humongous understatement. Justina informs Cat she is half monster when Cat turns sixteen. Cat spends the next six years trying to make up for the rape, and her own existence, by offering herself up as bait to vampires, then killing them. Her weekend hunting grounds are the bars and dives within a three hour drive of her home. It’s on one of her weekend hunting trips that she runs into Bones and it was the luckiest, horrible night of her life.Ahhh, Bones! It’s hard to type with the drool I have to keep wiping off my chin. He’s a Master Vampire that just happens to be a bounty-hunter on the lookout for vampires with contracts out on them. When he mistakes Cat as someone that has taken one of the many contracts out on him, let’s just say the fun REALLY begins. Cat is one lucky half-bred, in my opinion, to have caught the attentions of this sexy, hilarious, British vampire.Between Cat’s “shield of sarcasm” and Bones’ outrageous sense of humor the dialogue is so delicious it should be feed to us with a spoon. The book goes into the not so pretty picture of their lives but still manages to come away not one of those dreary angsty stories that drip with self-pity. Love Bones’ philosophy, “You play the hand you’re dealt just like everyone else in this bloody world.”It’s funny, it’s tragic, it’s filled with danger but the main point is that it’s filled with the best of excellent writing.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older. | 5 | AN AMAZING START TO A VAMPIRE SERIES | 1,391,817,600 | 02 8, 2014 |

] | There was a certain nervous expectation when I started to read this book. Will it be as wonderful as the first book in the series? Is Cat going to be her snarky self, swigging Gin, and making sure her sarcastic armor is firmly in place? Can Bones be as irreverent with his one liners and as sensually sexy? My verdict? YES! YES! YES! No disappointments. Nothing but pure pleasurable reading from the first chapter to the closing of the book. If you are looking for a new vampire, paranormal series to become immersed in, this is the one you want to start. Be sure to begin with the first book in the Night Huntress series, HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE. Just to give yourself an extra treat, read RECKONING, a prequel novella, told from Bones’ point of view before he meets Cat.If you’ve not read HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE, you might want to stop right now, because there will be definite spoilers for it in this review. If you intend to go ahead and read this book first (WHY would you deny yourself the pleasure of book 1??) you should be OK and not get lost as you go through the story. Mrs. Frost does a fantastic job of giving the reader background on what happened in the previous novel.Alright here goes.As I began reading a feeling of confusion came over me. Sure, I remembered Cat leaving Bones at the end of HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE, but as I read it felt like the separation was permanent. I was shocked to find out it had been four years since Cat had run away from Bones. WHAT THE HECK!?! How was it possible that it was taking them so long to get back together? Then again, how clever, on Mrs. Frost’s part, to give Cat time to mature, to develop a background that works into a major storyline for Cat and Bones. Yeah, it was heartbreaking for all concerned (including me) but it just made the reconciliation that must sweeter because of the time spent apart. Well, sweet will never be applied to Cat and Bones, but it sure made for an entertaining read when they are put back in the same room together. Seriously, I was laughing like a crazy woman through the whole reunion. The moment Cat’s mom, Justina, realizes Bones is going to be in the picture again is Priceless! Of course, Bones has the delicacy of a bull in his handling of Justina. Although he has way more patience than any living person could muster while dealing with her.While I’m not going to, would love to go into details about the amazing twist and turns the story takes. Surprises are as plentiful as the dead bodies. Cat’s job with a covert branch of Homeland Security and her boss Don results in both frustration and long kept secrets being revealed. Tate is going to become more of a problem for Cat than he has been in the past. Bones’ vampire friends become harder to separate from enemies. As a matter of fact you are going to be provided a mini lesson in the structure of vampire society, courtesy of Bones. Too bad Cat didn’t take the time to ask a few more questions concerning specific points of the hierarchy before making plans. Plans she keeps hidden from Bones and that always works out well for her. NOT! Would have saved her a lot of pain if she had shared, course then we would have missed out on a bodacious fight scene. The ending is a marvelous surprise and there’s not a major cliffhanger. I was left with delicious anticipation for the next book in the series. All in all a very satisfying novel! Already have AT GRAVES END lined up and ready to read.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older. There are graphic depictions of violence and marvelous depictions of highly sensuous and sexual adult behavior. | 5 | WONDERFUL SECOND BOOK IN THE SERIES! | 1,392,422,400 | 02 15, 2014 |

] | This is the first book in the Night Huntress Series that I actually cried while reading. Well, that’s not strictly true. I’ve cried in the past from reading Mrs. Frost’s books but it’s always been from laughing so hard at some of the things Cat and Bones say to each other or to those around them. This book runs the full gauntlet of emotions. It’s another one of those novels that’s such a fast read, mainly because you’re not going to want to put it down once you start. If you have never read any of the books in the series you will be given enough background information you won’t be lost as you read. But do not deny yourself the pleasure of reading the books in order.If you want to check out the first two books in the Night Huntress series you might want to stop now as there will be spoilers for you in the rest of the review.As the story begins Cat is becoming too well known among the people of the undead world. She is becoming a liability on the job to herself and her team. Dave may be a ghoul now, and Bones is always going to be watching Cat’s back, but it’s becoming more dangerous with each new mission they go for Don. Tate, Cat’s second-in-command, suggests using one of the captured vampires, Belinda, as bait instead of Cat.OK, just a little side note here about Tate. He is blinded by his love for Cat, to the point where he is constantly throwing it in Cat and Bones’ faces. The man acts like he has a serious death wish. But what delicious reading it makes!Back to the story. Tate’s suggestion is going to lead to one of the deadliest mistakes that is ever made. The repercussions are to have a ripple effect throughout the rest of the story. Yeah, I kinda need to stop now on that subject. Just know that the twist and curves thrown at you are going to come fast and furious.It’s going to feel like ‘old homes week’ as all the important sub-characters from previous books make their appearances. Bones’ needling of Justina, Cat’s mom, makes for some of the most hilarious reading you will find in any book you will ever read. Just be prepared to have raised eyebrows and questioning looks tossed your way while you are doing all that laughing out loud. To say a meeting between Cat and her father doesn’t go well could be one of the understatements of the year. Mencheres remains mysterious to a deadly point, and we are treated to some wonderful new characters. Some are destined to make appearances in future books, while others won’t be so fortunate.From cover to cover AT GRAVES END is amazing and I have no problems in HIGHLY RECOMMENDING it to anyone over the age of 18. There is explicit violence, langue and adult situations. | 5 | AMAZING FROM START TO FINISH | 1,394,150,400 | 03 7, 2014 |

] | Cat and Bones are never a disappointment! Fantastic fourth book in the Night Huntress universe! Not sure where this universe is located but if I can become one Bones’ snacks, sign me up. Ms. Frost continues to deliver book after book with characters and storylines that draw me in and guarantees late night reading. While this is a series that I think would be a crime to not read in order, it’s not necessary to do so. Each book contains enough background from previous novels that anyone reading them out of order won’t be lost. But WHY would you do that to yourself?? So, if you haven’t started this series don’t wait any longer. Vampires, Ghouls, sex, violence, and an intriguing storyline, what more can you ask from a novel?I can’t help but love Cat. Her style is so irreverent and sarcastic, how could a person not love her? She has evolved from a surprisingly nave young killer, into the deadly “Red Reaper”, feared by rogues in both the vampire and ghoul communities. Cat has no filter between her brain and what comes out of her mouth. Delicate language is the last thing she could ever be accused of.The novelty of a half human, half vampire is beginning to wear off with the undead and they are starting to wonder if she may become more of a threat to their world. As always, Bones will protect and love Cat no matter what current disaster finds her. At least it’s been that in the way past. This new catastrophe, that erupts while they are on the first vacation Cat has ever had in her life, may be the one that tears them apart. Mencheres is once again right in the middle of the intrigue that involves Cat. As ruthless as Bones is, he sure has amazing patience with his gran-sire. Come to think of it Bones has unbelievable patience with Cat too. There is one scene in DESTINED FOR AN EARLY GRAVE that is way over due, if you ask me. Bones is going to finally lets loose on Cat about what he has put up with, from her, because of his intense love for her. Man, was I ever cheering him on! OK, it broke Cat’s heart, but sometimes hard things to hear just have to be said.Ahhhh, Bones. Now there is a vamp worth drooling over. His sensuality is thick as cream. Irresistible and dangerous wrapped up in the same scrumptious undead body. Not hard to understand why Cat walks around in a constant state of jealousy. Masculine beauty combined with a hilarious sense of humor, heaven walking on earth. Delish, simply delish!Ms. Frost is a master when it comes to conjuring up new twist. There is never a dull, long drawn-out section in any of the Night Huntress stories. Surprise is the norm, as well as laugh-out-loud lines. Emotions will be all over the place as you immerse yourself in the story. Good times people!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone over the age of 18. Expect the most delightful adult situations as well as extreme violence. | 5 | MARRIED OR NOT? | 1,396,051,200 | 03 29, 2014 |

] | This first full novel spin off from the Night Huntress Series is not to be missed! As with Cat and Bones stories, this tale of Denise and Spade has plenty of steamy love scenes, dangerous villains to defeat, and moments of humor amidst all the drama and sorrow. Ms. Frost has created one of my favorite series with the Night Huntress. FIRST DROP OF CRIMSON grabbed my attention from the beginning as all of her books in the series do. Found it to be a quick read, not because it’s a short novel, but because it’s just so intense I didn’t want to put it down.An unbelievable world of vampires, ghouls, and demons becomes real to me as I burrow into the story. The dialogue is a huge factor in making the book believable. There is such a natural flow to how the characters converse with each other. Clever one liners pop up in the most unexpected and serious spots.If you’ve not been following the series but you want to start, you might want to skip the rest of this review. I’m not going to deliberately try and put in spoilers but it’s hard not to when this story is about Cat’s best friend, Denise and one of Bone’s best friends, Charles (or Spade, his vampire name).Denise has made a decision to never become involved with the undead world again after becoming entangled in a vampire war that causes the death of her husband, Randy. This means she has cut off all contact with Cat. Turns out though the undead world isn’t finished with her. Her vow to avoid anything not human is shattered when a demon by the name of Raum explodes into her life and nothing will ever be the same afterwards. Needing Cat’s help but not knowing how to reach her, after a year of no contact, she calls the only person that she still has a working number for, Spade. This is not something Spade is wanting to get tangled in because he has his own vow to never become involved with a human, again, (leaving that little mystery as to why for you to discover). Spade can’t ignore Denise’s plea for help, course turns out Denise is darn hard to ignore also. It’s a race to find an ancient relative of Denise’s to save her from the demon’s essence that courses through her body. And a fight to combat the growing desire between the two of them. Sooo, much fun to read!I cannot stress to you enough how wonderful the Night Huntress Series is and all of the spin offs that accompany it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older! | 5 | VAMPIRES, DEMONS, AND SEX....YEAH!! | 1,398,124,800 | 04 22, 2014 |

] | Seems like every time I finish reading a new book in either the Night Huntress Series or the Night Huntress World I declare that it’s my favorite one yet. You’re right, it’s happened again. ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS was as enthralling as all the rest. Word to the wise, always start one of Ms. Frost books when you have plenty of time to devote to it. Promise you are going to need that time, because once you start you are not going to want to put it down until completed. Completed with a huge satisfied smile and a burning desire to start the next book in either series or world.Here is my standard warning concerning any of the stories about Cat, Bones and spin off friends’ stories; if you’ve not read the series (man, you have GOT to read these books!) you might want to skip the rest of the review as there will be spoilers. Now if you’ve been keeping up with the series go for it. I try my best to not put spoilers in as I hate them myself when reading a review.With ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS I was presented with a story I’ve been craving. One that features the mysterious Mencheres. Grandfather to Bones and sire to both Ian and Charles (Spade), Mencheres captured my imagination. I mean come on, here is a Master Vampire over four thousand years old, Egyptian, exotic, younger looking than Bones and more powerful than any other vampire Ms. Frost has introduced me to. How could I not be fascinated by him? The wealth of information provided about him in this story was extremely satisfying. And who knew, the man has a sense of humor! Not a laugh a minute kind of guy but the kind that slips in a funny that takes you by surprise because you just don’t expect it out of him.Mencheres is going through a really rough patch in his long life. He’s lost his visions, the ability to locate others anywhere they may be, and the guilt over helping Bones to kill his wife is pretty much doing him in. Just a side note here, after over nine hundred years of not getting any nooky I’m surprised Mencheres didn’t kill her himself, and anyone else that just happened to walk by. Back to reasons for his depression; he has an eons-old feud with a corrupt Law Guardian named Radjedef heating up. And to top it off the man feels like no one, (yes, even the ones he loves) in his four thousand years of existence ever truly loved him or did anything for him without an ulterior motive. Thank the Lord Kira burst into his life. He wasn’t too thrilled at the time she showed up as it really throws his plans in the dumpster. But as in many cases, love shows up when it’s needed, not necessarily when we want it to. Kira is the perfect woman for him. Brave, not easily intimidated, with the plus of not having a clue how powerful, rich, or important he is. In other words, when she says she loves him, he knows it’s for all the right reasons. Course it’s a dangerous and twisted path before they make it to the “I love you”.If you think the Night Huntress Series is all you need to read to get Cat and Bones story, think again. These spin offs are just as important to be in the know of all things Cat and Bones. Besides, why the heck would you deny yourself the extreme pleasure of reading ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS? That’s just crazy thinking!HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older. | 5 | YEAH! FINALLY, MENCHERES STORY! | 1,398,124,800 | 04 22, 2014 |

] | Great start to a new series! Prepare for a fast paced novel that is going to engage your emotions from the first page turned until the last page read. Rollins always does an amazing job of creating a story by using scientific and historical facts then twisting them in such a way as to make the unbelievable seem not only reasonable but plausible. I’m torn here trying to write this because I don’t want to ruin any of the astonishing twist and turns taken throughout the entire story. And--WOW--are there ever some tense moments created that seem impossible to find a way out of. The different sub-characters that make appearances are going to blow your mind!Erin, as the heroine, is the type of female I personally love. She is smart, strong willed, and not easily pushed around. She’s not without baggage though, created from a past that has predisposed her into rejecting anything that carries a religious nature to it. When Erin is pulled away from her own archaeological dig in Caesarea, Israel to help at the historical site of Masada it is the beginning of a race across several countries, with two companions, to try and find a book. A book, the Blood Gospel, which if delivered into the wrong hands can conceivably mean the end of the world. Erin companies a mysterious Vatican Priest, Father Rhun Karza and a less mysterious but very attractive Sergeant Jordan Stone, of the Ninth Ranger Battalion, in pursuit of the Blood Gospel. This is going to be a journey for Erin and Jordan not only from country to country but into the fantastical realm of myths and legends. A realm Father Rhun is not only familiar with but a card holding member of. Evil follows them every step of the way.The BLOOD GOSPEL reminds me of a cross between INDIANA JONES and THE DEVINCHY CODE. Rollins and Cantrell have created a wonderful tale that kept me up way later than I should have been reading. I cannot wait until the next book in the series, INNOCENT BLOOD, comes out!Highly recommend this book to anyone over the age of 16 because of the graphic depiction of violence. | 5 | Fantastic Read! | 1,385,424,000 | 11 26, 2013 |

] | Still in love with the Order of the Sanguines Series! James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell deliver a second novel to the series that is as spellbinding as the first book in the series. Expect urban fantasy of the highest order. To truly enjoy the experience you must read THE BLOOD GOSPEL first. But isn't that true of any well written series; the books need to be read in order?The authors have managed to masterfully meld Science, Religion, and the paranormal in such a way that what would normally seem outrageously crazy becomes acceptable. Sure the heroes and heroines survive certain death time and time again but, once again, isn't that expected in any action, thriller, adventure, or mystery tale? At least when they do survive, the method of survival is plausible. Every action, reaction and consequence is well thought out.I was happy to see Dr. Erin, Sargent Jordan, and Father Rhun Korza back, working together in the second leg of the mission to save the world from Armageddon. Cardinal Bernard is also back still trying to make prophecy work the way he believes it’s supposed to and not listen to what others believe. We learn of the prophecy in THE BLOOD GOSPEL, which foretells, of the trio needed to save the world: A Woman of Learning, A Knight of Christ, and A Warrior of Man. Bernard has his doubts Erin is the Woman of Learning despite everything she accomplished in helping find the Blood Gospel. Now the church is searching for The First Angel to fulfill the second part of the prophecy and Erin is included in the hunt despite Cardinal Bernard objections. The trio, teamed with new and old allies, begins a quest that will take them across the length of Italy, and into frigid Switzerland in a race against the leader of the evil Delial to find The First Angel.The historical and biblical figures that appear as major players in the drama are as varied as they are astonishing. Rollins and Cantrell do an amazing job with making all the characters feel true to the respective rolls they play. Dialogue is spot on.INNOCENT BLOOD ends on a cliff hanger so we can look forward to another book in the series. I cannot wait until the next one is out! One of the best series I've read this year. Stayed up way to late and got up way to early because I couldn't wait to see what new twist was going to be tossed into the mix.Highly RECOMMEND to anyone 16+. Depictions of extreme violence are throughout the book. | 5 | LOVE THIS SERIES!! | 1,386,633,600 | 12 10, 2013 |

] | DIVERGENT captured my attention and hung on with a death grip until the last page was turned. Only good thing about finishing the story was knowing I had the next book in the series waiting for me. This post-apocalyptic tale, set in Chicago, is a YA story with a broad appeal for all ages. While DIVERGENT doesn’t end on a major cliffhanger, there are lots of questions raised in the story that need answers. Looking forward to finding out those answers!Ms. Roth does an amazing job of creating a new governing system that is supposed to encourage peace among the citizens which lives in and around Chicago. Five different factions are created that are designed to play into the strong values of each individual person and by extension, the group as a whole. Each person lives in the faction of their parents until the age of sixteen. At sixteen they take an aptitude test to help determine which faction best fits their personality. Freewill still plays a part though since each one of the teens still has the option of staying with their parents or moving to an entirely new faction. One major drawback on changing factions is that if a teen takes that route they will forsake their family, forever. Pretty harsh.Reading DIVERGENT is like reading the blue print for a new world order without the boring bits. Boring is the last word to ever be used in conjunction with this book. The hero and heroine are teens and very true to form for their ages. What Beatrice is put through shows just how tough she is both mentally and physically. Four, (yeah, strange nickname but so appropriate as you will find out) at eighteen, is all male and hard for Beatrice to ignore. Can’t say as I blame her, since Four is the best of his faction as far as I’m concerned. Yes, I keep talking about the different factions without details. Here’s the thing, I don’t want to ruin one single surprise as the story unfolds for you. That’s what makes this book so good, the many twist. People you think you should trust turn out to be the very ones to look out for. Some uneasy alliances will be formed with enemies. For me the fence, that surrounds the entire city with guards, and the gates that lock from the outside, makes the city seem like more of a prison than a haven.Wonderful details throughout the book and the dialogue is well written and true to the characters, whether they are teens or adults. There is a natural flow to the entire story that makes for a fast read. Of course the fact that the book is so engaging helps with the fast read part.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 16 and older. There are depictions of violence that might concern some. | 5 | POST-APOCALYPTIC YA GREAT FOR EVERYONE | 1,394,496,000 | 03 11, 2014 |

] | This first book in the Twilight series a wonderful start to a series. It was honestly the first book in a very long time I had read that featured vampires. It opened a new world of what a marvelous writer could do with such a subject. A YA book that is just as enjoyable for a person from an older generation, such as myself, to read.Bella and Edward's beginning love story has all the usual teenage angst on Bella's side that you would expect. Edward has a fascinating story to tell of his existence. The combining of a human and a vampire is not new to stories but this one is very well written and draws a person into Bella and Edward's personal trials. | 4 | Twilight is a great start to a YA series | 1,380,153,600 | 09 26, 2013 |

] | An absolute treat of a book (pun intended)! Had so much fun reading SLEEPING WITH THE ENTITY. It’s packed with laugh out loud humor from the first page read until the last page read. How refreshing to read a novel where the heroine isn’t drop dead gorgeous but still manages to attract the attention of the smoldering sexy vampire.Daniella is planning on opening a cupcake shop and is trying to get the blessings of Nick, head of the local business association. One little problem, Daniella is human and Nick is a vampire. Nick encounters one problem after another in trying to discourage her. Even after Nick decides it’s better to keep Daniella close so he can keep an eye on her complications arise, along with Nick’s attraction. Mayhem pretty much ensues from their first meeting.SLEEPING WITH THE ENTITY is filled with delightful personalities. Heroine, Daniella, is described by Nick as “stubbornly cheerful, ridiculously chatty….” while Daniella’s nickname for Nick is “Negative Nick”. Among the sub-characters, that all happen to be vampires, are Pat, tattoo artist; Bruce, Pat’s boyfriend; Doc Boomer, vampire dentist; and Neville, super-nerd, I’m sure you’re getting the picture here that this isn’t going to be your ordinary vamp clan.Witty dialogue is the norm and the characters are endearing. I believe you are going to find this to be as fast read for you as it was for me. The action never stops as well as the laughs.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to any one 18 and older. | 5 | HIGHLY RECOMMEND | 1,388,966,400 | 01 6, 2014 |

] | I had high hopes that Bella would stop being quite so whiny in this book. That she would start to develop a backbone but it was not to be.Don't get me wrong. Yes, I did enjoy the book but it was hard getting pass all the misery and depression on Bella's part. At least we have her Indian friend Jacob, who is also a werewolf, to garner some of our attention and hers. But he also has to handle Bella with kid gloves.Edward and the rest of the vampires spend very little time in the book but hopefully this is because Meyer's is setting the stage for the next round possibly between the Werewolf's and the Vampires.I'm still a fan and eager to read the next book | 3 | Enjoyable but a whine feast. | 1,380,153,600 | 09 26, 2013 |

Jacob and Bella's friendship(?) gets complicated with two people now in depression instead of just Bella. At least Edward and Bella finely seem to be getting to gather by the end of the book. | 3 | Ok, need to read to be ready for the fourth and last in the series | 1,380,153,600 | 09 26, 2013 |

] | The last and final book in the series is much better than the last one. There is danger, suspense, and mystery. Bella starts to toughen up a little and it's a pleasure to not have to go through all the crying and whining that was the norm in the past books. I understand the idea of getting across how miserable she was but Dang! it was beginning to make me ready to slice my wrist in sympathy with her. OK, enough of that.The final chapter is a fitting drama to top of the series and well worth the read. | 3 | At last, Drama, Action and Mystery | 1,380,153,600 | 09 26, 2013 |

] | THE WARDED MAN is an epic tale that pulls you into the lives of the three young children the story is centered around. So well written, and with such graphic details from the introduction of Arlen, Leesha, and Rojer as youngsters, then following them through to young adults, it feels like you’re reading a biography on the three. Mr. Brett does a masterful job of bringing together what seems like three of the most unlikely companions. This is not a light hearted fantasy. It’s dark and gritty with enormous disappoints and betrayals for the protagonists. At the same time there are lighter moments of hope, of neighbor helping neighbor to survive, of individuals that rise to heroic deeds to save others. Man, I LOVE this book!This story is set in a time where demons, called corelings, rule the night. Humans barricade themselves behind wards trying to survive the nightly assault from a host of every imaginable kind of demon. But humans are losing the war, always the hunted and never the hunter. Arlen, Leesah, and Rojer each have a disastrous encounter with the demons when they are children. They manage to survive and in their survival their lives are changed forever.Arlen is my favorite of the three children. Don’t get me wrong, Leesah and Rojer are fantastic characters, it’s just that Arlen seems to be the one, to me, that has his childhood illusions shattered the most cruelly. One of my favorite quotes in the book is one that is directed at Arlen; “Welcome to adulthood,”…..”Every child finds a day when they realize that adults can be weak and wrong just like anyone else. After that day, you’re an adult, like or not.”Once I started reading it was very difficult for me to put the book down. Was so consumed as to what was going to happen next to each of the main characters I stayed up way to late reading, promising myself just one more chapter over, and over, and over……..I’m sure you get the picture. How wonderful to find such an enthralling story! Can’t to read the next book in the series!Would recommend to anyone over 18. | 5 | LOVE THIS BOOK! | 1,387,756,800 | 12 23, 2013 |

] | Absolutely, without a doubt, Loved this book! "The Dark Gate" is an urban fantasy sure to keep you turning pages. Read this in one setting not willing to put it down until finished. Fast read, fast pace, fascinating novel.As you start reading you think it's going to be a police mystery but it's so much more. Jack Hallihan is a Detective in the Washington, D.C. Police Department with a crime that consumes him with it's seemingly impossible execution. Brutal rapes committed in front of witnesses that no one, not even the victim, can remember. To make matters worse he has a secret that he believes is driving him crazy. Jack only hopes he can solve the mystery surrounding the case before he loses his mind.From Jack's first encounter with Larsen Vale he is hopelessly attracted. Hopeless in that he has pretty much decided he'll never have a wife and the children he longs for and because Larsen is know as an "Ice Bitch extraordinaire." Larsen has her own secrets she's been protecting since she was eight years old. Secrets that she considers a curse and prevents her from forming relationships with anyone, male or female. Fate has it's own plans for both of them when Larsen's curse plunges her into the middle of Jack's rape case, turned murder case.Truly don't want to ruin any of the twist and turns that make the book so much fun to read. And it is a fun read.Mrs. Palmer creates delightful, believable characters. Jack is so engaging with his charm, humor, and kick butt badness. Larsen captures your sympathy with her loneliness and the reasons for it. Attraction is undeniable. Trust is something neither of them are willing to extent to the other.This is an absolute DO READ for anyone over the age of 17 if you are into urban fantasy and even if you're not would still recommend for you to give it a try. Can be read as a stand alone book. Luckily there is another book "Dark Deceiver" that continues the supernatural elements introduced in "The Dark Gate". I have it and it's next up to be read! | 5 | An Enchanting Urban Fantasy Well Worth Reading | 1,383,782,400 | 11 7, 2013 |

] | Violence and darkness in a villain never looked so good and Kederil the Dark is a very delicious bad boy! Kederil, (Kade), and Autumn's story is told in this the second book in the Esria series. Autumn is a friend of Larsen's in the first book of the series, The Dark Gate, and she joins with the original cast of characters in Dark Deceiver to guard against the return of the Esri. Was happy to see Larsen, Jack, and the rest of the gang from book one return. Love it when a series doesn't just drop characters from previous books but gives them a place in each new book in the series.In Dark Deceiver a team of four from Earia is sent into our world to recover the all important dragon stone. A stone know to be a key used to open or lock all the gates between the human world and the world of the Esri, (faerie). Also a major part of the mission is to find an additional six stones that had been removed from Esria. These stones contain great power to work magic. Kade's task is to find the dragon stone while Zander and Ustanis are to search for the remaining six power stones. Yes, you counted right, one of the team members doesn't get to stay in the human world. The fact that Zander hates Kade with a passion complicates an already difficult undertaking for Kade. After Kade meets Autumn, and her friends, what is a difficult task becomes distasteful as well. Never having interacted with humans Kade's ideas of what they are under goes a major shift during his time with Autumn.Autumn is not the typical gorgeous female that does the reforming of a villain, which I find refreshing. Autumn is six foot four inches of, in her words, "orange hair, freckles and a gene for klutziness".--Autumn has a great sense of humor that I think she uses to cover a lot of her insecurities with.-- Kade sees her in an entirely different light. Of course when you stand seven foot tall like Kade does it makes Autumn's height a perfect fit for him. Isn't it wonderful when a person only sees flaws in themselves while those exact same "flaws" are what draws someone else's attention and admiration.Kade is not pure Esri so his human blood, and his human looks insures he has no family or friends in Esria. He has made a place for himself as the Punisher for King Rith by being the most vicious, ruthless, feared male in the land. Love it in the book when Kade has to keep reminding himself to be a "nice human" those times he has to communicate with humans . Autumn's warmth, humor, and kindness gives him something he has never experienced before....acceptance....love. Kade becomes increasingly determined to protect Autumn but when he finds out the truth about his king and Zander's plans he realizes that he is going to have to save Autumn's human world in order to save Autumn.Fast paced read that I hated to put down once started. So you might want to make sure you have plenty of time to spare so you aren't interrupted at a critical point in the book which seems to happen every few pages. Would recommend you read this series in order but that's pretty much any series you start, right? Love this series and would highly recommend to anyone. | 5 | A Villain you are sure to Love! | 1,384,214,400 | 11 12, 2013 |

] | Don't miss out on one of the best paranormal series ever written. Is it a great literary work of art? No. Is it mind blowing complex, provocative and sensual to the extreme, packed with mystery, drama, fascinating characters, gross imagery, that will have you lathered up wanting the next book in the series when you have devoured this one? You bet your petunia!!!You will become so involved with the main characters of Mackayla Lane (Mac) and Jericho Barrons you will swear they are breathing the same air as you.Beginning in George where Mac is a self described "part-time bartender, part-time sun-worshipper, and full-time glamour girl" she finds out her older sister has been murdered. This is not suppose to happen in her "rainbow-hued, prettily manicured world". Life turns dark for Mac when she decides to cross the globe to Dublin, Ireland to try and find out what happened in the last days of her sister's life and who was the one to turn out the lights. She just doesn't realize how dark not only her world was going to become but the entire human race's world. So much more is at stake than solving her sister's murder.When she is thrust into an alliance with Jericho Barrons circumstances become so much more bizarre than she ever would have believed possible. Mac isn't sure if she can trust him or if he is one more monster in her rapidly changing and evolving world of the strange and unusual.Packed with a huge cast of characters that Moning manages to give such substance and insight into you feel they aren't one dimensional but fully developed in their own right with their own sub-stories within the main story line. The book is so detailed it fills your mind with such images you can almost step into the streets with the characters.Can you tell I was totally caught up in the experience? If you don't like cliff hangers you will still love this series. Lucky you, the five books that was to be the complete series are available so you won't have to wait for the next installment. Lucky us that have read the series she has agreed to do more books.This is an Adult series that becomes darker, more violent, and more voluptuously carnal with each book in the series. Is it all sex? Big NO on that. But it is in there.Can not recommend this book enough whether you like paranormal books or not. | 5 | Fired my imagination as no book has in a long time. | 1,382,140,800 | 10 19, 2013 |

The only minor criticism would be that some of Mac's soul searching and anguish tended to drag on a little to long and I would start wishing for someone to show up and tell her to get the fecked on with it. Can't wait for future MacKayla novels. | 5 | Mind games that keeps you second guessing your own convictions of who Mac and Barrons are. | 1,363,996,800 | 03 23, 2013 |

] | Mark this as another enjoyable read in the Death series, featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas and Roarke. One of the great things about this series is that it’s not necessary to have read all of the previous books in order to understand what is going on in the current book. Of course you would have a much richer understanding of the dynamics of all the many characters that populate these tales. A better handle on their personalities, how they relate and interact on a more personal level. But there are no cliffhangers that compel you to read the next book to find out what happened. The compulsion to HAVE TO READ the next book comes from them being so well written.I’ve read all of J.D. Robb’s books and Dallas, Roarke, along with the huge cast of supporting characters have become old friends. Dallas seemed mellower in CONCEALED IN DEATH. She has always come across as very intense, on edge. The vibe she gives off is lower keyed. Sure, she’s mad as heck over the murder of so many young girls, but for me the edginess was missing. There is a new forensic anthropologist introduced in this book, Dr. Garnet DeWinter, which looks like she may become a point of conflict for Dallas in future books.Roarke makes an appearance in a few different scenes but doesn’t play as large a roll as he has in the past. This seems to hold true with most of the old regulars I’ve grown to love over the years. Don’t get me wrong, this is still a book worth reading. It just felt a little flat when you compare it to past books.I can still recommend this book as one worth spending time with. Recommend to anyone 18 and older. | 4 | IS DALLAS MELLOWING?

] | INDISCREET is a classic Regency Historical Romance. The language, mannerisms, and even the excessive politeness of the English characters quickly drew me into an old world frame of mind as I read. Ms. Jewel does a great job of painting a picture of the era this story takes place in. The formality of the characters comes through loud and clear.There is a unique angle to this novel, in that most of the story takes place in countries other than England. Usually when I read a Regency novel I expect the action to take place in England. Not so with INDISCREET. Sure it starts out in England but lies and scandal drives our heroine out of the country to Turkey and other Middle East counties on a prolonged trip.Sabine Godard and her Uncle are forced out of England when lies ruin her reputation and social standing. Luckily her Uncle doesn’t abandon her but stands by her. Oh, he’s a crotchety old guy and doesn’t seem the most loving of relatives but she’s devoted to him. They have been traveling through Egypt and have settled in Turkey near Constantinople for an extended time when the Marquees of Foye (Edward) runs across Sabine and Godard at a social gathering.It’s been eighteen months since Edward has last seen Sabine. They hadn’t been all that well acquainted when in England. He had been a simple Lord and not the Marquees of Foye. Edward had also been engaged to be married. Sabine had been in London for the first time. She quickly discovered the aristocracy were a vicious group and the Earl of Crosshaven’s lies and hypocrisy carried more weight with them than the truth did. It’s a twist of fate and a pack of lies that draws Edward to approach Sabine. That’s it. Not going to tell anymore of the convoluted and dangerous path they end up traveling when a chance meeting in a foreign country turns into love.I enjoyed my trip into the Regency. There was the snobbery of the aristocracy, a building sexual tension between Sabine and Edward, and a dangerous escape across a hostile terrain to keep things interesting.INDISCREET reminded me of the Georgette Heyer books I use to read but with a large dose of delicious sensual interaction between Sabina and Edward.Recommend to anyone 18 and plus. | 4 | CLASSIC ROMANCE WITH DANGER AND SENSUOUS HEAT | 1,399,334,400 | 05 6, 2014 |

] | If your thing is contemporary romance this is going to be a great book for you. If you’re not all that fond of that genre you might still want to check SOMETHING ABOUT YOU out. It’s light entertainment that’s packed with the kind of clever wit that will have you chuckling. It’s a quick read for those times you want to be amused but don’t have a lot of time to invest in a book. As a first time reader of a Julie James book I was happy to find her book charming and amusing. Not sure you can really classify this story as a romantic crime/mystery as there is really no mystery involved but there is a logical, satisfying storyline.The characters, both main and sub, come across as real and not cartoonish or fake. Collin and Amy, Cameron’s best friends, seem almost a little to ordinary even with the mild heartbreak Collin is going through and Amy’s bridezilla routine. Assistant US Attorney Cameron Lynde is the heroine and she is a treat, very self-confident, intelligent, with a wicked sense of humor. FBI Agent Jack Pallas is the perfect darkly handsome, brooding hero that doesn't lack his own brand of dry humor. Agent Wilkins, Jack’s partner, is beyond charming and a perfect foil for Jack’s grumpier demeanor.Of course there is a lot for Jack to be grumpy about. Freshly back in Chicago and the first case he catches is a murder that involves an ear-witness (yes, I said ear-witness) to the crime by the one female, in all of Chicago, that he believes almost cost him his career with the FBI, Cameron. Cameron isn't any more thrilled have to work with Jack, than he is about having to work with her. Trying to remember he hates her becomes progressively harder the case wears on and the attraction heats up. It also becomes progressively funnier.Like I said, it’s entertaining in a mostly light-hearted way, even with a murder to solve. I found the storyline concerning the murder predictable but that didn't interfere with my enjoyment.Recommend to anyone 18 and older. There is some pretty hilarious sex goings on in the very beginning of the book and then some delightfully hotter scenes later in the story. | 4 | Witty and Charming | 1,396,310,400 | 04 1, 2014 |

] | Whoa!! Want you to be aware right up front this is a VERY sensually portrayed relationship. But oddly enough it's much more than just that as you really get into the meat of the book (no pun intended ;) ). But you do need to be aware in case you object to reading explicit details of a very imaginative and active sex life between two adults that enjoy some mild BDSM. If the sex is not a turn-off and you continue to delve into the story you're going to find it's also sensitive, funny, heartwarming, as well as heartbreaking. I enjoyed it.Ms. Dane does a wonderful job with the heroine, Raven. Heck, I want to be Raven except for the BDSM parts and the crappy life she had as a child. She is a talented tattoo artist that is independent, tough, smart, brutally honest, bawdy (just love that word) and the kind of friend you want to have your back. On the other side of the coin she is "damaged and jagged" from trying to hide her past from everyone and keeping her emotions on tight lock down. Raven doesn't let to many people close but when she does she makes a wonderful friend.Jonah Warner is a successful lawyer from a privileged background with a large loving family, teenage daughter (plays a minor roll in the story) and one dominate hunky male.The interaction between Jonah and Raven is steamy (oh yeah!), funny, tender.I think all the characters in the book are very believable. Dialogue feels true to the people that populate the book. It's a fast read and worth the time if the sex stuff doesn't bug you up. While I personally believe the book would still have been a good read with a few less sex scenes, would still like to check other books in the Brown Family series. Interesting family and friends to say the least.Would recommend to an adult reading audience IF you don't mind the amount of sex and the sexual dynamics between some of the characters. OK, think I've sufficiently warned the innocent. :) | 4 | Enjoyable read | 1,382,832,000 | 10 27, 2013 |

] | Definitely enjoyed the book. Mrs. Dane does her usual excellent job of breathing life into the people that populate her book. Would recommend that you start with the first novel in the series as I think you would better understand references to the Magister and why there is so much hate and discord between humans and the Others.From page one you are thrown in the middle of a battle between the humans and the Others. Outrageous actions taken by racist bigots whipped up a fury in me. It's easy to get emotionally invested with all the shifters, werewolves, and witches as they go from one disaster to another.Molly, a witch and a public relations specialist, who is outed by a human supremacist group to the public comes across as a real person you keep expecting to see in a news broadcast. From the point of her outing Molly's life turns in a direction she never would have believed possible. Her altered reality includes a unique job and having to work closely with a Hunter witch, Gage. And ladies this witch is HOT!!Mrs. Dane delivers strong women in her novels and Molly is definitely that. She is also charismatic, a shark in her line of work, and an admitted control freak. Gage has a hard time ignoring Molly as she does him. Increasing danger to Molly combined with a burgeoning attraction is a complication Gage has difficulty dealing with. Love Gage! He is such a "guy". You'll totally get what I'm saying when you read the book.I will absolutely be looking for the first two books in the series. There is a large cast of Others in this book and looking forward to reading each of their stories. Understand from others, not the "OTHER'S" just other reviewers :) , that this series ties in with several different series Mrs. Dane has written so will also be on the outlook for those.Recommend you read the books in order but I don't believe you will be disappointed with this or any of the other books. Wish there was something between "I liked it" and "I love it". A "REALLY LIKED IT" would be helpful. Read and enjoy! | 4 | Emotionally Intense | 1,383,264,000 | 11 1, 2013 |

] | Political intrigue, suspense, brutal battles, betrayal, soul searing love and sensual chemistry are all here and more. In this the last book in the Bound by Magick series Mrs. Dane provides an amazing amount of information on the supernaturals that populate her books. While I would definitely recommend you read the previous 3 books in the series you could read this as a stand alone and not be disappointed. It does that good a job with background information. That being said, the characters are all so interesting it makes you want to have a more intimate knowledge of their own personal stories. Although this novel focuses on Helena Jaansen and Faine Leviathan it's also like reading a political blueprint for the fracturing of a country, the United States.The book starts with a community center being firebombed by Human separatists groups. Whether it's PURITY or the other bigoted racial group Humans First the humans involved against the Others wants nothing less than to completely eradicate them. Working with everything from terrorist attacks and members of the Senate the extremist use some dirty tricks that provide an interesting twist. Faine finds Helena "magnificent" from the beginning of the book. He can't resist the warrior she is. His main problem is trying to get Helena to take care of herself or at least let him take care of her. Helena is dedicated to protecting the Others at the expense of her own safety and health.While we are being treated to Helena and Faine's story many of the characters from previous books make appearances. I'm glad Mrs. Dane worked something out for Senator Sato. Hated to see him miss out completely on love. Loved the interaction between Helena and her sister Lark. It was so true to sisters and how they talk about their "men" that just happen to be brothers. Faine and his brother Simon do their own fair share of guy talk about how to handle the sisters. Really hope Mrs. Dane will do future books on the sisters and brothers because those are two couple I can't get enough of.Have to admit while I completely enjoyed the book was a tiny bit disappointed with the ending. But not every book ends the way we personally want it to.Can definitely recommend this book to adult readers 17 and older. Treat yourself to the three previous books in the series also. | 5 | Great Final Book to a Great Series | 1,383,609,600 | 11 5, 2013 |

] | MAGIC BITES didn’t start my obsession with the Kate Daniels Series, A QUESTIONABLE CLIENT has that honor, but it definitely reinforced why I fell in love with the series. This is urban fantasy at its best! Nothing satisfies better when I read than a snarky badass heroine and an arrogant alpha hero. Only problem I had with this book was putting it down. Thank the book gods it’s a fast read. And a double thanks to them that there was another one waiting for me to start as soon as this one was finished.This book is set in a world that is royally messed up. Magic and Tech fluctuate back and forth so all residents basically have to be prepared to live in two totally different realities. As different from each other as fire is to water. I’ve read other alternate/universe, post-apocalyptic books but have to say this is the most unique one I’ve come across in a long time. Within the first few pages I was completely immersed in Kate Daniels world. There is such a richness to the Atlanta built by the authors it pulled me in and made a believer out of me. Explanations as to why Magic and Tech take turns ruling are well thought out and I wasn’t left with a Huh? How the heck did this happen? The variety of supernatural beings that were created when Magic blasted into the tech world are mind blowing. The agencies that were created to protect the populace in this screwed up world can sometimes be as deadly as what the people are being protected against.Kate Daniels would definitely by my choice of protection whether she was working for the Mercenary Guild or with The Order of Knights of Merciful Aid. She’s worked for both and of the two it’s pretty obvious The Order of Knights of Merciful Aid is not a fav of hers. Believe me, once you read their policies on what they consider “merciful aid” you’ll understand why.The different factions that make-up the supernatural side are fascinating. I was presented with vampires as I’ve never seen them before in all the many vampire books I’ve read. Which is cool to have a new concept of standard monsters presented. Nobody in their right mind is going to fall in love with one of these dudes!The shapshifters are a different matter. Now those are some beast worth taking home! Curran as Beast Lord is delish! His overbearing arrogance is just the right fuel to set off explosions whenever he and Kate have to come in contact. Her sarcastic humor makes the book as far as I’m concerned. At the same time there is a vulnerability she tries to keep buried for self-protection with all her snarkiness.Dialogue is never dull. All the characters, whether main or sub are fascinating. The storyline is unique and therefore captivating. All in all, a book I can see myself reading over and over.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older. | 5 | A UNIQUE TAKE IN THE URBAN FANTASY GENRE | 1,400,976,000 | 05 25, 2014 |

] | After reading MAGIC BURNS I’m convinced Kate Daniels and her cohorts are going to go down as a series of books I’ll read over and over again. It’s the kind of series where each book could conceivably be read as a standalone novel. But I’m not sure once a person has read any one of the Kate Daniels books it would even be humanly possible to resist reading every book in the series. I’m totally hooked! If you like paranormal with a definite twist you are going to love this book and by extension the entire series. Shifters, witches, and magical beings drawn from myths and legends make for a unique storyline.Kate tells each story in first person which gives us access to the most amazingly hilarious thoughts and observations! Since she has very little filter between mouth and brain what she says is also hysterical. But it’s not all laughs and giggles in Kate’s life. As a matter of fact there should be very little she would find funny but she is a master of masking her feelings with sarcasm and snarky remarks. She prefers to call her snark “clever observations”. She is tough, raised to be a loner, and trained to be a killer. Luckily she has people, or should I say shifters, determined to be in her life. And I’d have to say she is miles pass lucky to have Curran, you may call him Beast Lord, showing interest of a personal nature in her. Very personal!In MAGIC BURNS Kate undertakes a job for The Pack that sounds pretty simple. Wrong! In Kate’s world nothing is ever simple. What begins as a quest for some missing maps leads her into a deeper involvement with Curran, finding a new BFF (Andrea), and taking on a lifelong commitment that would have both her adopted father and her guardian turning over in their graves. Toss in a magic flare, an ancient evil god that wants to rule the earth and you might get an idea of Kate’s daily life challenges.Fascinating characters litter this story. Dialogue so real it’s like eavesdropping in on conversations. Graphic descriptions of fights realistic enough to make you check yourself for any blood that may have sprayed your way. Laugh out loud highs and eye watering lows. I’m not sure anymore emotional attachment could be contained in any one book.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older. | 5 | A MUST READ FOR THIS SERIES! | 1,401,408,000 | 05 30, 2014 |

] | This third book in the series is Fantastic! Each successive book somehow manages to be better than the last. Where some series start to lose the originality after the first novel or two, it’s definitely not the case with Kate Daniels’ stories.MAGIC STRIKES starts on a high note (pun intended). Kate is in the middle of rescuing a banshee. That’s the beauty of these books. I never know what adventure Kate will be either in the middle of or plunged into within the first two or three pages of the story.A world that fluctuates between magic and technology is never dull. It’s filled to the brim with situations that careen from the ridiculous to sure death. Kate, Curran and their close associates are thankfully well equipped to live in such a Mad Hatter party of a world. Kate has trained all her life to be a killer. Curran, as Beast Lord, has to be the baddest of the bad in order to stay the leader of over fifteen hundred shifters. Stands to reason if you’re going to hang with these two you better be tough as a pine knot or you won’t live long.If you’ve not been following the Kate Daniels Series what comes next won’t really be a spoiler but you may be left wondering who the characters are I’ll be talking about.Jim pulls Kate into a murderous case that threatens her intensifying relationship with Curran. It also is going to expose a secret she’s been taught to hide all her life to the worst person possible. What Kate ends up doing to save all the people she has come to care for goes against everything she has ever been taught about protecting herself above all others.I enjoyed having Saiman play a major role in this story. He is so amoral while still managing to play for the good guys. I just have to like him. Some of my other favorites from past books also are featured. Such as Dr. Doolittle, Derek, Andrea, Raphael and a new addition of a weretiger named Dali. In a side note, I thoroughly enjoyed Raphael’s pursuit of Andrea in this story. Andrea is very reluctant to believe he is serious. She is of the opinion he thinks of her more as TWT-IHFB. Promise you’re going to laugh when you find out what TWT-IHFB translate to.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older. You really should do yourself a favor and read this series. | 5 | AMAZING THIRD BOOK IN THE KATE DANIELS SERIES | 1,401,408,000 | 05 30, 2014 |

] | I’m beginning to wonder how many different ways I can convey how much I enjoy all of the books in the Kate Daniels series. This latest book I’ve been consumed with, MAGIC BLEEDS, has to be my favorite so far. Noticed I said “so far”. Each new book seems better than the last. Which is nothing but good news for me and readers like me that love paranormal stories.MAGIC BLEEDS continues in the tradition of being unique when it comes to the paranormal genre. Sure, there are the usual shifters, vampires, and magic users, but I’ve never seen them presented in such a way before. The explanations of how they were created and how they form their societies are rich in details. Love it!Eight weeks have passed since the ending of MAGIC STRIKES. I think I was as excited about Curran and Kate’s date as she was. Well paint us both shocked. Prologue and first chapter totally blew me away. Did not go as I expected, at all. Don’t you just love it when there’s a surprise right off the get-go? I Do!Intense action is always a plus in any story. The level of intensity in MAGIC BLEEDS hits Def-Con 1 status thanks to the arrival of one of Kate’s relatives. Kate must have the most dysfunctional family since the beginning of time. If it has to be so horrific when she does encounter a family member it’s nice she can at least learn a valuable lesson that’s sure to aid her surviving in the future. Sure made me feel better about my family reunions.There were three chapters, sixteen thru eighteen, in the book that are particular favorites of mine. They contain the best interaction between Kate, Curran, and Saiman of all the books. All I’m going to say is Curran is the kind of beast every woman should be so lucky to have. Oh, keep a fan handy. You may need it.Use any effusive word you can think of and it will apply to this novel. Goes straight to my favorites shelf.HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone 18 and older. | 5 | FAMILY MAY BE THE DEATH OF KATE | 1,401,494,400 | 05 31, 2014 |

] | This is a must read series! Yes it's about vampires but what a different take on them. JR Ward builds and entire society with this series that is so rich in detail you can almost believe it exist. So well written it's like reading a history book on vampires and the Black Dagger Brotherhood in particular.Wrath's story is a complete look at his life. Why he does the things he does. Why he lives the way he lives. Why he feels the way he feels is all explained with the telling of his history.Beth's story is as interesting and compelling as Wrath's. Her life could be the life of many a woman in the city trying to make a career for herself in a man's world. She feels dissatisfied but doesn't understand what is happening to her. She is tossed in to a new world with her collision with Wrath.A marvelous start to a series that introduces you to the members in the BDB which will each have a story of their own to reveal in the books that follow. Can't encourage everyone enough to read this series. Also recommend that the series is read in order as it will make much more sense that way. | 5 | Fall in love with the Black Dagger Brotherhood | 1,380,153,600 | 09 26, 2013 |

] | Having read the entire series of the Black Dagger Brotherhood up to date and eagerly awaiting "The King" have to say this is my favorite. All of the books are wonderful but Rhage and Mary's story is Amazing! You'll laugh, you'll cry. Rhage is so endearing, he'll break your heart with his tenderness. His beauty goes all the way to his soul. He carries a curse that through out the book he battles with and it almost costs him his love.Mary is an average woman that most beautiful men wouldn't take a second look at. The fact that Rhage sees more in her just makes the man that much more attractive. Mary's so real you can picture her as being someone you could be friends with. She has empathy for others while she is struggling with serious issues of her own.If you've not read any of the BDB I would recommend you start at the beginning of the series. Since this is the second book in the series you won't have to wait long to snuggle up with Rhage and Mary. A MUST READ!! | 5 | Rhage stole my heart | 1,380,153,600 | 09 26, 2013 |

] | As all of BDB fans were I was impatiently waiting for the day THE KING was released. There had been hints that this was going to be a Wrath and Beth story, which it is, but Ward’s books are never solely about one thing. At least these later books in the series have several side plots going on at the same time as we have the main storyline. Yes, I did enjoy THE KING but really miss the way the earlier books were styled, not sure that’s the right word for what I mean.In the first several books of BDB the tales were focused on the core members of the Brothers. Still had the side plots going on but they were more directly related to the main storyline. It’s been enjoyable having new characters introduced but we’ve lost that personal connection with the original members. Hard for me to believe there aren’t still stories to be told about Tohr, Rhage, Vishous, Z, Phury, and Butch. At the least Rhage and Mary have the same dilemma as Beth and Wrath have over the baby issue. Mary stated she wanted children and Rhage made her a promise that she would have children in Book Two, Lover Eternal. What ever happened to that? It was even mentioned in a later book that they were having problems over Mary wanting a baby. Phury is another one we’ve been left hanging on a few issues, namely his troupe of Chosen. Guess what I’m trying to say, please don’t lose the males we fell in love with for the sake of adding new characters. As talented as Ms. Ward is I know she could still involve the beloved core of the BDB in a more meaningful way in this series. Can’t help but think all these side plots could be spin-off books. That way the main focus can be retained on the Brothers and immediate family members. We’ll still read the spin-offs but we won’t be distracted by their story when what we really want is what is going on in the lives of BDB. OK, just had to get that off my chest.Now I’ll get back to my review of The King.While we do have some focus on Wrath and Beth and the conflict with Beth wanting a child, we’re simultaneously following the story of Wrath’s parents. Fascinating! Loved the contrast between what Wrath believes about how his parents’ marriage was, or what went on with his father and the glymera compared to what truly went on. Very true to how most children view the lives of their parents. But this book is not just about the baby conflict.Here is where the book starts being a little busy. We have Trez and Selena’s beginnings. I enjoyed learning more about the world and culture of Shadows, which both Trez and iAm are. Once again Ms. Ward has created a society that is different from both vampires and humans. She is a true world builder when it comes to new species. Looking forward to more on them in, say, a spin-off series. Then Assail and Sola have a major incident that occurs. Have to say I love the situation with Assail’s two murderous cousins and Sola’s grandmother. Assail and Sola looks like it’s going to be an ongoing storyline that would be great to follow in a spin-off book. I’m beating a dead horse here aren’t I? As a fifth plot that we have to keep up with is the mess that is Xcor and Layla. As this is more directly related to the main Brothers I’ll control myself and say they don’t need their own separate book. But I think you are starting to get the idea of how much is covered in THE KING.As in all the previous books the dialogue is entertaining. The characters each manage to have their own personalities and not seem like a cookie cutter production line. Sure some of the stories are similar but that’s to be expected. It’s the same in real life. There are no major complaints to the book. I was drawn in as in previous stories. There was just a little bit of a rushed feel to some of the different plots that were going on. But when you have five different storylines in the same book that’s to be expected, at least it felt that way to me. But as with all reviews, this is just one person’s opinion.I do RECOMMEND that if you’ve been following the series you really need to read THE KING. This book is for 18 and older due to adult content. | 4 | TO MANY PLOTS - PLEASE START TURNING THEM IN TO SPIN-OFFS AND DECLUTTER | 1,396,742,400 | 04 6, 2014 |

] | I've just completed "Thirteen" and my mind is still reeling from the sheer volume of plots, twists, danger, gore, action, and love interest. What a marvelous finale to the Otherworld Series! If this is the first book you read of the series it should (as it has me) suck you in and make it impossible to not gather the rest of the books and read them.This novel is centered around Savannah and her fight against the "Supernatural Liberation Movement". Her battle with SLAM, as she likes to call it, involves Adam and other characters from previous books such as Jaime, Lucas, Paige, Eve, Kristof and so many others is like a huge family reunion.Savannah and crew will battle a plethora of supernaturals such as demons, demi-demons, werewolves, necromancers, witches and a lethal host of others in a race to save the world as ordinary humans understand it. Gore and blood flies and the body count rises. A Delicious adventure!!!Would recommend this book to anyone that loves to read a well written paranormal book. | 5 | A fitting finale to The Otherworld Series | 1,380,326,400 | 09 28, 2013 |

Her unusual and frightening encounter with a persistent large strange male at the bar leads to her rescue by Caden the owner of the bar. From this point on her life as she knew it is changed forever.Wonderful dialog between the characters. The story flows with such an ease that you find yourself several hours into the book and wanting to finish it in one setting.One of the books at the top of my list that I recommend to everyone that enjoys the paranormal. Heck, even if you don't enjoy the paranormal you will love this book. | 5 | Love this book! | 1,380,326,400 | 09 28, 2013 |

] | Loved this book!! With it's satirical humor and just plain laugh out loud situations it is the kind of read I love. But it is definitely not a comedy. The mystery Jo walks into is a different take on the Paranormal. Very will written it will hold your interest and make you want to read through the book in one setting. This first book is a wonderful start to the series. To be honest all of Donna Augustine books have been well worth the time spent reading them. | 5 | In Love with the Keepers series | 1,380,153,600 | 09 26, 2013 |

] | Still loving The Alchemy Series! This second book in the series continues on where the first book, THE KEEPERS, left off. You are definitely going to want to read this series in order, and you are definitely going to want to read this series if you are into urban-fantasy. As with the first book in the series I had a hard time walking away from the story once I had begun reading. I would promise myself just one more page, but the pages just kept turning.Jo is turning out to be one of the strongest Alchemists ever known. She is still being more or less controlled by Cormac; more than she wants to be and less than Cormac is happy about. Jo’s hot and cold attraction toward Cormac is about to drive him crazy. Of course if the hottest guy you had ever seen had ordered your death I suppose it would cause a girl to have second thoughts as to whether she wanted to get tangled up with the man. To my way of thinking though, Cormac redeems himself time and time again throughout this story with his obvious concern for Jo and the way he is always protecting her. Unfortunately both Jo and Cormac have a lot larger issues than trying to figure out the sensual pull between them. Like trying to figure out who and, more importantly what, Senator Core is. They know that the senator is involved with the werewolves in opening other wormholes, but why would he care about helping the werewolves since he isn’t one? When Jo and Cormac finally figure out the why of what Core is doing it may be too late for civilization.Ms. Augustine’s writing reminds me a little of Karen Marie Moning. She has the same great timing when it comes to sprinkling in the humor and the sarcastic one-liners are priceless. Both main and sub-characters are well written. Dialogue is killer and has an easy flow between characters. There were a few more typos in this book than the first, but obviously they didn’t bother me too much since I still loved the story.Highly RECOMMEND to anyone 17 and older. | 5 | Well Worth Reading! | 1,390,262,400 | 01 21, 2014 |

] | Very helpful! Having been out of school several years this is the type of help I need to freshen up my grammar skills. The formatting of the book makes it extremely easy to find exactly what I'm looking for. Appreciate how the Contents is not only broke down by Chapter but each Chapter is also divided by the different components found therein, with page numbers. Having the Appendixes with Word Usage and Grammar Glossary is a nice bonus. And of course any good reference book needs a comprehensive Index, which this one has. This will be my go to book when a question arises.Don't expect to find practice sentences, but there are examples to follow.Would recommend to anyone that wants a quick reference guide. | 4 | A VERY GOOD REFERENCE GUIDE | 1,385,164,800 | 11 23, 2013 |

] | I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest reviewPrepare yourself to be immersed into a new world that is both vaguely familiar and wildly different at the same time. Tara Maya has managed to create an entire new earth, Faearth, populated with humans, of a sort, and the largest variety of fae and supernatural beings that I've encountered in any YA book. The development of the society and culture in which the humans live is masterful and helps in giving a clue as to the mindset of the characters throughout the tale. Only complaint I could muster is that I wish Tara had included a Glossary to help with all the strange new words in this imaginary world.While the hero, Kavio, and the heroine, Dindi, are the main focus of the story, they are joined by so many sub-characters, felt like I needed a playbook with a line-up so I could keep up with them. Tara has my utmost admiration to have created such a diverse cast of players. What is even more amazing is that none of them seem superfluous. Each sub-character has a specific purpose, even if it's not apparent at the time you are first introduced to them in the book. Since there is a total of 12 books in the series I'm going to go out on limb here and guess that some of them are going to play a much larger role in future novels.I'm torn in my feelings about Dindi. She appears to be a typical young girl, playing with kittens, dancing with the faeries (OK, dancing with the faeries, not so typical on our earth), and hiding from her aunt because she hasn't completed her chores. Dindi has a burning desire to become a Tavaedi (a Tavaedi is a powerful warrior-dancer). Dindi is so fixated on becoming a Tavaedi she constantly loses focus on everything but practicing her dancing, which causes one bumbling mistake after another. Basically, Dindi makes herself look like the village idiot and the brunt of constant teasing. Here is the part that bothers me; early on we catch glimpses of the potential Dindi has. She can see and interact with the fae, which isn't all that common, she has visions, and she has dance moves none of the other soon to be Initiates can begin to emulate. Why doesn't she tell anyone in her family these things and why doesn't anyone else notice there is something special about her? All right, it's probably the culture she was raised in, but I'm alternately mad at everyone for their treatment of Dindi and frustrated with Dindi for not having a more forceful personality. The point is, I HAVE FEELINGS. Not all books suck us in to the point where we are emotionally invested with the characters of the book.Kavio is a favorite of mine. He's the only son of the leader of the Rainbow Labyrinth. Kavio is also "the most powerful warrior-dancer in Faearth". Knowing that, it's easy to understand why he is targeted by a deceitful, power-hungry aunt and her son. A son she hopes to maneuver into becoming the next leader of the tribe. Aunt Nasty (Kavio's name for her), manages to have Kavio exiled from the tribe. When Kavio leaves he doesn't slink away in shame. Hey, he doesn't have anything to be ashamed of, so it's nice to see he has a strong personality. Kavio has the personal determination to face his exile with courage and honor. It's because of his exile that he is able to accomplish some very heroic deeds and learn some deeper truths.Kavio and Dindi do have an encounter but it's apparent that the true story of the two of them as a team will be more fully developed in the later books. There is a delicious niggling of foreboding that an old curse will have consequences that will affect all of Faearth. Truly did enjoy THE UNFINISHED SONG - BOOK 1: INITIATE. Be aware it does end on a major cliffhanger. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the books in the series.Definitely would recommend to anyone 16+. | 4 | Well Worth Reading! | 1,386,288,000 | 12 6, 2013 |

] | I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.It was a very happy day when I received this book to review. YA Science Fiction has been so far off my radar the last couple years I’d almost forgotten it existed. SONG AND SIGNAL was a wonderful reminder of just how entertaining a well written one can be. I’ve got a niggling suspicion Mr. Patterson is an alien that’s written about his life in the outer limits of the universe, then disguised it as a novel. Frankly, some of the technical aspects of the story lost me. Didn’t stop me from enjoying, but it did have me wishing for a computer geek to translate for me at times. Have no idea what an ARO is, but man, do I ever want one!When I’m as excited about a book as I am this one, it’s difficult to control my impulse to revel too much. Now, what fun is it, to have someone blab about one of the crazy twists that have you wondering, what the heck just happened?!? Exactly! No fun at all. So, going to try and contain my enthusiasm, give you my basic thoughts on SONG AND SIGNAL, and keep the surprises in the book for you to discover for yourself.Most of the tale is going to be from our seventeen year-old hero, Zakari Sharp’s perspective. There will also be a good chunk of the story told from Jeremiah Flint’s view point. Flint is a villain that manages to grab my sympathy and has me screaming…in my head, not crazy enough, yet, to yell out loud…to please not go any farther to the dark side. What a tragic antihero Flint seems to be. Elizabet Sato, Zak’s friend, shares her thoughts now and then, as well as the true demon of the book, Dominic Ventus. With a host of sub-characters enriching the story, Mr. Patterson has produced a novel that captured my attention from the first chapter read to the last page turned.As the story begins Zak’s been caught stealing from wireheads and is in danger of losing one of his fingers as a lesson. Managing to activate his ARO, he contacts his best friend, Liz, and pleads with her to come to his rescue. Now this seems to be the story of Zac’s life; do something stupid or dangerous, then expect Liz to save him, which she always does. Zac’s not helpless by a long shot. He’s scary smart, just not much use when it comes to physical action. Liz wants to be a soldier and that’s the way she lives life. Problem is her dad has plans for her that doesn’t include a lowlife like Zak. After this latest debacle by Zac, Liz is ready to agree with her father and not see Zak anymore. After all, Liz comes from a rich family. Zac comes from a life of hard knocks. Liz has a future and a plan. Zak dreams of adventure without any plans. Adventure does come barreling into Zak’s life but not in any way he ever imagined. A dangerous quest is thrust upon him by a father that no one has seen in years. Once again Liz is going to be pulled into another of Zak’s risky exploits, but this one is going to change both their lives in ways that can’t even be imagined. What starts out as an insane search for a missing father and a stolen battleship turns into nothing less than saving the universe.One of my favorite quotes from the book comes from Zak, when he realizes choices aren’t always between doing the right thing or doing the wrong thing; “Maybe in the real world, you do what you can and deal with what comes.”All I can add is, do yourself a favor and read SONG AND SIGNAL. Adventure, a mind-blowing host of aliens, deadly confrontations, lies, and betrayal, I’m not sure what else could have been squeezed into the book. Sincerely hope there’s a second book in the works. While there’s no major cliff hanger at the end of the book, there are still several questions that need to be answered. The most important one for me being, what’s next for Zak?Highly RECOMMEND to anyone 15 and older. Beware there are depictions of graphic violence. | 5 | SUPER YA SCI-FI | 1,395,100,800 | 03 18, 2014 |

] | I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.A YA book that is definitely worth reading whether you are into Native American tales or not. Time for complete honesty here; I’m not really a big fan of Native American stories. But as you can probably tell from my opening sentence this is one story I was given to read and review that I’m so happy to have received. It’s the perfect example of how a well written book will captivate your interest even if you are doubtful going in. Krista fills the book with such rich details of the setting, morals, and customs of the characters involved you get the feeling she must be an authority on the culture of the Indians before the white man showed up and destroyed their way of living. If she’s not an authority then she has certainly done an amazing job of fooling me into believing she is an expert. It was nice to read a book that felt authentic to the era and people being written about.Don’t go into this thinking it’s going to be all hearts and flowers about a cutesy tribe living an idyllic life in the forest. The tale starts with a murder that splits not only a tribe but a family. The bloodshed continues to flow decades later.The herioen of the story is a 15 year old female, Anaii, with a gift from the gods. She has the ability to talk to the wind. Then we are presented with two heroes Elan and Jayttin. Anaii and Elan are from the same tribe, Chipoke, and have been inseparable friends since childhood. Jayttin is from their enemies’ tribe, the Zennite, with whom she feels an instant attraction for from their first accidental meeting. Have to say I found Anaii a tad annoying. She comes off as more than a little spoiled and I’m not really fond of the way she strings Elan and Jayttin along. But hey, she’s a teenager with huge responsibilities in the tribe and most would have trouble trying to pick between two gorgeous male specimens like Elan and Jayttin.Elan, on the other hand, is anything but annoying. He is definitely a favorite of mine! His devotion to Anaii is amazing considering some of the circumstances that come up. The guy is a saint if you ask me. There is nothing really objectionable to Jayttin and in some ways he also shines more than Anaii does for me, but Elan just has so much more going for him. Krista does a great job of creating characters, whether they are major players or sub-characters, which engage my interest.Romance, intrigue, danger, and a wealthy dose of teen angst create a novel that is difficult to put down. Found it a fast read for it being a fairly long book. How refreshing to have a book that doesn’t end on a major cliffhanger. This could be read as a stand-alone novel as there is a satisfying ending to the book, but it’s great to know there is a planned second book to Anaii’s story.Highly recommend THE WIND WHISPERER and believe it would be suitable for anyone 14 and older. | 4 | Really liked it!
