"Bloodfever" [Fever Series, Book 2] by Karen Marie Moning -- In this second novel, Mac is still racking up the number of people who are out to get her or who would love to blame her for any kind of wrongdoing. After recovering from her first fight with Mallacé, Mac has to deal with a vengeful woman, a seductive Fae prince, two curious cops, a merciless brother-of-a-mobster, a distraught father, and more all while still looking for the Sinsar Dubh (a million-year-old book that has the power to control what happens in both the Fae and human worlds). However, Mac isn’t as sweet as she originally was and has learned more about herself to stand up to those who’re out against her, along with possibly seeing whom she can trust. The only problem is everyone keeps changing out of the roles she wants to appointed them and it may be hard to keep up with whom is on what side of the good-versus-bad line, especially when everything isn’t always black and white.

5 out of 5 stars!! Sooo much better then the first book! Mac has developed into a great character! Plus ... my biggest issue with the first novel was all of the foreshadowing that made pauses throughout it, which is completely solved in this second novel. I mean there is foreshadowing still but the story keeps flowing around it, which I tremendously enjoyed! =0)

Listen, red light, yellow light, green light, go, Crazy little woman in a one man show

Pages: 247 | Release Date: May 15, 2007

"Graffiti Girl" by Kelly Parra ~~ Angel is an artist or at least that is her big dream in life. But when the results of a school competition turn out that she's not on the winning committee, she gets mad and feels hurt .... not thinking her style is good enough. Then Migel -- leader of a graffiti crew called Reyes Del Norte -- shows her his world of art, turf wars, and crew life. She just can't leave behind who she used to be though, and now she's torn between two worlds and two guys. With both worlds and guys being so different she'll have to decide what path will be the one for her ... and just possibly find herself in the process.

2.5 out of 5 stars. It's a teen romp that has bold characters but falls a little flat during the plot (at least for me). So slow-paced that I had to force myself to finish the book. Good ending but it could have been better.

"The Reluctant Heiress" [also known as Magic Flutes] by Eva Ibbotson -- Being an heiress in 1920s Austria, you are expected to live a certain way. For Tessa, Pfaffenstein Castle's young heiress, that means not being a junior wardrobe mistress at the International Opera Company in Vienna. However, money is tight for Tessa and her aunts, so when they decide to put their castle up for sale that is exactly what she becomes, while trying to maintain her anonymity and loving every minute of it.

Guy is a self-made businessman, in hopes of buying a countryside castle to win the heart of a woman he has been in love with since he was a teenager. Once in Austria, he commissions Tessa’s company to stage a production at Pfaffenstein (the castle he’s planning on purchasing) as part of a lavish ball that he’ll host, while being unaware that the current mistress of Pfaffenstein works for the company.

During the rehearsals, Tessa and Guy meet and share their love for music and art – the attraction between them is undeniable. However, Guy stays faithful to his snobby fiancée and Tessa deals with marriage proposals from a local prince. By the time the ball arrives, the truth will come out … and the question is will their relationship as friends be able to with stand the truth and if so will it turn into something more?

4 out of 5 stars! A sweet fairytale for young and old.

"My Sunshine" [Coulter Family series, Book 6] by Catherine Anderson -- Five years ago, Laura was in a swimming accident where she hit her head on a rock and it changed her life completely. Now, she has come to terms with her disability (aphasia) but would still love to get some type of a normal life back. She interviews for a kennel keeper position at a local veterinarian clinic, and gets the job, now she just has to be sure to keep her eyes on the animals and not her hot new boss Isaiah. Even though Isaiah wants to remain a bachelor, he can't help but liking Laura a little bit more each time he sees her. The only problem is someone at the clinic is out to get Laura, to get her fired or worse. Will they find out who is sabotaging Laura? Will Isaiah be able to prove to Laura that she's the only one who can brighten up his days?

3 out of 5 stars. Well written, even if I haven't read the rest of the series I still understood the plot perfectly. What Laura and Isaiah have is a sweet romance, which is a good change-of-pace to read.
