Feasted On: Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 2

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 465 KB | Release Date: April 2007 | Publisher: Roc

"Claimed by Shadow" [Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 2] by Karen Chance

My Book Summary : Cassandra (Cassie) has just became the Pythia, however not many want her to have that title and are doing anything they can to kill her. In addition, Cassie is having a little problem with her powers controlling her instead of her being the one in control of them. The problem with that is there is only one way to make sure her powers work but she has a "love" spell, called a geis, on her that counter acts what she needs to do to seal her powers. However, thinking she can avoid all of accepting her powers while looking for someone to take her place instead. Cassie plans to hunt down the vampire who killed her parents and also see if she can take down the girl who was supposed to receive Cassie's new powers originally before this girl decides to get creative and take matters into her own hands.

It's a lot of pressure for someone who doesn't want her new powers in the first place. Will she be able to succeed in finding them and maybe accepting what she's become along the way?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, I'm finding that this series is addicting as soon as I put one book down I had to read the next one, especially with all of the cliffhangers that end the books. This one I liked because you got to see the growth between Cassie and her new friends along with finding out how she can fit into a world (the human and supernatural world) after being raised in the vampire community. It's a HIGHLY intriguing book.

My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1

Book Teaser(s) :

"If the Circle knows the gargoyles killed their men, why are they blaming me?"
"I don't know." Billy looked puzzled. "I saw the bodies and they have claw and teeth marks all over 'em. I guess it gives the Circle an excuse to brand you a dangerous lunatic."
"Shit."
"Yeah, that about sums it up. So like I said, I'm whacked. I hate to be a pain---"
"Since when?"
"Very funny, Cass. I spend half the day gettin' top-quality info for you and---" ~ within Chapter 6

Feasted On: Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 3

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 365 KB | Release Date: April 2008 | Publisher: Roc

"Embrace the Night" [Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 3] by Karen Chance

My Book Summary : Even though Cassandra (Cassie) has now accepted her destiny as the Pythia, she still has those who plan on killing her since they don't believe she is a good fit (even though they know nothing about her), while others just want her dead for their own reasons. However, while fighting for her life, right now her main goal is to brake the geis that is on her and a vampire master named Mircea before they either stop fighting it and complete the spell making one of the a "love" slave of the other one or they stay apart until one of them dies because the spell making them going insane. The only way to save both Mircea and her life is to find this Codex Merlini, an ancient text of spells that is said to have the counter curse in it. However, the Codex has been lost years ago so she will have to travel into the past in search of it. In addition, as she searches she comes to realize that even though it may help her to find that spell there is more to the Codex then she knows and everyone is willing to take it from her no matter what the price.

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! So far this is my favorite book out of the series, especially since it grows Pritkin, Mircea, and Cassie's characters ... along with growing Cassie's relationships with both men!!

I wish I could say more but then I'd probably give away good things about the book. READ IT!

Book Teaser(s) :

"You can think at MAGIC, where it's safe."
"You know," I said savagely, "considering how often I hear that word, it's amazing how frequently I end up almost dead!"
"That will not happen tonight," he said firmly, and took my hand. I stared at him in horror, waiting for the electric sizzle that would tell me I'd just managed to kill us both. But other than the faint tingle the geis always gave off, there was nothing.
Nothing except a sweet, cloying odor, like flowers on the verge of rot. Where had I smelled that before? ~ within Chapter 11

Feasted On: Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 4

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 555 KB | Release Date: April 2009 | Publisher: Onyx

"Curse the Dawn" [Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 4] by Karen Chance

My Book Summary : Now that the geis is broken Cassie has grown closer to Mircea, the master vampire who she shared the geis with, but now she isn't fully sure of her feelings for him -- are they a side effect of the "love" spell or are they her true feelings. Of course even though the spell has broken between them Cassie was claimed by him, and he is doing everything he can to protect her, even if that means to chain her to things -- which tends to get in the way of her position as the Pythia.

However, even though she has the support of the vampire Senate for her role, she is still the main target by those who are supposed to support her. The Circle isn't looking at the big picture. They just see someone (meaning Cassie) as an unfit person to hold the title and plan to kill her at all costs, while they don't understand that if they kill her it'll have a negative effect on what they are meant to do -- which is protect the world from a force that they have kept away for hundreds of years.

And even though Mircea and others tries to protect Cassie from anything they can, not even a master vampire or those trying to help can stop an angry god from getting to her, or can they?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! This one was a bit harder to imagine then the others, for me at least, mostly because of the happenings in the "ley lines." I just couldn't create what they would look like, I suppose. But I loved the plot! I wonder how the author plans write the next one about since this one is a mystery right up until the very end! I'm also curious as to whom Cassie will finally choose Mircea or Pritkin?? Plus ... whom is that mystery girl in the photo album Cassie saw? And whoever she might be I hope the knowledge won't hurt her when she finds out.

TEASER #1

"Yes?"
One of the blank-faced masters was there, radiating disapproval. "The Consul wanted to be sure you received her message," he rumbled.
"Tell her I will be with her momentarily," Mircea snapped, and slammed the door in his face.
"Marco says you can't do that to the older masters," I informed him as he dried off with abrupt, angry motions.
"You shouldn't take Marco's advice too much to heart. He is one of those he spoke to you about--one who has reached the farthest limit of his power. He is having, I think, some trouble accepting that."
"It still wouldn't hurt to be polite." ~ within Chapter 14

"Touch the Dark" [Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 1] by Karen Chance

My Book Summary : Cassandra (Cassie) has been on the run for a few years and has thought she was doing well, until she finds a warning on her office computer screen saying that she will die that night, as she has the vampire who raised her (also he's the one that she betrayed last) after her as he plans to kill her. Once she sees the warning, she plans to make a run for it, but she has to take a detour to the club she works part-time at because her roommate works there, and she feels a responsibility to warn him not to stay at their place for a while and to inform him that she's leaving town. But soon her world is in for a BIG twist when she finds out that her roommate has been keeping secrets from her, she finds she isn't who she thought she was, and more "people" are out to get her then she originally expected. What's a girl to do?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! This story isn't like anything I expected ... it's set in a world not that much different then some of the other books/series' that I've read before, however her abilities are completely different and constantly changing (it seems).

The only thing I had an issue with for this book was that because of all of the background history, her time travel, etc. it is a slow moving book. However, if you can get past that then I think you'll enjoy this book as much as I did!!

Book Teaser(s) :

Jimmy licked his muzzle with a long, pale tongue, and his little rat ears twitched. "You'd say anything to get her back, then kill me or let them do it. Besides, if I don't take her to Tony, I'm dead anyway."
I sneered. "Since when do weres take orders from vamps? I can't believe you toadied to him all these years!"
Jimmy squealed; I guess I hit a nerve. "There's a new order coming, vampire, and lotta things are about to change. You may be taking orders from us soon!"
I backpedaled. I wanted to hit his pride, not goad him into doing something stupid. ~ within Chapter 7

Feasted On: Crescent City Fae Series, Book 1

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 318; Kindle Edition - File Size: 995 KB | Expected Release Date: March 8, 2013 | Publisher: Bayou Moon Publishing | Obtained: NetGalley

"Influential Magic" [Crescent City Fae Series, Book 1] by Deanna Chase

My Book Summary : Four years ago, after Beau, Willow's twin brother, died she joined the Void as a part-time vampire hunter with hopes of finding out why and how he was killed. Now her life is a mixture of tracking down the bad guys and baking delicious magically yummy treats at her bakery The Fated Cupcake.

However, her life is about to get a drastic change when her ex-boyfriend and recently turned vampire Davidson (David) comes back into her life with plans of protecting her whether or not she wants it. Conspiracy runs rampant in her life as soon as David gets back into hers, and now she doesn't know whom to trust. Maybe with her best friend and long-time crush, Talisen, by her side she might be able to muddle through the murky waters that have become her life and job... if only she can keep her heart/mind straight about what she truly wants during the process...

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, one kind hearted faery deals with a conspiracy against her while trying to protect those she cares about most. This novel reminded me of an intriguing mixture of "Sunshine" & the Cassandra Palmer Series. It is full trickery, excitement, a faery that can't decide which guy she loves more, a shape-shifting dog who can't control his urges, and friends that would seem to do anything for each other.

Plus, it didn't hurt that I liked both of Willow's guys, David and Talisen. In some ways, I wish she could end up with both but I know that's not possible. Talisen is her childhood crush, her brother's best friend, and an honorary family member. Also, they have such a sweet relationship and great banter. While David and her were together for over a year and it's hard to just give up on the love that they share, especially since he was the one who broke up with her. It will be interesting to see where she'll end up in her relationships as this series progresses.

I recommend this novel to anyone who likes suspenseful action-packed sorta romances.

Book Teaser(s) :

Talisen searched my eyes, his gaze serious and intense. What was he looking for? "You can trust me with anything. You know that, right?"
Ah. He'd been searching for the link. Our common thread of trust. "Of course I do." I took his hand and squeezed. "Sometimes I think you're the only one."
He raised an eyebrow. "Not Phoebs?"
"Oh sure. But it's harder. She has strong opinions on everything."
He laughed, and the sound helped ease some of my tension. ~ within Chapter 13

Another crash rumbled upstairs. We all glanced at the ceiling. Jesus. Good think David came from money, because anything he broke, he was replacing. With an upgrade. ~ within Chapter 22
