Sookie and Bill ... will they make it?

Over the past three days I have started and finished reading "Dead Until Dark" and "Living Dead in Dallas" which are by Charlaine Harris from her Sookie Stackhouse series. For both books I think I'll give them 4 out of 5 stars.

Both books talk about Sookie's life and how she copes with her power. In "Dead Until Dark" Sookie meets Bill a vampire, who is the first one she has ever meet and decides to start living "mainstream" by moving back into the town he use to be from (when he human). Some situations take place that throw these two together and they see if they're able to make it work.

In "Living Dead in Dallas", Sookie get requested to go to Dallas with Bill, by Bill's boss, to help some vampires there. Throughout this whole book Sookie's wondering/finding out that that she knows she loves Bill but she's not sure if she's in love with him. And like always (at least from what I've seen in these first two books) Sookie tries to save/help everyone she can, no matter what the risk is to herself.

Basically I really liked both books and I can understand why everyone (like my best friend) is highly addicted to this series. Especially since I cannot wait to start on the next ones to see what happen. However, they are a little too fast paced for me. I mean they are good books ... but I think I'm just used to reading more detail in my books ... so that's why I really liked them but I didn't love them. *shrug* But I would still recommend the series to everyone else who has yet to read them. =0)

Made the Grade: The Three Sisters Inn Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 643 KB | Release Date: April 1, 2013 | Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense

"Hide in Plain Sight" [The Three Sisters Inn Series, Book 1] by Marta Perry

My Book Summary : Financial expert Andrea is rushing home to Churchville, PA (also known as Amish Country), to help her family and their inn they are trying to start up. She has been against the idea of the inn from the beginning, but with her younger sisters recent hit-and-run accident she has to help out, and being the oldest sister that means she needs to take charge.

However, once she gets there she finds her grandmother loves having her there, wants her to help with the inn as much as she can, but doesn't want Andrea to help with their financial struggles. In addition, she finds out that some people in the community really don't want the inn to be operational and might try to have it so the inn never opens at all costs.

To top it all off Andrea meets Cal, her grandmother's tenant, who is living and works in the renovated barn behind the inn and he's keeping his own secrets....

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars! I wasn't expecting to like this book when I started reading it but I was pleasantly surprised! The plot was very well written. Good characters.

Book Teaser :
"There's someone, a man, out on the east side of the house."
"Andrea?" His voice sharpened. "Are you sure?"
"The lightening makes it as bright as day. He's there, watching the house. We didn't put lights---"
They hadn't thought they needed to where there were no outbuildings to be broken into. Maybe the intruder's goal wasn't the outbuildings. Maybe it was the house itself. ~ within Chapter 6

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.

"Colters' Woman" by Maya Banks is about what you'll do for the one who completes you. Holly is running from her life that is suddenly falling apart .... and right into the arms of the Colter Brothers. However, after one glance the brothers know they don't want to let go ..... will Holly feel the same? And if so .. will she allow them to help her make it through the troubles that are after her?

4 out of 5 stars. I like how the Maya made this book into something more then just a quick romp type of book .... you get to see the caring and compassion that each of the brothers and Holly feel for each other.

For more information on this book or any other books by Maya, then please check out her website.

You gotta play the cards you got. Who knows what fate is holding. At times you gotta go without knowing where you're going.

Format: Adobe PDF | File Size: 276 KB | Release Date: April 2010

"Colters' Wife" [Colters’ Legacy] by Maya Banks -- This is a short story that kind of fits as a longer epilogue of "Colters' Woman" (aka Book 1) and a setup story for "Colters’ Lady" (aka Book 2, releasing in June 2010). Basically it is about how Holly is about give birth to their first child and them coming together even more as a family.

3 out of 5 stars. For a short story I think it was a good one, and it definitely a great portrayal of the characters in Book 1!

If you haven't read the first novella from this series yet, but are curious about it then click here to read my review of Book 1. For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by Maya, then please check out her website.

When you find yourself ...

Who knew I would like Amish stories? I certainly didn't, or didn't realize that I would enjoy them as much as I did. But I guess when you look at it if it is a really good romance story and the plot really catches your interest then anything is possible. =0) And that's what I found with "Hidden" (part of the Sisters of the Heart series) by Shelley Shepard Gray.

This is the first story in the Sisters of the Heart series. I'm not sure if I'll read the others anytime soon, but after reading the first chapter the book held my interest and I couldn't put it down. It's an easy read (under 300 pages) about Anna, a woman who really has no direction in life and finds herself in an abusive relationship. After trying to talk to her family and police about her situation, and everyone not believing her, she turns to the last people she can think of her friend Katie's family who are apart of the Amish community in Pennsylvania. They take her in, and she earns her keep while hiding from her abuser and everyone she knows as she thinks her loved ones who inform him of her location. While doing so she grows as a person, gains a special relationship/friendship, and feels happier then she has in a long time. But what will she be able to go back to the life she just left??

It was a very good story ... if you don't mind it being full of detail yet short ... I give it 5 out of 5 stars. I'm not sure if I'll read the other stories in the series but you never know, since I did love the main characters in this book.

To find out more about this book, series, or other of her books ... then check out Shelley Shepard Gray's website.

Made the Grade: The Highlander Series, Book 7

Format: Paperback | Pages: 395 | Release Date: June 2006 | Publisher: Dell Books

"Spell of the Highlander" [The Highlander Series, Book 7] by Karen Marie Moning

My Book Summary : Who knew that helping her boss, while he was in the hospital, would change Jessica's life forever ....

All she had to do was sign for a package that was being delivered late at night at the university she worked for and the item needed just be delivered and locked up in her boss’s office, then she could go. However, fate stepped in instead ...

What she didn't know at the time was that inside the mirror lived a ninth century Highland Warrior, named Cian, who would do anything to get out of there and the only thing he needed was her. The only problem was would she really believe what she was seeing before the person who was after the mirror came to get it and killed her in the process. So, now this Highlander offers her his protection if she offers hers in return.

Will Jessi be able to accept the impossible and while chaos happens in the process still be able to not loose her heart to this hunk of a man ...

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. Not as good of storyline as I had hoped. However, the characters were cute and I couldn't get enough of them. I love the world that Ms. Moning has come up with for this series and her Fever series, especially how they both intertwine together! In this book you'll learn more background information that you didn't know about if you've only read the Fever series, so I could recommend reading this book just for that alone! I can't wait to see what will be in store next!

My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1 | Book 6

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Darkfever | Bloodfever | Faefever | Dreamfever

Book Teaser :
"Well, if he's a Druid-turned-dark-sorcerer and you're just a Druid, and a Druid-turned-dark-sorcerer is so much more powerful, then just how do you plan to defeat---oh! Crimeny! Shit!"
Understanding belatedly dawning, she backpedaled away from him, butting up against the rain-slicked side of the car parked parallel to hers. "I can be so dense sometimes," she breathed. "Because you're one of the bad guys, too, aren't you? You turned dark sorcerer, too, didn't you? It's the only way it makes sense."
His whisky eyes narrowed. "Get in the car, Jessica," he said softly. ~ within Chapter 12
