Are you looking to read about a certain type of paranormal? Well, Jess is NOW sorting & listing all of her novels by what type they are! These are only listed if the main characters within the novel Jess has read are a certain type of paranormal race.

Made the Grade: Dark Series, Book 8

Format: Paperback | Pages: 382 | Release Date: January 2002 | Publisher: Leisure Books

"Dark Legend" [Dark Series, Book 8] by Christine Feehan

My Book Summary : Gabriel has been fighting his personal darkness and those of his race who've turned into vampires for centuries. But as luck would have it he stumbles upon his lifemate, Francesca, once he awakens from being secluded in the earth after a long time. However, at first she wants to help him, but once she realizes who he is, she would like him out of her life as soon as possible.

Gabriel will have none of that though. Will he earn Francesca's affections? In addition, will he be able to protect her from the vampires whom are closing in on them at a rapid rate?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Sweet book, however I would not considerate a favorite in this series for me. =0P

My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 12

Book Teaser :
Gabriel's dark eyes swept the child huddling close to Francesca for protection. "Look at me." It was a soft command, but impossible to disobey. Skyler's large eyes met his instantly. "You will trust in me, in Francesca, and believe that we can sort this out. There is no need for fear. Those under my protection cannot be abused in any way. Francesca will continue to heal you and you will cease to worry over trivial matters such as this ugly argument. They cannot touch your life, little one. They will never be allowed to do so. They only believe they have such power." ~ within Chapter 8

So let's find a way to bring back the days when our hearts were forever young

Everyone is searching for their own happily-ever-after whether they believe so or not .... "Casting Spells" by Barbara Bretton ... characters are just doing the same. However, Chloe is a half-human half-sorcerer who hasn't fallen into her powers at all ... but has a town who is in need of her guidance. As the town has been protected for over 300 years from outsiders prying eyes is finally falling into their own cracks and everyone is hoping she will make it all better. But when an outsider dies in their town .... a cop moves in to find out if it was an accident or a murder??? Will Chloe be able to get him out town without anything being noticeable?? Or will he find out more then he's supposed to?

4 out of 5 stars. The story was written in a diary kinda form from both Luke and Chloe's sides. It kept me rapt in what was going on and I couldn't put it down!

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

** Title is from the song We Were In Love by Toby Keith **

This book report is all Hush, Hush...

Well, yesterday I finished reading Hush, Hush, by Becca Fitzpatrick. It's the first novel in her first and latest series about immortal beings and fallen angels. I really liked the main characters Patch and Nora. Patch is of course a bad boy with a good heart [even though he doesn't want to admit to it] and Nora is a good girl who tries to do the right thing always.

I loved that the setting was in Maine since ... HELLO I'm from Maine!! ... I love when I can get another view on that area I never would have thought of. *sigh ... memories*

The only problem I had with the novel was Nora's best friend Vee ... she was just way to goddamn pushy. I just wanted to smack her ... especially 20% of Nora's problems were from Vee making up things ... she just needed to shut up sometimes. It was very annoying. =0/ But I digress.

Basically for me the book had too many twists and turns for me to either keep up with it or like it during the first to the middle half of the book .... but from the middle to the end it finally got better ... so all in all I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Definitely I plan on reading the sequel to this book called Crescendo .. when it comes out since like I said I did love the books ending [and no not just because it ended ... it was really good!! =0) ]!! Put it this way because I loved the main characters that kept me reading the book. ♥

To find out more from Becca Fitzpatrick check out her website.

Feasted On: The Demon Underground Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 335 KB | Release Date: September 2008 | Publisher: Bell Bridge Books

"Bite Me" [The Demon Underground Series, Book 1] by Parker Blue

My Book Summary : Eighteen-year-old Valentine (Val) has grown up being an outsider, even to her own family. You see ... her mother and father were married ... once ... but it didn't work out, especially when Val's father just happens to be part incubus demon ... making Val part succubus demon. And even though that's not her fault her mother has never forgiven her for that.

Now, because her little half-sister snuck into Val's vehicle without her knowledge while she was vampire hunting, she is getting kicked out of her parents home and can't work at the family bookstore anymore. Who will she turn to when the only people she really knows is her family? And what will she do for a living and finding a place to live ... when she's only eighteen and can kill vampires?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! The book was more then I could have hoped for!! Entertaining and ACTION PACKED! The characters were awesome! Well, except the mother was a bitch and her sister was a little annoying. *hehee* What will it be .... Val & Dan? Or Val & Shade? I think I'll be happy with either right now. =0)

"Waiting On" Wednesday: Shadowfever


  • Today's "Waiting On" Wednesday by Jill - click here


  • "Shadowfever" [Fever Series, Book 5] by Karen Marie Moning
    Publication Released Date: December 7, 2010

    Book Description:
      MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.

      Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister's murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals that have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.

      What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief, while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh--a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King that contains the power to create and destroy worlds.

      In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac, and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.

      Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman that haunts her dreams? More importantly, who is Mac and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?

      From the luxury of the Lord Master's penthouse, to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover, to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac's journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and make a choice that will either save the world...or destroy it.

    I fell in love with this series after randomly picking up "Dreamfever" at the library. I cannot WAIT until this for this conclusion novel to the series!! I hope that Jericho & Mac will get together and STAY together! And I really hope that Jericho is okay ....

    My Previous Reviews for this Series: Book 1 | Book 2 | Book 3 | Book 4

    Disappointmentville: Fallen Series, Book 1

    Format: Hardcover | Pages: 452 | Release Date: December 2009 | Publisher: Delacorte Press

    "Fallen" [Fallen Series, Book 1] by Lauren Kate

    My Book Summary : Luce has known things have been following her ever since she was a little kid, but talking about it to others has just forced her to take medication and see doctors. However, now it has landed her into Sword & Cross boarding school, after an incident happened leaving the person with her dead. While at this new school that is completely worn down she meets Daniel, she is drawn to him instantly but he keeps pushing her away as much as possible. Will things change for them? Or will her past and the things around her come back to haunt her?

    My Book Review : 2 out of 5 stars. For how long the book is, it sometimes seems to repeat itself and never move on. In addition, for all the hype about the book, it wasn't worth the money, so I would pick it up at a library if your interested in seeing it. Sorry -- I just wasn't impressed. Yet .. I will say the ending did leave me a bit intrigued.

    Feasted On: True Mates Series, Book 3

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 307 KB | Release Date: March 2009 | Publisher: Loose Id LLC

    "Nikolai's Wolf" [True Mates Series, Book 3] by Zena Wynn

    My Book Summary : Shannon has had to deal with her older brother (and also her pack leader) pushing possible mates onto her for quite a while now. But she's not scared because being alpha-fem she can fight just as good as her brother and make sure none of them mark her as theirs. Then ... her brother decides to give her a taste of her own medicine and calls a "hunt." That is where all the unmated females in the pack run out into the woods, then minutes later all of the eligible unmated males in the pack chance after them, and whoever claims the female first is mated for life. Shannon wants none of it or the wolves that decide on following her, but when they close in, she tries to fight them off. Thankfully her brother watches the fight to make sure no one gets seriously hurt, yet unfortunately after the fights her brother decides on chancing her off out of his territory and into the wolf territory in the next town, where he believes she'll find a good mate for her while still keeping good standing in the pack which he runs.

    The good news is Shannon finds her true mate! The bad news is Nikolai is a vampire! Will she accept his wanting to mate with her? And if so, is she willing to give up everything she knows and loves to do so?

    My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! I really like how this book was portrayed! Great characters! And I loved the plot!

    Book Teaser :
    "Yes, I'm on the Pill."
    "You have to come off of them."
    Her mouth dropped open, and she bit back the urge to rail at him. Did he understand what he was asking her to do? "Alex, you know I can't do that, especially not now." If she did, she might as well lie down in the street naked and hang a sign around her neck that said FUCK ME. ~ within Chapter 3
