<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the future the world was nearly
destroyed by religious extremist so now religion is outlawed and treated as fictitious. Justin March was a servitor whose job is was
to investigate claims of paranormal activity and ensure that the religions
followed strict guidelines; however he was sent into exile following an event
that forever changed his life. One day Mae Koskinen, warrior elite for the
Republic of United North America, comes bearing a message that will allow
Justin back into the civilized world and redeem his name. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Gameboard of the Gods is an amazing
science fiction novel mixed with paranormal fantasy. The characters are complex
yet blend together wonderfully as their relationship grows into something
adjacent to a friendship. I absolutely enjoyed Mae’s storyline, not that Justin’s
wasn’t excellent as well, from her past as a debutante into the present as the
warrior she has become and the losses she has faced in her life it is intricate
and wonderful to follow along as her character develops and the story
progresses. Richelle Mead has done a wonderful job with this book and though she
is known for her young adult series she has seamlessly taken over the adult
world with her new novel. With action packed scenes and tantalizing “steamy”
scenes it’s sure to have a little bit of something for everyone. This book is highly original and definitely
worth the read. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There is no way I could have done
this book justice in my brief synopsis, so much takes place and there are so
many varied and interesting characters. The book itself starts off a bit slow
but this is due to introducing us to the characters, once the book does kick
off though it is one twist and turn after another keeping you on the edge of
your seat as you wait to see what will happen next. Robert V.S. Redick does a
magnificent job of bringing each of his characters and even the side characters
to life, but not only this he also adds in some stunning scenery on top of it
being a high paced adventure. This is definitely one of the best fantasy novels
I have come across and with an ending like this one I cannot wait to see what
will be in store. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

assembly of warriors, but not only are they warriors they are still young women

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Most of us know the story of Pride
and Prejudice, with five movie adaptations and over twenty million copies sold
of the book itself it’s hard not to know the story, but Seth Grahame-Smith has
taken the classic story to a whole new level. I didn’t think I would enjoy this
book as much as I did, even though you know the story the changes that have
been made only seem to improve the overall experience. Seth Grahame-Smith takes
the original story and adds zombie encounters here and there and a few
innuendos making a classic romance novel into and action packed comedy on top
of one of the most amazing love stories. I absolutely loved this book it’s definitely
worth the read even if you have yet to read Pride and Prejudice. If you’re not
a fan of regency romance novels this book is a great introduction into the
world of Jane Austen so when you wife or girlfriend swoons over Mr. Darcy you’ll
know why. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I absolutely loved Lee Ann Howlett’s
narration of this book. First off her characters where each distinct from the
low timber of cooper to the high pitched whine of some of the beauty pageant
contestants making the story come to life. What really made this an excellent
performance though weren’t just the different voices of her characters but also
the accents. I am a native Texan and so many times I come across audio books or
even on television where an actor or narrator will butcher the accent but Lee
Ann Howlett was spot on, I didn’t even cringe once. The story itself is a great
cozy mystery, </span>which is a subgenre of crime fiction where the sex and
violence are downplayed or even portrayed humorously. (Thanks Wikipedia!) Laina Turner did a wonderful job with the
mystery aspect of the book not once did I suspect who had done it until the very
end which is great! You can tell this is not the first book in the series but
the fun of a cozy mystery is you don’t really have to start at the beginning
this book is no exception Laina Turner makes sure you can keep up with the
story from the very beginning. If you are a fan of cozy mysteries or even a
beginner I definitely recommend this book, and be sure to check out the great
audio book the narration makes it so much better. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This book is not as a good as the
first one, but was great in continuing the story of the Harper Bride. It’s not
bad it is more of a classic romance with touches of the ghost as the ghost
becomes more aggressive I think the ghost was scarier in the first book
considering it focused more around two young children. This book is a great
romance Nora Roberts is a fantastic romantic author and there is no wonder why
she is such a bestseller and has so many books under her belt, I can’t wait to
read the next book and see what happens concerning the Harper Bride and if they
can appease the ghost once and for all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

her. That is until her powers begin to manifest themselves and she is soon in

second book in a series; you can definitely tell you’ve missed something when
you start reading but it’s still a great story even if you start in the middle
like I did. Maureen Lipinski has created a fantastic story here centering on
Rhea and her past life. Even though Rhea is absolutely intriguing and the main
character of the novel there are several times when her sisters and mother draw
the attention away from Rhea making you want to know more about their unique
gifts. Through the blending of dreams Rhea glimpses events in her past life
that are so well written and descriptive you can almost see yourself in ancient
Egypt. The author takes something simple
from Egyptian mythology and plays it to its fullest captivating readers and
transporting us into another world. I cannot wait to see what else the author
has in store for Rhea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is such a fun book, though you
can definitely tell it is not the first in a series the author does an amazing
job of making this a “stand alone” novel so that even though I haven’t read the
previous two myself I can jump into the story and not once do I feel lost or
confused. First off you have the gaming aspect of the book which I must admit I
love video games so it automatically appealed to me but the author goes further
than that she not only brings the game to life but she brings the multiple
realms it represents into such vivid perspective I know I was definitely
jealous of Kiri and wanted to jump head first into the game myself. Then you
have some of the best scenes I have come across in a long time and Robin D.
Owens descriptive proficiency comes into play once again sucking you into the
story and the world in which she has created even further. This is a fascinating
fantasy and with the heartwarming romance and touches of the gaming world it is
highly unique. With such a well written book and an amazing story this is
definitely a book worth reading. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Prague, beginning with a party where all the guests in attendance begin to jump

lifetime to travel to Prague Castle and begin cataloguing Beethoven’s
manuscripts. As a musicologist who specializes in the life of Ludwig van
Beethoven how could she turn down such an invitation? Soon after she arrives
however she learns that her mentor had committed “suicide” but his is the first
in many unusual deaths that begin to occur. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I am a fan of Beethoven’s music so
it’s no surprise I wanted to read a book in which present day seems to
intertwine with the story of Beethoven himself. I had no idea how amazing this
book would actually turn out Magnus Flyte has taken multiple pasts and managed
to bring them into the present in an unusual way yet it all blends together so
wonderfully and precisely. I must warn you that this is truly an adult book
with drugs and sex mixed into the storyline it may not be suitable for
everyone, for me however the free spirited Sarah is the perfect character to
tell this story. The theory behind the book is absolutely intriguing strange
deaths, a drug that can let you see into the past, and all tying in with Ludwig
van Beethoven what more could you ask for?

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This
is book number one in a story about a post-apocalyptic world where families
live in tribes in one of the many abandoned buildings left over after something
known as, “the crash” happened. The main
characters of this story are Deeta Richards and Tom. Deeta longs to see what is
outside of her building because the only ones allowed outside of the compound
are soldiers who go out and fight whatever is still out there and Tom is one of
those soldiers. Tom is her dearest friend in this new world and although he keeps
secret about his life before he was brought to Clark Tribe , Deeta never
expected him to have kept the secret he shares with everyone after a kidnapping
occurs from her. It is after this kidnapping that her entire life is turned
upside down, and changes in a way she never expected it to.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The
first half of this story is describing the longing Deeta feels to see the world
outside of the tribe, her friendship with Tom, and describing the rules and
traditions of the tribe. Although Deeta has her own family she spends a great
deal of her time taking after the Jepsjon family that consists of three
children, Tom, and the father figure being Professor Jep. Everything in the
compound is routine until one night that men in camouflage break into the compound
and kidnap Dec Jepsjon while the soldiers who fight outside the compound are
gone. When the soldiers return and find that Dec , one of the Jepsjon children,
has been taken it is then that Tom shares a family secret with the entire
compound, and the tribe is in uproar over it. Soon after the tribe votes to
decide if Tom and the remaining Jepsjon family should be allowed to stay in the
tribe, the tribe must go out into the city and move to the Marshall tribe for
protection against Tom’s secret. Once
the Clark tribe has safely moved into the Marshall compound, the remaining
Jepsjon family leaves without saying a word and that same night there is an
attack on the Marshalls. Deeta and her sister, Jan, is then taken by the same
camouflaged men that took Dec. From this point forward I will keep a secret
from you because I do not like to spoil a good story but just know that there
is a war, conspiracy, and a new found love within all of it.<br />

<br />
Although I was extremely
skeptical reading this book, picturing it being similar to a Hunger Games type plot,
but changed my mind when I read the first few pages of the book I cannot wait
to read the second book and hope that D.D. Chant releases it soon considering
Broken City came out in 2010. D.D. Chant had a few errors that should have been
caught in the editing process, but overall is an excellent author and I love
how through her descriptions, such as on page 273 when Chant writes the
following “The children are listening to one of Uncle Jep’s stories as we enter
the flat, it is an idyllic picture: Tarri has again wrapped herself around
Uncle Jep and with her head on his shoulder is staring sleepily into the fire.
The rest of the children are huddled on the floor, the fire’s warm glow playing
over their excited faces.” With such
beautiful imagery I am truly able to visualize everything as if I am Deeta
herself.<o:p></o:p></div>

with church is not a bad thing, Melissa Love proves how wrong that assumption
can be. At first you keep wondering what is wrong with Victoria, but as the
story goes along you realize she is just straight up crazy. I absolutely loved
it; the story is captivating the ending is absolutely astonishing. I am not
sure if this is meant to be funny but it is one of the best dark comedies I
have come across. With a sardonic look into modern day Christianity and a
mother’s obsession the book keeps you entertained from page one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h1 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">By Cheryl B. Dale<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">This is the story of Belinda Rand, Lindy as known by close friends and
family, and the struggle that she goes through to find herself and her destiny.
Lassitan is a quiet town in northern
Georgia that like most small towns have their own folklore and rumors about
other people in town, in this story that is the Warwick family. The Warwicks
are said to be witches, or some other type of supernatural beings that if you crossed
or mingled with them you would live to regret it. Lindy thought she knew all
too well about the power the Warwicks had when she befriended a Warick named
Gareth and soon after that experienced a loss in her family. Gareth and Lindy had no further interaction
until one night she was coming home from work, and saved his life and this is
the turning point in the story when Lindy begins to realize she could be
destined and capable of more than she had ever expected. <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1343077907l/13600910.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1343077907l/13600910.jpg" /></a></div>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: small;">The story begins with introducing Lindy, her abusive and tragic past, the
stories about the Warwick family, and how little of herself she thinks of.
Lindy in the beginning of the story feels unworthy of a successful life that she dreams of having.
As I mentioned in the synopsis she saves one of the Warwicks, Gareth, from
drowning in the lake but what I failed to mention is how. Lindy does however
have one upper hand compared to everyone else, she can hear a subconscious
voice that allows her to hear animals in stress, but can sometimes hear humans.
The night she saved Gareth she heard him floating in the lake on the verge of
drowning. After taking a possibly drunk
Gareth home, she makes a deal that changes her entire life, even though she
thinks it is all a dream. I’m not going to tell you what the deal is because
then you wouldn’t want to read this amazing book. Lindy leaves Lassitan and
does not return until 10 years later, to fulfill her end of the deal she made
with the Warwick family.<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: small;"> Although I am leaving quite a bit of
mystery for you, please note that this story captures almost every element of
what a reader would want to read. It features magic, love, murder, mystery, and
much much more. When I first saw the cover, and read the description I was
highly skeptical but once I started this book I simply could not put it down, I
was that enveloped in what was going to happen next. <o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For thirty years Charlie and Donna
Barton have run The Bridge a book store in Tennessee, not only do they sell
books but through the years have touched the lives of many people around them.
This includes Molly Allen and Ryan Kelly who met in college and would use The
Bridge as their own secret hideout. Years later Molly and Ryan have drifted
apart and The Bridge has been hit by hard times after a devastating flood. Now
Molly and Ryan are reunited to save their beloved bookstore and maybe work
through the hurt of their pasts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Karen Kingsbury has now made it onto
my “Evil Evil Authors” list, I think I cried throughout three fourths of this
novella so I definitely recommend grabbing a box of tissues to have by your
side as Karen Kingsbury is a master at playing with your heart strings. This
was such a beautiful novel of how the smallest thing can truly change a
person’s life forever. Each person has a story and Charlie has become a part of
that by showing a simple act of kindness to those around him. Karen Kingsbury
manages to incorporate so much in such a short book not only Molly and Ryan’s
story but also Charlie and Donna and even glimpses into the lives of the many
people who were affected by the bookstore. I absolutely loved this book it’s
just a simple yet beautiful Christian romance yet the story will stay with you.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ten year old Eddie is going through
some major life changes, first his family moves to Drayton Woods, and then his
Grandfather who was also his best friend passes away. After his Grandfather
passes away Eddie soon learns that the stories his grandfather has always told
him of a magical place called Carlousia were not fairy tales but in fact is an
actual place. Carlousia is in trouble when Eddie first visits and needs his
help as the new Guardian, with help from his Carlousian guide Torgy and his
furry little friend Wahhaha can Eddie save Carlousia before it’s too late?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This was such a fun book! Eddie and
his friends as well as the characters from Carlousia work well together as the
story progresses each one bringing a new aspect to the storyline making it a
truly fun read. The only real problem I had was in the edition I received there
were so many typos, even though they were just little things like except
instead of accept it is frustrating but hopefully this will be revised in later
editions. That aside it’s a great story from the very beginning and E.G. Carter
does remarkable job bringing to life an incredible young adult fantasy. With
great fantasy, intense action scenes, and amazing characters I would rate this
book five stars hands down if only the typos weren’t in the way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Hey Guys! So I know I haven't posted anything in a couple of days but when you are a military family your memorial day weekend tends to be pretty busy. This is the time of year we all take a minute to remember those who have lost their lives in the service of us all. Not only do I try to be grateful that someone gave up their own life to protect the life I enjoy, but I am so very grateful for the ones who have survived. Which brings me to the link below please take a few minutes to visit the Wounded Warrior Project. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I will see you Tuesday! </b></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is the story of Dorie’s life
from the tribulations in her childhood to the heartbreak in her teenage years
and through to her adulthood where she continues to face one trial after another.
Dorie is raised as a good Jewish girl she struggles with her faith, works to
overcome her dysfunctional family, and learns about loss and finds out how to
love for the first time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The first half of this book is all
about the pain Dorie has gone through with a father who could care less about
her and a mother who is manipulative and mentally abusive to her children. Which
is interesting even though the story progresses slowly and the author bounces
around in her story from one person to another and from one time period to a
completely different one. Then you have the last half of the novel most of
which is how Dorie is beginning to stand up for herself and make the changes
she desperately needed to make. It isn’t until about eighty percent through the
book that I wanted to stop reading completely. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dorie has been married and has a
child with this man and knows he has a drinking problem, when her husband
finally confesses to the problem she does not decide “I should try to help him”
no she decides “Oh well I wanted to leave you anyway” not only does she want to
leave her husband but she wants to leave him for another man who is also
married. As if the author caught on that this is a messed up situation she
sends Dorie home to her husband and has him “attack” her and throw her on the
couch in an effort to justify Dorie’s actions. If this isn’t bad enough the
author also seems to take a carbon copy of the hated mother character and
re-name her and label her as the wife of the man Dorie is now in love with the
only difference being she is physically abusive as well as mentally. When I have
already begun to hate the character once it seems deflated to try to hate her
again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

as I often do when I am reading and reviewing, and he says “Personal feelings
aside, how is the story?” The only thing I could say was that it was boring
nothing really happens until the end and by then I had already wanted to stop
reading and pick up something else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the future homosexuals are
reigning supreme and through genetic manipulation control the sexuality of a
child making heterosexuals are only a backup plan in case their plans fail most
of them are sterile and only a handful are able to reproduce. Grace is a
heterosterile, until she becomes pregnant after an encounter with Dex Wheelock.
Now she must fight to save the life of her unborn child.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Some aspects of this book are really
interesting, such as how Grace became able to reproduce, but then you have to
world in which the author has created in which homosexual men are purely driven
by their sexual organs. This book is highly adult with rape and consensual episodes
around every corner, literally in some instances. I think if Matthew J. Beier had integrated a
perspective of a homosexual man not in the resistance but going along with the
political regime then it would have been easier to relate to this book, as it
is I just can’t imagine a world where homosexual men have turned into Nazis and
all they care about is sex and destroying every last breeder out there. The
afterword is a good touch to the novel itself as it explains some things but
the purpose of a good book is to do this through the narration. I do think it’s
an interesting concept I just wish it had been a bit more believable than it
is. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After Lizette climbs out of the
shower getting ready to go to work, she makes a startling discovery; she
doesn’t recognize the woman looking back at her in the mirror. Every time she
tries to understand what she is seeing, why her face has changed and two years
are missing from her life she becomes violently ill. Determined to find out
what is going on Lizette soon finds a way to work around the block in her mind
and pieces together a life completely opposite from her own in every way except
one. She has lived them both.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">From page one you are assaulted by
relentless action and intrigue as Linda Howard takes you through one twist
after another. This is definitely a great romance novel, full of steamy scenes,
high octane action, and a mystery unlike any other. This book follows your
standard romance novel rules, girl has a problem, girl meets boy, boy helps
solve problem, and they live happily ever after. What makes this book stand out
from the rest by having some of the most intense action scenes with amazing
descriptive detail Linda Howard draws you into the story and keeps you hooked
as you try to figure out what is so special about Lizette and why someone would
want to completely alter her appearance and even her memories. I loved how
Lizette starts off as a kind of “wimpy” character and soon you start to see the
real woman peak out from behind the mask. The transformation along with
amazingly detailed action scenes and an interesting ending makes this a romance
novel worth the read. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Zoe once lived an ordinary life, she
had family and friends and a decent job as janitor for Pope Pharmaceuticals.
Then the world she knew spiraled out of existence leaving Zoe on a journey in a
post-apocalyptic world making her way to Greece on a search for a better life.
Through flashbacks we are able to see precisely how the world becomes a
nightmare full of monsters lurking around every corner, those who were once
human and those who are still human but lost their humanity somewhere in the
chaos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This novel starts off from the
beginning as a harsh assessment of the monsters that human beings can become.
This is a brutal story full of murder and unspeakable violence in a world that
has been left ravaged; it is certainly not for the faint of heart. For the most
part I liked this book, the flashbacks of how the world began to change was
much more interesting to me then the “now” portion of the book until Zoe
finally makes it to Greece and the author seems to open up and the post-apocalyptic
world becomes even more enthralling than the downfall of mankind. The only
problem I had with the book was the big bad villain was more annoying than
anything else, but in the end it works into the story a bit better and you’re
not rolling your eyes every time they show up. Plus with an ending like this
one has chances are you’ll read book two regardless just to see what happens
next. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Once again Lovecraft Middle school
sucks you straight into the story, with Robert battling monsters from another
dimension that appear as students from around the school. I absolutely loved
this book it’s a great continuation of the story but also in this book Charles
Gilman has added an unlikely ally to Robert and Glenn as they continue on in a
search to stop the evil Tillinghast. Not only is this a fantastic story it also
has some amazing illustrations by Eugene Smith who does a fantastic job
capturing what Charles Gilman is trying to get across to his readers and
bringing it to life throughout the pages of the books. This is definitely one
of those “fun for all ages” books making it a perfect series to read along with
your kids. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Set over one hundred years in the
future in a declining society we meet a special boy, Harry who will soon leave
his mark on the world. The story begins when Harry is fourteen after he loses
his one friend and confidant, his grandfather, Harry spirals into a deep
depression until he meets a remarkable girl that soon captures his heart. Harry wants nothing more than to spend the
rest of his life with Lorrie; instead he spends the rest of his life searching
for her when she disappears. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Throughout the story we follow along
through each of Harry’s loves and losses spanning his entire life, we also follow
along through his triumphs in his own personal life as he is determined to
effect change in the world around him and not just be a bystander in society. The story itself is interesting, a love story
mixed with futuristic political unrest. The author does a great job of getting his
point across and describing the nation and the problems the world is facing
drawing you into the story even further as you begin to hope for a solution. The
only real problem with this book is that if you are going to set it in the
future we need more descriptive scenery you wouldn’t know it was a futuristic
novel if the author didn’t incorporate holograms and also add in dates so that
you know how much time has passed between each event in Harry’s life. If you
don’t mind relying on your own imagination when it comes to the scenery then
this is definitely worth the read. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
So I know I haven't been on here in a while and the last update was about my medical problems. I am fine but during the process of trying to find out what exactly was wrong with me my father passed away. He had just turned 50 in December and being his only child over the age of 18 I was left to take care of all the arrangements and everything that comes with someone passing away, including the drama lol. Everything has been taken care of and all I can say is please, PLEASE if you do not have life insurance go out and get some now. Its been hard but I am looking forward to getting back to my reviews. I will be taking it slower than I reviewed previously, and I apologize if I caused any inconvenience to the authors, publishers, and to my readers. Let's hope I don't get thrown another curve ball any time soon. :)<br />

earth in order to save The Siblings of Earth. Along the way Junco finds that
everywhere she turns is full of secrets and revelations. What if you had the
power to save a race of beings at the cost of the other? Junco may be strong

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I love Junco she is a loud mouthed
character who doesn’t take crap from anyone. Plus she cusses like a sailor and
chain smokes cigars, what’s not to love? What was annoying in this book though
was that the men in Junco’s life seemed to turn into whining and needy men,
each one vying for Junco’s attention and pouting if she didn’t reciprocate.
Other than that the book is pretty good with tons of action and adventure, and
so many twists it is hard to keep count. I did have one question, at the end of
the book how did they keep everything straight? That’s all I will say or I will
run the risk of ruining the book for those who haven’t yet read it. This is one
of those books though you definitely want to read the rest of the series before
jumping in. From page one this book held my attention I wasn’t a fan of the
ending but it is definitely a great way to make sure you keep reading the
series. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All Jazz wants to do is drown her
sorrows, her partner is in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, she has been
shunned by most of the cops in the city, and she has just enough money left to
get really drunk. While she is minding her own business a man comes up to her in
his brand new leather outfit making him stick out like a sore thumb in the
biker bar, but what is truly weird is the man knows her name and has an
envelope for her. She has never been to this particular bar before and only
just decided right before arriving. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have to say it, I loved Jazz, she
is a smart mouth who can back it up but there is so much more to her than just
that she is kind and caring even if she pulls her gun first and asks questions
later. I wasn’t sure what the story would be about as the synopsis I had read
was fairly vague but it turned out to be a unique and fun read. I know Rachel
Caine has also written the Morganville Vampire series, even though I have only
read two of those I have to say that Rachel Caine is a truly surprising author.
She has come up with two of the most original series that I have ever come
across but not only that none of her books that I have read even come close to
anyone else’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book in particular
you have great characters an amazing storyline all surrounding the good versus
evil premise. This is certainly a must read and I look forward to what Rachel
Caine has in store next.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
