Moon Called (Mercy Thompson Series, Book 1) by Patricia Briggs

This book was recommended to me by my co-worker Eliza!
It was amazing!
Not full of the romance I'm usually reading but such an awesome read.
It was full of detail and adventure.

Mercy Thompson is a "walker". She's basically a shapeshifter and she turns into a coyote whenever she feels like it. She lives in Washington state next door to the Alpha male of the local werewolf pack. His name is Adam. She ends up being the mother hen to the pack after they are attacked by some unknowns and Adam's human daughter, Jesse, is kidnapped. Mercy flees with an injured Adam to the pack that raised her because she doesn't feel like she can trust Adam's pack with his life. She makes a good choice if you ask me. After Adam is able to shift back to human form and healed a bit they return to their pack territory to figure out just what happened. They also bring Samuel, Mercy's ex-boyfriend who picked her to be his mate but only because she'd be able to bear his offspring.

Overall it was just so good that I'm already reading the next book in the series. It was such an easy, relaxing, and enjoyable read I want to do it again!

Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1) by Jeaniene Frost

This was an awesome book!
Catherine Crawford is a halfbreed of vampire and human. Her human mother was raped by an infant vampire that produced Cat five months later. She found out about her father when she was 16 or so and hasn't had an easy life since.

She's vowed to her mother to kill any and all vampires she comes across because she has a sixth sense at being able to locate them if they are near by. Until one night she spots a vampire that turns her down.....

What she didn't know was that he was stalking the vampire she ends up staking that night. He meets up with her in the following nights, kidnaps her, and finds out that she is just what he's needing. A new partner. With much assault she agrees to work with him. She undergoes weeks of brutal training from him. Oh, his name is Bones. Yeah, a weird name but it all makes sense when he later explains where it comes from.

They work great together. She's the bait and he's the backup. She's a real kick ass killer. She's armed with wooden wrapped silver stakes she keeps in her boots along with knives and stars she keeps up her sleeves or legs.

They end up going after a very powerful vampire who is harvesting young women that won't be missed to sell to other vampires or whomever else has a nasty need for young girls. Cat was even targeted as one but she was able to fight her way out of it.

Of course Cat and Bones end up falling in love. However, it's not so easy for Cat to let that emotion come over her and even more so she doesn't want to hurt her mother.

This book was full of action. Lots of awesome fighting, funny dialogue, and an incredible story line. I'm sooo looking forward to the next book due out April 29th!

Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind (Planet Nerak, Book 1) by Karen Kelley

This was a fun book! It's about an alien, Mala, from the planet of Nerak, an all female, small planet that has completely taken the male gene out of reproduction. The Elders harvest eggs from selected Nerakian females, then they deliver the female infant at a later date for all household members to raise. They also create robot "companions" to fulfill their sexual needs as well as any other need that may come up. Also, on Nerak there is no pain, they consume pills as food and drink a smoothie when they become upset.

Mala decides she has had enough. She takes an aeroplane and travels to Earth. Her grandmother once lived on Earth, kept a journal, and even had a documentary, which was actually a porn movie, so she knew what to expect.

She crash landed on Sheriff Mason's land in Texas. Mason was quick to help Mala. She's quick to tell him she's from another galaxy but he thinks she as amensia and a weird sense of humor. It's classic scenes that unfold since she is not familiar with Earth. Not to mention that when she gets upset she sends off electrical waves of some sort that cause the power to go out and electrical devices to break.

It's a fast paced book with lots of humor and sexy scenes. Mala is easy to like and her companion Burton is even easier to like! Looking forward to reading the next book in the series at a later date.

What Color Are You?

Thanks to Leigh Ann for the link!
It's mostly true!

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Brown

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

Overall it was a good day. I'm going to end it by reading a bit from my newest book.

I'd have to say the best gift I've received, even though it wasn't given as such, was:

Thanks to everyone for the gifts!

Raine: The Lords of Satyr by Elizabeth Amber

Just finished the second book of this trilogy. This was about the second brother who finds his mate by entering the wrong lecture hall. She was on exhibit because "she" is a hermaphrodite. She is given to a doctor on each of her birthdays for the past 19 years to be studied by other physicians as well as interested people who bear lots of money and can pay their way in to view the "creature". They immediately create a bond of attraction. Jordan, is living a life as a man so that her families fortune is given to her upon the death of her mother rather than her dead father's side of the family.

Raine, who is looking for his true mate runs into Jordan again later that night while she is trying to run away from her captures. They were about to perform a dangerous procedure to see if she possessed an uterus, ultimately proving if she was truly male or female.

Raine takes her away, seduces her, she falls in love with him, but he was still holding out.

It was a great read with lots of awesome detail. It was bit erotic than I'm comfortable with but I took it all in stride. I'm not sure if I'm ready to dive into the next book of the youngest brother Lyon. I might save that for a later date.

Nicholas: The Lords of Satyr by Elizabeth Amber

This was an amazing book. I'd classify it as a historical, paranormal romance. The main character Nick, is the oldest of 3 brothers who has been asked to locate the daughters of the King of Satyr land. Nicholas finds Jane posing as a fortuneteller, weds her, and ultimately falls in love with her at the end of the book. What's different about Nicholas and his brothers is when the full moon beckons they morph into satyrs, at which time they spring a second male appendage. This makes for an interesting mating session for Nick and his new wife who insists on being Nick's wife and his mistress. Nick has a very needy sexual appetite.

The point of the book is for Jane to be protected by Nicholas through breeding with him. She has to battle with her human family, which really aren't blood relations.

I've already began the second story of this trilogy and it's proving to be even more interesting. And by interesting I mean kinky.

The Darkest Fire (Lords of the Underworld, Prequel) by Gena Showalter

This was a short prequel to Gena's upcoming Lords of the Underworld series.

It was a very good sneak peek to the lives of where the demons in her story are going to be coming from. It seems like a great theme for the series. I'm really looking forward to where Gena takes this series. She was so generous to post the first 3 chapters of the upcoming The Darkest Night due to release May 1, 2008.

Midnight Rising (The Midnight Breed, Book 4) by Lara Adrian

This is the second book of this second book of this series that I've read. I should probably go back and read the first 2 books of this series.

This was a great book! I loved the romance story in this book. Rio who's a damaged man who is having a hard time getting beyond the death of his deceiving dead wife. He's holed himself up in a large cave on the side of a foreign land and in walks Dylan, who's on a vacation for her dying mother, because she saw a dead ghost lady who lead her to the cave where Rio is holed up.

It was a great story with lots of awesome details. The thought that Lara put into this story amazed me. Not only were the characters awesome but everything just wrapped together nicely.
