Dark Desires After Dusk (The Immortals After Dark, Book 5) by Kresley Cole

Started this yesterday and finished it yesterday!
LOVE KRESLEY COLE!!!!

OMG, this was an amazing book! It was non stop action. I love me some action!

Summary per Amazon.com:

A seductive beauty he can
never have, yet can't resist...

Cadeon Woede will stop at nothing to atone for the one wrong that will haunt him forever. But once he secures the key to his redemption, the halfling Holly Ashwin, Cade finds that the woman he thought he could use for his own ends and then forget haunts him as much as his past.

A tormented warrior she should fear, but can't deny...

Raised as a human, Holly never knew that some frightening legends are real until she encounters a brutal demon who inexplicably guards her like a treasure. Thrust into a sensual new world of myth and power, with him as her protector, she begins to crave the demon's wicked touch.

Surrender to dark desires...

Yet just when he earns Holly's trust, will Cade be forced to betray the only woman who can sate his wildest needs -- and claim his heart?

Again, nothing but action. Holly is an honest women most women can relate to. Cadeon is a egotistical male demon too handsome to hate. He truly does a 180 in personality all for the better.

15/10!

The City of Ember (The First Book of Ember) by Jeanne DuPrau

I decided to read this book because I saw a trailer about the book becoming a movie.

The book was amazing. It took a while to actually figure out that the city was underground and cut off from the rest of the world. The book seems like it might be a bit better than the upcoming movie.

Summary (spoilers!):

Lina and Doon are friends that just turned 12, which means they are off to work now. Lina trades professions with Doon so he can be a Pipeworker and she can be a Messenger. The city is completely dark, lit only by light bulbs that are powered by the generator that is powered by the river that runs under the City of Ember. Lina finds a note with instructions for finding the way out of Ember. The instructions were to be in the hands of the mayor but due to a sudden death of a mayor the instructions were left at the house that Lina lives in. She works with a few others, including Doon, to figure out what the letter says. There are parts missing because Lina's little sister, Poppy, was in the process of eating the document before Lina took it from her.

Lina and Doon work very well together. They end up finding the "egress" and flee Ember with Poppy and a warrent on them. They exit from underground during the night. The next day they look for another entrance into Ember because they forgot to leave the note they wrote so that someone would be able to tell the others of Ember so they too can join them. That's where the book ends, a friend of Lina's picks up the sack they threw down to Ember.

My thoughts:


Now I must get the next book to find out what happens! It was so well written. It reminded me of a Lois Lowry book. The movie will be good and entertaining. I hope others get to read the book as well.

10/10!

The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld, Book 3) by Gena Showalter

Another amazing book by the lovely Gena Showalter.

Loved this book. Reyes quest to obtain Danika was unlike the other Lord's adventure to acquire their loves.

Danika's spunk and ability to take it all in helped with Reyes overcoming his issues with having Danika as a lover. With his demon of Pain he was afraid of corrupting her into hurting herself or others around her as he had experience with in the past with other women.

Danika proves to be more than just Reyes other half. She's one of the artifacts that the Gods, the Lords, and the Hunters are searching for.

Cannot wait for the next book, which is The Darkest Whisper (Sabin's story) due to release May 2009. Sabin's story?!!?!? I want Paris's story. It's touched on so many times in this book I was really hoping to find out how Paris's story gets resolved!

10/10!
