Review:I love the continuing story of Black Dagger Brotherhood! In this book, it's all about Vishous, one of my favorite Brothers. We see his beginnings and learn some interesting truths about him. John Matthew, Qhuinn, and Blaylock become great friends and look out for one another. I love the first meeting between JM and Xhex so hot! I'm working my way thru BDB books to be ready for newest book Lover At Last.
Items Claimed:
Misc~Emergency Vehicle:But then the ambulance sirens came up the driveway. Page 24
Weather~Snow:Snow lingered on the lawns, stubbornly hanging in over ground that was still frozen solid. Page 112
Body Parts~Toe:He tried to pretend that he didn't need this feel of someone beside him, that he wasn't eased as he lay head-to-toe with another person, that he didn't care about the warmth and weight against his body. Page 136
Clothing~Hood:Across the vast floor a pair of Chosen came through gold doors with a white hooded robe hanging between them. Page 310

Review:I don't like to give bad reviews, I REALLY don't. People put their time and energy in the writing of their books, so I don't like to sound mean.
I was happy to be finished this book, for me it just never did it. For someone else they might highly enjoy it. The funny thing is I found the concept interesting, but how it was presented to me well, not to lie, bored me.
I had to add more: I never connected with the characters, I didn't like them. I'm sorry your kids and others have been kidnapped, lets start looking at each with potential feelings. Lets toss some romance into the book, which just felt awkward and out of place, and stop calling her "kiddo"
Sorry all end rant!!
Items Claimed:
Emergency Vehicle: I have ambulances on the way to transport these people to county hospital down the hill San Berdo. (Page 84)
Moonlight: Awakening as he did into nearly complete darkness, his eyes automatically adjusted to the gloom which was illuminated only by moonlight through the window and by a thin strip of light seeping from beneath his suit door; illumination from the corridor (Page 48, and hello LONG sentence)
Necklace: She wore feathered turquoise earrings of North American design and a necklace of beaded turquoise. (Page 169)
Curly Hair: Damp, dark curly hair curled onto bare tanned shoulders beaded with moisture. (Page 204)

Review:
I got this as a free download for my Kindle, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. For the most part, I enjoyed the book, although there were some issues that led me to give a lower rating. The amount of detail Jones goes into had both a positive and negative effect on my enjoyment of the story. At times, it serves to draw you into the story to where you can actually see in your mind what is going on and feel what Emily is feeling. At other times, the vast amount of detail is simply not necessary and just draws out a scene that doesn't need to be prolonged.
I would also say Emily had a few TSTL moments, although some of that could probably be forgiven considering she's potentially the last person alive and probably not thinking too clearly. It annoyed me at the time though.
All that being said, I did find this to be an enjoyable and quick read and think it's a promising start to a series.
Items
Emergency Vehicle - Kindle Loc. 3202 "A single police car, its front driver's side..."
Lightning - Kindle Loc. 4111 "...from a lightning strike or something as simple..."
Toe - Kindle Loc. 3674 "...her waist and tried to touch her toes."
Sock - Kindle Loc. 3077 "...pulled off her panties and socks..."

Review:This is a good book to read but I hate reading books in the middle or end of the series. Because I feel like I missed out on some important information.
Items Claimed
Weather~Rainbow:That's it. Rainbows. Page 160
Body Parts~Nose:I scamper back to my body and hold my face to the nose to make sure its still breathing. Pages 85-86
Misc~Fruit:They should be careful: pineapples are expensive enough that I've only ever had it canned. Page 26


I hate when that happens good luck on your search for a new book.

Review: I really enjoy this series. Not sure how Roberts writes so many books. You have Eve who is tough as nails haunted by memories of her childhood, who is facing a serial killer from her past Julianna Dunne. Julianna is out for payback and goes after Roarke. Eve and Roarke are such a great couple and Peabody just cracks me up.
Rainbow: pg 213 "...filled with a rainbow of flowers."
Sock: pg 68 "...wearing one brown sock..."
Tail: pg 52 "...flicked his tail..."
Cake: pg 21 "where the hell'd you get that cupcake"

Review:
I've put off reading this for a long time mainly because I think the cover is just awful. However, I'm so glad I finally gave it a chance because it was so good! The characters are vivid. The book is extremely well-written, and the world building is excellent. I'm already emotionally connected to the characters, and that hardly ever happens with the first book, at least not this strongly! I will be reading book 2 as soon as I possibly can!!
Items
Rainbow - Kindle Loc. 2611 "...blades flashing an endless rainbow of colors."
tail - Kindle Loc. 1128 "His tail whipped against the mountain."
Cake - Kindle Loc. 4018 "...sketched the perfect bridal cake for you."

Review: The start was a little slow and it dragged on slightly, but in the end I found it interesting enough to continue on.
You got the English, America, traitors and spys, a midwife and a little bit of romance.
Words:
Rainbow: He looked like you'd handed him the gold at the end of the rainbow when you two came inside. KL: 3877
Toe: Still chewing or sipping, they faced him, their identical blue eyes sweeping him from head to toe as though he were the next course. KL: 273

That's funny I've done the same. I have it on audio and I keep passing over it for something else.

Review: After reading two back to back major tug at your emotions books, I needed something lighter. Something to entertain me. Which is what this book did.
It's like a futuristic fairytale. America is a strong person, who is still herself through it all. She doesn't try to fake it, she doesn't go over board with all she is given during the selection process, the gowns, jewels and makeup. In the end she still wants to look and feel like her.
Word:
Snow: America, it was covered in snow! (KL: 4601)

Week 10 Snow
