Usual Suspects: Stories of Mystery and Fantasy (Sookie Stackhouse, #8.1) - Dana Stabenow

I wasted my time.

Bite (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #8.5; Sookie Stackhouse, #5.1; Mageverse, #3) - Laurell K. Hamilton

Some of these were really good. I liked most of the stories.

Many Bloody Returns (The Dresden Files, #9.1; Sookie Stackhouse, #7.1) - Charlaine Harris

I was indifferent to it. Nothing amazing, but some of you might enjoy it.

Hot Blooded (Carpathians, #14; Mageverse, #1) - Christine Feehan

I liked the Carpathians story. This was a little too "hot" for my preferences.

Blood Lite (Dark Hunter, #9; The Dresden Files #10) - Kevin J. Anderson

Not worth reading at all.

Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville, #1) - Carrie Vaughn

Kitty Goes to Washington (Kitty Norville, #2) - Carrie Vaughn

Kitty Takes a Holiday (Kitty Norville, #3) - Carrie Vaughn

Kitty and the Silver Bullet (Kitty Norville, #4) - Carrie Vaughn

The series is light easy reading, but I really enjoy it. It's good to just relax with and have a fun read. Some of you might find it a little cheesy, but there's something about it I enjoyed and I'll keep reading them.

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) - Richelle Mead

Frosbite (Vampire Academy, #2) - Richelle Mead

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) - Richelle Mead

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) - Richelle Mead

I just picked up the series on a whim not expecting it to be anything but cheesy, but I've fallen in love with it. I'm already waiting for the next one impatiently. Book 3 was my favorite.

Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, #1) - Richelle Mead

Absolutely loved it. Read it! Enough said...

Marked (House of Night, #1) - P.C. Cast

Betrayed (House of Night, #2) - P.C. Cast

Chosen (House of Night, #3) - P.C. Cast

Untamed (House of Night, #4) - P.C. Cast

Hunted (House of Night, #5) - P.C. Cast

I really liked this series. They end a little oddly, but that's because the next book picks up right were the last one left off so the transition straight from one to the next. I'm not sure what it is about the series that has grabbed me, but I really got behind Zoey. I'm also loving Eric, but I feel sorry for the poor guy. The next book is out at the end of October and I plan to go to a signing in November. I'm looking forward to meeting the author.

Goddess of the Sea (Goddess Summoning, #1) - P.C. Cast

I was tentative with this one when I started, but the author managed to pull me in. I thought it was fun. And it got me interested in the rest of the series.

Site Unseen: An Emma Fielding Mystery - Dana Cameron

It was okay. I might read more, but I'm not sure yet.

Mysteria - Mary Janice Davidson

Mysteria Lane - Mary Janice Davidson

These were fun. I like the witch sisters.

Blue Bloods ( Blue Bloods, #1) - Melissa de la Cruz

Masquerade (Blue Bloods, #2) - Melissa de la Cruz

Revelations ( Blue Bloods, #3) - Melissa de la Cruz

I like the idea behind the books, but the author is still learning. Each book gets a little better, but she's not there yet. In the first book there's this big build and then you find out that the climax was the big build up. Each book after that, there's a bit more of a distinctive "climax" to the book, but I don't feel like she's there just yet. The stories are interesting enough that I'll keep reading to see how she progresses, but I wouldn't reread them.

Murder With Peacocks (Meg Langslow, #1) - Donna Andrews

Bitten & Smitten (Immortality Bites, #1) - Michelle Rowan

So adorable!
