Thirsty - M.T. Anderson
Seriously, not much to it. Guys might like it a bit more than girls would.
Frostbitten (Women of the Otherworld, #10) - Kelley Armstrong
I took my time with this book and just let myself enjoy it. I love the series, but Elaina and Clay are my favorite characters so I was excited to get back into their world. By book 10 most series have started to fall short, but after book 9 and 10 I think Kelley Armstrong is doing a wonderful job at keeping her stories fresh and exciting. It was well written.. (I know a lot of these supernatural books are cheesy and light, but Armstrong has the ability to put together a well written novel instead of just a fun fluff read.
Tempted (House of Night #6) - P.C. Cast
I luv me some P.C. Cast. (Awe, look, the twins have rubbed off on me.)
The Van Allen Legacy (Blue Bloods, #4) - Melissa de la Cruz
I liked this one better than the others. She's continuing to become a better writer with each book as I've said in the past. This one did a much better job at working up to a climax and then actually having something big happen (that didn't end in a page). I'm sure she'll continue to get better, but it's nice to see her progressing.
Undead and Unwed (Undead, #1) - MaryJanice Davidson
I was laughing most of the time. It was hilarious. It's absolute fluff and there's no reason to read it other than to have a good laugh. Most males will probably fail to find it funny, but if you're looking to de-stress and just enjoy something trivial this will do wonders for you.
Undead and Unemployed (Undead, #2) - MaryJanice Davidson
Undead and Unappreciated (Undead, #3) - MaryJanice Davidson
Hehe. Conversations with Satan at Orange Julius. I should have known there was something wrong with that place.
Undead and Unreturnable (Undead, #4) -MaryJanice Davidson
Undead and Unpopular (Undead, #5) - MaryJanice Davidson
Undead and Uneasy (Undead, #6) - MaryJanice Davidson
Undead and Unworthy (Undead, #7) - MaryJanice Davidson
Undead and Unwelcome (Undead, # 8) - MaryJanice Davidson
Sleeping with the Fishes (Fred the Mermaid, #1) - MaryJanice Davidson
Swimming Without a Net (Fred the Mermaid, #2) - MaryJanice Davidson
Fish Out of Water (Fred the Mermaid, #3) - MaryJanice Davidson
Derik's Bane - MaryJanice Davidson
The Royal Treatment (Alaskan Royal Family, #1) - MaryJanice Davidson
I enjoy MJD, but all her characters are exactly the same. Betsy, Fred, Christina... all the same girls, with very minor differences. I'd like to see her try something new.
The Royal Pain (Alaskan Royal Family, #2) - MaryJanice Davidson
Just a tinsy bit better than book !. The chemistry is better between the main characters.
The Royal Mess (Alaskan Royal Family, #3) - MaryJanice Davidson
This is my favorite of the series.
Dead Over Heels - MaryJanice Davidson
A collection of 3 short stories that go along with the Undead and Fred the Mermaid series. They were all cute.
Drop Dead, Gorgeous! (Gorgeous, #2) - MaryJanice Davidson
Not very good.
Really Unusual Bad Boys -MaryJanice Davidson
Valentine's Day Is Killing Me - MaryJanice Davidson, Leslie Esdaile, and Susanna Carr
Dark Prince (Carpathians, #1) - Christine Feehan
If there had been more to the plot it could have had potential. I liked the last Carpathians book I read (#14), but I wasn't thrilled with this one. It seemed like it dragged a bit (what plot there was between romance scenes). I'll keep trying some in hopes that the plot sections get better. Plus, I've already checked most of the series out and I feel like I have to read them because of that.
Dark Desires (Carpathians, #2) - Christine Feehan
Dark Magic (Carpathians, #4) - Christine Feehan
Ya, I know, I read them out of order. I started reading book 4 and then realized it wasn't book 3. Oh well. I figured I should just keep reading since I was already 50 pages in.
I'm starting to find a pattern with these books. It's almost like the girl is getting rapped in each one. Ya, so she's found her lifemate, her other half in the context of the book, and the guy always just has to have her. Well, the girl always says no the first time even though part of her feels some connection to the guy (duh, it's her other half...i get it...) but the guy has his way with her anyway. I'm sorry! She said no! To continue constitutes rape. And this lady got awards for her romantic stories. I'm sorry, but rape isn't romance. Now, in the later ones I happened to have read this wasn't the case, but in books 1,2, and 4 it is. (I'm sure I'll see it in the third one too). So, afterward the girl is always pissed off and I would be too, but by the end of the story all is well. In the context of the story one half can't survive without the other, but if they're truly that connected the guy should stop and control his "animal instincts." Can authors avoid having their main characters be raped by someone that loves them and then have everything be okay? It seems like people could get the idea that it's okay as long as the person who did it is their "soul mate". If they're your soul mate they'd back off and let you go at your own pace.
Evernight (Evernight, #1) - Claudia Gray
Odd twist to the vampire story. I enjoyed it.
Stargazer (Evernight, #2) - Claudia Gray
Red Rose and Snow White: A Grimms Fairytale - Grimm Brothers
Read to the class. Better than Halloween, but still not a good book.
Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #1) - Laurell K. Hamilton
A Touch of Dead - Charlaine Harris
A compilation of short stories from the Sookie Stackhouse series. The books are much better.
Grave Secret (Harper Connelly, #4) - Charlaine Harris
Harper can sense dead people. She can feel where bodies are and is able to "see" the last few moments before someone's death and/or what they died of. In this book, Harper finally figures out what happened to her sister who has been missing since high school. It's no better or worst than the previous Harper books. You get exactly what you expected.
Chocolate - Joanne Harris
Cute. I had a hard time getting the movie characters out of my head and just letting the book take over. Because of that, I never managed to become fully consumed by the book.
Beauty (A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast) - Robin McKinley
It was beautiful. If you like the story of Beauty and the Beast you should like this.
The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
Seriously, not much to it. Guys might like it a bit more than girls would.

I loved it and thought it was amazingly well written. It's absolutely beautiful and it made me cry more than once.
Evermore (The Immortals, #1) - Alyson Noel
LOVED it! It's cute and interesting. I didn't want to put it down.
Blue Moon (The Immortals, #2) - Alyson Noel
Tall, Dark, and Fangsome (Immortality Bites, #5) - Michelle Rowen
I'm sorry to hear that this is the last book in the series. I liked Thierry and Quinn.
The Alchemyst (Nicholas Flammel, #1) - Michael Scott
I wasn't really pulled in by the book. I'll see if book #2 gets any better because I'm the type of person that just has to finish a series, but I labored through this one.
Halloween - Jerry Seinfeld
It's a kids book. The kids liked it. I hated it.
Secret Vampire (Night World, #1) - L.J. Smith
I liked James' character. It makes a better short story than a book, but it's cute. The climax is not exactly a big deal. However, the series looks really interesting.
Daughters of Darkness (Night World, #2) - L.J. Smith
Spellbinder (Night World, #3) - L.J. Smith
Storm Glass (Glass, #1) - Maria V. Snyder
Really interesting. I liked the technical explanations of glass making mixed with the fantasy storyline. The main character is a girl who can instill magic into glass. In the beginning of the book she's able to create animal pieces that can be used for communication (like a phone). As the story continues and the drama unfolds, she discovers that she can do a lot more than she ever would have imagined. I think that both males (probably) and females could get interested in this one.
Kitty Raises Hell (Kitty Norville, #6) - Carrie Vaughn
It was a lot of fun
