Carnival of Fools

December 20, 2014 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

This is another VF read from earlier in the year, same month as Undead and Unwed. Hence reading two vamp romances at the same time. In similar fashion, the characters seem to have questionable intelligence. However, at least this one had two enjoyable enough mysteries intertwined with the romance. A Girl’s Guide to Vampires is the first entry in the Dark Ones series by Ms. MacAlister. Joy and her friend Roxy end up in eastern europe working a book fair (Can I haz your job, please!). They decided to […]

I’ve got a laser pointer, come out and PLAAAAAAAAAY!

My stepson was turned onto the Warriors series by a school friend.  The fact that I found this book mind-numbingly boring doesn’t take away from the awesomeness of that.

Yeah, I was fine. F*cked in Extreme, as Ivy would say.

Up to now I’ve been reviewing The Hollows series in chunks, because they’ve been so hard to put down, and have these multi book arcs that made made 3 or 4 book clusters make sense.  But, book 9, Pale Demon, is such a game changer that I’m going to review it on it’s own, and Black Magic Sanction will have to go unreviewed.  If you haven’t read the previous 8 books, don’t start here. Spoilers! When Pale Demon opens, Rachel has been shunned by the […]

A bratty vampire more concerned with about her shoe collection than being undead

December 19, 2014 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I like reading about vampires probably more than most, Twilight notwithstanding, but this series really tested my patience with its obnoxious protagonist Betsey. She is having the worst day at the start of this book. She loses her job, gets into a wreck and wakes up alive in the funeral home. The first thing she notices is that she’s wearing a tacky suit and bad shoes. Not at all like her closet of designer things. She doesn’t really freak out, but instead goes home as […]

There’s a shortage of perfect movies in the world. . .

If you have the chance to see Cary Elwes talk about his book, go, it’s well worth braving the crowd.  If you don’t get the chance, be jealous of me, I won’t hold it against you. I’m amazed I didn’t faint.
