MY WOLF’S BANE by Veronica Blade

Different species.  Mortal enemies. It'll never work, but they'll die trying.

Autumn Rossi thought she was a normal teenager. Suddenly, she can outrun every critter in the forest; making her wonder if she’s even human.

When the new guy at school, Zack de Luca, witnesses a questionable scene, he unfairly pins her as stuck-up. He acts like he hates her, yet he keeps bailing her out of trouble. Not only is Zack both insufferable and irresistible, he seems to sniff her anytime he gets close.

As passion flares between them, Autumn isn’t sure which is more dangerous: her psycho ex-boyfriend, or falling for Zack --- who’s risking his life just by being near her.

Kiss of Blood (Vamp City #2) by Pamela Palmer - Review!

Quin Lennox found herself lucky last time, managing to escape the alternate world of Vamp City.  But that world isn’t quite done with her.  They need her powers to restore the magic of their world and free the vampires currently bound there. Vampire Arturo Mazza is sent to bring her back, and Quinn has learned her lesson than to trust him again after his betrayal.  However this time Vamp City has some leverage, her brother.  She has to return to save him, and Arturo’s all she’s got.  Has he learned the error of his ways? Or is she setting herself up for disappointment once again.

The first book was one of my favorite reads last year, so the sooner I could get my hands one, the better. Palmer’s morbid imagination really makes this series a standout to me, though I think certain dynamics of the first book didn’t sit well with everyone.  For this novel I think it has more mass appeal, but I had a gripe or two.  I guess the pace of the book was a bit of a problem for me.  They spend quite a bit of time talking about the final adversary and yet we don’t even see that stand-off in this book.  Cliffhanger enthusiasts should love it, but I can’t say the same for those of you who don’t.  I just wish it would have wrapped up the novel in a more serial fashion because towards the end I was anticipating a conflict I didn’t get. The book just kind of ended and that was that.

I do like her efforts to redeem Arturo.  I mean, sometimes the graphic and horrific things he endured got a little hard to stomach, but he had a lot of ground to make up and I think he did that.  Tish was okay. I never really had a problem with her, though her over protectiveness of her brother, while noble, got a little annoying after a while.  The chemistry between Tish and Arturo was s still immensely strong which certainly adds to their appeal.

I liked the history and back-story about the vampires and other supernatural’s that live in Washington, VC, learning of their gradual deterioration into what they have become and why.  It was thought-provoking and I was often conflicted about the best course of action to fix everything.

At this point I am sort of wondering if Palmer plans to make this a trilogy or if it’s an ongoing series.  If it’s a trilogy it certainly feels like a middle book.  I feel as if all the issues presented can certainly be resolved in one more.

I keep hearing about Sylvia Day but haven't read anything by her yet and I haven't read Hidden Crimes either. I will have to look it up.

So has anyone read Hidden Crimes by Emma Holly?
