At Grave's End: Review

At Grave's End
(Night Huntress Series #3)
by Jeaniene Frost

Some things won't stay buried . . . at grave's end


It should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield's life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she's successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead. But though Cat's worn disguise after disguise to keep her true identity a secret from the brazen bloodsuckers, her cover's finally been blown, placing her in terrible danger.


As if that wasn't enough, a woman from Bones's past is determined to bury him once and for all. Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat's about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she's learned as a special agent won't help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself—and Bones—from a fate worse than the grave.

First Line: The man smiled and I let my gaze linger over his face.

Favorite Line(s): n/a

My Review: At Grave's End does not fail the reader when it comes to action! This book is filled the rim with action. Makes me totally think I can be Cat... okay it is nice to have dreams... more like fantasies! Never a dull moment in the life of Cat and Bones, these two might want to schedule in a long over due vacation. The one thing this book is lacking from the other two is the hot love scenes, dare I say this one was mild compared to the other two.

Zombie Queen of Newbury High: Review


by Amanda Ashby

A prom night Mia will never forget...


"Quiet, unpopular, non-cheerleading Mia is blissfully happy. She is dating super hot football god Rob, and he actually likes her and asked her to prom! Enter Samantha—cheerleading goddess and miss popularity— who starts making a move for Rob. With prom in a few days, Mia needs to act fast. So she turns to her best friend, Candice, and decides to do a love spell on Rob. Unfortunately, she ends up inflicting a zombie virus onto her whole class, making herself their leader! At first she is flattered that everyone is treating her like a queen. But then zombie hunter hottie Chase explains they are actually fattening her up, because in a few days, Mia will be the first course in their new diet. She's sure she and Chase can figure something out, but she suggests that no one wear white to prom, because things could get very messy.

Zombie Queen of Newbury High was a fast, clever and witty story! The characters had sass, and Almanda Ashby nailed the attitudes of teenager's to a tee! This is my first book I have read with zombies, and it was just enough, glad it wasn't over the top in gore or anything! A great read!

Undead and Uneasy: Review

Undead and Uneasy by Mary Janice Davidson is the 6th book in the series about Betsy, Queen of the Vampires.
" You are cordially invited to the wedding of Elizabeth Anne Taylor and Sinclair
607 Summit Avenue
Midnight
July 4,2007
RSVP by June 25, and don't be one of those jerks who doesn't RSVP and then shows up with three people. Seriously.

" In the days leading up to The Big Day, Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor seems to have a full house- and the wedding guests have yet to arrive. Along with her human buddies, there's a ghost, a werewolf, and a Fiend crashing at her place. And though her finance, Vampire King Eric Sinclair, convenient disappears when the conversation turns to seating charts and flower arrangements, he does manage to make his oh-so-sexy presence known at other moments.

" Betsy knows the next few weeks won't be smooth sailing- but she never expects just what's in store for her. Cold feet are no surprise, especially with an undead groom. But when Sinclair truly goes missing-and- not just to avoid wedding preparations- along with most of her friends and loved ones. Betsy is frantic. Alone and afraid for the fate of everyone she loves, Betsy can't trust anyone as she tries to find them and whoever is behind all the disappearance."


"And what happens next will shake the foundation of the vampire world forever in the best selling series that "breath[es] new life into conventional vampire lore".

In this book, Queen B has her skills as the Vampire Queen to the test, does she have what it takes...

Oh yes she does!! I was reading this book in the courtyard of my sons school waiting for him to get out of class, and I actually laughed out loud that another mom came up to me to see what I was reading! I love when a book actually gets you to laugh out loud, or cry... any kind of physical emotion... the best!

What will one girl do for loved ones.... pick up this book and find out! I give this book 4 1/2 stars... oohhhh that might be the highest rank I have given so far.

Until next time...
Happy Reading!

Undead and Unpopular: Review


" I tapped my pencil on the pad, trying to come up with a plan to tell my fiance, Eric Sinclair, that I had decided to completely give up the blood-drinking thing. I figured being the vampire queen had a few advantages- as it was, every vampire I'd ever known had to drink every day, even Eric. But I could go up to a week without so much as a drop of O-neg. So, in honor of my birthday, and being in this job for a year, I figured I'd give it up completely. I would be in a blood-free zone!"


" Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor already has plenty on her plate. For one thing, next week is her birthday- the big 3-1 in human years, and one in undead years. ( Yes, she bit the dust on her birthday last year). On top of that, she still has wedding plans to finalize- and it's not helping that the prospective groom is avoiding anything to do with it. And them there's her decision to stop drinking blood- something she has yet to share with Eric Sinclair, her fiance- who also happens to be the vampire king....
" So the last thing she wants to deal with is uninvited guests, even if they happen to be the powerful European vampires who have finally come to pay their respects the week before her birthday. Some of them don't want Betsy as their queen and will do anything to get rid of her. As if turning thirty last year ( not to mention dying) hadn't been traumatic enough. And trying to give up blood is making her really cranky... But who has time to sulk?"

Mary Janice Davidson is back in full swing in this book! I knew she could do it! This book was back to it's quicky self. Queen Betsy never has a good week, in fact with each passing week she has, she is certain it is the worst week of her undead life! I found myself feeling a lot of different emotions while reading this book, sad, amused and always entertained! I am giving this book 4 stars on my rating system, in case you haven't noticed, I don't give 5 stars very easily!

This book falls into these reading challenges:

Go check them out, see how my progress is on each challenge, and maybe sign up for yourself!

Until next time....
