Definitely Dead: Review

Definitely Dead

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #6)

by Charlaine Harris

"Sookie Stackhouse, the telepathic waitress of Bon Temps, La., is off to (pre-hurricane) New Orleans to close out her dead cousin Hadley's apartment. Hadley's death six weeks earlier had been unexpected, since, as a vampire, she was already dead. Still, she'd led a lively existence as the main squeeze of the Queen of Louisiana, an omnisexual vampire, whose political marriage to the King of Arkansas occurred the night before Hadley's demise. Sookie and Amelia Broadway, Hadley's landlady and a pretty cool witch, immediately discover a mess of trouble left behind in Hadley's closet, and Sookie's soon neck-deep in even more."

Definitely Dead is another good addition to Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire series. Just when you think there can't be anymore bad luck in store for Sookie, she wakes up and faces a new day with all new challenges. This book has a lot of the same characters from previous books in the series, but we meet a whole new line of paranormal characters as well. Never a dull moment in Sookie's life, or the reader who is holding tight to this book.

I am giving this book 4 stars and this book falls into these reading challenges...

Dead to the World: Review

Dead to the World

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #4)

by Charlaine Harris

Synopsis:

When cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, she doesn't just drive on by. Turns out the poor thing hasn't a clue who he is, but Sookie does. It's Eric the vampire--but now he's a kinder, gentler Eric. And a scared Eric, because whoever took his memory now wants his life.

Ladies, would we not take Eric anyway we could get him, but yowzer, nicer and gentler.... is it too good to be true?

I loved this book because it was nice to see the focus being on a smaller character, Eric. Seeing him and Sookie play out their relationship ( in whatever form it takes) is a nice turn in the story line, clean and fresh!

I am givng Dead to the World 4 stars and it falls into these reading challenges....

Club Dead: Review

Club Dead

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #3)

by Charlaine Harris

From Booklist:

Sookie Stackhouse is having man trouble. Her vampire boyfriend, Bill, has been distant and inattentive lately. Then he announces that he is going on a business trip, which clearly is more than it seems. After a werewolf tries to abduct Sookie at work, Bill's boss, Eric, tells her that Bill fell under the sway of his--Bill's, that is--ex, a sexy vamp named Lorena, and has been kidnapped. Eric wants Sookie's help in getting Bill back, and despite her hurt over Bill's betrayal, Sookie agrees to go to Jackson, Mississippi, to find her wayward lover. Eric has persuaded Alcide, a dashing werewolf, to get Sookie access to Josephine's, aka Club Dead, the local hangout of Jackson's supernatural element. In between dodging kidnappers, the advances of amorous Eric, and her growing feelings for Alcide, Sookie has to find out who kidnapped Bill and figure out a way to rescue him.

Just when you thought there was no room for more supernatural characters in the series, Charlaine Harris proves she can make room! This book has it all if you are into paranormal characters! how come Sookie gets all the dudes, who cares if they are Vampires and now a Werewolf, a hot dude is a hot dude!

Club Dead is getting 4 stars from me and it falls into these reading challenges....

Never Been Witched: Review

Never Been Witched

(Triplet Witch Trilogy, Book 3)

by Annette Blair

"She'll make him a believer"...

Three's a charm, and the third Cartwright sister, Destiny is certainly not lacking. However, she is troubled by her attraction to paranormal debunker Morgan Jarvis. Destiny opts out of a week in his company, hoping that a meditative stay alone at her sister's lighthouse will shed some light on her contrary feelings and her psychic gifts.

Unbeknownst to Destiny, her sly sister also left keys with the unsuspecting Morgan. Late one night, they literally stumble upon each other-- and the lighthouse's ghostly inhabitants. Destiny and Morgan have nothing in common other than the one bed they need to share and some crazy physical attraction. Raising the dead might be easier than trying to make these two opposites work together, but Destiny has experience-- and love - on her side"...

There is no pleasing everyone 100% of the time, and sometimes you have to strike out. With that said I did like this book, but I didn't love it like the others I have read by Annette Blair. For some reason I never felt connected to the characters, and Destiny seemed to be a little weaker than the other main character's in the series, and that was one thing I really liked about these books. Strong, fun and witty main female characters. Destiny is lacking when it comes to her sisters ( triplets).

The book was still light and a fast read, and that always gives extra points to the book, but when I got to the end of the story, I wasn't bummed.

I give this book 4 stars and it falls into these reading challenges...

Sex and the Psychic With: Review

Sex and the Psychic Witch

(The Triplet Witch Trilogy, Book 1)

by Annette Blair

Synopsis:

Introducing the Cartwright sisters-Harmony, Destiny and Storm-triplets and unstoppable seductresses.

Harmony, the buyer for her sisters' vintage curio shop, can read objects and learn of their former owners. Now, a Celtic ring leads her to a castle on the coast of Massachusetts. King Paxton's money-pit is cursed, and he hopes that this leggy blonde can help him find peace with an angry ghost, a disgruntled renovation crew-and his own heart.

My Review:

I love, love, love Annette Blair lately. This is the 4th book I have read from her and I engulfed it. I love how her leading characters ( women) are all strong and confindent ladies. Something every women should be or strive to be.

This book has just the right amount of paranormal story line, with a hot headed romance as well. There are two more in this series and I am going to pick them up from the library today... so I am sure in the next few days you will be seeing my review on both of them.

Do yourself a favor and pick up this book!!

Sex and the Psychic Witch gets 5 stars from me and falls into these reading challenges...
