Your Turn December Edition
December 7, 2007
Well, it's been a rough week, but with the weekend looming I only see blue skies and sunshine (in my mind...out my window I see snow, ice, wind and snow plows). This week we were Enchanted, gave out some kudos, heard from the WW Ladies and friends and found out that size 2 is not fat. So, to finish things off, here's my reads of the week.
First up is a mystery from Clea Simon, Cries and Whiskers. Yes, a cat book, but no talking, smart alecky cat here. This third book in the Theda Krakow series, has freelance journalist Theda following the music scene and discovering a new designer drug. When an animal rights friend is killed by a hit and run driver, Theda finds things aren't always the way they seem and events all around her seem to be on a collision course. Theda's love for her furry Musetta shines through, but the amateur sleuthing is all Theda. This series is here to stay and Cries and Whiskers is a terrific read for the mystery lover in us all.
Next I picked up Patrice Michelle’s Scions: Resurrection to look closer at the cover (yeah, it needed a closer look) and then I couldn’t put it down. Finished it the same day. Patrice colors us a world with Jachin Black, a vampire who hires himself out as an assassin. It’s a dark and gloomy place for vampires (humans think they're extinct) until Jachin hears about Ariel Swanson, an author who wrote a fictional vampire story based on true events that had vampires slaughtering humans in the past. Ariel wrote it for cathartic reasons, but Jachin reads in it the prophecy he heard from a dying man. Hoping to save his clan’s future, he kidnaps Ariel to fulfill the prophecy. This is the first book in the Scion series, but next one won’t be out soon enough for me.
So, how was your week? Did you manage to get any reading done with the holidays fast approaching?
Bottom Line: When you cross a cat with a vampire, do you get a furry, fanged creature with four legs and a tail or a furry, fanged creature with two legs and a ....well, not exactly a tail, but...hmmm, cue visual.
Once again, any problems posting, just send your comments to me and I'll be glad to post them for you.
