Just a little update....

So I'm still reading Predatory Game since I've been swamped with work and have had little time to read, but I am really enjoying what i have read so far. I absolutely adore Kadan, he is just the cutest of them all. He is also the toughest and the one you don't want to run into when he is angry. Which I think is what makes him so cute because when it comes to Tansy he appears tough, but is putty in her hands when she knows what buttons to push. Which is why I enjoy Tansy because she appears fragile, but in reality is a very tough chick that can use her skills when she needs to. Her gift takes a massive toll on her, but yet she still uses it when she knows it can help people in need. Their relationship is also different then those that have come before them. It isn't as explosive as the ones before. Kadan has all the qualities and the pervious men, but Tansy isn't as explosive, but at the same time her feelings for him are very strong and she is determined to stay by his side. Explosive or not it is still melts my heart when they are together and interact. I'm well into the story and man is there a lot of things going on, but when I do get the chance to read i can't put it down. So that's all for now and I need to continue to read.

Predatory Game by Christine Feehan

I've recently finished Predatory Game the sixth installment of the Ghost Walker series. Our hero is Jesse Calhoun and our heroine is Saber Wynter. Now before I went into it my thoughts were why Jesse. When Jesse is first brought into the series he was Dahlia's handler, I didn't think much of him at the time. So I thought it was a bit unnecessary to have a whole book dedicated to him. Then we have Saber who has a powerful gift and a dangerous one at that. This I believe was the fault in our heroine, she had a dangerous gift, but it could also be used for good. But it didn't seem like she was willing to learn what it could be used for. She only know the bad sad and ran from it in a way, she has always been on the run and basically is scared of it. Now in the beginning of the book the two of them have been living together for some time now, but neither of them really knew what or who the other was. Again another flaw in the book. This created a rollercoaster of ups and downs that I just did not want to be apart of. I'm not saying it was the worse book in the world, but isn't in my top 10. There was jus constant back and forth between the two about her wanting to run away and him not letting her go, but seriously we all know she was never going to actually run away from him. Saber's personal demons were just always getting in the way and to top it off she ends up having a stalker that doesn't really have much to do in the story all it does is add more unnecessary drama. The biggest thing I didn't like was that she was trained to be an assian at a young age, but she let that completely ruin herself. Having lived with the things that she did can cause some serious damage, but at the same time I would have liked her to have more strength. There was also a lot of talking between to two of them, but my favorite parts were when the rest of the team was involved. IN the end though I did grow to like Jesse, but he still isn't my favorite and Saber was just lacking in spots in my eyes. All in all their story isn't really needed, but you do learn some very important information connected with Whitney and the damage that he continues to cause.

I'm back

So it feels like it has been forever since I last wrote a post, but in reality it's probably hasn't really been that long. Anyways I am out of my little slump and back on my way to finishing twenty books by the first day of classes. Being in a slump is never fun especially if you are like me and love reading every second you can. It can be hard with all my jobs and needing a little social time, but I always manage. Some may think I'm crazy, but come on reading about a different world is so much better than living the life I currently live. Anyways I am making my way throw Christine Feehan's Ghost Walker series. I was a little stuck on Gator's book Night Game, but was I was in I ran with it and couldn't stop reading. Then After Gator's book I moved on to Jack Norton's book Conspiracy Game. Let me just say I love when the hero is tortured and doesn't think he is right. Jack Norton is just that, coming from a family that is truly damaged. His father was obsessed with his mother and did not like her around anybody not even her own children. His father was so out of his mind that he eventually killed her. This would obviously caused issues in the future to both of the Norton twins. When it comes to falling in love Ken and Jack have no idea what they are doing. But one of the things that they do know is that they have each others back. The camaraderie between jack and Ken is so lovely and perfect that you look forward to when they interact with each other. I love a good set of twins and the Norton twins are PERFECT I love them so much. Now obviously Ken has to get a book and it follows up after Jack. Jack's heroine is Briony who was apart of a circus and had to deal everyday with the fact that she felt everything around her. Now on the opposite end Ken's heroine is Marigold, Briony's twin sister. How fitting that the twins would be paired up. Now Ken is known to be the easy going twin, the one everybody is friends with. In reality the image Ken shows is nothing of what he really is. He is extremely damaged inside and out, after being tortured and skinned alive in the Congo. Now Ken may not be the favorite twin after reading both of their books, but he is my favorite twin. Their is just something that I couldn't stop reading about. In the book he is suffering from PTSD and thinks that he is going to end up like his father. Both twins have this thought, but what they don't see is that their life experiences have stopped them from ending up like the old man. Now the heroines are completely opposite, Briony is sweet and slightly more submissive. Marigold on the other hand is dominant and won't do anything she doesn't want to do, she will fight with everything that she has. What I like about them is that they are different. Marigold was kept and continued to be experimented on in one of Whitney's compounds. Both very different, but at the same had to deal with a tortured life. At the end of Ken's book they finally meet and Mari doesn't know what to do. She has only lived the life of an experiment. I would live to see what would come in the future. I do hope that Feehan brings back these two couples and show how far they have gone. Now after loving Ken, Jack and Gator I am on to Jesse Calhoun. Jesse is apart of the SEAL Ghost Walkers, same as Ken and Jack. Jesse was mentioned in Nico's book, he was the handler for Dahlia. In that book he had been injured and became paralyzed from the knees down. He has his own book and I'm interested in what will come out of this book. He isn't as involved in the field anymore, so what is there that he could be doing. I have a feeling this book may be more informative instead of action so we will have to see.

What I've been up to...

So it's been a few days since I've gotten back from Mexico. It was a very relaxing trip full of sun and sitting by the pool. I started a new series at least new to me by Christine Feehan while I was there. it is her Ghost Walker series and boy am I in love with the heros in the story. I finished the first installment with Ryland and Lily and I was very pleased with how the relationship carried throughout the book. This has been a first for me in the adult generes where I am not reading about vampires. I was a bit worried about reading this series, but I have been preparing for it. I did this by picking authors that still had something along of vampires but not as much as like Ward. SO now I'm on Feehan and there are only enhanced group of men that have military backgrounds. The one thing that I truly love about this group of heroes. The way Feehan writes them interacting is just the best. I get the same feeling as when I read the interactions between the Brotherhood. They are a tough badass group of men, but tat the same time they are just a group of men that stick together and support one another. But of course there are the heroines and so far with the first two I was not disappointed. She was quirky, independent, adorable when she rambles on her own. When I started though I was a little slow to start it. I think it was because after reading the Moon and More I was a little sluggish. Once I got into it though I couldn't stop. I've read Shadow Game and Mind Game. out of the two Mind Game caught my attention more because of the hero Nicolas Trevane, he is the right hand to Ryland who is the leader of the group. There is plenty of action which in the past few months I really enjoy in a series. Now I am on the third installment which is called Night Game. The hero in the story is Gator and needless to say I am excited for his story. In previous appearances I have gotten the feeling that he is the type of character that you could just hang out with and have a good time with. And the heroine in the story is Flame and from the hints about her she seems like she is going to be a tough one. She is what they call an anchor. This means that she has stronger barriers and can control the bombardment of feelings coming at her from those around her. She also has simliar abilities as Gator which should make for interesting interactions. So hopefully I won't be disappointed, now to get reading.

What I've been up to

In the past week I've finished The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen. She is an all time favorite of mine, but this story did fall a little short in my eyes. Of course though I am a softy and I like a good romance any day. This story just fell short on that aspect. Other than that I have been packing for my upcoming trip to Mexico. I am very excited and I leave tomorrow. So in the week that I am gone I plan to be doing a lot of reading while sitting by the pool and relaxing. The first book on my list is Shadow Game by Christine Feehan. I am already half way into the book and I am loving it. The romance level is just what I like and being that this is the first book in the series it has a good amount of getting the general detail of the plot and adding a good mixture of action. I am fully prepared for my flight tomorrow and I already have the next four books in the series downloaded and in my reader. It is safe to say that I am ready for my week of relaxation.

Update

OK once again I have two books to talk about at once since I read both relatively quickly(I practically inhaled them both). So the books I'm talking about are Bound by Darkness and The Darkness Beyond.  Both are by Alexis Morgan and are truly fantastic. Our heroes are Larem (Bound by Darkness) and DJ (The Darkness Beyond). These two did not disappoint at all, I couldn't get enough. Lately I have been a sucker for the lonely characters and the underdog.
          Let me talk about Larem, he is Kaltih and he is considered a traitor in his world. He can across the barrier in Cullen's book with Lushan and the children. he was put in this world with no inclination of what would happen to him. He just knew that he couldn't go back. In his book it has been a few months and he is still unsure of how he fits in this new world. One of the best things about this book is that our heroine, Sasha, is sent by the Regents to asses the Seattle Paladins, so basically she decides their fates. She is a tough one, she can go up against the best of them and hold her own. During the whole book I was cheering for Larem. I didn't like him when he appeared in Cullen's and Lushan's book but I grew to love him when he got his own book. I felt for him and I really wanted him to get his happy ending. Sasha I had to grow to like, but it didn't take long, in the end she did prove herself. She is a tough one, but she had flaws like all heroines that just rubbed me the wrong way. What I love about the Kalith is the way they act towards love. Larem tells her upfront what he wants and that he won't be some secret for her. Barak had done the same thing in his book. I love when the hero doesn't beat around the bush. I cuts out some off the back and forth. Of course they eventually realize that they love the woman and will take whatever she is able to give. The best part of the book though is the surprise at in the last two chapters.
         Now lets talk about DJ(tech genius) and Reggie. Both are hackers and Reggie is the one that can actually beat DJ at his own game. I knew right away that I was going to like her, because when the heroine can one up the hero it makes for great interactions. In this book DJ has to go across the barrier to rescue her. I like the connection made there since Cullen went across the barrier, now it was DJ's turn to go across and save his women. I did feel that this installment had moved quickly, which I liked and there was a lot of interaction between DJ and Reggie. I love DJ just like I knew I would. He is the last of the main Paladins and man do I love him. He is a tough guy, but I felt like he missed his buds. All of them are paired up and he was the last one to find that special person to knock him off his feet. Reggie was very fitting, just the right amount of tough and, but still feminine at the same time and very funny at times. That is one thing that Morgan never disappoints in, her heroines always have the right amount of quirkiness. The end of the book is my favorite because even though DJ tries one last time to push her away after he comes back from death, she surprises him when he thinks she actually left. Reggie knew that she loved him and didn't want to let him go. In the book she says that he deserves someone to miss him and be there for him. Right there she earned a spot in my favorites. Now if only she could do the new recruits that made an appearance and Jake the tech genius from St. Louis, hopefully she will, I would like to read their stories.

Book 7:

Book 8:

Defeat the Darkness

So I finished Defeat the Darkness and I am very pleased with how it played out. Hunter is up there in my favorite characters that have a special place in my heart as well as Tate. She did have her moment that i was like 'seriously', she decided at the worst moment to get involved and cause the situation to ge worse. Which then leads to the relationship faulting and causing even more problems. Even with her mishaps I did really love her and was glad that she the was the type to stick up for herself and was able to put Hunter in his place when it was needed. One thing though with their relationship was that there was a constant feeling that Hunter shouldn't be with her. Most heroes have this feeling but for this story Morgan when a little bit more in the story. It's that constant thought of why not just give in to the feelings and accept what happen and adjust. Obviously the end result is they are together and they reach the thought of just giving into their feelings and taking the leap. When both characters finally realize that they deserve to be happy is always one of my favorite parts in a book. Now lets talk a little bit of the action and answers start to finally be answered. We find out who has been dealing with the blue stones and where the Others have been crossing from. Now it's time to find out how many have actually crossed without the Paladins knowing. The old problems have ended and now it's time for a little clean up.

Now to continue unwrapping the world that is the Paladins
