Sex and the Single Vampire
February 17, 2014
This is the second book in the Dark Ones series. I found it quite boring and slow at first. It did pick up two-thirds of the way through though, so if you start it stick with it. You’ll probably have to skim until it becomes interesting (that’s what I did). The main problem for me was that I wasn’t interested in the storyline or the main female character (Allegra aka Allie). The story wasn’t exciting or alluring, and neither was she. Christian the love interest and main males character was fine; I kind of wish the book was more from his point of view. I think the story would have been more interesting. Christian is from the first book in the series (A Girl’s Guide to Vampires) and even though this book was about him finding his Beloved we really don’t learn anything new about him, which is disappointing. This book was a miss for me but I’m still continuing with the series because I’m pretty much stuck on Katie MacAlister right now. For some reason I keep wanting to give her another chance, so I do.
Sincerely,
Dana
A Window into My Soul
February 12, 2014
I love books. I love everything about them. The story, the way the paper looks and feels, the picture and colors on the cover, the feel of the weight of the book in my hand. I love how books have the ability to transport me into another world, no matter how similar or different it is to my own reality. Books have made me a dreamer, have caused me to want more out of life than just the mundane norm. As my first official blog, in general and on books specifically, I’ve decided to let everyone get to know me better through my favorite books. As a book lover it is hard for me to choose just one book in each genre, but I must admit that some books just mean more to me than others. They’ve stuck with me over the years (one in particular almost over two decades); they’ve become embedded in my heart; have changed my life in some inexplicable way. So here is a list of my all-time favorites in each story genre.
