Book Review: Bitten to Death By Jennifer Rardin


Bitten to Death
By Jennifer Rardin
4th Jaz Parks book


Jaz Parks here. My latest mission has taken me to the ancient Greek city of Patras; but instead of soaking up its splendor, I'm here to infiltrate a Vampere Trust. Only two vamps have ever escaped the tightly bound communities and lived to tell the tale: Edward "The Raptor"Samos, the most reviled criminal mastermind in recent memory, and Vayl, the CIA's number one assassin who also happens to be my boss. 
The Raptor is trying to take over Vayl's former Trust. Unfortunately the Trust's new leader has her own plans. This job is going to be the death of me.



Thursday Thoughts

So, I had a thought. Yes, I know, a dangerous affair. LoL And I'm going to title it...




Genius, yes? =) 
I was thinking for a fun post today I'd give you a picture and you can comment and tell me the first thought that pops into your head when you see it.

"Waiting On" Wednesday (5): Dreams of a Dark Warrior by Kresley Cole


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 





Dreams of a Dark Warrior


by Kresley Cole


Coming February 15, 2011


Immortals After Dark Series



He vowed he'd come for her. . .

Murdered before he could wed Regin the Radiant, warlord Aidan the Fierce seeks his beloved through eternity, reborn again and again into new identities, yet with no memory of his past livesonly an endless yearning.

She awaits his return. . .

When Regin encounters Declan Chase, a brutal Celtic soldier, she recognizes her proud warlord reincarnated. But Declan takes her captive, intending retribution against all immortalsunaware that he belongs to their world.

To sate a desire more powerful than death. . .

Yet every reincarnation comes with a price, for Aidan is doomed to die when he remembers his past. To save herself from Declan's torments, will Regin rekindle memories of the passion they once sharedeven if it means once again losing the only man she could ever love?


I'm itching to see what happens with Regin and her Berserker. She seemed so defeated in the last book, Demon from the Dark, and that is not like her at all.


On a side note though....I'm dying to hear something on Nix's story, from the small tidbits I've heard already I think it may cross over to Gena Showalter's LOTU and Torin. That would be delish, would it not? But I don't have the time to keep up to date on their forums/message boards. Has anyone heard anything? 


So what are you waiting for? Leave me a comment and lets me knows. Happy reading!

Book Review: Biting the Bullet By Jennifer Rardin


Biting the Bullet

By Jennifer Rardin
Bk3 Jaz Parks series




I'm Lucille Robinson 
(aka Jaz Parks).

This is a mission unlike anything my vampire boss, Vayl, and I have ever been on. It's not our usual take them out and run; it's an undercover mission that needs the whole gang: a psychic, an interpreter, and a weapons specialist. We're joining a Special Ops team to nail the Wizard, a major terrorist thorn in the military's side. We've never gone in with such heavy artillery before, but the more the merrier, right? Um . . . nope. At least not since Vayl and I learned part of our job is to ferret out a mole concealed in our unit.

To add to our problems, we're being harried by a pack of reavers bent on revenge, and targeted by a Seer who wants to share Vayl's power - at any cost. Oh yeah, and let's not forget the army of demonic, soul-sucking parasites either. This is going to be a blast.


Teaser Tuesday (Nov.16)


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!



"So...you're an assassin?" Dave asked incredulously.
"Why do I feel like you'd have used the same tone if I'd just confessed to being a stripper?" I demanded.

Mmm...Monday (11/15)


Today's Mmm...Monday is going to be a quickie. But those are nice every now and then. ;-)

I've been in a western kinda mood the last week so this week's man candy is going with that theme. And we get two this week because I couldn't make up my mind on them.


***IMAGES REMOVED***


***IMAGES REMOVED***


Only a couple new releases for tomorrow;


I so need to get caught up on the Immortals series, I haven't read the last book, Dark Flame, yet. 





And lastly, I have an important question for all you book bloggers and readers out there if you'd be so kind to help me out. 
When reading author interviews and guest posts on blogs what to do you like to hear about? Their new release? Series in general?  Favorite characters? About the author? Or an author take over on a post? Something else? 
If you could comment and let me know I would appreciate your thoughts on this. 

Have a lovely Monday and a fabulous week!
