I just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the eighth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  Wow!  This book had the best ending of the books I’ve read in the series.  Hopefully I’m not spoiling anything by saying this, but this book (I felt) was a lot more violent and graphic [...]

My husband and I started reading this book by Lev Grossman in transit to Colorado.  This book has been billed as an adult Harry Potter and I have to say that I agree with this comparison.  I think the term “magician” might be a misnomer, since it’s a little more along the lines of magic [...]

started reading this book by Michele Bardsley, but I’m just not that into it and I’m putting it on hold for now.  I can’t seem to figure out if it’s the subject matter (maybe I’m just not that into Vampires right now?) or it’s the fact that Bardsley’s writing is so similar to MaryJanice [...]

Just finished reading this book by Charlaine Harris.  This is the most recent addition to the Sookie Stackhouse series.  I have to admit, I almost gave up on this series after I read the previous book, Dead and Gone.  It was so gratuitously violent that I almost didn’t think it brought any value to the [...]

Just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the seventh book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  This book was my second favorite of the series.  In this book, we see a softer side of Rehvenge as he courts Ehlena, the tough nurse from Haver’s clinic.  But Ehlena has much to learn about [...]

Just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the 6th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  This book was definitely the toughest to get through of the books I’ve read thus far.  This book dealt with a whole lot of normal vampire issues, but also drugs and addiction.  I cried at the [...]

Just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the fifth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  To me, this book seemed to have a little more drama than the violence we’ve seen in the other books that make up this series.
Vishous is at a crossroads in his life.  He’s no longer having [...]

Just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the fourth book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  This book was fantastic.  Much more action in the beginning than the other books.  Although it ended well, it wasn’t my favorite of the series.
This book followed Brian “Butch” O’Neil, our friendly Caldwell cop who has [...]

Just finished reading this book by J.R. Ward.  This is the third book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  This book follows Zsadist, the resident loner of the brothers.  We find out about his past, why he’s the way he is, and where his future lies.  The book also follows Bella, the vampire neighbor of [...]

I just finished reading this book by J. R. Ward.  Boy this book was good!  I was talking with my friend Heather who recommended these books to me about it.  The first book in the series was very good, and definitely got me interested in reading the others, but once I started reading this one, [...]
