I loved Colleen’s first book in the Gardella Vampire Chronicles, The Rest Falls Away. Such a unique twist on the standard vampire fare. Victoria is a Regency vampire hunter. So it feeds my love of historicals with my equal love of paranormals. And speaking of love, I fell madly in love with this series after the first book and couldn’t wait for the second.

The second book, Rises the Night, released this week.

Love the cover!!!! :hips:

Victoria Gardella is a Venator, a vampire hunter. She learned about her legacy and duties in the first book, and lost much in the process. In the second book, Rises The Night, she takes on her responsibilites with a much somber outlook on her future.

It was wonderful to see Victoria grow, to watch each step she took in this book. She wants revenge for those she lost, she’s sadder and wiser now, and her skills grow. But she’s also flawed, and that’s what I love about her. She continues to make mistakes through her journey (I hate perfect heroines so I adore this about her), and we watch her learn from those mistakes.

The cast of supporting characters is perfect, the men in her life are sexy and to die for (no pun intended…or maybe intended..heh), and Colleen always leaves you guessing and dying (punning again, aren’t I?) for the next book in the series, because you just HAVE to know what happens next. It’s exciting, mysterious, adventurous, sensual and heartbreaking.

I never like to give away too much of the plotline, but I adore this series. I highly recommend both books in the Gardella Vampire Chronicles.

And Colleen gave me an AWESOME t-shirt. You know, if I just had one of her vampire stakes to go with it, my trips to Wal Mart would be so much more fun. :giggle:

Demon Moon is releasing June 5th.

Well. Where do I start? Meljean’s worldbuilding is simply stunning. Grab your popcorn and something to drink and settle in for an epic journey of lush, lyrical prose, and an adventure unlike anything you’ve ever read.

Too many times I hear readers complain that so many paranormals are just a lot of the ‘same old thing’. Meljean’s world isn’t at all the same old thing. It’s utterly unique. I’ve never read anything like these books before. Her writing is a hip, modern take on a centuries old world and an ancient battle. There are monsters, horrors, gruesomeness, but also heartbreaking tenderness and some of the hottest sexual tension I have ever experienced. (Pant, pant, drool, drool, and omg Meljean I wanted to beat you over the head for making me WAIT! Holy crap! But oh so well worth it. YOWZA! :sasmokin:)

Colin is simply a fantastic hero. He makes no excuses for who and what he is, nor for his arrogance and flaws. I love that about him. But underneath, the reader senses what he really needs – Savi.

Savi is an incredible heroine. Strong, yet vulnerable. Not perfect, either, and yet drawn to Colin in a way that made my heart break (though I wanted to push her aside and jump Colin myself…heh).

I really want to blab on and on about this book, but I don’t want to give anything away. Trust me when I say that it’s worth reading. And you know me…I don’t have time to read. So when I say it’s really damn good…it’s really damn good.

Demon Moon is the followup to Demon Angel. No, in my opinion, these books don’t stand alone. If you haven’t read Demon Angel, you need to. And you really want to. These books are well worth reading. Take the time, enjoy immersing yourself in this incredible, unique world that Meljean has created.

Order Demon Moon here. If you haven’t read Demon Angel, order that too. Read them both. You won’t regret it.

USA Today Bestselling Author Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed series offers up the second book today, Kiss of Crimson.

Kiss of Midnight released May 1st.

With back to back releases, readers didn’t have to wait long for Dante’s book, Kiss of Crimson.

(Just FYI, both Lucan and Dante made me drool. :sasmokin:)

I LOVED both books, and there’s a damn good reason Lara Adrian slid into the USA Today Bestseller list with this brand new series.

If you love vamps and you haven’t started reading this series yet, go get Kiss of Midnight and Kiss of Crimson. Sexy vampires on a mission, strong women as their partners and compelling plotlines make this a must read series. Lara Adrian’s voice is lush, lyrical, sensual and unputdownable! (yes, that’s a word :giggle: )

Order Kiss of Crimson here

Order Kiss of Midnight here

Get these books!!!! :boobie:
