Night Reigns by Dianne Duvall


I have no idea why I put off reading this book for so long because I loved it!  I think I was a little afraid Ami was going to be a weak female character because of the way Seth found her but hell no, she was a freaking bad ass.  When Seth first puts Ami and Marcus together Marcus does everything he can to get her to go away and she doesn't take any of it and she helps him fight the vampires.  If it wasn't for her Marcus would have been captured or killed.  and I LOVE that Marcus doesn't downplay what Ami can do either.  Even when he didn't want her there and he wasn't sure what he felt for her, he still was proud and boasted about her fighting skills and I freaking loved that.

I love her relationship with seth, David and Darnell.  Ahh and they all call her sweetheart.  Freaking adorable.  And I even like how Sebatian is protective of her.  Basically you can't hate Ami.  She is the sweetest person and if you wrong her or someone she loves she will kick you ass which makes her just freaking awesome.  She's one of my favorite characters ever I think.

One of my favorite things about this series is the relationship with all the characters.  Not just the two main ones but the close relationship with everyone.  I love the family atmosphere.  I love all the funny "mind" banter.   There isn't judgement, just acceptance.  Like with Ami's big secret.. They tell Chris and he doesn't say anything really. He just accepts it.  That to me was so freaking cool.  I fell a little in love with Chris at that moment.

All Played Out by Cora Carmack


I am not going to lie and say that I have loved this series.. but this book I loved! I freaking loved it.  Nell is absolutely adorable.  I love how awkward she is with everything.  It was like my first year in college.. except I didn't have a hot football player thinking I was adorable because of it but oh well.  It was still cute.  And Torres was amazing.  I really thought I was going to hate him because I thought he was just using Nell to get over his feelings for his first love but I am glad that Cora Carmack didn't keep that going through out the whole book.. Otherwise I would have hated him.  I am glad he realized that Nell was a complete different person and he realized he was a jackass for even thinking about using her to get over the other girl.

I really loved seeing Torres and Nell together.  They were complete opposites but they worked so well together.  Honestly I loved both of the characters personalities.  I was so much like Nell and I think that's why this book spoke to me so much.  I just wish I had a Torres to skinny dip with me and feed me breadsticks after I throw up on his friends.  I'm pretty sure that just doesn't happen in real life.  If I throw up on someones friends Im thinking they are going to be running as fast as they can in the other direction.

Also can I just say that the freaking couple on the cover are like perfection. Where the hell were those people on campus?  I may be seriously in love with both of them.

Blood Magic by Jennifer Lyon


I struggled a little bit with this one.  I almost didn't finish it but I pushed myself to do it and I ended up liking it. kind of.  I felt like the story wasn't that smooth and honestly it was hard to follow at the beginning.  I wasn't getting it.  To the point where I had to go and make sure that this was the first of the series.. which it is.

And Axel.. what a dick.  seriously I hated him so much that by time he started being nice that I couldn't get over what a jerk he was in the beginning.  I know that he had to be a jerk but I just think it was done to an excessive amount.  There are lot of books where the guy is a jerk but I still end up loving him.. This was not one of them.  Like I liked nothing about him.  And then theres Darcey.  Who I felt bad for because lets face it, Axel gave her no choice but to be trapped.. but then you go and sleep with him?? Sure makes sense to me.  You can't hit him because of the witch karma(which is just ridiculous if you ask me.) so naturally that means sex it the next option.  Dumb.  Obviously it all worked out but whatever.

I wanted to like this book because the concept of the story is so interesting. But to me it did not deliver.  The only thing I did like about the book was the group of guys. I love the brotherhood they seemed to have.  Other than that though.. ehhh.

Kiss of Crimson by Lara Adrian


Ehh.. I was not overly fond of this one.  I love the world the books are based in but so far I am not impressed with the stories.  This one was kind of boring.  And I feel like there was a lot of "filler".  And I hate romances that don't get resolved until the very freaking end.  Like with in the last 5 minutes of the book ( Audiobook)  It drives me crazy because I always love all the stuff after they are openly in love with each other.

I did like the characters.  I mean they were kind of dull but they were sweet and funny.  And yeah thats really about it.  That's pretty much how I feel about this book.. It's dull but it was still okay. I still enjoyed listening to it.

Secret Life of a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks


I liked it.  For sure I didn't love it.  I could not stand Laura.  Like at all.  She was terrible.  Jack was amazing and way, way too good for Laura.  But like with the last books it was funny.  I laughed a few times.  It's really the only reason I keep reading the series because I really don't like the females.  I don't think I have really liked any of them.  Maybe Emma but the rest so far have not been that great.

I loved that Jack didn't give up.  Even after Laura was a complete brat.  The whole Apollo thing was just sick. but again I just didn't like Laura.  I don't like how she handled finding out that Jack was a vampire.  She already knew that he had red eyes and that he could teleport.  She was okay thinking he was an alien but not a vampire?  That just didn't sit right with me.

Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon


I am re-reading the Dark Hunter series and I did not write a review for most of them which is ludicrous.  Especially since they are some of my favorite books and I think everyone should read them.  And this one is one of my favorites.

Talon is male perfection.  He has to be one of the most patient men alive.  Sunshine cold be a handful at times and where most men I know would have yelled or at least been irritated, Talon thought it was cute.  Which makes him one of the sexiest men ever.  And then how can you not love Sunshine.  She is so ditzy and forgetful and sweet.  She isn't your typical heroine and I think that's why I love her so much. I think it would be impossible to hate her.

I loved seeing them together.  They are so different but they are so perfect for each other.  I loved the whole healthy food vs non healthy food bickering. It was adorable. They are both sarcastic so conversations were funny.

I also loved that there were so many of the different characters in this one.. Now it may be different for me because I have already read all the other books and I know all the characters stories because I have read a couple reviews that complained about this.  I loved it though.  I love seeing them all interact together.  It's like a huge family.

And then there is Zarek.  And I love him.  I love that he ended up helping Sunshine because she gave him a bowl.  I know there are other little reasons but really who doesn't love Zarek.  He obviously just needs someone to be kind to him and again I love him.

All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks


I did not like Toni.. I tried. Really I did.  But I just couldn't.  She got better by the end but I struggled with her for the whole book. If it wasn't for Ian I'm pretty sure I would have hated this book.  Well that and there were some pretty funny parts of the book.  I did laugh a few times. I wanted to punch Toni's room mate in the face.  Not only because she was a complete brat after they saved her but because of the way she treated Carlos!  ugh I wanted to to cuddle that guy up.  I hope he has a book at some point because I am in love with him.

Ian was adorable and clumsy and he did embarrassing things that made me love him even more.  Toni eventually gets better.  After she falls in love with Ian.  I almost didn't finish the book because of her though. I really freaking hope there isn't a book for Sabrina. I seriously hated her.  I have no desire to read any more about her.
