Saturday Series Spotlight (4)

Today I'll be featuring Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. I'll admit, this is one of those series that I started reading solely because of the covers. The tattoos on the cover model and how they changed on each cover, depending on what Mercy was dealing with, drew me in. I'm a sucker for cool tattoos. I'm glad these cover caught my eye because the books are amazing. Mercy is one of those characters that just can't help but find herself in the middle of all of the trouble. And I love that she's a mechanic! And I love that Stephan drives a Mystery Machine.

Saturday Series Spotlight (3)

Today I'll be featuring Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series. This was one of the first series I read that had me venturing into the Romance section. I would've never known that there were so many awesome paranormal romances if it wasn't for these books. I love the dynamic between Cat and Bones.

Reading Order:
Halfway to the Grave
One Foot in the Grave
At Grave's End
Destined for an Early Grave





Here's a summary of the first book in the series, Halfway to the Grave:

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father—the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.

In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner—are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side... and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Saturday Series Spotlight (2)

Today I'll be featuring Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series. I'll admit that it took me a while to actually read this series, even though I knew it had good reviews, because the cover of the first book was less than appealing. The primary blue and red just clashed for me. And the title seemed to campy. But I am sooo glad I said "Screw it!" and bought it eventually because this series is amazing. And each book just keeps getting better (the covers too, IMO).

Reading Order:
Kitty and the Midnight Hour
Kitty Goes to Washington
Kitty Takes a Holiday
Kitty and the Silver Bullet
Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand
Kitty Raises Hell
Kitty's House of Horrors (January 1, 2010)









Here's a summary of the first book in the series, Kitty and the Midnight Hour:

Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station-and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it's Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew?

Saturday Series Spotlight (1)

Since I haven't found a Saturday book blog meme that I want to join, I've decided to make my own. It's called Saturday Series Spotlight. I'll be showcasing a series I love in hopes of spreading the word of these awesome series. But I'll make sure not to spoil anything, so only the synopsis of book one will be posted.

The first series I'm going to spotlight is the Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead, one of my favorite authors.

Reading Order:
Succubus Blues
Succubus On Top
Succubus Dreams
Succubus Heat
Succubus Shadows (March 2010)







Here's a summary of the first book in the series, Succubus Blues:

Succubus (n.) An alluring, shape-shifting demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men. Pathetic (adj.) A succubus with great shoes and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid.

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical?

But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies. Her immortal best friends haven't stopped teasing her about the time she shape-shifted into the Demon Goddess getup complete with whip and wings. And she can't have a decent date without sucking away part of the guy's life. At least there's her day job at a local bookstore--free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can't.

But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle's demon underground. And for once, all of her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won't help because Georgina's about to discover there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny...
