Summary:

 

Lenah Beaudonte should be dead. But having sacrificed herself to save another, she finds herself awakening with strange powers that are neither vampire nor human—and a new enemy on her trail. In her vampire life, Lenah had thought that being human was all she ever wanted; but the human heart suffers pain, heartbreak and loss.

With her new powers growing and the dark force of the Nex after her soul, Lenah faces a choice: between the mortal love of gorgeous Justin, whose passion fed her human soul, and taking a different path to become the mistress of her own destiny, wherever that may lead...

 

 

Review:

Stolen Nights started off where Infinite Days ended.  Lenah is dealing with the fact that the ritual that was supposed to kill her didn't work and that that very same ritual left her soul mate Rhode alive as well, but this is the kind of magic that is never supposed to happen and there are consequences.

Lenah is given the choice to go back in time to where she was human girl where she will never meet her soul mate or stay in the present but not be allowed to be with him.  She chooses the present where she has her memories but can still see Rhode even if not in an intimate way.

This is a series that had me going though so many emotions it was incredible.  The love that these two share is beautiful.  The tragedy that befalls them is devastating and even the end we are left with uncertainty. 

Rebecca Maizel writes a twisted and complicated tale about what it is to love as a vampire and live with the desire to be human.  As soul mates Lenah and Rhode will forever be connected.

Sometimes love is so strong that it will defy even the hands of time.

We are left with one heck of a cliffhanger and I really hope we don't have a long wait for book three.

Summary:

Can a fanged fashionista take out a deadly Salem spirit?

Being on the lam from the Feds and the vampire council with no money is not as glamorous as it sounds, especially when I, Gina Covello, fashion queen of the undead, am forced to abandon my wardrobe. Salem, Massachusetts, seems like a great place to hide our supernatural gang. But who knew the city would be crawling with ghosts? The nasty spirit of George Corwin, infamous sheriff from the witch trial days, is on a killing spree. It's up to us to take down the breath-stealing phantom-without blowing our cover.



Review:

This was the first book in the series that I have read so I had a little trouble figuring everything out at first.  I would have liked to have had a bit more back story in the beginning.

This book follows Gina the vampire.  She and her friends are on the run from the Feds.  I have no idea why but they decide the best place to hide out is in Salem were everyone is used to the supernatural occurrences.

While in Salem they discover that there is a very real and every evil ghost that is not just haunting the people of Salem but actually killing them.

The group decides to try and solve the case all while trying to stay under the radar of not only the Feds but a Ghost Hunter TV crew that showed up to film haunted Salem.

I loved the rich history of Salem that we get to lean about.  Vampires in Salem fighting angry Ghosts was a ton of fun.  I am going to have to read the first few books and then maybe all the relationships will make more sense but I loved this book and cant wait to see what happens next!

Review: The Golden Lily

Title:  The Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2)

Author:  Richelle Mead

Release Date:  June 12th 2012            

Publisher:  Razorbill

Source:  Purchased

Hardcover:  418 pages

 

 

Tough, brainy alchemist Sydney Sage and doe-eyed Moroi princess Jill Dragomir are in hiding at a human boarding school in the sunny, glamorous world of Palm Springs, California. The students--children of the wealthy and powerful--carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance, while Sydney, Jill, Eddie, and Adrian must do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Richelle Mead's breathtaking Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive. In this second book, the drama is hotter, the romances are steamier, and the stakes are even higher.

Review:

The Golden Lily was beautifully written and full of entertainment.  I really enjoyed it.  It seemed to me that is was a bit of a bridging book.  It helped to clear up any questions from Bloodlines while setting the scene for the third book The Indigo Spell, which I assume will be an action packed, sit on the edge of your seat and stay up all night to finish kind of book. 

 

 

The character development was intense.  I really enjoyed watching Sydney grow as a young woman.  She tries so hard to do her job but she has too good of a heart to turn her back on those she has grown to love.  She does love all those vampires even if she wont admit it. 



I think that Sydney having to do magic was epic.   I liked that her teacher took a round about way of having her learn magic and I was happy to see Sydney complete the spells on her own.  That girl needs to let go of other peoples beliefs and learn to stand on her own two feet.  She is so smart and I think as the series progresses we will be seeing her become a force to be reckoned with.


Adrian was as handsome as ever and I loved watching all his feelings play out!  He seems to have grown the most.  I really hope that he learns to stick to his commitments.  He has the ability for greatness and I cant wait to see how he gets there. 



You can tell that he is falling for Sydney but it kills me that she is so oblivious about relationships.  I cant wait until they get together.  I will be thrilled to see Adrian happy.



We learned a lot about the Vampire Hunters and what they plan to accomplish.  I think that it was an interesting twist to bring in the hunters.  The fact that they used to be a part of the Alchemist team just makes for perfect drama. 


The Golden Lily wasn't as action packed as the previous books but it was a fun and adventure filled read.  I cant wait for The Indigo Spell which is the next installment in the Bloodlines series.

Summary from Goodreads: 


When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she does, she’s faced with something she’s never seen before: a terrifyingly ordinary group of people—kids, grandparents, soccer moms—all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master. And where there’s one martyr, there will be more…

But even vampires have monsters that they’re afraid of. And Anita is one of them…


Review:

I have loved every book in this series since the very beginning and this one was no different.  The complex world that LKH has created never lets me down. 

In Kiss The Dead we kind of go back to Anita's roots.  The story surrounded mostly police work on a vampire case.  I loved seeing the interrogations, the standoffs and all the other police action. 

I love seeing Anita interact with all her men.  She seems to have finally found a happy place with herself and what her life is like.  Since Anita is not fighting everything anymore she is more at ease which in turn makes all the men easier for her deal with. 

The sex scenes were mild but very enjoyable.  LKH seemed to concentrate more on Anita's relationships than she did then the sex in this book and it was very refreshing to see everyone evolve so much.

Jean-Claude has been there for Anita from the very beginning and it was great to have him be such a large part of this book.  Nathaniel, Micah, Sin and Asher were also major players this time.

I loved every page of this book and I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of the Anita Blake Series.

Author Interview & Giveaway with Heather Jensen

Thank you so much Heather for stopping by Mortality Bites to talk with us today.  Heather is the amazing author of Blood and Guitars.  She has finished the second book in the series Immorals and Melodies and is currently working on the third book.

You can find our review of Blood and Guitars here. 

The Interview:

MB:  Why did you self publish? It seems like you could easily get a publisher.

 

HJ:  I self-publish because I really like to have some say in every aspect of my book. I like being able to set the price of my books so they are affordable to readers. Some publishing companies still charge around $10 or more for an e-book, and that just doesn't work for me. I guess I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to my passion. I like having the final say on the cover, the price, the format and feel of the actual book layout and so on.

MB:   How did you come up with Blood laced wine. I really liked that.

HJ:  Thanks! The blood-laced wine is something I always sort of imagined when I started dreaming up this series over ten years ago. I imagined my vampires having something that appeared classy and elegant, but at the same time was not at all what it appeared to be.

MB: Was it difficult to come up with the the lyrics for Treys songs.

HJ:  Yes and no. Writing songs for the books has been one of the most rewarding parts for me. I've always loved writing songs, but it wasn't until I began writing songs for Blood And Guitars that I realized I'm a much better songwriter as Trey than I ever have been as Heather...lol. Some of the songs were written in as little as ten minutes and others were a labor of love that I poured over on and off for several months. I love every second of it, though.

MB:   Is root beer your drink of choice because it seemed to be Aurora's favorite?

HJ:  It's funny that you ask. I was just talking about the beauty of Root Beer with my dad yesterday at a McDonald's. His Pepsi from the fountain drink machine was gross, and I told him to dump it out and get Root Beer. Without even asking for an explanation he responded with, "You know. You're probably right. Root Beer is a safe choice pretty much anywhere."

In that way, I guess I do prefer Root Beer sometimes. My favorite is actually Dr. Pepper but I don't drink a lot of soda in general.

MB:  Will this continue as a series or will it be wrapped up after the second book?

HJ:  I'm currently writing the third, and what I expect to be the last, book in the series. It's titled Fangs And Fame.

MB:  I really enjoyed reading about Mark. Will he ever get his own book?

HJ:  What a great question. As I mentioned before, I've only planned three books for the series but I will never rule out the possibility of doing a spin off in the future in that same world I've created. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed Mark's character so much. He really doesn't get the credit he deserves for being such a great guy and his story really is an intriguing one. He plays an even bigger role in Immortals And Melodies than he does in Blood And Guitars.

Summary:

When Aurora meets Trey, a famous singer and musician, she’s only hoping to get her fill of human blood for the week. The last thing Aurora expects is for Trey to make her feel alive for the first time since she was, well, alive. It begins with a casual painting lesson at her art studio, The Waking Moon, and quickly turns into a forbidden romance. Aurora is forced to hide her true identity from Trey, while keeping her relationship with the human a secret from other vampires in her Brood. Trey’s band is recording a new album and with Aurora as his muse, Trey is writing songs like never before. After being hired by their record label to paint the cover of the new album, Aurora has a legitimate reason for spending so much time with Trey and his band mates. Aurora can’t deny the unexpected connection she has with Trey, which is fueled by glimpses into his emotions every time they share a kiss. Caught between two worlds, Aurora must attend celebrity award shows and vampire rituals, find time to feed, and protect Trey from the dangers of the night, all while preserving her secrets. 

Review:

Blood and Guitars was a great story about forbiden love between a young vampire and a young rock star. A chance meeting between the two at a bar changes both their lives forever. Trey who has been experiencing writers block is now full of lyrics. Aurora knows that spending so much time with Trey is dangerous when she starts to have feelings for him. Relationships between vampires and humans are forbidden. When Aurora is hired on by the band to do the artwork for their new album cover the wrong vampires find out about their relationship. With Treys life in danger Aurora struggles to find a way to keep him safe but how is that possible? The odds are against them. Will they find a way to stay together, will love be enough to pull them through or will everything fall apart? I can't wait to read the next book and find out.

ARC Review: The Lady is a Vamp by Lynsay Sands

ARC Ebook

July 31st 2012

Avon/HarperCollins

Summary from Goodreads:

"New York Times" bestselling author Lynsay Sands, one of paranormal romance's original superstars, delivers a scorching and delightful story of a mortal man on a mission--and the Vamp who is his only hope.

One late night leads to . . .

Kidnapped When Jeanne Louise Argeneau left work, she never thought she'd end up tied down by a good-looking mortal. More attracted than annoyed, she quickly realizes there is more to her abductor than meets the eye.

One desperate act leads to . . .

Love? Paul Jones has need of a vampire, and only Jeanne Louise will do. He just has to convince this beauty of a Vamp to help him . . . never imagining that he would fall in love. But with the immortal world's answer to law enforcement hunting them, their time together is running out . . . and Paul and Jeanne Louise will need to risk everything to spend an eternity together.


Review:

The Lady is A Vamp is the 17th Argeneau novel.  I just cant get enough of this series and this book was no exception. 

Jeanne Louise has always been a character that has intrigued me.  She is a very fun loving but serious type of gal.  I was very excited for her to finally get to tell her story.  The book starts off with Jeanne Louise being kidnapped by Paul.  He is her co worker and one of the few humans who know about immortals.  Paul wants her to turn his terminally ill daughter into a vampire.  Livy is only five years old and he will do anything to save her. 

Jeanne Louise quickly becomes a willing victim when she realizes that Paul is her life mate.  She quickly falls in love with both Paul and Livy.  However they are on the run from the immortal enforcers because no one is allowed to kidnap an immortal and not be punished for it. 

While on the run they all get really close as a family and Paul finds that he loves Jeanne Louise,  He wants to be her life mate and live happily ever after but he is a great Dad and is set to give it all up so that Livy can be saved. 

In the end Jeanne Louise is faced with the decision to either save the life of the child she has grown to love or turn the life mate she was destined to have. 

This book is all about love.  The love of a father, a daughter and the love of a life mate.  It was very different form the rest of the series and it was heartbreaking but lovely all at the same time.

I couldn't ask for a better story and I cant wait to see what happens with their family in future installments of the Argeneau series.

Summary from Goodreads:

She's a mortal with dark powers...

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...

He's the Prince of Night...

Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him—a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.

Review by Amy:

Ok let me say first, I have never read the book Dracula nor have I watched the original movie. Vlad you sexy ,sexy man I was waiting for the real deal. Once again Jeaniene Frost didn't let me down. I was captured in the first chapter and couldn't put the book down. I liked Leila from the start and can honestly say she is the perfect woman for Vlad since I can't have him.

The story begins with Leila, a young woman, who works with a traveling circus. As a child she touched a downed power line and it resulted in giving her special abilities. Her life is lived each day avoiding people as best possible because direct contact with her will electricute them. She also see's into the past,present and future by making contact with her right hand. This endangers her life when she is abducted by vampires who want to use her to capture Vlad Tepesh.

While being held against her will she is told to find him and determine when he will be vulnerable. She does as she is told only to discover that he is a mind reader and knows she is spying on him. She decides to put her life in his hands by convincing him she is not his enemy and needs help.

 Vlad rescues her and begins to use her abilities to find the mastermind behind his betrayl. An accidental brush of her hand shows Leila that she will be Vlads lover but is that something she wants or can she change the future? He is ruthless when it comes to protecting what is his, and torture is not beyond his method to get what needs to be done. Leila questions if she can be with someone who has such small compassion for life.

 As Leila fights for her life and the life of her loved ones she discovers that this mysterious man is making himself at home in her heart. The problem is he has made it perfectly clear that love is an emotion beyond him. Is her love enough to make this work or will it all go up in flames????

Amy gave Once Burned 5 Stars!

Summary:

The steamy outtake that takes readers even further into Laurell K. Hamilton’s bestselling novel, Kiss the Dead.

You’d think I’d get used to seeing such a beautiful man and knowing he was mine, but it never grew old, as if his beauty and the fact that he was mine, and I was his, would forever surprise me.

With a vampire like Jean Claude around, it’s far too easy for Anita Blake to doubt her own appearance—and the hold it has on those who love her. But one hot tub and two incredibly sexy men—Jean Claude and Asher—will make her feel like the most lusted-after woman alive…or undead. Not bad for a mere human…

Includes an excerpt of Kiss the Dead, the new Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novel.

Review:

I really enjoy LKH books.  I know that a lot of people have stopped reading her books but I find myself returning to them often.  I love a good paranormal book with lots of drama, mystery and sex and LKH still delivers that for me!

Beauty was a very short especial.  The entire short story a sex scene between JC, Asher and Anita and I loved every min of it. 

My only complaint is that she gives us a whole chapter of character descriptions.  As a long time reader of this series I don't need that I just want to get to the good stuff.  So if you already know how sexy JC and Asher are then just start right up with chapter two.  If your new to the series then set back and enjoy seeing just how hot and sexy two Vampires look in a steaming hot bathtub sex scene.

Review:

Once Burned is the first book in the Night Prince series.  This is a spin-off from the Night Huntress series.  This one features my favorite character in the series Vlad.  He has this whole arrogant, sexy and freighting thing going on all at once.  Which he takes as a compliment.  It just doesn't get any steamier than Vlad.

Once Burned is told from Leila's point of view.  We start by learning that she is human but has an extraordinary gift.  When she was younger she touched a down power line and when she awoke from a coma she learned that she had changed.  She now  has electricity coursing through her body at all times so when she touches someone they get a deadly shock.  With her gift comes the ability to see someones darkest sin with a single touch of her right hand.  She also sees memories from the past, present and future.  Which is why she gets herself kidnapped by vampires.  They want to use her ability to find the famous Vlad so they can kill him. 

Vlad is still as smoldering as we remember him, but as he gets more acquainted with Leila we get to see that he does have a softer side to him.  Their romance is great.  They face off many times during this novel.  Vlad is used to getting his way however Leila doesn't seem to care if he likes what she has to say or not.  He knows that they will end up together  and he seems to enjoy embarrassing her about it.  She takes quite a bit of convincing but once they did end up together well let's just say there was one hell of a sizzling current. Their chemistry in Once Burned leaves you feeling breathless and wanting more.

This novel had a lot of action which is what I have come to expect from Jeaniene Frost.  She really knows how to lay out a plot  to keep you guessing.  The scenes change between action, romance, mystery and a little bit of heart break all in perfect time to keep you turning the page.   We even get to have a small scene with Cat and Bones.  You just can't have a Frost book without a little Bones action! 

The final showdown was glorious.  Even with the many questions left unanswered I was happy with the ending.  Vlad and Leila's future is one vision we don't get in Once Burned.  How will this story unfold?  I applaud Frost's ability to leave you completely satisfied but also demanding more.  I don't think 2013 will come soon enough.

Once Burned is a blazing hot and electrifying read.  Night Huntress fans will devour this book in no time.  However if this is the first book in this world that you pick up have no fear, Once Burned will sweep you right in and leave you burning for more.

Summary from Goodreads:

Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.

Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.


Review:

I was asked by J. Meyers to read and give a honest review of her book and that is what you are going to get today. Meyers has just made it to my top ten favorite authors list. She writes with such a new and unique voice. I just cant get enough.

Intangible sucked me in before I could finish the first chapter. Sera and Luke are just an amazing set of twins with the coolest powers. They are Gifteds. Sera can heal and Luke sees the future but there are consequences that go with not understanding where their powers come from or how to control them.

Luke keeps having a vision where Sera dies. He knows that he is powerless to stop it but that doesn't mean he isnt going to try. Sera learns that she can change a vampire into a human again with her healing power but the vampire leaders are not very happy about this. They want her dead.

The secondary characters in this novel are what really set this book apart from the masses. Marc is so intriguing. I feel so badly for him but I'm wary of him all at the same time. He is such a sweet guy but I just think he is wrong for Sera. Fey is the big sister type with a big secret but I think Luke might have some romantic feelings for her. I hope to see that relationship develop more in the coming books.

My favorite character is Jonas. He is a vampire with a little bit of humanity left in him. I found myself looking forward to moments when he would make an appearance. I loved that he is afraid of Sera changing him into a human with her touch but will still hold her hand to lead her through the dark no matter what.

I loved the flow of this book! It changes perspectives fluidly which was very refreshing. I loved that we could go from person to person to see what they see and to feel what they feel. I felt like I really got to know every ones inner workings that way.

The Realm was impressive. It is a parallel world that the non humans live in. The description was so vivid. I felt as though I was there myself. I enjoyed the vampires, dark elves and light elves. It was a very different concoction that was just inspiring. I hope we get to spend more time in the Realm. (cough, cough, with Jonas! cough)

No spoilers but the end of this novel opens up a world of questions for me. I think we will be seeing great things in the future for Luke and Sera. I really hope we get several more books. Thank you J. Meyers for such a wonderful read!

Summary From Karen Chance Website:

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. But so far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing...

Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he’s not an easy kill.

It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab. But when Louis-Cesare rescues her, she has no memory of what happened to her.

To find out what was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory will have to face off with fallen angels, the maddest of mad scientists, and a new breed of vampires that are far worse than undead…

I just love this Cover!  She looks so badass!  What do you think?
