Drink Deep (Chicagoland Vampires #5), by Chloe Neill
I don't know how to review this without a spoiler - suffice it to say,
this book is AWESOME! The twists were shocking, the characters endearing
and real. Loved it!!! 6 stars.
AWESOME!! Vamps, Sorcerers, Fairies, Nymphs, Siren, Weres... humans with prejudices born of fear and humans with political agendas. Grief, Friendship, Loyalty, Betrayal, Mystery and Hope. This is not vamporn. This is a love story.
If you haven't been drawn into this series yet, I highly recommend you get book 1 immediately!

It's definitely in my top 5 of
all time. I adore the characters, the story, the witty humor, the well
written love scenes - all of it!
There are 6 books in the Night Huntress Series + a spin off series (Night Huntress World) with 2 books AND AND AND Once Burned, the first book in the new spin off series (Night Prince) comes out June 26, which is TOMORROW!! I can NOT wait!!! I'm so excited (can you tell from all the exclamation
points?)
Once Burned's male vampire lead is Vlad. Vlad is a side
character in the Night Huntress series who I could love for his humor
alone, but of course, he's hot hot hot (literally, he controls fire!)
"Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula." -editorial description of Vlad
Here is my favorite Vlad quote. It makes me laugh out loud every time I think of it!
“Much slower, I turned around to see Vlad examining his fingernails, as
if his hands weren't still ablaze in the flames that had blasted the
ghoul's head off moments before.
'what the hell was that?' I gasped.
'Premature inflammation,' He replied. 'Happens sometimes. Very embarrassing, I don't like to talk about it.' ”
Ah,
but you can't start with Once Burned to fully enjoy what the brilliant
author, Jeaniene Frost, has created for us. Well you can, but why? Why
would you deny yourself the full pleasure of starting from the beginning
and savoring every moment of this outstanding 9-book story?
So start with Halfway to the Grave, and start it soon! Cat will intrigue you and Bones will sweep you off your feet....
----- SuperMomx3 original review, May 2010 ------
Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Audiobook Finished 5/26/10
Just
what I wanted: Laugh out loud funny, steamy sex, a good vs. evil
battle, a sarcastic-heroic-kickass leading lady, and a super-sexy male
lead. Perfect. The only criticism I have is for the narrator's portrayal
of Bones (the male lead). She did not pull off sexy Englishman at all.
But I was able to look past it and I'm head over heals for Bones! He
might just be the hottest male vampire ever! (My apologies to Edward,
Eric, Bill, Jasper......)
*update - the narrator's portrayal of Bones gets better, or my imagination over rode what originally bothered me about it.
