Books Read in March 2011

This month was a doozy of reading. It's amazing how much reading a person can get done when they're stuck sitting in their car for 12 hours a week (lol). I've blogged about some of these books, but not all of them.

The Werewolf Upstairs by Ashlyn Chase

What I can say is this - anything by Melissa Marr or Rob Thurman is always ALWAYS phenomenal - and therefore they earn the ultimate 6 stars.

In the 5 star category - all of these are amazing books. I'm a huge fan of the Seanan McGuire and I think Eileen Rendahl's books are amazing. Patricia Briggs books blew me away. All have strong female leads & well developed worlds & characters.

In 4 stars is the latest Eugenie (Richelle Mead) novel - Eugenie pisses me off, so that has an effect on my liking of the book. I think she's weird and an idiot. And I don't like Kiyo at all. I do love Dorian, tho. Remy (T. Sniegoski) Chandler - I love this series although I sometimes think it gets bogged down in things not necessary to the storyline. Simon Canderous (Anton Strout) is an interesting character, but like Eugenie, his personality tended to annoy me & I thought his organization was a bunch of buffoons. Good story though. And Ilona Andrews short story is very enjoyable (I wish it was longer).

3 Stars - Under Wraps by Hannah Jayne. This is a cute story, the lead character is a total flake, and I liked it. My problem with it is the "sexy" male love interest kept turning me off. (Spongebob undies? Come on...) And I thought the last chapter ended abruptly with a cliffhanger & a shocker that ruined a part of the story for me (because it just didn't make sense). Maybe the sequel will explain it?...

Finally 2 Stars - The Werewolf Upstairs. What can I say? It's one of those books that was too silly for me to like. And I didn't really get the lead female. It's me, not the book. I have to say, I did like the werewolf (he was definitely sexy). Maybe if I was reading it in the summer on the beach with a cold beer... anyway, I'd still read the rest in this series. (But I'd have to be in the right mood for them.)
