Honestly, this series should have ended with Eclipse. This story was a mess, and super creepy. The whole, Jacob imprinting on Edward and Bella's baby was disturbing to say the least.
No S Meyer, nothing can convince me that Bella is an interesting character. She is super boring af. The whole climax was ridiculous and basically, this book is a good thing to use if your house is every broken into; you could basically hit a person with it and they'd probably die of blunt force trauma.

I've been wanting to get into the Dragonriders of Pern series for quite some time, and tried on many occasions, starting various books. This is one of the reasons I've started in the 'wrong' place. Given the fact there was definitely some lore I felt I was missing which was probably given in the earlier three books. But saying that none of what I didn't know spoiled my enjoyment of this book. I got totally emersed in the world of Pern and look forward to returning.

Hmm... as much as I love this series, this one felt like we were back to square one again with her having amnesia and not remembering anything.

I liked how the gang all followed her to Sleepy Hollow and found ways to be in her life but I wasn't as into this story as the previous books. The banter and mystery themes were still there but I couldn't bring myself to care too much.

I'm hoping book 10 will be back to normal in New Mexico.

I really, really, really liked this!

Jack... *sigh* You poor bugger. I felt for you a lot in this. It was obvious how strongly you felt for Keri Anne but because of a contract you couldn't do anything that might last :'(

I loved their relationship and wanted to cry so bad when things went awry between them.

Now eagerly awaiting a time when I can get the second book in the series, so I can see how their relationship works out :D

Book number 9 (already) in the Montague and Strong series, that sees the titular immortal detective Simon Strong and his Mage partner-in-crime Tristran Montague (and Peaches the hellhound) travelling to Japan to track down the leader of New York's Dark Council (and Simon's on-again off-again) vampire girlfriend Michiko, while she is also being stalked (is that the right word?) by a fanatical group of vampire hunters the Blood Hunters.

And, for once, they manage to leave the surroundings (mostly) intact!

I recently recieved the fifth book in the Mercy Thompson series, Silver Borne, for reviewing purposes, and decided to start the series at the beginning like a good bookworm. I was not sure if I would like the series, but imagine my surprise when mechanically-inclined, shapeshifter Mercy Thompson has a penchant for the Christian religion! She likes to attend church, and she chooses to wear a lamb on a necklace instead of a cross because she finds it sick to display the instrument of Christ's torture, and one of Christ's names is the Lamb of God. I gotta say, how cool is that?
Anyways, I find it interesting how non-chalant Mercy is about what she is and can do. She does not seem to know much about being a "walker", but it doesn't bother her. It's the other preternatural beings who give her bits of information about her kind in well-timed accidents. She reminds me a bit of Rachel Morgan from the Kim Harrison series. (Oooh, cross-over potential...)
I also liked the complexities of the different cultures that the various preternatual beings originate from, and most expecially the impossible-to-pronounce names to match, such as Elizaveta Arkadyevna Vyshnevetskaya and Siebold Adelbertsmiter. The book was heavy on politics and violence, while light on romance, which I can appreciate in light of the storyline, but I look forward to things heating up between Mercy Thompson and her two wanna-be boyfriends, Adam and Samuel. I got a bit confused when trying to remember who's who in the cast of characters, especially since many of the lesser werewolves all tended to behave the same, and I really hope that future books will explain who or what the Gray Lords are.
