This is a short, seasonal story of a woman who has been dealt a really rough hand, plus two Irish vampires - one of which wants to help, the other one wants to help himself... to start with. The connection that comes alive with these three is almost tangible. It is a bond that starts with the familiarity of loneliness and swiftly moves on to happier, more passionate feelings.

The Bite of Winter is the first book in a new series that I am looking forward to reading more of. The 'black' character of Seamus surely has to appear in future books.

For a hot book with a seasonal smile, I can surely recommend this one.

This book tells a fictional account of real life events that center around Typhoid Mary. It is based on the actual life of Mary Mallon, an Irish immigrant living in New York City in the early 1900s. Mary worked as a cook for a number of wealthy families in the area while she was a healthy carrier of the typhoid bacteria. She would spread the disease to the families she worked for, even killing some of them. The thing is Mary didn't know she carried the disease...she had never even had symptoms.
The main character, Pruedence, is a 17 year old girl who leaves school to accept a job with the Dept of Health & Sanitation. It is written as a series of journal writings she makes & tells the story through her musings. She gets swept into the case & it ignites in her a passion for medicine & figuring out how the body works. Prudence makes the story. Without her character struggles this book would be forgettable. It's redeeming quality is the fact that you want to see her reach her dream.

This collection of Deadpool's first appearances gets off to a very "meh" start, with a brief appearance in an issue of New Mutants. There then follows two distinct, but similar, storylines with more of a Deadpool focus. Here the artwork is great, but there is a dated feel to it, and the cod Irish dialogue from Banshee and Syren is cringeworthy.
The final issue is the start of Joe Kelly's tenure as Deadpool writer. Here the banter and 4th wall breaking is turned up a notch and Deadpool starts to feel better defined, albeit still in dire need of a decent enemy to face. However the artwork doesn't quite sit right with me, its all a bit too quirky and cartoony (big hands and faces and every other character has a cigar between his teeth). And adding this one issue into this collection just seems odd, as Deadpool as a character is very different to the previous stories, has a completely different setup and technology and just doesn't fit in at all.
