There are currently 2 books in it with the 3rd, Twisted, due out in September of this year and the 4th and final due out in September of 2012.

I'm with Caleb. It's not like we know how to fight a fairy.
Caleb suddenly snickered, amusement momentarily obliterating distress. Fight a fairy. Do you hear yourself, Jules?

When I try to think of something to add about this

This Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost Review from Pamela

Ok. First off, I'm just going to say that there is no way I'm going to give away any secrets about this one, especially considering the fact that as of a few short hours from now, the book will actually be out. YAY! That being said...

Holy effing WOW. Seriously. I can honestly say that this is by FAR my favorite Cat & Bones yet! I couldn't stop going: WTF?? Holy S**t! OMG!!!! *squeeeeeeeeel*. Even had me squirting a few tears at one point. Whenever I finish 'the new book' I can't even imagine what could possibly happen in the next and am continually surprised and elated with where Ms. Frost takes us. Some seriously unexpected events happened in this one and even a surprise reappearance that I was totally excited about! Chapter 32??? Hmm... Chapter 21 definitely gives 32 a run for it's money! Only difference is that rolls are reversed. That's right...Cat gets to have her way with Bones in a way that they definitely haven't explored yet. *wigglin' eyebrows* So I allowed a little slip, but I didn't say WHAT was done! *elg*

I am so excited for everyone who will soon be experiencing this, because that is exactly what it is, an experience! And I am honored to have been able to read an ARC of TSotG prior to the release and am sure that you will love it as much as I do!

Monday Spotlight! Larissa Ione

Demonica by Larissa Ione


The Demonica series has a total of 5 books and 2 anthologies. with a short recently released on her blog, which we have available for download here. I have heard the Demonica series described as Demon ER and would have to agree. It is based around the Seminus demon brothers and their Underworld General, a hospital specifically for demons. A wide variety of creatures interact and the storyline seems to suck you in further with each book. Definitely a must read. I noted this morning that there are links to deleted scenes on her site as well. Demonica Books

Now Demonica is on the first of many for Larissa, she has the Sydney Croft as well as a few contemporary titles. Her newest series Lords of Deliverance begins April1st with the second coming out December this year. These characters were briefly introduced in Demonica, it should be a fun new series.

How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf -Molly Harper Review!


How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper~ V^^^^^V

I am a huge Molly Harper fan. I stumbled across her Jane Jameson series at the library one day and gave it a shot. WOW, loved it, and was laughing the whole way through. Since I had so loved that series I was excited to see that she had a new one coming out. I preordered my copy of How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf and was thrilled when I received it a few days early. So about this book, Mo is a riot full of quips and quick comebacks, she was raised in a commune by hippy parents, leaving a hysterical history to read. I think some of my favorite lines are Mo’s generalizations of all werewolves. All the characters in Grundy are enjoyable so much so that I found myself quickly rooting for them. The best news is we only have a little over a month wait for book 2 in the series. Go get your copy Tuesday, you won't be disappointed.

Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner

I love my family, really I do. But as I watched the van pull out of the driveway, I had to admit that a little alone time was awfully nice.
Even if I was alone with a dead demon.

Dreams of a Dark Warrior -Kresley Cole



WOW! All I can say is WOW! I was completely sucked in and hooked right from the Prologue. Aidan and Regin have a heartbreaking story that transcends time and still breaks your heart again and again. Though my first thoughts were that the prologue seemed long I came to realize there was a lot to tell. The entire book after, had me so anxious to see what would happen next that I couldn't put it down. Ms. Cole's writing is intense and in my opinion the Immortals After Dark series just keeps getting better and better. The teasers about Lothaire and Nucking Futs Nix's history has me very extremely intrigued. So, I highly recommend you get this book as soon as possible and again if you haven't read the IAD series yet, DO IT.

Monday Spotlight -Guardians of Eternity


Michelle's turn... WOOHOO! I am going to Spotlight Alexandra Ivy's Guardians of Eternity. Currently there are 7 books and one Anthology.

Guardians Of Eternity by Alexandra Ivy ~ V^^^^V

Alexandra Ivy will have you hooked immediately with this Vampire Romance. A contemporary setting of Chicago, Illinois is the setting for this tale, but it’s not just vampires and werewolves anymore. Ivy presents us with a chalice to hold the soul of a goddess who can destroy all vampires, and don’t forget the demons. Many have said that this series started off slow, but for me I was hooked from the first pages. The bad guys that aren’t so bad, the good guys have that bad boy in them, and the standard Vampire - Werewolf fare all make an enjoyable story. The character dynamics are excellent and the overall theme is progressing nicely.

7 Books to Date

Halfway To The Grave by Jeaniene Frost

"Ah, mistress, you're an angel. Sure there's not a drop left? I might have remembered one more person..."
"Up yours," I said rudely with another belch. "It's empty. You should tell me the name anyway, after making me drink all that sewage."
