Happily Never After by Jeaniene Frost

Happily Never After (Night Huntress World #1.5) by Jeaniene Frost ~V^^V

Just kind of blah. This story is about Bone's friend Chase, helping out with a situation, as a favor to Bones. Bella is wrapped up in a mafia situation and is being forced to marry a mobster to save her brother. The mob references were really cheesy and Isabella wasn't that likable  The pacing seemed choppy, going along at a steady pace and then abruptly jumping ahead, several times. I just didn't think this lived up to what I have come to expect from Jeaniene. ~Michelle 

A Perfect Blood by Kim Harrison

The Hollows Book 10 A Perfect Blood by Kim Harrison ~V^^V 


Sorry everyone but I have to give it two stars. I struggled through this book. It took me 2 weeks and I had to force myself to reopen it. I am not even sure what it was that I didn't like. Jenks was there, his usual hilarious self. Ivy was there, her usual brooding self. I liked a lot of the side character updates but the Rachel herself was a disappointment. I was really thinking she would embrace her Demon life and go for it. Rather she spent the whole book hiding and whining. The whole situation with the tattoo was a prime example. Honestly the first half of the book was very slow and by the time it started moving at a good pace I was not interested anymore. I really could care less about the Trent issue as well. I feel like it would be very upsetting to me if he abandoned Ceri and his child to be with Rachel. And really I am just over the will they or won't they. Is he bad or Good, b.s. The thing that I really am looking forward to is Al's plans with Trent's daughter. *insert evil laughter here* That said of course I will finish out this series, I just hope it will be worth it.  ~Michelle

ROAD TRIP! 

Well road trip part 2. This time around Rachel and Jenks are takign Trent along. Rachel needs to clear her name with the witches. Living under a sanction sucks. Trent has plans of his own and is just looking for a driver. Jenks adds the necessary lightness to the story and keeps things fun for me. Ivy and Pierce make an appearance later on as does my favorite, Al. This story was fun, another chance for Rachel to fumble through and somehow come ahead. I never said without any new demon marks mind you. I would say I liked this one about as much as the other Hallows books. I will continue to read this series but I don't rush out for the new releases. ~Michelle
