Ecstasy Untamed by Pamela Palmer Reviewed

Feral Warriors Book 6 ~Ecstasy Untamed by Pamela Palmer~ V^^^^^V

Damn near impossible to put down! So much action, so many intriguing developments, ugh I can't wait for the next one! OK details, hmmmm. Well we get to meet the new Fox shifter and then some. :-O The relationship between Hawke and his animal is just the tip of the iceberg. It was emotional ride. Honestly I think I will add this series to me owned list. ~Michelle

Monday Spotlight: Stroke of Midnight Anthology


Stroke of Midnight Anthology Review~ V^^^^^V

Another 5 fang rating. Dark Hunter short stories get me every time, I think I could read 4 a day. LOL I also really liked Lori Handeland's Night Creatures series, I discovered them through anthologies like this one. My only complaint is Vampire Huntress Legends, I know there are a lot of L.A. Banks fans out there but I just could NOT get into this series. No matter how many times I tried it just never happened. I did like the novellas in fact because of them I sought out the rest of the series but sadly I was unable to complete it. Maybe I will try again someday. ~Michelle

Hunger Untamed by Pamela Palmer

Feral Warriors Book 5 ~Hunger Untamed by Pamela Palmer ~V^^^^V

I didn't like this one quite as much as some of the others but I think that was just because I was having a little difficulty following the linas. It was a little odd but I think I may have come across them in a previous novella. Anyway Kougar and Ariana, Queen of the linas, have a history that left them both heartbroken. The journey back to each other is fraught with pain, sadness, anger and of course evil. In the end is a wonderfully tragic story that will keep you engrossed and turning the pages. ~Michelle

Rapture Untamed by Pamela Palmer

Feral Warriors Book 4- Rapture Untamed by Pamela Palmer V^^^^V

This might come off harsh but here goes. This is pretty much a Feral Warriors version of Zsadist from Black Dagger Brotherhood. If you loved Z, then you will like Jag. If you aren't a huge Z fan then you will most likely not really give a hoot about this book. I have read plenty of reviews that said Jag was an ass, I never got that. Perhaps I am just familiar with the story and assumed it was justifiable. To be honest though he never came off cruel in my eyes. *shrug* This story was a kinky, quick read. The characters were both interesting and I figure they deserved one another. For me these "troubled" alpha stories can be shortened a lot by avoiding dragging on and on and on, the misunderstandings, this book was a fast enough read that I didn't have that problem. ~Michelle

Darker After Midnight Review

Darker After Midnight (Midnight Breed #10) by Lara Adrian ~V^^^^^V

WOW! This book was crazy good. My ONLY complaints are that the end seemed to really be an ending. Without the author's note at the end I would have guessed it was over, at which point I would have bawled. Second I just wanted to slap Lucan. I got tired of reading about his guilt and worry over carrying the world on his shoulders alone. It got tiresome in his book and I started to get annoyed with him all over again here. Now what I liked!!! I was never much of a Chase fan so Lara had her work cut out for her, in my opinion. I can say that I really enjoyed getting to know him and Tavia was SO cool once everything sorted out. So many amazing things happened, I literally said "WHAT?!?" out loud when reading. I had trouble putting it down so I could got to work and the whole time I was away I kept wondering what would happen next. Honestly there were so many revelations and changes it was fun trying to keep up. Truth be told this may be my favorite to date. I am anxious to read what new things will come to in the next books. I am also thrilled to find out the contract was extended for 3 more books. YAY! ~Michelle

Armansky was not in the least comforted by the thought of turning Salander loose in such a situation, like a cruise missile out of control.

A Little Something Different -PART 1

Sometimes I read a few books that interest me but are not the norm for this blog. I thought I would let you all see what other books I have read and liked. Perhaps you will give them a try too.




Orbit: NASA Astronauts Photograph the Earth~ V^^^^^V

Amazing photos, very interesting facts and an overall very fabulous book. Definitely recommend to NASA fans and space junkies like me. ~Michelle




11 Planets: A New View of the Solar System by David Aguilar ~V^^^V
A little outdated by the time I read it
and yes it is a reference books for kids. BUT having been so many years since I have been in a Science class I felt the need for a refresher. I LIKED IT. ~Michelle


13 Planets: The Lastest View of the Solar System by David Aguilar~ V^^^V
An updated version of the previous book 11 planets. Again this is a Children's reference book but it was insightful. Since the exploration into space is very liquid with new discoveries everyday I expect there will be another update soon. ~Michelle





The Planets by Dava Sobel V^^^^^V
I LOVED this book. Dava uses uses Astrology in such a fun way to shed insight into our Solar System. This book just hit the nail on the head for me. I have loved the night stars and the stories of the constellations since I was a child and this wove it perfectly for me. So man y facts presented in a manner that I found extremely interesting and not boring as some Scientists are want to do. ~Michelle



Chinese Mythology by Owen Giddens ~V^^^V
Perfect for what I was after. I wanted a basic over view of some of the more common Chinese Mythology; I got that and some very interesting paintings. An excellent handy little reference book for any who have the curiosity. ~Michelle




Favorite Greek Myths by Mary Pope Osborne ~V^^^^V
I LOVE GREEK Mythology! This was a fabulous Children's reference book, a lot of basic information in a shortened form. I used this as a refresher for myself and for a introduction to my kids. Only problem is some of the names were in their Roman version. ~Michelle



Chinese Mythology by Claude Helft ~V^^^V
Another great Chinese Mythology pocket reference book. I used this as a back up to the other book. Double checking stories and find a few that were a little more in depth. ~Michelle



PART 2 to follow soon.

Passion Untamed by Pamela Palmer Reviewed

Feral Warriors Book 3- Passion Untamed by Pamela Palmer~ V^^^^V

Paenther's turn and he starts out in quite the predicament. Captured and tortured by a Mage, he has nothing but hatred for them. However Palmer seemed to think that would make him a perfect pair for, you guessed it, a Mage. This book was intense, there were many emotional issues for Paenther to deal with. Skye also has her own set of issues. She seems to mousy for Paenther or perhaps she is the perfect match to his intense persona.

On a side note, if I read one more review of people complaining about character names and saying that they are "cheesy" or ridiculous because a letter was added to the name; I WILL SCREAM! Seriously coming up with names is not that easy and if you are only interested in all your characters being named; Bob, Jim, John and Joe then QUIT READING PARANORMAL GENRE.


Sorry just had to get that off my chest. ~Michelle

Obsession Untamed by Pamela Palmer Reviewed

Feral Warriors Book 2 -Obsession Untamed by Pamela Palmer Feral Feburary Reviews ~V^^^^V

Hmmm, well I was really wanting things to work out for Tighe after the first book so I was excited to read him next. Not to mention the whole cliff hanger situation at the end of the last book. Delany was pretty good, I mean some overly aggressive "I can do it all myself" women annoy me. That said she wasn't too bad and the relationship was entertaining to read, I was also interested to see how Pamela would handle the "human vs feral". Again I will tell you this is one of my favorite erotic paranormal romance series. It hooks you right in and before you know it the book is done. How did that happen?
