Bloodfever

So fans, #2 was even better. You just keep following this young lady through the streets of Dublin trying to solve her sisters murder and stay alive in the meantime. And there is this guy...Barrons! Yikes! I love the guy! So I am starting on the third book while waiting for my copy of Mockingjay to arrive. I also am doing something a little uncharacteristic for me. Reading 2 books at a time. One is kind of a theory book though, so it can be done. "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell. Fantastic! Makes you really think. It is not a hard read though. Just intriguing. anyone read it?
Also, just so you know, my book club has chosen "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" for our book this month. AND, if anyone wants to join our club, we are looking for some avid readers to come join our fun.

Darkfever


O my! A dear family member of mine, (wink, wink) recommended this book to me. I couldn't pull my nose out of it. She compared it to Twilight. I guess that's close. This book has a lot of mystery and stuff though. I am on the second book now and that says alot because I have not been able to get into anything.
So, this book I would only recommend to those who can handle some pretty "squirm in your chair moments." And I don't mean scary. Although it has those too. There are also some f-bombs throughout.
Basically a girl goes to Ireland to look into the murder of her sister and finds anything but answers. She finds out she is not who she thinks she is and ends up relying on "Jericho Barrons" , a good or bad guy, I don't know. But sexy hot I am sure.
So if you dare, this is a pretty good book. The writing is not award winning, but it is an easy read and a intriguing story. So, there you have it. I made it through a book. Miracle!
