Review Plot Your Health, a Journey to Wellness Planner by C.J. Ellisson


REVIEW

Finally a planner for people who need to keep track of their health. 

This is a great way to keep track of your meds, treatments, symptoms, moods, appointments and more- all in one place. 

When you go to doctor visits you can take this with you so all your info is in one handy place.

It helped me keep track of my meds and symptoms which I had been having a hard time doing.

I highly recommend Plot Your Health for people with chronic illnesses.

Review Vampire Free Style Issue 6

I adore the colorful covers and art of the Vampire Free Style comic books.

My 13 year old daughter loves them too.

I honestly don;t read a lot of graphic novels or comic books because I like linear reading not boxes and bubbles. However I love the art. Being a visual person seeing such eye catching covers and pages of art pulls me in and makes me want to explore.

Once inside the books I find...I kinda like it there. I have read and reviewed the first five books in the series so I was quite pleased to get book 6.

Witches, magic, love, vampires...and a black cat. What's not to love?

The story is complex and magical and it keeps you reading though I must admit I am more enchanted by the artwork than the story. The artwork really tells the story. 

The covers are full color and absolutely gorgeous while the inside is done in glossy black and white with a modern gothic feel. The overall effect is mesmerizing. You keep turning the pages to see more.

And the story will pull you in with it's romance, the quirky characters, the magic....it will not disappoint.

Be sure to drop by the website http://www.neptunefactory.com and  Facebook page to see some of the artwork: http://www.facebook.com/vampirefreestyle and see where you can get your own copy of Vampire Free Style.

A Review of Taste Me by Tamara Hogan






.25
4.25 Fangs for Taste Me by Tamara Hogan





A great start to a new series by Tamara Hogan.

If you love all things paranormal you'll love this book. It has it all- vampires, succubi, incubi, sirens- all part of the Underworld.

But it has a twist. These supernatural creatures came to earth when they crashed here. Hmmm... tad bit of sci-fi flare added in to make things interesting and different.

I would have loved to see more sizzle between Scarlett and Lukas from the start but the world building and action are pretty good making this more of an urban fantasy book than a paranormal romance, though don't get me wrong once the romance hits the sex scenes are steamy.

The murder mystery, club scenes and song lists add more interest to the book. I think this first book builds up the world and characters in a way that will make the subsequent books in this series flow much better.

It's something edgy and new for the genre and I liked it. I hope to read more of this new exciting world Hogan has created.

A Review of The Devil You Know by Jenna Black



Four Fangs for The Devil You Know

The Devil You Know is the second book in the Morgan Kingsley series by Jenna Black.

In Morgan's world demons not only exist but some people worship them and offer up their bodies to become demon hosts. Demons not only possess human bodies, but it is legal to do so unless uninvited.

In this book Morgan realizes she's more deeply involved in the demon world than she ever imagined and now she's so far in she'll never get out her only choice is to fight what comes her way.

She still hosts the King of all the Demons inside her though her aura is so powerful no one knows she is the host except a trusted few of her "friends" and her brother Andy who awakens from his catatonic state. And though his mind is fine he's not willing to talk about some things...mainly Morgan's past and why she was really in the hospital when she was a teenager.

Add to all the drama going on now there's a sociopath demon hunting down Morgan because he wants to get to Lugh, the demon King Morgan hosts though everyone thinks she cast him into another host.

Morgan learns more about her past than she ever wanted to know and some family secrets break her heart but explain so much...

The Devil You Know is a wild ride in a demon infested world. Complicated, dark, and sometimes sexy this world gives us a look at what living with demons would be like.
Sometimes it kinda gives me the heebie jeebies thinking about demons running around infesting people. Ick. Can you imagine having your body hijacked and your mind still on but not able to control anything. So creepy.

This book wasn't as sexy as the first in the series though it did answer a lot of questions about Morgan- of course it opened up a whole new line of questions as well.

If you are looking for a wild ride of an urban fantasy series that offers something a little different (no vamps, wolves, or witches here) this is a great series to try.
