I just started Eve of Darkness this weekend and whoa it is a good read. Those Cain and Abel brothers are quite steamy! The third in the series, Eve of Chaos comes out June 30th.
I’ve been wanting to try Vicki Pettersson for awhile now so I snatched them up at ACRead. I have no idea what they are about so it will be fun to dive right in.
Pearl says
Ooh, that contemporary book by Julie James is on my wishlist too! Let me know how it was, when you've read it!
TOO TASTE TEMPTATION is a great way to start reading Elizabeth Hoyt! I am addicted to her writing!
Hugs,
Pearl
Amy C says
You got a nice load of books! I haven't read Elizabeth Hoyt either :).
And I don't watch True Blood! I tried. But I just don't like the blood. Different to read it than it is to watch it.

You had a great week – hope you enjoy your new books.
Kristen says
You got some good looking books. Enjoy!

Blodeuedd says
Good week, and yes that cover is so cool.
Teddyree says
Oh I'm so jealous, season 2 of True Blood hasn't started in Australia :-(
Have a great reading week
dox mom says
Bill is a "gentleman (albeit a vampire one!) Eric just looks out for Eric, besides Bill is ten times cuter!
Patti says
I haven't read any of those books – my TBR list is getting longer! So glad True Blood is back! My friend came over to watch and kept asking who my fictional boyfriend was and pointing out guys, of course when Eric finally came onscreen he had the foils in his hair and my friend was just "What, that's your boyfriend?"
Mandi says
Pearl – I can't wait to get Julie James!
Amy – Glad I am not the only one who hasn't read her:)
Bermudaonion – Thanks!
Kristen – Off to check out your mailbox!
Blodeuedd – I love a good cover:)
Teddyree – It will be worth the wait ;)
Mom – I have a gentleman in my life..now I need to lust after the fictional bad boys ;)
Mandi says
Patti – LOL! Hey we never said our boyfriends weren't vain!! I mean..it is a lot of work for them to say smexy for us :)
(I loved that scene!! It was perfect)
Carolyn Crane (aka CJ) says
Hey, what a great choice! I loved JTSMA. And you have me thinking about the EVE series now!!
jennilovevirgo says
Looks like you got yourself a nice batch of books last week. I still have to go over and post my Mailbox Monday goodies on my new blog, this will be my first time doing this. As for True Blood, omg..it was great! I agree with you, Eric is so much more bad ass than Bill..and so much better looking in my honest opinion. I love the bad boy, and Bill is not him..lol.
Fantasy Dreamer says
Congrats to the winners!
Nice load of books. I really enjoyed the Eve of Darkness. I have Eve of Destruction but I'm going to wait and read when Eve of Chaos comes out. So, I can read them together.
I haven't read any of the Vicki Pettersson books but I'm participating an Autograph Game. The book being passed around is A Scent of Shadows. I can't wait for my turn to read it, which should be soon.
I'm Team Eric myself, on the show and in the books! Like you, I prefer the tough guy versus the sweet and mushy one. ;)
VampFanGirl says
Congrats to the winners!!
Whoa, quite a haul you got here Mandi! ;)
I'm waiting for the third book in the S.J. Day series to release before I start the series. I want to be able to read them back to back. I'm so happy that you liked the first one. Yay!
Oh, me too. I haven't read Elizabeth Hoyt. But funnily enough, I have all her books…
Happy Reading,
VFG
Staci says
I like the cover too!! And I didn't watch True Blood because I've never seen the first season!!! Must rent it!!
Tracy says
I think you'll really like Just the Sexiest Man Alive…and of course get ready to buy Practice Makes Perfect, JJ's second book. So darned good!!!
You got some great books this week!
Ladybug says
Oh no! I just had to read a spoiler LOL.
Great books in your mailbox this week, Mandi! Enjoy your new books.
Congratulations to the winners :)
Mandi says
CJ – Eve series is so good so far!!
Jenni – Mailbox posts are fun:) Yay for team Eric!! I love a bad ass.
FD – An autograph game sounds like fun..will have to find out what that is lol!
Mandi says
VFG – I can't decide if I will dive into the second Eve book right now or not…glad I found them though!
Staci – yes rent it..it will be fun to watch them all at once. We are doing that with Dexter right now.
Tracy – can't wait to get it!!
Ladybug – oh no! sorry!
Fantasy Dreamer (Donna) says
The autograph game I'm playing in is being hosted by Cassandra Curtis over on her blog. Here is a link to the game and the rules.
Cass had a contest and the winner got to pick who would play in the game. I was lucky enough that the winner asked Cass to contact me to see if would want to play also. And of course I did, for one it sounds like fun and I've been wanting to read that series plus it's also giving back to author. :)
