Bloodlust by Michelle Rowen (Nightshade #2) Urban Fantasy July 5, 2011 Paperback Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I read the first book in this series, Nightshade earlier this year and really enjoyed it.

This leaves him unable to love, or feel any emotion. This is a problem since Jill thinks she is Continue Reading

I find the addition of Christianity (or any religion) as the main plot line to be, well, a mood killer. Bear with me. I have nothing Continue Reading
