Review: Die For Me by Amy Plum
Die For Me (Revenants #1) by Amy Plum Paranormal YA May 10, 2011 Hardcover HarperTeen Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “You’re the one who took a bite of the apple Kate. Although with a serpent that handsome, I can’t say I blame you.” I was very surprised and pleased by how much I enjoyed Die For Me by Amy Plum. A very romantic and intriguing YA that captures the youthful voice of her characters exceptionally well without miring it down with the often present emo angst and ‘woe is Continue Reading
Review: Etched in Bone by Adrian Phoenix
Etched In Bone (The Makers Song #4) by Adrian Phoenix Urban Fantasy February 22, 2011 Paperback Pocket Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “Each of us is shaped by the truth of our natures.” Etched In Bone is the 4th book in Ms. Phoenix’s Makers Song series. Short in terms of a timeline (everything takes place in approximately 3-4 days) but deep in emotional turmoil and angst. I recommend starting at the beginning-A Rush Of Wings- because the over all arc and it’s intertwining sub Continue Reading
Mandi’s Little Rant About Hard Bitten
**Spoilers about Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill and the series in general** I’ve been contemplating why I didn’t like the end of Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill (book 4 in her Chicagoland Vampire series). I talked about it a bit in my review, but didn’t want to go into it too much before release date. Now the book has been out a week and I need to rant again. There is a huge cliffhanger at the end and it has really bothered me. For the most part I do like cliffhangers in most urban Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – May 6th
10. My Week – Been a kind of crazy week. We had a rabid fox in our yard. Now – it wasn’t walking around drunk and foamy – it had what the vet called – passive rabies. We could walk up to it and it just stared at us. Supposedly foxes are suppose to run away scared if a human comes up to it. (Unless people feed it) But this one definitely had something wrong with it. Now, I did have a fleeting moment where I thought it might shift into a sexy, 6’8 man with red hair. But this fox wasn’t a shifter. Continue Reading
