Eternal Hunter (Night Watch, #1) by Cynthai Eden

Eternal Hunter (Night Watch, #1)Eternal Hunter by Cynthai Eden

My rating: 5 of 5 stars









Cynthia Eden delves into the dark realms of the Others, where desires and dangerous games await the unsuspecting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.



Assistant DA Erin Jerome has a secret. Make that two. One: She’s not entirely human–she’s Other, desperately trying to keep her supernatural strength under wraps. Two: she’s got a killer stalking her–an Other rogue set on “gifting” her bloody corpses, not to mention nights lying awake in terror. Small wonder she’s been having bad luck with men.



But the bounty hunter on her new case isn’t worried about any of that. Jude Donovan is a shapeshifter himself, and the new DA’s midnight hair and addictive scent tell him all he thinks he needs to know: She’s gorgeous, she’s definitely not human, and she’s bringing out the animal in him in a really good way. He might have to track a psychotic Other stalker through half of Louisiana. But he might also get the chance to watch Erin’s wild side come out and play.

by Sherrilyn Kenyon



Just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse...



Nick Gautier’s day just keeps getting better and better. Yeah, he survived the zombie attacks, only to wake up and find himself enslaved to a world of shape-shifters and demons out to claim his soul.



His new principal thinks he’s even more of a hoodlum than the last one, his coach is trying to recruit him to things he can’t even mention and the girl he’s not seeing, but is, has secrets that terrify him.



But more than that, he’s being groomed by the darkest of powers and if he doesn’t learn how to raise the dead by the end of the week, he will become one of them...

My Thoughts.......



Wow ! Off to a great new series.Sherrilyn Kenyon continues to reinvent the character of Nick Gautier by turning back the clock to when he was a teenager(He first appeared in her Dark Hunter saga)In a engrossing tale where Nick football coach is possessed my a ruthless paranormal entity  and is blacking mailing his students into stealing things of interest for him so he can perfect the spell he needs. Focuses on Nick and has made him a puppet in his skim of things. Torn between doing what is right and wrong he needs to make a choice or he will be among the walking dead before the weeks out.Nick enlists the help of his friends to conquer this demon or what ever entity it is playing along with his game. Nick is trying to learn about his formidable powers, from Death but, he still is dealing with bullies and his smothering mother and a bunch of demons who want to exterminate him. But , he needs to do it quickly so that they can form a plan and crack this case.And engaging tale that looks promising.As nicks formidable  powers grow it will be something to watch as he will be a live formidable teenager and not a dead one.Sherrilyn is not letting you you forget about your favorite Dark hunters either they are included in this new series. Found Nick to be lots of fun ,witty, smart,humorous and a lot of fun to read about in his latest adventure. And as always Simi is one of my favorites as she graces the pages and is a hoot! Nick has has 2 people protecting him while he is learning of his magic abilities and a new girlfriend to boot who is his protector to.Will this alliance work out? We will just have to see. Great for readers both young and old.

Don't Talk Back To Your Vampire (Broken Heart Vampires, #2) by Michele Bardsley


Don't Talk Back To Your Vampire (Broken Heart Vampires #2)
by Michele Bardsley

Being a mother is never easy-especially when you're undead.

Eva LeRoy, Broken Heart, Oklahoma's librarian, got "vampified" when everyone else did: during a rogue vampire's feeding frenzy. But books still make her undead heart beat-and, strangely enough, so does Lorcan the Loner, the vampire who killed her...

My thoughts

My first book my Michele and loved it. Her writing and wit reminded me about another favorite author of mine Gerry Bartlett. I laughed, I cried, and I started wondering if all the hot Gaelic speaking men lived in some sleepy little town in Oklahoma .This little sleepy town had some really HOT vampires where a girl like me would like to find a vamp of her own speaking all sexy Gaelic makes a girl all dreamy and melting inside. LOL I really loved Lorcan and Eva, they were my kind of couple. They both had self-esteem issues, responsibilities, and were strong yet vulnerable on their own. Both grew together in order to get over there complex issues and also learning to forgive and accept the past in order to be happy with ones future.

It seems like a very real town and all these parents are dealing with very real issues: how to do right by their kids, how to set up a working schedule, and how to blend their new lives . The fact that they are vampire's and parents they still had to raise there kids like every other single parent but slightly different. I liked the fact that Eva daughter was accepting of her mother's new life style.The scenes going on between mother and daughter are like any other parents you fight and make up.

Eva's character made me laugh out loud so many of times she was too funny for someone who was suppose to be a mousy librarian. Lorcan had so many layers to him it was nice to see all of the unfolding before your eyes.Several twists and turns along the way. They gave you a little background as to what happened and why 11 single parents where made vampire and why.The other characters when brought over from the first book and included in this book made it fun an interesting. Eva surprised me the most of all forgiving the vampire who turned her life upside down and saw his tortured soul and wanted to ease it by loving him. Not a lot going on in this story just a slow budding romance with two unlikely couples falling in love and one making a sacrifice to save the one they love.

Looking forward to picking up the first that started the series and reading the rest of the series .I am thinking there will be many laughs ahead to read about. Fast fun read read the book in a couple of hours.
