Save Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 4)

SPOILERS!

I was on this incredible high from book 3 so I just HAD to pick up book 4. Book 4 was a real disappointment. I knew Butch was special, and he definitely was, but it was such a boring story. It seemed as though the other Brothers had this incredible back history while the only thing Butch had that was weighing on his shoulders was the death of his sister. Although, you do find out some interesting information about his father towards the end of the book.

This book had a lot of focus on the Lessers as Butch becomes connected to them. I thought that aspect of this book was really good and I thought JR wrote Marissa's character perfectly. I also really enjoyed dealing with V.

Even though I didn't like this book, V said some things about himself in this book that I can't ignore so I must read the next one.Get more detail about Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 4).

Discount The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Nightfall

The first fifty pages didn't work for me, but then I really loved this book! I did not like Elena when she was being childlike. It was a real relief when she woke up and started thinking straight. There were some scenes that were steamier than the four previous books and it was scarier. As soon as I finished Nightfall, I bought Shadow Souls and I can't wait to start reading!Get more detail about The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Nightfall.

Cheapest Echo Burning (Jack Reacher, No. 5)

I listened to the audiobook and Dick Hill could read the telephone book and make it exciting and enjoyable. However, I wish I had known that the central premise of the book was in support of illegals living in the United States without legal documentation and remaining that way. And bashing the State of Texas and its government. I am not swayed by the author's misuse of the bully pulpit and I hope other readers and listeners are not influenced by the not so subliminal political tripe. To accuse the U.S. Border Patrol, fictional or real, because they do their job is disgusting. If other of Childs' books embrace this same or like premise, I for one will not read or listen to any of his written words. Come on, Lee, get off your high horse and write fiction w/o the political BS.Get more detail about Echo Burning (Jack Reacher, No. 5).

Cheap Shantaram: A Novel

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The story is epic with diverse rich set of characters. This is an amazing view of Bombay from arrival and getting to know the people through to building his deep understanding of the Indian people and customs. What I didn't like was the fact that the lines between fact and fiction are blurred in this book with the author not willing to divulge how much of the story is true.Get more detail about Shantaram: A Novel.

Buying Stealing Kathryn

I will gripe on Stealing Kathryn and state that if you have not read Hunting Julian, you really need to before reading the second book in the series. There are a lot of concepts that are just plain out there/weird to deal with and are not explained very well at all in the second book.

Also, this is a series about not just a completely different culture, but a completely different reality from Earth even thought its world and Earth are connected dimensions. Completely different Ethics and Morality from an Earth standpoint. This society essentially survives by "harvesting" emotions from other cultures -- Earth's in particular. They are Psychic Vampires. They even "feed" from mated pairs in their own society -- their legendary Kindra/soul mate relationship -- which I take it by book two of the series is going to be the theme for each book, that of each character finding his/her soul mate. I am seeing that the potential HEA for the series could be positive in that if enough harvester/gatherer characters -- which Julian and Adrian are -- find their soul mates, the resultant energy surplus would make their current predatory gatherer roles obsolete. A "win-win" from the point of view of us hapless Earthlings having our emotions siphoned off and transferred to this other dimension!

I loved Jacquelyn Frank's first series and the related Shadowdweller series. This new Gatherers series is a completely different direction. I enjoyed reading the two books, I get where Adrian had more than a personality change but also a complete physical change because of his particular Gatherer task to harvest nightmares. I found the heroine not so enjoyable as the heroine in the first book in this series, let alone her heroines in her first two series. Also, it seems like the heroine gives in too easily to the whole concept of: "Totally different reality and you're stuck here you can't go back but Hey! Your life essentially sucked back on Earth and your dad was lying to you/using you!" Perhaps part of the problem other readers have with this book is down to their dislike of the heroine.Get more detail about Stealing Kathryn.

Buy Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6)

Of all the books, this one was absolutely my least favorite. Phury and Cormia's romance was so bad that I figured Ward was just desperate. Both characters virgins, clueless when it comes to intimacy, and very quiet individuals. Reality dictates that people with these types of personalities never work out. Phury being a drug addict wasn't sitting right with me, and the "wizard" in his head was just outright disturbing. Cormia's personality is very hard to pinpoint because there isn't much on her take in the story. If I recall, I would say that John Matthew got more story than she did.Get more detail about Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6).
