Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2002

Read with caution - This series is addictive
I read the first in this series, "Dead Until Dark" and loved it. This installment "hooked me". Sookie finds herself seriously attacked by a "creature" and is saved from a certain death by the vampires by a quite unusual approach. Sookie and Bill find themselves ...

Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2008

Dead Until Dark is Very Much Alive
HBO is showing a new series this year titled "True Blood." The TV show is based on Charlaine Harris's book Dead Until Dark. Based on is perhaps not true. The series follows the book almost exactly. I suspect that the first season is the first book in Ms. Harris's ...

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Will Jacob's relationship eclipse Edward?
If you liked Twilight and wasn't as excited about New Moon, you will love Eclipse. There's love (of course), vampires, werewolves, and a series of killings. What's nice about this one is that both Edward and Jacob are present. Although quite different, both add ...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Get Over It
Ok so my sissy got me hooked on the twilight series and I am so in love with them. When I was going to buy the 4th book I was reading the reviews and was very disappointed when everyone was bashing the book as terrible. It is in no way terrible it is awesome! It was ...

Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)

Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

A good read and a great installment in the series.
I love the "Eragon" Series and am really satisfied with this installment. It has plenty of twist and turns and more than enough action. I suggest this book along with "Eldest" and "Eragon" However good this book is I do suggest you read the aforementioned books first ...

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

2nd book in the series
I loved the book because it just continued the story for me. I love Bella and Edward together and in this book it is more of Bella and Jacob. Bella can't get over that Edward left her because it was for her own good. He was afraid she was going to get hurt, but of ...

Inkdeath (Inkheart)

Cornelia Funke

The Chicken House, 2008

Funke is on a serious roll
I love the Inkheart trilogy, I seriously can't get enough of it! I must admit at first I was somewhat reluctant to read the conclusion to the trilogy, afraid it might be a letdown as most serie-enders are becoming, but it was as excellent as the first and second books ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

From A Man Who Has Read 'Twilight'
For many reasons I banned reading this book. Working in retail with teenie girls barraging the bookstands demanding for the next Stephanie Meyer book was just annoying and made me believe these books were meant for the intelligently-deficient. A friend online said I ...

Dead to the World (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 4)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2005

My favorite in this series so far
I absolutely loved this book and it's my favorite so far in this series. Sookie is an incredible character. She's sweet, smart, sassy and doesn't take any crap from anyone. She's also a telepath, which makes her even more interesting. She finds Eric, a gorgeous ...

Club Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 3)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2003

Gripping Story - I can't get enough of this series
I liked this almost as much as my favorite so far in this series, (book 4 - Dead to the World). Sookie's boyfriend, Vampire Bill goes out of town on business and turns up missing. Sookie agrees to help find him and works with Eric (Bill's Vampire Boss) and ...

Anathem

Neal Stephenson

William Morrow, 2008

We are fortunate to live in such a time as to have Neal Stephenson
Brilliance. Stephenson delivers another piece of beauty that is incomparable. Having already constructed the Greatest Story Ever Told (The Baroque Trilogy,) the bar is incredibly high. Regardless, Anathem delivers an incredibly intellectual conversation rooted in ...

The Graveyard Book

Neil Gaiman

HarperCollins, 2008

It takes a graveyard
Imagine Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"... but replace the animals with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves and other such supernatural creatures. Such is the concept of "The Graveyard Book," which cleverly turns Kipling's classic story into an exquisitely-written, darkly ...

The Host: A Novel

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

The Host
Dear Stephenie Meyer, When I was first considering reading The Host I was reluctant. I was a pessimist thinking about how it wasn't emotionally possible to be as good as your Twilight series. That the writing that made me love the impossible romance where vampires ...

Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2007

Great vampire series
Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6) Charlaine Harris really knows how to write a book, if you like your vampire series with a bit of humor you will like these books, if you like your mysteries with a bit of what we call "Woo Woo" (in other words ...

Dead as a Doornail (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 5)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2006

Another Fabulous Installment
I am surprised that this series just gets better and better as you read it. This book makes a shift to focus more on werewolfes and shapeshifters and of course, most of them accept her. We also see a little more from the fairies. The book picks up on the storyline ...
