Review: Bitten in Two by Jennifer Rardin

Bitten in Two

Author: Jennifer Rardin

Release Date: November 8, 2010

Publisher: Orbit

Jaz Parks Book #7

ISBN: #9780316043786
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Jaz Parks here. I. Am. Pissed. Just as Vayl and I arrive in Morocco to secure an ancient artifact, he wakes up calling me by another woman’s name. And it’s not even a good one. But since any form of argument transforms him into an unholy terror, I’m forced to play along until the gang and I can figure out what kind of power has so vastly altered his perceptions.

So it’s time for me to do what any well-trained assassin in my position might do. I attack. What follows is a hair-raising, breath-taking bullet train ride to the finish as the crew battles on multiple fronts. I now know what I have to do – I must return to hell one last time.

The story starts out with Val having lost his memory and the crew, Jaz, Colin, Bergman, trying to find out what has happened to him and how to get his mind back to the current century. There is a TON of tension going on, Jaz being upset that Val doesn't remember her, Colin being in love with Jaz but Jaz not loving him back, The inn owner that likes Bergman but Bergman just doesn't get it, and of course the presence of the Demon Kyphos who wants Colin but Colin will never love her. I was pretty lost for most of the whole memory loss bit, It was all a bit confusing in the beginning and they hardly do anything about what they are really there for (in Morocco) until half way threw the book. Right before Val gets his current memories back it finally picks up and the actions starts, it gets much better from there. Bergman completely blew me away with some of his actions and Cole went through hell for a while and the book kinda left some stuff with him unfinished But Im sure that will be cleared up in book 8 The Deadliest Bite. The story was so unpredictable towards the end that I was glued to the pages wanting to know what else could possibly happen. If you start off reading it and want to put it down DON'T keep going it gets better.

Review: Blood Heat by Maria Lima

Blood Heat

Author: Maria Lima

Release Date: October 26, 2010

Publisher: Pocket

Blood Lines Book #4

ISBN: #9781439167779

Genre: Urban Fantasy
Texas is heating up. . . .The summer heat wave that’s hit Rio Seco, Texas, has even the vampires complaining, but now that Keira—the Kelly Heir—is home from Vancouver, the weather isn’t the only thing too hot to handle. Keira should be setting up her court and planning the big reception at which she and her consort, vampire ruler Adam Walker, will receive the magical leaders from the local area, but pomp and circumstance just aren’t Keira’s thing, especially not with trouble smoldering in her domain. A werewolf couple has mysteriously gone missing from a local pack, and when Keira is asked by their leader to investigate, she finds that some dissatisfied neighbors may have been taking, well, strong action against the wer community—action that could be repeated and could involve Keira and those she loves. With the reception looming and danger fast blazing out of control, the pressure is on Keira to keep Texas safe for supernaturals. Sometimes, it’s just not that great to be Heir. . . 

The book starts as Keira has completed a 3 month training stint with Gigi on being the Kelly Heir and is now back in Rio Seco. The whole Court is getting ready for the big reception where all the of the people Keira and Adam will rule over come in and meet them and also where Keira will Blood Bond with her Brothers/protectors. If the stress of that isn't bad enough they are visited by a local werewolf pack that has been having members disappear and they jump right into that investigation.


 I didn't feel that Blood Heat had as much action as the previous books in the Blood Lines series. I still thought the book was written very well and we learn a little bit more about Adam and Keira's past. The ending will get you excited to read the next book as we will finally be getting into stuff about Keira's Mothers side of the family tree!! The next book is guaranteed to have a TON of drama.


I gave it 4/5

Early Review: The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

The Iron Queen

Author: Julie Kagawa

Release Date: February 1, 2011

Publisher: Harlequin Teen

Iron Fey Book #3

ISBN: #9780373210183
Genre: YA Paranormal
Review Copy Source: Netgalley.com
My name is Meaghan Chase.

I thought it was over.That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stay by my side. Drag me into the core of a conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it.

This time, there will be no turning back.

I don't know about anyone else but I sometimes find it super hard to review a book. Well this is one of them for me. For one this book was fantastic!! BUT the only things I want to talk about in the book are parts that if I tell you will spoil it so I'm at a loss for what to say. Julie Kagawa has a fantastic writing style that pulls you into her world and lets you feel what her characters feel and makes you experience everything right along with them. I felt sadness, grief, fear, happiness,pain, love, loss all right along with Meaghan, Ash, puck and everyone else. Meaghan goes threw a lot in this installment of the Iron Fey and comes out having lost, sacrificed and won all at the same time. If you liked The Iron King, Winters Passage and The Iron Daughter you are going to LOVE The Iron Queen and if you haven't already read them, you must pick them up and catch up for the release. ALSO if you haven't already heard the series isn't over, Julie is now working on Iron Fey #4 The Iron Knight!!

I give it a 5/5 stars
