Review: First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones

First Grave on the Right
Author:Darynda Jones
Release Date: February 1, 2011
Publisher: St. Martins Press
Charley Davidson Book #1
ISBN:  0312662750
ISBN13: 9780312662752
Genre: Paranormal Romance

A smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper.

Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light.” But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.

This is a thrilling debut novel from an exciting newcomer to the world of paranormal romantic suspense.


You need to pick up your own copy of FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT it was phenomenal. It has about everything you could ask for Mystery, suspense, action, romance, HUMOR OMG you will laugh your behind off, I dont think I went a few pages without laughing in the entire book. Charley's Personality ROCKS she is Witty, sassy, sarcastic, and determined with horrible luck but I absolutely want her to be my BFF. Reyes is dark, mysterious and sexy as can be. He has many secrets and it was fun to be a witness to Charley peeling back some of the layers of him. I can not wait to get my hands on SECOND GRAVE ON THE LEFT it cant come out soon enough for me.

I gave it 5/5 Stars

Early Review: Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton

Darkness Becomes Her
Author:Kelly Keaton
Release Date: February 22, 2011
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Gods & Monsters Book #1
ISBN:  144240924X
ISBN13: 9781442409248
Genre: Young Adult
Review Copy Source: Simon & Schuster Galley Grab

Ari can’t help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can’t be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is. 
Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it’s impossible to protect herself when she doesn’t know what she’s running from or why she is being pursued. 

She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her

Ari won’t stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.



DARKNESS BECOMES HER is a fresh new read filled with Mythology, action and mystery mixed with the paranormal. It started out with a girl who didn't know who or what she was and ended with a girl with a family history and future I could never have guessed would be revealed. The pacing of the book is fantastic, it moves and flows in and out of situations that leaves you wanting to read what comes next. I loved the setting. Post Hurricane disaster New Orleans is a place all its own, owned privately after the government washed its hands of it and now filled with magic, mystery and unpredictable situations.  Ari is defiantly a young heroine to keep your eyes on.



I gave it 4/5 Stars

Review: Darkness Dawns by Dianne Duvall

Darkness Dawns
Author:Dianne Duvall
Release Date: February 1, 2011
Publisher: Zebra
Immortal Guardians Book #1
ISBN:   1420118617
ISBN13: 9781420118612
Genre: Paranormal Romance


In this dazzling, sensual novel, Dianne Duvall beckons readers into a world of vampires, immortals, and humans with extraordinary gifts. . .where passion can last forever, if you're willing to pay the price. . . 

Once, Sarah Bingham's biggest challenge was making her students pay attention in class. Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she's landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control. . . 

In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible--when it means forfeiting the world she's always known, and the life he would do anything to protect. . . 



I very much enjoyed it, Didn't want to stop reading it, didn't want it to end. The book starts out with action and mystery and ends with action and mystery. The Chemistry between the 2 main characters is there from the start and builds wonderfully. The romance is off the wall sexy and steamy. We got lots of fantastic information to help us through the story at a wonderful pace. The secondary characters were introduced into the story well so that we are intrigued and wanting to get to their future books to find out more about them. I enjoyed Dianne Duvall's writing style and the world she has created for The Immortal Guardians, great kickoff to a series I will defiantly continue reading.
