Continuing with The Eternal Kiss anthology, edited by Trisha Telep, I just finished the fifth story, Undead is Very In Right Now by Sarah Rees Brennan.  This was my first story by Brennan and I have to say she got my attention.

Undead is Very In Right Now was a really cute story that not only worked for focusing on a vampire, but could easily be applied to any real life celebrity.  The story centers around a pretty young vampire, Christian, who is picked to join a new boy band.  Vampires are out in this world, but they aren’t as out there as a lot of series.  They still have that mystery around them and not everyone really thinks about them existing.  That may sound mean, but that’s the reaction I felt when it was revealed to …

It’s the first Night Huntress World novel and I have to say that Jeaniene Frost is definitely doing something right.  First Drop of Crimson is another fascinating story and one everyone should be hoping to get.

The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows—her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield—and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family’s past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness—and a demon shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her.

He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human—even if it means destroying his own kind. Denise may …

The third novel in Judi Fennell’s Merpeople series, Catch of a Lifetime is another fun addition that really had me wishing for warm weather so I could hit the beach.

She’s on a mission to save the planet…
Mermaid Angel Tritone has been researching humans from afar, hoping to find a way to convince them to stop polluting. When she jumps into a boat to escape a shark attack, it’s her chance to pursue her mission, but she has to keep her identity a total secret…

When he finds out what she really is, they’re both in mortal danger…
For Logan Hardington, finding a beautiful woman on his boat is surely not a problem—until he discovers she’s a mermaid, and suddenly his life is on the line…

Being the third novel in a series, the world for

I love fairy tales, especially when they’ve been twisted around; so when I saw that Shiloh Walker was writing one involving various Grimm fairy tales, I was excited. The first story in the new Grimm Circle series is Candy Houses and it involves two characters you really don’t hear much of in revisited fairy tales – Rip Van Winkle and Gretel.

Greta didn’t get her happy ending her first time around. And now that she’s a Grimm—special kind of guardian angel and official ass-kicker in the paranormal world—romance is hard to find. Besides, there’s only ever been one man who made her heart race, and the fact that he did scared her right out of his arms. Now Rip is back. And just in time too, because Greta needs his help.

On a mission he knows is …

I am always interested in reading something with a little more suspense and Legend of the White Wolf did not disappoint.

In this fourth in Spear’s series, Private Eye Cameron MacPherson and Faith O’Mallery are both on quests that lead them into the world of magical wolves…

Cameron arrives in Maine to search for his partners in his P.I. business who are late returning from a hunting trip. Faith is there to discover what her father had seen in the same area years earlier that had made him lose touch with reality—man-wolves, he called them.

The two tumble into an icy world of enemies bent on destroying the lupus garou kind. As they turn into lupus garou themselves, and bond with the pack that only they can rescue from destruction, Cameron and Faith find their soul mates in each …
