Weekly Geeks v9.22: Review Catch-Up

It’s funny that this weeks theme for Weekly Geeks is catching up on our reviews.

  1. In your blog, list any books you’ve read but haven’t reviewed yet. If you’re all caught up on reviews, maybe you could try this with whatever book(s) you hope to finish this week.
  2. Ask your readers to ask you questions about any of the books they want. In your comments, not in their blogs.
  3. Later, take whichever questions you like from your comments and use them in a post about each book. Link to each blogger next to that blogger’s question(s).

I was a bit behind with reviews this week and had three of them waiting in the wings.  However, I just finished writing up the last one tonight, so now I’m all caught up.  So I get to do the other option for this week and I kind of enjoy that one more.  It tends to have more reader involvement and it also helps me think of what I should put into my reviews.  So, here are the books I’m going to try and get through this week:

Deadly Desire by Keri Arthur (Riley Jenson #7)

Guardian Riley Jenson always seems to face the worst villains. And this time’s no different. For it’s no ordinary sorceress who can raise the dead to do her killing. But that’s exactly what Riley expects to find at the end of a trail of female corpses used—and discarded—in a bizarre ritual of evil. With pressure mounting to catch one fiend, another series of brutal slayings shocks the vampire world of her lover, Quinn. So the last thing Riley needs is the heat of the upcoming full moon bringing her werewolf hormones to a boil—or the reappearance of a sexy bounty hunter, the rogue wolf Kye Murphy.

Riley has threatened Murphy with arrest if he doesn’t back off the investigation, but it’s Riley who feels handcuffed by Kye’s lupine charm. Torn between her vamp and wolf natures, between her love for Quinn and her hots for Kye, Riley knows she’s courting danger and indulging the deadliest desires. For her hunt through the supernatural underworld will bring her face-to-face with what lurks in a darkness where even monsters fear to tread.

Chains by Shiloh Walker

The national bestselling author of “blazingly hot” (Sensual Romance Reviews) novels raises the temperature even more with three all-new stories of sizzling suspense

Renee was the homecoming queen with the perfect boyfriend and the perfect life. Lacey was the golden girl with the bright future. And Sherra always looked like the princess in a fairy tale. The three girls each seemed charmed—until one tragic night shattered their hopes for normalcy.

Now, fifteen years later, the women are returning to their hometown of Madison, Ohio, where three men await them—each dangerous in his own way. And when each of the women succumb to desire, they may also find the safety they’ve been searching for.

Lord of Misrule by Rachel Caine (Morganville Vampires #5)

In the college town of Morganville, vampires and humans coexist in (relatively) bloodless harmony. Then comes Bishop, the master vampire who threatens to abolish all order, revive the forces of the evil dead, and let chaos rule. But Bishop isn’t the only threat.

Violent black cyclone clouds hover, promising a storm of devastating proportions as student Claire Danvers and her friends prepare to defend Morganville against elements both natural and unnatural.

About Jackie 3282 Articles
I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

  1. Chains sounds like it’s told from 3 different perspectives. Is it? If so, does it do a good job of connecting the storylines?

    Oh, check out my Weekly Geeks post here.

  2. The relative co-existing harmony between vamps and humans is the back ground in Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series. Lords of Misrule sounds like it is much the same?

  3. About Lord of Misrule, I’m dying to know how the vampires and humans are able to live together peacefully. Are there a lot more humans than vampires? Also, this sounds a little like the Buffy TV series. Is it like that or totally different?

    Chains sounds a lot like “I know what you did last summer” but with an erotic romance-novel kind of twist. Is that the case?

    Would you recommend any of these especially for people who read more sort of mainstream horror but might be interested in reading something with weird erotic tension?

    My Weekly Geeks assignment is here: Blood Water

  4. Wow…no one wants to know more about Deadly Desire??? Amusing that the three comments I’ve seen so far have been for Lord of Misrule and Chains.

    The Dark – I will always recommend Keri Arthur to anyone who wants to try a UF novel. She is fabulous!

  5. Ooh, me! Me! I want to know more about Deadly Desire! It sounds like it has potential to be very steamy, but does it work, or does the vampire/werewolf thing just make for some cheesy wanna-be steaminess?

  6. Also, I just jumped over to Amazon and saw that Deadly Desire is the 7th book in a series. Does it stand alone or do you need to have read the other 6?
