Witches, Vampires and Demons? Oh, this book has that and more. A little mythology, there is some insta-love, I know, I know, raging Alpha Males and Diana can be whiny at times; I still loved it.
I'm a sucker for wolves.
It could do with a little trimming, but such deep history and awesome finds. BUNDLING!! GAH!!!! Plus, there was a bombardment of characters towards the end it was a little hard to keep up with.
Psycho ex-girlfriends, jealous witches..there was enough crazy to make my head spin.
I can’t wait to read book two. Also, the narrator is amazing! She is able to do a wide variety of voices and accents that I can tell the difference between characters.
I regret nothing...

She hunters makes: and of that substance hounds
Whose mouths deafe heaven, and furrow earth with wounds, And marvaile not a Nimple so rich in grace
To hounds rude pursuits should be give in chase.
For she could turne her selfe to everie shape
Of swiftest beasts, and at her pleasure scape.

"Normal is a bedtime story-a fable-that humans tell themselves to feel better when faced with overwhelming evidence that most of what's happening around them is not 'normal' at all."

""Vampires aren't particularly good at friendship." He sounded angry again.
"Look, if you want me to leave you alone-"
"Of course not," Matthew interrupted. "It's just that vampire relationships are...complicated. We can be protective-possessive, even. You might not like it."
"A little protectiveness sounds pretty good to me about now."
Oh geez...."

""Turn to me with all your heart. Do not refuse me because I am dark and shadowed. The fire of the sun has altered me. The seas have encompassed me. The earth has been corrupted because of my work. Night fell over the earth when I sank into the miry deep, and my substance was hidden.""

I am. I seen it at the resale shop here by my house for like five bucks.
Ok cool!! The third comes out July 15. This is another of my most favorite series. I'm sure they'll be all my fault, too. ;0)
I'm just going to add these to its all shandras fault shelf. Lol. I like our buddy reads, I get to use that shelf a lot.
Hahahahaha. I like our buddy reads too!!! Ok, so June it is!!! As June approaches, we can set a date to start.
And that's after your wedding, so I wont have to fight for your attention! Lol. When is the big day again, I have a horrible memory.
Nope, no attention fighting!! lol. May 17th. So starting May 4 when everyone starts coming and I have a packed house, my presence here may be scarce. :-/
I will bombard your profile with odd and funny pictures for you to look at when you get time away! I am happy for you, congratulations and if it was my wedding, I would get shit faced!
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Yay!!! Bombard away!!! I'm gonna try to pop on once a day, at least. I'm not sure how crazy busy I'll be, but I know I'll definitely be busy. Thanks for the congrats, I'm so excited!!! Trust me, I plan to get shit faced. Maybe not AT the wedding (pics and videos after all), but we leave for Vegas the day after the wedding...soooo... LOL
Ok...I would get shit faced on the WAY to Vegas. Lol. You will be super busy..but just put a selfie up in your wedding dress. That's all..and later of the wedding! I might cry that day...might not..just a heads up! I cry for weddings and I have only been to two!
Haha. I'll definitely post some pictures!! :0) I'll be a bawling mess, I'm sure!!!

She is awesome!
Thank you Boo-Thang..I didn't see this till now.
I agree about the narrator! I thought she did a wonderful job subtly distinguishing between voices.

Yes - and she maintains that level of quality throughout the trilogy. Amazing.
