MARTINA'S MAY COVER HUNT CHALLENGE - 9/10 Completed

Almost there!

SINGLE MALE ON COVER
1.Lion's Heat (Breed #21/Feline #13) by Lora Leigh - 5/12 - ★★�1/2 - Finally! Jonas' story! The series arc continues with more trouble from Bradenmore, but this book focuses mainly on Jonas and his mate & assistant, Rachel - not to mention her 3 month old child. A baby in the story is an interesting twist that I enjoyed a lot. Although how the baby never wakes up during the intimate moments (the way my baby always does) I'll never know.
2.Rises the Night (Gardella Vampire Chronicles, Book 2) by Colleen Gleason - 5/29 - ★★★★1/2 - I enjoyed this second in series a bit more than the first one, I think. It's technically a UF book, but there's a pretty good amount of sexual tension/sex to keep us romance lovers happy. There's also less of the world-building that was a bit awkward in the first book and more interesting plot twists & turns. A formerly trustworthy ally is working for the enemy and the writing was good enough that I honestly wasn't sure until the very end whether or not the person was working undercover or had truly defected to the other side. I'll definitely read the next one!
3.Aiden's Charity (Wolf Breeds, Book 3) by Lora Leigh - 5/30 - ★★�1/2 - Lora Leigh's earlier Breed stories by Ellora's Cave Publishing are definitely erotica - much steamier than the newer Breed stories, but they also don't have stories that are as in-depth, which in my opinion is a failing. Still, the sex scenes are smokin' hot and it's nice to have the back story between characters I've read about in more recent books.

SINGLE FEMALE ON COVER
4.White Witch, Black Curse (Rachel Morgan, Book 7) by Kim Harrison - 5/8 - ★★★★ - I've always enjoyed this series and this was no exception. Love the big baddie in this one and that the Kisten issue is resolved (although not so fond of the actual resolution). Can't wait for the next one!
5.Full Moon Rising (Riley Jenson, Guardian, Book 1) by Keri Arthur - 5/14 - ★★★★� - Loved this book! Yes, it took a number of pages for me to get used to the Aussie use of "mate" as "friend" instead of lover/life partner/husband/wife (especially since I just read a Lora Leigh book!), but this book kicked ass. The characters were interesting, the storyline had enough foreshadowing to keep you intrigued, but not enough to completely give everything away. I found it very well written and could just KICK myself for not discovering this series sooner!
6.My Soul to Save (Soul Screamers, Book 2) by Rachel Vincent - reading now

COUPLE ON COVER
7.Twice As Hot (Tales of an Extraordinary Girl, Book 2) by Gena Showalter - 5/20 - ★★�1/2 - I remember liking the first book in this series a LOT, but I had a much harder time getting through this one. The story was good, but I got annoyed by all the cheesy paranormal super-spy stuff. Reminded me of the TV show, "The Middleman" when it was on. Not bad, kinda funny, but also kinda pesky.
8.Single White Vampire (Argeneau Vampires, Book 3) by Lynsay Sands - 5/19 - ★★★★ - The story of Lucern, the old, curmudgeoney historian brother and the new editor of his "family history" that the rest of the world thinks are vampire PNRs. Cute, but nothing overwhelmingly original. I'll still keep reading, though as I like the cast of characters. Fluffy, but fun!

NO PERSON/HUMAN IMAGE ON COVER
9.Storm Front (Dresden Files, Book 1) by Jim Butcher - 5/8 - ★★★★ - I've been shying away from this series for awhile now because it was both written by a male author and has a male main character which I haven't enjoyed in the past, but Butcher has a very clean writing style and I like Harry Dresden so it was a nice surprise! I'll definitely keep reading!
10.Catching Fire (Hunger Games, Book 2) by Suzanne Collins - 5/25 - ★★★★� - Amazing series and this book was just as good as the first, in my opinion! A return to Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, Gale, and a cast of all new characters as the victors gear up for their part in the Hunger Games of a new year and look for ways to avoid the wrath of President Snow. A MUST READ if you read the first one. Highly suggested if you like dystopian novels like Scott Westerfield's "Uglies" series although it's a bit more graphic. Featuring young adult characters but not necessarily young adult reading material (depends on your YA, I suppose).

PNR Cover Challenge
Read 10/10 FINISHED!!!

Single Male on Cover:
1. Changed BACK to Hush, Hush ** 5/20/10
Underdeveloped story, uninspired world with little to no development, boring characters and a stupid main character. Little to no redeeming qualities...ick.
2. Changed to:Fantasy Lover 5/4/2010 **** Really Enjoyed!!
3. Changed to: Night Embrace 5/28/10 ****
This series is turning out to be very entertaining. The world is interesting, the characters are fun...it's light and easy to get through with just the right amount of cheese. :)


Single Female on Cover:
1. Changed to: Glass Houses 5/5/2010 ***
Glass houses was ok. It was an interesting after reading so many "vampires are dangerous, but sexy and the best lovers" type books, it was different getting used to the "vampires are bad guys" type. But I did enjoy it and will probably read the rest of the series at some point.
2. Changed to Meridian **** 5/23/10 Really good. Interesting story and world. Can't wait for the forthcoming sequel.
3. Changed to: Vampire Academy 5/7/10 ****
I really enjoyed Vampire Academy. I had to DL the kindle sample of book 2 to tide me over from getting it at the library later in the month! I enjoy flawed heroes, and Rose has the shimmering beginnings of one!!


Couple on Cover:
1. Dead in the Family 5/14/10 ***
Though not my favorite book, I still enjoyed it. It felt like an "in-betweener" book...
2. Lover Eternal **** 5/19/10 This series just gets better and better! I love these books! Review is up...


No people on Cover:
1. Changed to: The Book Thief
This book was haunting and exquisitely written. It will forever be a part of me, and is in the top three books I've ever read in my life.
2. Changed to: Night Pleasures 5/10/10 ***

I know I've missed an update - sorry!! Computer time has been very limited while I've been trying to restore my house back to normal (as normal as it can be - ha!) now that the bathroom renovations are almost done. Although everything was protected with drop sheets and plastic there's a fine layer of concrete dust over everything ... but, damn, the bathrooms look great :)

So, I will do the final update for May in the next 24 hours to give everyone in different time zones the chance to post their updates.

MARTINA'S MAY COVER HUNT CHALLENGE - 10/10 FINISHED! COMPLETE! YAY! :-)

I stayed up reading until 5am last night and spent a good chunk of today reading, too, and finished just 20 minutes before midnight! Whew! :-)

SINGLE MALE ON COVER
1.Lion's Heat (Breed #21/Feline #13) by Lora Leigh - 5/12 - ★★�1/2 - Finally! Jonas' story! The series arc continues with more trouble from Bradenmore, but this book focuses mainly on Jonas and his mate & assistant, Rachel - not to mention her 3 month old child.

It's technically a UF book, but there's a pretty good amount of sexual tension/sex to keep us romance lovers happy. There's also less of the world-building that was a bit awkward in the first book and more interesting plot twists & turns. A formerly trustworthy ally is working for the enemy and the writing was good enough that I honestly wasn't sure until the very end whether or not the person was working undercover or had truly defected to the other side. I'll definitely read the next one!
3.Aiden's Charity (Wolf Breeds, Book 3) by Lora Leigh - 5/30 - ★★�1/2 - Lora Leigh's earlier Breed stories by Ellora's Cave Publishing are definitely erotica - much steamier than the newer Breed stories, but they also don't have stories that are as in-depth, which in my opinion is a failing. Still, the sex scenes are smokin' hot and it's nice to have the back story between characters I've read about in more recent books.

5.Full Moon Rising (Riley Jenson, Guardian, Book 1) by Keri Arthur - 5/14 - ★★★★� - Loved this book! Yes, it took a number of pages for me to get used to the Aussie use of "mate" as "friend" instead of lover/life partner/husband/wife (especially since I just read a Lora Leigh book!), but this book kicked ass. The characters were interesting, the storyline had enough foreshadowing to keep you intrigued, but not enough to completely give everything away. I found it very well written and could just KICK myself for not discovering this series sooner!
6.My Soul to Save (Soul Screamers, Book 2) by Rachel Vincent - 5/31 - ★★�1/2 - Sadly, I didn't like this one as much as the prequel & first in the series. The concept of bean sidhes (banshees)is still fabulous, but the "mission" in this particular book was just too contrived to be believable. There just didn't seem to be a good reason why our protagonists were risking themselves this time around - especially since said protagonists are quasi-regular teenagers. But, I'm not giving up on the series and am still looking forward to the next one.

COUPLE ON COVER
7.Twice As Hot (Tales of an Extraordinary Girl, Book 2) by Gena Showalter - 5/20 - ★★�1/2 - I remember liking the first book in this series a LOT, but I had a much harder time getting through this one. The story was good, but I got annoyed by all the cheesy paranormal super-spy stuff. Reminded me of the TV show, "The Middleman" when it was on. Not bad, kinda funny, but also kinda pesky.
8.Single White Vampire (Argeneau Vampires, Book 3) by Lynsay Sands - 5/19 - ★★★★ - The story of Lucern, the old, curmudgeoney historian brother and the new editor of his "family history" that the rest of the world thinks are vampire PNRs. Cute, but nothing overwhelmingly original. I'll still keep reading, though as I like the cast of characters. Fluffy, but fun!

A MUST READ if you read the first one. Highly suggested if you like dystopian novels like Scott Westerfield's "Uglies" series although it's a bit more graphic. Featuring young adult characters but not necessarily young adult reading material (depends on your YA, I suppose).
