Vampires,Were's and Witches!!
I never thought I would enjoy this series, but right from the first chapter of book 1, I was hooked!! This is not the kind of book I would ordinarily buy, but book 1 was given to me by a friend. she had not read it & said she bought it by mistake. I happened to open it up when I had nothing else to read & "BAM" I was hooked!! I find Sookie an absolute delight. I love reading about each & every ...

Duma Key: A Novel

Stephen King

Pocket, 2008

Truly mind blowing
I am a huge fan of Stephen King. Some of his stories truly scare me. A couple of months ago I picked up Duma Key. This book is so great. I'm an author myself and I learn so much from Stephen King every time I pick up one his books. In Duma Key Edgar Freemantle encounters a terrible construction accident which leaves him armless with a case of amnesia. At times his anger about his condition is ...

Give Me More Sookie
Simply addictive. Once you've finished you will be looking for your next Sookie fix. You'll feel like a starved vampire if you start reading this series.

Frankenstein (Signet Classics)

319 reviews
Mary Shelley

Signet Classics, 2000

You've seen Karloff, now read the original
Once you read Shelley's classic you're going to scratch your head and wonder: Is this really the book that gave us the Karloff movie? Not to mention Herman Munster and Frankenberry. For over a century and half people have been cannibalizing this book for ideas, movies, other books, and products of every size, shape and type that our modern concept of Frankenstein holds little to no resemblence to ...

Betrayed (House of Night, Book 2)

39 reviews
PC Cast, Kristin Cast

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

Surprisingly better than Marked...
I wasn't a very huge fan of Marked because it started painfully boring for me. My review for that book was very brutal. For redemption, though, I think that this book is a good light read. Ohhhh~ I like.

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

489 reviews
Christopher Moore

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

Lamb
Entertaining, provocative, fun to read. The story of Christ told in a very different and amusing fashion, still escaping sacrilege. Have given several as gifts to friends who have also thoroughly enjoyed the book!

Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

131 reviews
Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2002

Maenads and Vampires and Fanatics, oh my!
Okay, not as good as the first book in the series, I admit. Still, a pretty good story. Plenty of action, and the romance was toned down a bit, so it didn't so much distract from the main storyline. I know, I know, plenty of people like those bits, but I like my supernatural stories to be just that, I suppose. Some tension, maybe (I do like the interaction between Sookie and Sam!) but not the ...

Frankenstein (Enriched Classics)

Mary Shelley

Pocket, 2004

Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
I bought this for my son for a school reading assignment. He did not like the book at all. Me, on the other hand, I liked it. I read it years & years ago but I enjoyed it the 2nd time around.

Old Man's War

John Scalzi

Subterranean, 2007

enthralling.
How often do you come across a book that you simply cannot put down? Well, you've found one with John Scalzi's book Old Man's War. And don't think this is only for sci-fi fans, 'cause it's not!! This book is one battle after another told from the soldier's point-of-view. I think you knew that by the title, but what you may not have known is that the elderly are recruited to solve the problems ...

buffy comics
No Future For You (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Volume 2) as a fan of the tv show, i was intregued at the prospect of a comic book of buffy and i was pleasantly surprized. well written, well drawn, intriging stories and i can almost hear their voices as i read it. well done, all around.

Dead as a Doornail (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 5)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2006

Sookie Stackhouse rides again!
Charlaine Harris has created some of the most interesting characters you'll ever hope to meet in her Southern Vampire series starring Sookie Stackhouse and a supporting cast as varied as any you could imagine. I was hooked after the first one and eagerly await each installment. You'll laugh out loud on one page and cringe on the next. I recommend this series without hesitation. Entertaining & fun.

This series is a must read for anyone with a passion for vampires. Wish there were more books in the series.

Ace, 2007

Great vampire series
Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6) Charlaine Harris really knows how to write a book, if you like your vampire series with a bit of humor you will like these books, if you like your mysteries with a bit of what we call "Woo Woo" (in other words weird stuff) then you'll like Ms.Harris's Southern Vampire series and if you find you like it find the rest Sookie Stackhouse is a ...

Blood Noir (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 16)

Laurell K. Hamilton

Berkley Hardcover, 2008

Laurell K Hamilton went back to her old formula!!
For the past 2 years or so, Laurell K Hamilton has been taking Anita to places she shouldn't be going. Her first books were wonderful. She strayed from the winning formula. In The Harlequin, she started putting it all back together again. In Blood Noir, she succeeded in getting Anita back on track. I really enjoyed this book!! If you enjoyed the first 10 or so, you will enjoy this book. ...

Frankenstein (Penguin Classics)

39 reviews
Mary Shelley

Penguin Classics, 2003

4-1/2 stars for a classic the movies messed up
Did the people who made the Frankenstein movie even read this book? All of the things that I associated with Frankenstein are creations of the movie alone. No Igor, no lightning striking the body, no grave-robbing (not directly referred to anyway), no mountain laboratory, no villagers attacking the castle to burn it to the ground. Just a young college student seized with a fever to see what he is ...

The Stand (Modern Classics)

930 reviews
Stephen King

Gramercy, 2001

Insane, epic and brilliant
There are plenty of pitfalls that drag epic, amibitous novels down; plots that don't hold up for a thousand plus pages, characters that grow tiresome, repetitive themes that feel like a broken record halfway through the book. The Stand avoids all of these. The cast is large and varied enough to keep multiple plot threads going, but not too large to become confusing. And as many as there are, ...

All Together Dead
This book was every bit as good as the others, maybe better. I just love Sookie Stackhouse, hope the series never ends.
