A Fistful of Charms-Kim Harrison2

Just when I dispared that some of favorite series were total crap, Harrison comes up with a refreshing winner.

Fourth in the series, Fistful of Charms moves Rachel deeper into the world of black magic. Nick her ex from the previous books gets himself into trouble when three packs of Weres kidnap him after he steals something very important to them.

Rachel, Jenks, and Ivy take an extended road trip to save his ass, only to be thrown into the middle of a potential Vamp, Were war. Rachel makes many tough decisions in rescuing him.

Cheap Bindings Suck.6

Is it just me or are new books getting cheaper and shoddier made? I have two new Avon/Harper books that are starting to come apart and I doubt they will last more than very few readings. Is this a case of saving money by the publisher or some conspiracy to wipe out used books sales?

The two books that are falling apart are: Lynsay Sands, A Bite To Remember and Lisa Kleypas’s Scandal in Spring. Both are by Avon/Harper. I sent an email to Harper when I first noticed this on Lynsay Sands books, but I assumed it may have been a fluke, but to have the same thing happen again a month later with another new book just plain sucks…..

Danse Macabre-Laurell K Hamilton10

I just could not finish it. I put this book down after the 25th chapter. I can sum this book so far in a few sentences - spoiler alert - Anita has sex with almost anyone, thinks about sex with anyone, everyone that sees her wants to have sex with her, everyone that touches wants to have sex with her. Thats it folks……. There is a few mentions that she may or may not be pregnant, at this point I really don’t give a shit if I ever find out the result of this “pregnancy” I am that effing bored with this story.
