New Wish List Book – No Mercy – Sherrilyn Kenyon

AngieZ — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:29:16 +0000

I have added No Mercy (Dark-Hunter Novels) by Sherrilyn Kenyon to my wish list.

This will be Dev and Sam’s book. Here is the writeup from Kenyon’s website

Dev Peltier thought he knew it all. But one night when not just a Dark-Hunter, but an official member of the Dogs of War sashays into his bar, he realizes that he might have met his match.

Sam was one the fiercest Amazon warrior in her tribe. But when an act of brutal betrayal made her a Dark-Hunter, she’s been pissed ever since.

Life fast, fight hard and enjoy the night. That’s her credo. But as old enemies and new move into New Orleans, she realizes that Dev just might be the only hope she and mankind have to save the world.

Should Authors post their political views to the public

AngieZ — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:41:28 +0000

OK, I feel a rant coming on…

[rant]Recently I had found a new author that had great potential to pull me into her paranormal series. I had enjoyed two of the series and have a few more on my huge to be read pile. I have been following authors on twitter, facebook, blogs and websites lately so that I can get updated information on their books and interests. I enjoy reading posts by other fans and authors. This is good because I feel more connected, but bad because somethings I find out things that I don’t like about them.

The new author I recently discovered had a few tweets that were political in nature. While I am involved in politics and have strong views, I am very open to new ideas and find that peoples views are varied. I enjoy the whole debate process. What I don’t enjoy is when some one is cuts down another’s view/opinion with nasty tasteless remarks. That fact is that there are a wide range of views and very often people on the other side of you. To call them stupid or make fun of another view in my opinion can be in bad form as a business person. I own a small business and I can guarantee that I would not touch a political conversation with a client with a ten foot pole. It is really a bad idea because it is often easy to insult a person and possibly lose their business.

So the moral of the story is that I read tweets from two different authors that were mocking views that were important to me – They were not debating they were flat out being condescending. I have stopped following those two authors and will not make an effort to pick up their books in the future. I know it is petty, but frankly I have a huge to be read pile that I have to work through and I do not need to bother with authors whom have been openly dismissive of something that is important to me.

My advice for you authors out there is to not piss off half of your readers who may not have the same views as yours — unless you are a partisan political writer.

If you want me buying your books you don’t have to have the same views as me, but you sure shouldn’t openly make fun of my views either…..

The Laird Who Loved Me – Karen Hawkins

AngieZ — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:15:32 +0000

This book is part of a series and I made the mistake of reading it out of order. It is the 5th book and I have only read the 1st so far. I hate when I do that. I think I would have liked it much better had I read the previous books.

I felt lost throughout most of the story but the gist of the story came through. I enjoyed the byplay of the characters. Alexander MacLean sets out to ruin Caitlyn Hurst because of some past involvement that forced his brother to marry. While he plans to ruin he, he doesn’t plan to fall in love with her.

Without reading the previous stories I didn’t have the character attachment that I should have so I rank this as a mediocre story. I will definitely pick up the previous books in the series and revisit this one later.

Grade: C
Cover: Nah…

Previous Books in the series: How to Abduct a Highland Lord, To Scotland, With Love, To Catch a Highlander, Sleepless in Scotland (The MacLeans).

Future releases by Karen Hawkins: Lois Lane Tells All, due in paperback, March 30, 2010.
