The Rest Falls Away – Colleen Gleason

Colleen Gleason, The Rest Falls Away

I have always loved finding new series to add to my list of favorites. I have been fortunate to have an opportunity to read a new upcoming one by Colleen Gleason. Due out in January 2007, The Gardella Vampire Chronicles is described as a 19 Century Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I am not sure that description gives the series enough justice as it is more than just a Buffy fanfic.

Victoria Gardella has just come out of mourning for her grandfather and father and is now looking for a husband as most young girls of the time do. However Victoria soon learns that she is part of a family line of vampire slayers (venators). She must choose how to balance her life as a debaunte and hunter.

Kim Harrison, A Fistful of Charms

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.

Lover Eternal – J.R. Ward

Second in the series and even better than the previous one Dark Lover.

Rhage has been cursed with a dragon like beast that immerges when he loses control of his temper/emotions.

Mary Luce is a human with a chronic disease, who manages to enthrall Rhage with her voice. Against all odds he persues her.

I looved this book. The characters are great without being overly hard to keep track of. Many of the other vampire series are getting too complicated for my poor overworked brain to handle.

I so want my own dragon to pet.

Dark Lover – J.R. Ward

I cannot believe I left this book sit on my TBR pile for over a freaking month. OMG I was so missing out.

The first in a series called The Black Dagger Brotherhood. Dark Lover was about. Wrath is the last pure vampire on earth. He hates humans and refuses to help one of his brothers take care of his abandoned half breed daughter.

Beth Randall is approaching her 25th birthday and she has been feeling weird. She is unaware of what she is and is about to meet the most lucious and scary man she has ever seen.

Fire Me Up-Katie MacAlister

Having just finished You Slay Me, I knew I immediately wanted to read this second on the series.

A month has past since Aisling left Paris and Drake. Since she is so clearly inadequate as a guardian she has decided to attend a conference to find a mentor in the Guardian Trade. She travels to Budapest to attend an otherworld conference. Wouldn’t you know it that Drake just so happens to be in the same hotel conducting peace negotions between the four dragon septs.

You Slay Me – Katie MacAlister

I have been moving through my backlist of Katie MacAlister books and picked this one up cause I love dragons. I loved it…

This is a series about Aisling Grey who finds out she is a Guardian (Keeper to the Gates to Hell) a demon lord (to a rejected demon in Newfie dog form — I love those dogs) and a wyvern’s mate (Head honocho dragon’s mate) all in a short time.

If you like the Undead series by MaryJanice Davidson you should also like this one. Take a smart but ditzy blond, give her tons of power that she has no clue how to use, throw in a hot guy who literally makes her blood boil and you have Aisling Grey.

The Good, The Bad, and the Undead, Harrison

Kim Harrison, A Fistful of Charms

I just finished Kim Harrison’s – The Good, the Bad and the Undead. Following Dead Witch Walking, this is the second of the series.

I have read Dead Witch Walking some time last year and unfortunately I don’t remember too much about it, but it is in my personal collection and will re-read it again. Sadly, this book is on loan to my via a www.bookcrossing.com Book Ring, so I have to give it up and send to the next person on the ring. I will add this to my wishlist so that I can someday get my own copy.
