Susan Elizabeth Phillips has always been one of my ultimate favorites. She takes up a large portion of my keeper shelves. I hesitated to pick up this latest book because I have had a hard time forcing myself to study for classes. It sucks being an adult college student. I hate sacrificing my reading time for boring college classes, but never the less, I did squeeze this one in. I read it late into the night and got up early the next morning, finishing it in as close to one sitting as I could. So much for cramming for exams.

First in a series called “Thrall”.

The Thrall concept is yet another variation of the “vampire” theme. Instead of being infected by a “virus” the Thrall is a parasite which takes over the body and mind of its host for a few years. Eventually the body wears down and a new host is selected to receive the next queens eggs. Additionally the Thrall lives in a hive culture with a single reproductive queen leader and her drones the “hosts”. Humans all considered the “Prey” that feeds the hive the blood they need. Humans can also be Herd if they voluntarily feed the Hosts.

First in a series titled “Black Ops”, Cindy Gerard seems to have a good series going here. Having finished up Brockmann’s last book, I was not ready to move on from “shadow warriors”. I was intrigued and entertained by this new series.

Jenna McMillan is a reporter who is covering a story in Argentina, but she doesn’t realize that she is being setup in a complicated revenge plot. When a bomb goes off unexpectedly, Jenna is tackled by a street bum who gets badly injured. While trying to escape, Jenna is thrown into a car and recognizes the men who save her. She doesn’t realize who tackled her, but once she sees Gabes men here in Argentina she puts two and two together.

Would you live your life differently if you were given a second chance. Linda Howard tackles these issues in an unconventional romance.

I was able to snag this story on audiobook. I love and hate that. It is nice to listen to a story when you are going about mindless activity, but then I found myself looking for mindless time when I shouldn’t.

The heroine, Drea, is a drug lords mistress who is not the dim bulb she pretends to be. She has vowed to get the most out of life. She has no problem in being a mans play toy as long as it gets her money, the finest clothing and jewels. Her existence is very shallow and she makes no apologies for this.

Lover Enshrined – J.R. Ward

6th in the Brotherhood Series. This story “sort of” focuses on the relationship between Phury and Cormia. At the end of the last book, Phury had volunteered to take the place as the Chosen’s Primale in Vichous’s stead. The Primales role is to serve as head male to a harem of 40 chosen. A glorified stud and sperm factory whose sole purpose is donate his half of a generation of new Brothers. I thought Ward would make this role more interesting given that he is abstinent and all, but nay it didn’t really play much into the story..

I believe I read this one out of order as it is the fourth in the series and I didn’t read the third yet. It is sitting in my TBR pile here somewhere. Oh well.

The unfortunate thing about being undead is that business success in the digital age is next to impossible to hold off. Jean-Luc is a successful clothing designer who has been in the spotlight for too long. We say that men age gracefully, however it is apparent to those around him Jean-Luc is a bit too graceful these days. He decides to imbark on the next phase of his life by hiding out in Texas for a few decades and re-emerge as his son. That works for the mortal world, but his enemies are not so easily dissuaded.
