Chloe Neill "Friday Nights Bites"

This is the latest book out by Chloe Neill. The female main character is a former lit grad student who was turned into a vampire without her permission in order to save her life. She ends up being the sentinel (head guard sort of) of her Master's House (Cadogan). Her master even though he is attracted to her, sets up a dating btw her and the rival house master Morgan. The plot of this book focuses on the latest threat to Shape Shifter and Vampire relations and the vampire raves that feed on humans.

Pretty interesting and some nice humor. 4/5

Of interest this month: Skip Beat chapter 147













































yah!!~~~ The new chapter came out and it was really awesome.
In the previous chapter, Mogami gets kissed by Sho on valentines day. He buys 10000 dollar flowers and puts 5000 dollar choco in her mouth and then assaults her (he is such a douche, but a hot douche). He is trying to force himself into her heart and mind so that she can not fall in love with any one else, bc to him, she is a possesion that he must maintain. (super douche). Tsurgren, then tells her that it is okay that she got kissed the first time since she is an actress and an actress has to have the ability to be able to kiss someone when acting and not let it penetrate her heart. But he tells her that this only works once on a non-actor (super douche) so it is really important for her never to do it again.
Ha!
To me it seemed as if he was doing his best to erase what super douche did to her and then to make sure she would be on her guard against future douchiness. ha! jealous much? He has yet to confess to her himself (black haired ren).








Magic Series by Ilona Andres









A good series in which the main character is a female rep of the order. Looks at the dynamics created in a city in which waves of magic and tech alternate. I like that she has a sense of morality and humor, and is not dependent on any male character. In addition, she is hiding from her father who believes her dead, her father being a major dark player.

"One the Edge" by Ilona Andrews

This is the latest book to come out by Ilona Andrews.
I personally enjoyed the book alot. It has a savy female character that is dedicated to taking care of her two younger brothers and a tough older grandmere. In addition, it is full of humor and asumptions which add another twist to the book. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for a good read that focuses on a female character that can hold her own.

The only thing that initially held me back was the cover since it had a blond fabio and personally it looked a bit shallow. But the male character to my surprise was nicely developed (mentally) and added some perks to the story.

Of interest this month: Full House Kiss



Of interest is "Full House Kiss" by Yuwa Shiori.

It has romance, comedy and a nice dash of daring characters.

Definately something I am going to keep an eye on.

Skip Beat ~ 4.7/5

Skip Beat by Yakamura Noshiki is very good. It has great character development and an intense plot. I am still reading this series and it does not disapoint. The start is a bit slow, but by the middle it is getting really good. It is also airing as an anime now, though I think the manga is better by far.
Rate 4.7/5
