First Drop of Crimson-- BWB review

The Night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows --her best friend is half vampire Cat Crawfield-- and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family's past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness-- and a demon shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for the taste of her.

He is Spade, a powerful , mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty bound to protect this endangered , alluring human--even if it means destroying his own kind. ( Back of the book)

This is my first time reading this author and seeing her vampire world. This is an adult book. It was nice to see that she did stick the Vampire Canon in some ways.

These are side characters who get their own book/romance but they are still part of the Gang of Cat/Bones. I haven't read any of the Cat / Bones series at all. But I have heard many rumblings online about a Chapter 32 in the first book.

Denise is a human and has lost many family members to strange other world happenings

Spade is a english vampire , and lost his love : both are friends of Cat/Bones

2 POV of Shade and Denise

Denise calls Spade because she doesn't want her friends to help her to deal with a demon. She also suffers from PTSD and this is brought up alot because she thinks the Vampire world is dangerous. They have known each other for 1 year , because of a previous fight with something otherworldly. Glad to know the history between the characters.

Spade for Denise gives up a house, boat, coat , 2 shirts . Denise donates some blood to Spade so that he can feed.

There were at times Shade and Denise reminded me of Dave & Maddie from Moonlighting just by their witty comments. I loved it when they got together and could feel the tension between the couple because they were both attracted to each , but fighting their feelings for each other. Denise so didn't want to be apart of the world and she could whine too much at times.

I didn't like how this was a Denise/Spade book but then other characters come back to help in the fight. I do understand that they are friends of the Cat/Bones and more people helping the situation will solve the problem. For example and using a Buffy reference-- a eposide thats all Willow or Cordy and their problems  ...and then all of a sudden Buffy/ Spike/ Angel all come help solve the problem but when the book started as a Willow or Cordy. Its like the whole Gang is back together and the eposide that was all about Willow or Cordy is just a side story to the Buffy/Spike/Angel ...It was like the author couldn't make up her mind on who the book was about.

Thats leads to another problem because the author couldn't decide who the book was about , I cared a little about the Denise/Spade..and I would love to meet Spade should he become real..but It did lead me wanting to hear more about Cat/Bones and wondering if there was going to be another book in the Denise/Spade story

I bought this book and this is my Honest review.

Poor Little Bitch Girl -- Book Review

Denver Jones is a hotshot twentysomething attorney working in LA. Carolyn Henderson is a personal assistant to a powerful and very married Senator in Washington with whom she is having an affair. And Annnabelle Maestro --the daughter of two movie stars--has carved out a career for herself in New York as Madam of choice for discerning famous men. The three of them went to high school in Beverly Hills, and although Denver and Carolyn have kept in touch, Annabelle is out on her own with her cocaine addicted boyfriend Franke. ( Book Jacket)

Denver-- lawyer

AnnaBelle- madam

Bobby SantAngelo -- Club owner , Luckys son

Carolyn-- aid to Senator

The stories are more current and there also the richness of the people of New York and LA. These kids have their own dreams . It was nice to see some old characters and hear about what the characters have been up too. There was a murder , drugs,  one night stands, and finding out what friends have been up to since the last Lucky book.

Liked the cover-- Have read this author many times and very fluff novel and seemed to be her usual fare.

Book Review=3

Thanks to Planned Television Arts for the book and this is my Honest review.

This one is MINE-- Book Review

Violet Parry has the picture pefect life: a beautiful house, a successful husband , a darling daughter.Violet can speak french , quote Sondheim, and whip up dinner from vegetables in her garden.She has everything under control --execept her own happiness. All it takes is chance encounter with Teddy Reyes , a rouguish small time bass player with a highly evolved sexulaity, to open Violet's eyes to what she's missing and upend her life completely. ( Back of the book)

This is an adult novel.

I really tried to like this book. It reminded me of a car wreck that you see on the street. You see all accident and there is a part of you that wants to look away, but you can't  look anyway.That's how I felt about this book.

Violet--married to David, Mom

David- married to Violet, music manager

Sally- sister to david and tell her story too

Jeremy- boyfriend to Sally

Violet is missing something. She has the perfect life. Sally is struggling in her life and has made some poor choices and in a way wants the life of Violet. David is busy with his work and they have been married for 16 years and live in L.A. These characters all want something , and its interesting too see how it all comes together with the characters all meeting. I did like seeing how the characters showed some growth and actually started talking.

The bad  language was a turn off to me. This was a quick read for me. I wanted to give this book away, but my thoughts on not liking it book is big for me. I don't want to give away that I wouldn't pass along to friends. I think that I might have read this book from my local library.

Book Review =1

You might like this book , but I didn't want to pass along a bad book to my friends. So I won't be doing a giveaway for this book.

Thanks to Back Bay books for the book, and this is my HONEST review.
