Books read in July!
So last month was a slow one concerning reading but very productive concerning exams lol.
Here is my list:
1. "To Die For" by Linda Howard
Funny read. Blair is really witty and has a serious attitude problem. Wyatt is a real alpha male- bossy and demanding. A quite interesting combination. But something was missing. I don't know why but I liked the second book in this series more.
3 of 5 stars
2. "Ashes of Midnight" by Lara Adrian
When I think about Andreas Reichen I can't imagine a sexy and intriguing man. Along this series I also thought of him as a rather uninteresting person. His power pyrokinesis is a great idea but it didn't make me like Reichen more. His backround story was good and gave his character a new depth.
The story was good. I especially loved the setting in Germany
3 of 5 stars
3. "Prey" by Rachel Vincent
My full review is here.
5 of 5 stars
4. "A Girl's Guide to Vampires" by Kati MacAlister
I read many reviews about this book before deciding to read it. And I have to say the first 50 pages didn't fulfill my expectations. I was prepared for a story about vampires and the main characters thinks they don't exist. When Joy realizes that she stumbled headfirst in a dark world of paranormal creatures I nearly screamed "Took you long enough girl!!!". The story after this point was good. It's a combination of find the bad guy and choose the right man. Roxy can be a little annoying but she is really amiable. Very funny book!!
4 of 5 stars
The next ones are the books read in my exam time so there is no real review but I think I will write them when I have the time for that again.
5. "Midnight's Master" by Cynthia Eden
Wonderful book with the right amount of demon inside!
5 of 5 stars
6. "Seduce the Darkness" by Gena Showalter
Devyn is so sexy and adorable and he knows it. I never thought I would like such an arrogant character but OMG he's gogeous.
5 of 5 stars
7. "Branded by Fire" by Nalini Singh
My inner kitty still screams to have her own little wolf, so I think that's said enough so far!
5 of 5 stars
8 . "City of Souls" by Vicki Pettersson
I love these series and this book brought some new aspects and unexpected developments. Heartbreaking!
5 of 5 stars
9. "Talk Me Down" by Victoria Dahl
This book took my by surprise. Yes, I should have guessed. So many people that this is very good book and so on. But seriously, I never thought it would grip so fast and hard. Couldn't stop reading it although I had to learn for my exams. So you are warned its very intoxicating! This is one of the best books I read so far this year and I can't wait to read the second installment! If you haven't read it. Go and get it Now!
5 of 5 stars
I've got my last exam tomorrow so I really should learn now and stop finding ways to avoid it.

Nice list! Victoria Dahl is a great author and 'Talk Me Down' is hilarious. Have you read 'Start Me Up' yet?
I have some of these books waiting for me in my to-be-read pile (Pettersson,Vincent)
But i've never read any Gena Showalter books but i've heard a lot of good about this author. I should maybe try reading one.
I just started reading "Slave to Sensation" by Nalini Singh and wowww. I'm a bit sad i didn't read it before. Hiope the rest of the series is that good
Good luck with your last exam =)
ps: your cat is SO cute!love the pics
@Michelle The shifter series is one of my fav too.
@Sarah Haven't read Start Me Up but it's on top of my tbr.
@pattepoilue Gena's books are really great. Her style is remarkable-full of wit and fun.Her contemporaries are also very entertaining. The psy/changeling series is getting better and better. My favs are Hostage to Pleasure and Branded by Fire. And I know , my kitty is a real beauty.
Very nice reading this past month!!!
I also wish you luck on your last exam!!!
Some list you've got there Susi, even for a slow month LOL Vicki Petterson, I noticed this series before and I find it intriguing yet don't know if I should start in it with already so much on my shelves.

Great list. Good luck with your exams
Thanks for all the good luck. Exam went fantastic.Prof. Müller is the best teacher ever!!!
@Leontine I like Vicki's style. The mood is really dark, bad things happen all the time, but I like it nonetheless.
I hope you did well on your exam!
You had some good reads last month, good for you. I just finish The First Sign of the Zodiac: The Scent of Shadows, it was a very good read. Enjoyed it.
@Donna Most of the exams were Ok, one was really great and one was the worst I ever had. The zodiac series is really special and one of my favs.
