Review: Death's Sweet Embrace by Tracey O'Hara @BookLoversInc

Yes I finally did it again! I reviewed a book. Wanna read what I thought about this book? Here is a little teaser! You can read the rest @Book Lovers Inc here.

The first thing I have to admit is that I was really disappointed to realize this book wasn't about Antoinette and Christian again. I loved these two and at the end of Night's Cold Kiss I was sure their story would develop more in the next book. The end left my HEA loving heart yearning for more and I always assured myself: you will get your fix in book two. So you can see when I realized I wouldn't get this, Death's Sweet Embrace and I had a rocky start.

This story is all about Kitt, the snow leopard shifter we already met in book one. She still suffers from the aftershocks of her brother's death but there are some important things in her life that need her immediate attention right now. She accepts a position for teaching at the NYAPS (the parahuman university) and she has to face her past there. She meets her daughters- twin she had to give away after birth and as you can imagine this situation troubles her not only with anticipation. To make the whole situation even more complex she also discovers that her first big love and father to the girls, Raven, is currently at NYAPS too- so she finds herself in an emotional roller-coaster ride from the start.

Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Books, books, books and Blogoversary

Long time no see. I know. It seems I have again lost a bit of my blogging mojo. And also my reviewing mojo so I actually don't have anything to post about but my blog looks so empty so I though I will tell you about the books I got for Christmas and my bday. *g* We all love to look at books so that could be fun. I'm in book heaven at the moment and even better all these aren't for review and I can just enjoy them and perhaps, if I feel like it write a review. It'S so nice to not have pressure on you. And I love that! See I'm getting review rebellious. LOL

So here's what I got for Xmas:

Than we have the books I bought with my Xmas money(all pre-oroders so I won't forget to get them *g*):

I'm so giddy about these. Look at how pretty they am. I so can't wait for them to arrive already.

For my bday I actually only got 3 books but a bunch of book money so I bought the rest myself.

So the next were impulsive. I just wanted Taken by Lilith Saintcrow and discovered they all were on bargain on amazon.de so I bought some more. I'm especially excited about the ones by Michelle Rowen and Jill Monroe. *g*

And I got 2 ebooks:

O_O Now that I see it like this I admit I might have gone a bit crazy. Okay hides her credit card in a special place. Okay now I just have to find the time to read them all. Okay perhaps I already read 7 of them. So you see I'm trying. *g*

On other news Book Lovers Inc (you can find a list of all post in the sidebar with a link to the posts that are already up) turned one and we have a huge celebration going. We gave the reins to the author's and they are allowed to do their worst. And there are a tons of giveaways going on. Here's a short sneak peak at who we will have over:

Suzanne McLeod Carolyn Crane  Moira Rogers  Dakota Cassidy Susanna Yves Devyn Quinn Linda Robertson Inez Kelley Chloe Neill

Delilah Marvelle Megan Hart Joely Sue Burkhart Gini Koch Kate Pearce Kelly Meding Monica Burns Teresa D'Amario Cynthia Eden

Nancy Holzner Sara Brookes Stacia Kane Julia Barrett Kieran Kramer JF Lewis Lila DiPasqua Lauren Hammond

 

 

There's also a huge giveaway with a enormous amount of prizes. If you want to celebrate come over and check it out. You won't regret it. And I swear no burning hoops you have to jump through. ;)

So all those books and the big party kept me busy but I swear I will be back soon. *g*

 

 

 

 

 

How are you? What did I miss? Any books I should get (and no, not interested in Shadowfever)?

A review, stress and a Simon's Cat video

I posted a review on Book Lovers Inc last Friday here. Three Over Par by Cathryn Brunet is another Carina Press release and it totally took me by surprise. Wow that books was so emotional intense and HAWT- unbelievable. Wonderful and highly recommended read.
That makes me think about how awesome Carina Press became. So far I loved every book they published and it really makes me want to get more. Great job these people are doing.

On other news my exams are over but so far the stress level is still too high for my taste and it looks like it will stay like that for a while longer. I've started my frantic search for an internship for next semester (and yes I know that I'm way too late- le sigh), have to start and finish the monster project till the end of September (planning a complete house means: we could build it like that *panic*), the evil part time job and there are the 2 blogs. I have no idea how I do it and I don't know how long I can stand the pressure. We will see. *puts on reassuring smile*

To make myself smile from time to time I visit the cheezburger network (lolcats and so on) and texts from last night regularly and that helps a lot. LOL Okay here you have something to make you smile.

So what's new with you?
