Salvation by Jacqueline Paige

Genre: paranormal romance

About Salvation:

What woman wouldn't want their very own sexy pirate from the eighteenth century?

Lost in a place between living and dying, confined to roam endlessly over the same grounds for all eternity and never to be seen again, Jareth wanders through time alone, longing for the sea once more. When he realizes there is one thing he yearns for more than he ever did the sea, he is tossed into a world he is unfamiliar with.

Stuck with a life that never goes her way, Miranda is determined to get at least one thing she wants. When that one thing turns out to be a sexy pirate that lived over two hundred years ago, she finds herself with more than one challenge to have him.

Can they break the curse and be together?

Review: MOONSHINE

Moonshine by Rob Thurman

About Moonshine:
Book 2 of the Cal Leandros series by Rob Thurman

I was born a monster. Although truthfully, I was onlyhalf a monster. My mother was human; my father was something… else. Half monster or whole, in the end it didn’t matter. I had my weaknesses,same as anyone else.

And I was facing one of them now.

After saving the world from his fiendish father’s side of the family,Cal Leandros and his stalwart half brother, Niko, have settled down with a new apartment and a new gig-bodyguard and detective work. And in New York City, where preternatural beings stalk the streets just like normal folk, business is good.

Their latest case has them going undercover for the Kin, the werewolf Mafia. A low-level Kin boss thinks a rival is setting him up for a fall, and wants proof. The place to start is the back room of Moonshine, a gambling club for non-humans. Cal thinks it’s a simple in-and-out job. But Cal is very, very wrong.

Cal and Niko are being set up themselves-and the people behind it have bites much worse than their barks…

Review:
I just recently discovered this author and series. I've seen this author and her work around the blogosphere for sometime now but just never picked it up until recently. My mountainous TBR pile might have something to do with my resistance there.

Like Nightlife, this book is a fantastic read. Though there were times where I felt that the story dragged a little bit but as a reader I can forgive that for the fabulous story that I get at the end of it. The plot, although a bit mundane, was still twisty enough to keep my attention. The book is medium-paced, action-filled with humor between the pages and satisfying ending :)

Story telling quality = 4.5
Ending = 4.5
Cover art = 4.5
Story itself = 4
Plot = 4
Pace = 3.5

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 cherries

WW28 book offering: Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison

Page 28, 1st Sentence:

"Ticked, I looked across the street to the Starbucks catering to uptown snits who needed sixty different ways to brew a bean in order to not be happy with any of them."

About Dead Witch Walking:

Forty years ago a genetically engineered virus killed half of the world's human population and exposed creatures of dreams and nightmares that had, until then, lived in secret alongside humanity.

Rachel Morgan is a runner with the Inderland Runner Services, apprehending criminals throughout modern-day Cincinnati. She is also a witch.

Used to confronting criminal vampires, dark witches and homicidal werewolves, Rachel's latest assignments - apprehending cable-stealing magic students and tax-evading leprechauns - have prompted her to break her thirty-year contract with the I.S. and start her own runner agency.

But no one quits the I.S.

Marked for death, Rachel is a dead witch walking unless she can appease her former employers and pay off her contract by exposing the city's most prominent citizen as a drug lord. But making an enemy of the ambiguous Trent Kalamack proves even more deadly than leaving the I.S.

About The Thief Taker's Apprentice:
