Touch the Dark by Karen Chance

Title: Touch the Dark
Author: Karen Chance
Date Read: Sept 2011
Number of Pages:
Why did you read it: It sounded like a good book.
What was it about: Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits-talents that made her attractive to the dead and the undead. The ghosts of the dead aren’t usually dangerous; they just like to talk..a lot.
The undead are another matter.
Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the bloodsucking Mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with vengeance on his mind, she’s forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection.
The Undead senators won’t help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, dangerously seductive master vampire-and the price he demands may be more then Cassie is willing to pay.
Who was your favorite Character: the Master vampire (can’t remember his name off hand)
How did you feel after reading it: It was a good book! It seemed fast paced, not something I am used to but it was still good. I felt like there was no break or breathing it seemed. But it was still good and I look forward to reading the next.

Title: Storm’s Heart
Author: Thea Harrison
Date Read: Sept 2011
Number of Pages: 305
Why did you read it: Was a second in a good looking series. 
What was it about: Able to wield thunder and lightning, wyr sentinel Tiago Black Eagle has ruled the skies for centuries. His massive build and thunderous power make him one of the wyr's best weapons. And he's the one sent to protect Tricks, heir to the Dark Fae throne, when she's almost assassinated in Chicago. Soon Tiago and Tricks will fall prey to the stormy hunger that engulfs them-a passion that will shake the very foundation of all the worlds.
Who was your favorite Character: Rune again
How did you feel after reading it: I couldn't wait to read this book and I went throught his one faster then the second. Again there wasn't a lot of conflict between the two and that was refreshing. When there isn't a lot of conflict between the two and they are working together against the bad it is just neat. Was still a great series and wish that the 3rd of Oct would get here sooner for the 3rd book which is about Rune!

Why did you read it: Sounded like a good book
What was it about: Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful-and passionate-of the Elder races.
Who was your favorite Character: Rune
How did you feel after reading it: I thought it was a really good book and couldn’t wait to read the next. I was up in Duluth when I finished the book, sitting in the starbucks in our hotel. I didn't want to do anything but drink my coffee and read the end of my book. I quickly suggested the book to my mother to read. I thought there was a nice balance between the two main characters, yes he was rather domineering but she wasn't overly wimpy or whiny.
