Review: Nightshade and Bloodlust by Michelle Rowen

Jil­lian Con­rad never believed in vampires-until she was unwill­ingly injected with a serum that was sup­posed to act as a deadly poi­son to them. Now, tor­mented half-vampire Declan Reese wants her blood to destroy the undead king­dom. Unfor­tu­nately, the serum has also made her blood irre­sistible to all vampires-including Declan, whose desire for Jil­lian is more than mere hunger.

Jil­lian Conrad's blood has killed the vam­pire king. Now an enemy to all vam­pires, she is tar­geted for elim­i­na­tion. So is the infant daugh­ter of the dead king. If Jil­lian doesn't stand in the way of her death, then every­one, liv­ing or dead, is in great peril. Con­tinue read­ing →

Review: Spell Bound by Kelley Armstrong

Savan­nah Levine is in ter­ri­ble dan­ger, and for once she’s pow­er­less to help her­self. At the con­clu­sion of Wak­ing the Witch, Savan­nah swore that she would give up her pow­ers if it would help a young girl. Lit­tle did she know that some­one would take her up on that promise.

And now, witch hunt­ing assas­sins, necro­mancers, half-demons, and rogue witches all seem to be after her. The threat is not just for Savan­nah; every mem­ber of the Oth­er­world might be at risk. While most her fel­low super­nat­u­rals are cir­cling the wag­ons at a gath­er­ing of the coun­cil in Miami, Savan­nah is caught on the road, iso­lated from those who can pro­tect her and unable to use her vast spell cast­ing tal­ent, the thing she counts on most. In a story that will change the shape of the Oth­er­world for­ever, Spell Bound gath­ers Elena, Clay, Paige, Lucas, Jamie, Hope, and oth­ers, who soon learn that the great­est threat to super­nat­u­rals just may come from within.
