Sex and the Psychic Witch
Harmony Cartwright and her triplet sisters live in
Annette Blair weaves a wonderful tale of romance and passion with a bit of sparkling charm thrown in. The characters are wonderfully well rounded and entertaining making the story one that you can hardly put down. I will definitely be reading any of Annette Blair’s other Witchy Books that she puts out.

Night Rising

Chris Marie Green brings to light a new twist in the vampire genre with Night Rising. Dawn Madison is called back to Tinsel town to help search for her father who has recently gone missing while investigating a case. He has been investigating a bizarre sighting of a child star named Robby that was supposed to have been dead for a while, but has been recently seen in a newly filmed movie. While working with her fathers co-workers Kiko, and Breisi, Dawn learns that vampires are not all just myth and legend. Their boss is never seen only heard and, teaches her how to use her mind to keep people out that she doesn’t want in. She also learns that Kiko has had a vision concerning her and the vampires. They get a tip from an actress named Klara, she was a co-worker of Robby’s, who lets them in on bit of information on Robby and his father and how they acted on the set and etc. with other people. They were less than private with their advances to people about things that should be kept private. There is another PI roaming around named Matt Lonigan the firm can’t figure out if he is on the up and up or if he is working for the vamps as a servant. But he has an eye for Dawn and keeps giving her information that makes sense to her. The vampires have created a world for themselves they call the Underground it is ruled by the Master and his Second in command Sorin. They also will bring in any person that would wish to reinvent themselves years later for a price. So as was the case with singer Tamsin Greene. Klara winds up dead a few days later after giving the information about Robby and his father. When Dawn and Kiko go to the Bava Bar to see if they can get a bit more information about Robby they run into Robby himself the vampire version. There is a bit of a tussle and Kiko is hurt badly luckily Dawn is trained in taking falls and draws Robby away from Kiko and talks him into going to see his mother. Kiko is sent to the hospital and Dawn goes with Breisi to see Robby’s mother to see if they can help Robby to be at peace finally.
Chris Marie Green shows us that vamps are not all myth and legend in Night Rising. Night Rising was a riveting attention getter and one that I could not put down easily. Being the vampire fan that I am I was glad to see the new twists to the vampire genre that were added instead of the age old kill’em with sun and stake’em through the heart type scenes. Green takes it a step further with each type of vamp that she introduces with each turn of the page. I will definitely want to read anything else that Chris Marie Green writes.

Magic Bites
Magic is a part of Kate Daniels everyday life during the time of the day when magic makes technology go awry, cars won’t start and guns don’t want to fire. All sorts of magical things start to appear and rouge mages are able to use their magic. But when technology is able to work again Kate is there to clean up the problems that magic has left behind. She is a mercenary of sorts that helps take care of all sorts of paranormal problems. Greg Feldman was Kate’s guardian and the Knight-diviner. He has been taking care of her since her parents died. When Greg is murdered she takes on the case personally which almost proves to be more than she can handle. Each sect blames the other for a group of murders. Greg’s murder could be connected with these murders as well. Thrust into a tug of war like power struggle between the Masters of the dead and the Pack, both sides looking to Kate for answers. She starts to feel like it is a bit over her head but she likes it that way and always has. When she starts really investigating Greg’s murder things get even deeper and deeper. She also stumbles onto a guy that could be Mr. Right, but she doesn’t quite know how to handle Crest. The murders start to emulate an old case but could it be that this the same type of case again? She must look to people that she doesn’t really trust for help to solve the case.
Ilona Andrews weaves a suspenseful page-turner that you won’t want to put down. I found my self so absorbed in this book that it was finished before I knew it. She really knows how to keep your attention I will definitely be buying the sequel to this book or anything else she puts out it was a compelling read.
" I rummaged through Greg’s desk drawer for a mirror. Every self-respecting mage had a mirror close to hand. Too many spells required it. Greg’s was a rectangle set in a plain wooden frame. I caught my image in it and almost dropped the rag. My hair glowed. It radiated a weak burgundy luminescence, which shifted when I ran my hands through it, as if each individual strand of hair was coated in fluorescent paint. I shook my head, but the radiance didn’t dim. Growling at it didn’t help either, and I didn’t have the faintest idea how to get rid of it."
"I hid in the farthest corner of the room, invisible from the door, and opened the file. If you can’t make it go away wait it out."
