Still Reading
Don’t worry I haven’t stopped reading. That wont happen until I go back to school in August. I am rereading my Kelley Armstrong and will report when done.
Edit: So I just got back from a two week vacation. As soon as I take care of some things I will sit down and do reviews of all the books I read while gone.
Christopher Moore: A Dirty Job
I love this book. I love Christopher Moore. So funny. So twisted. So original. This is a reread for me. Second time around it is still as good as the first. Not going to say much because every suprise is great and almost everything is a suprise. The basic premise is a guy witnesses the collection of a soul and becomes a collector/reassigner of souls. Things go bad, things get better, then a downward spiral agian until everything is made right agian. I am crossing my fingers for a sequel some day.
If you haven’t read it yet go and get it. NOW! What are you sitting there for? Go.
Kelley Armstrong: The Summoning
Kelley Armstrong has added another story to her tales of the Otherworld and supernaturals. Great, great, great! My only regret is since it is classified as a young adult it is shorter then normal and cut off right when it was getting really good. I have to wait until May 09 to finish it.
The basic story is that Chloe sees ghosts. When one comes to her at school she doesn’t know what is happening and freaks out. Causing her to get sent to a group home for disturbed teens. Although this group home is more then meets the eye. She is diagnosed as schizo and sent to therapy for it. She seems to be getting better until she is caught trying to contact a ghost in the attic. Later she gets in more trouble when she is caught with Derek where they shouldn’t be. I have some ideas about where it is going and was to find out if I am right, now. I have to wait until May 09 to find out, sad. At least there is a new Women of the Otherworld coming out before then.
Tanya Huff: Valor’s Trial
Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr is back with a vengence. Although the story is a little slow in the start up once it gets going it doesn’t stop. Without giving anything away Kerr finds herself in a POW camp that is disorganized and abusive to the Marines stuck in it. After some predicatable butt kicking Kerr wants out of the camp and back to her life. If for no other reason then the Confederate needs to know that the Others do take pisoners. I don’t want to say too much and ruin it for anyone.
Filled with unexpected twists and turns and one big one that when you think about it was pretty obvious this novel is a fun one. This book is fun and enjoyable, pick it up!
