Makes for a satisfying weekend

One of my favorite authors, J. R. Ward released the first of her new series on Tuesday. I didn't waste any time and picked up a copy to read this weekend. Luckily, it was released in paperback and didn't do too much damage to my checkbook.

Covet is a great start to a new series although not as intense as the Black Dagger Brotherhood books, not yet anyway. The characters are well developed and the main character Jim has been set up to take a starring role in what looks to be another 6 books.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of J.R. Ward, Laurell K. Hamilton, Sunny, Christina Dodd or Lara Leigh.

Ghostland by Jory Strong

Just finished this book by Jory Strong, it's the first I've ever read by her & it was really good. It's basically a supernatural post-apocalyptic novel with some romance added in. It's around 300 pgs and a relatively quick read since the plot is rather complicated. It's unlike most the supernatural romances out there because the main characters are not the commonly used vampires, witches, and mermaids. The characters are well developed, the setting is unusual, and the plot is very well developed. I recommend it and the cover is also very well designed. 4/5 stars

"Welcome to a postapocalyptic world, where the afterlife holds beings that only the bravest can summon-or dare to desire.

Taken from her home and family, shamaness Aisling McConaughey must enter the "ghostlands" to save a wealthy man's mistress. But there's a price to pay for her power: She must summon the Djinn prince Zurael en Caym-and yield to his savage, sensual rage.

Zurael intends to kill Aisling after she's served as bait to find an enemy in possession of an ancient tablet. But the more he tastes her innocent spirit, the more he'll use his fiery touch to keep her hungry for his mercy-even as they weave an erotic spell that he cannot escape... " -Fallen Angel Reviews
