Carpathian Series #7 - Sara Marten has been pursued since she was 15 by a vampire who has killed everyone she's ever loved... now she's met someone else supernatural. A lot of cute talk about nobility and bravery, etc. The storyline of the Carpathians is signifigantly more compelling than Sara and Falcon are.
Dirk & Steele #4 - Same kind of deal. One does want to know a litte more about the PI agency... The description of violence feels like Dean Koontz. All very formulaic, but I found the gargoyle angle fairly unique.
Is there anything else comparable to reading this kind of thing? It's fine, but afterward you feel a little gross... maybe binge eating junkfood... Not because of the sex, because all the women are vulnerable virgins with hearts of gold. Yeah, and what's wrong with women who strong and slutty and complete all by themselves? ...more
Um, hm. Ran into a pile of these today. They really have an addictive quality. I'm crazy about cousin Claire who won't admit she's a fairy and says heUm, hm. Ran into a pile of these today. They really have an addictive quality. I'm crazy about cousin Claire who won't admit she's a fairy and says her Versace dress was shot and eats flowers all the time. Is there anything comparable one could read that would be funny and creative and instead be a mystery novel? Still, KM has a way of creating characters you care about. Well, the women anyway....more

I really like all the smutty vampire stuff that comes out anymore. There's a whole section in any bookstore that has formulaic vampire/supernatural love stories that are otherwise just like Harlequins I read at the pool as a teen. As a teen I always felt a little ashamed to read them because anyone looking knew they were smutty.
Now I feel a little ashamed because all the smut is about male-dominates-female-and-gosh-is-it-hot. Um, gross. I think they're fun, and a nice relief from heavy reading, but I really prefer some Christoper Pike or Melissa Marr or Cassie Clare because there isn't such a heavy dependence on tacky and ultimately unsatisfying sex.
I try to somehow tie the titles of books in my head so that I don't accidentally re-read the same books and not figure it out until halfway through... So this is the fourth book in the Aisling series. Why is it called Holy Smokes? There's the smoke scene in Fiat's lair... there's the issue with ending her proscription by seeing the Court - they're holy, I guess. Also, we continue the war with the Red Dragons, find a Black Dragon, and leave open a few mysteries about other allegedly missing dragons. ...more
