Although I hadn't really planned to put out the money just yet when I already have so many good-looking books perched on my to-be-read pile, I gave in to a moment of weakness and ordered Playing Easy to Get. The book includes stories from Kresley Cole (the beginning of the Immortals After Dark series), Jaid Black (author of many a good hot story) and Sherrilyn Kenyon (author of the sexy Dark Hunter series). With these authors, I really don't think I can go wrong.

I was a little antsy about paying nearly $12 for an anthology, but damn, I'm addicted to the “Immortals After Dark”, and how could I possibly pass this one up now that I know it has the story of Nikolai Wroth and Myst the Coveted? I knew those two felt more like a stand-alone story than just a subplot to A Hunger Like No Other, but I let it slip right by me….

Amazon is my pal. They've even sent me an email saying the book has already shipped. :-)

I've posted my review of Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole. This is a wonderful addition to the Immortals After Dark series and I can't recommend it highly enough. The book itself could stand alone, but why should it? It's part of a series and I suggest you get them all and read them in order to get the most impact out of them.

I'll admit, I haven't read the story that started it all from Playing Easy to Get, but I just found out it was part of the series and I can assure you I have it on my to-be-bought-immediately list. I have five books I bought two weeks ago that I have to read first, and some ebooks on my pda to read, and frankly, I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long… :-)

Life is good. I hadn't realized how badly I've missed reading!

Alrighty then. Let me just say that I am thrilled to have spent too many hours today reading this book (Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole). The book delivered. In fact, of the entire series, I would have to say this one was the absolute best one yet. And from what I've read and intimated about the upcoming book, I expect it will be just as good or better.

Ms. Cole keeps delivering goodness!

My review will be online this week, of this and the other books in the series (when I get the new darned review page online which I am entirely ashamed to admit I forgot to finish creating before putting all the rest of the site database upgrades online—oh, and there are one or two others I forgot to finish too, but I won't mention them since the non-working links for those are a little harder to run across!).

So, what am I reading? Guess. Really, you shouldn't have to think hard!

Dark Needs at Night's Edge arrived yesterday and I am just about to read the first chapter. I've snuck a peak of the first two pages and I'm already intrigued. A good author is the kind who can catch you in that first page and not let you go until you've put down the book, if even then. Kresley Cole fits the bill with this Immortals After Dark series. I admit I haven't read any of her other books, but these are wonderful reads!

Here's looking forward to another great reading experience~see ya!

[Edit] I meant to mention that the book was waiting for me yesterday when I got home from Amazon because I had preordered it. A preorder—I must have really loved those other books, you think?

I'm adding some of my improvements today. If anything goes haywire, don't worry about it. I have backups and I'm prepared to use them! Of course, that's only if I totally screw something up today, which I sincerely hope won't happen.

Anyway, today isn't the end all of the process, but a large chunk of updates are going to go online in a little while. Wish me luck. :-)

UPDATE: Things have gone pretty well. There were a few bugs and one that I still have to take care of. (Oops!) I still have data to load and a few other things, but like I said in a previous post, at first you're probably not even going to notice much at all! :-) Do let me know if you find problems though, because it might be something I don't know about.

Although I haven't yet posted the reviews for the latest books I've devoured (yes that's the exact word for it since they've all been delicious!), I have a new recommendation for your reading pleasure.

Warlord by Angela Knight is a plot heavy, sex-ational action and romance collection. Warlord contains Jane's Warlord, an additional novella, and two short stories. I had heard Jane's Warlord was fabulous, but I hadn't gotten around to reading it yet. I might wish I had already read it but then I wouldn't be having so much fun reading it now, would I?
