Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress Series

This is one of the best vampire series that I have read to date! Cat Crawford is not your average young woman. She was born half-vampire and half-human after her mother experienced an encounter with a newly turned vampire. After years of listening to her mother’s bigotry regarding her half-vampire heritage Cat sets out to find and kill her father as revenge for raping her mother. Cat needlessly risks her life posing as ‘bait’ to horny vampire males and this is where we get to meet the illustrious Bones.

Bones is one of the best male characters I’ve read to date. Each time you read him on a page, it makes you want to giggle like a teenager. Never before have I been so interested in a couple after they have gotten together. Frost does such an amazing  job keeping your interest in Bones and Cat’s relationship throughout this entire series.

Most Memorable Scene

Cat is bleeding on the forehead. 

Bones crouches down in front of Cat preparing to help with her wound, when she bats his hand away and mutters “Bones there are other people that are actually wounded” 

Bones “Kitten, you always come first” {insert swoon here} 

This series is not to be missed!

Molly Harper’s Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs

 Is a fun series that has a fresh, wry sense of humor.  I found myself giggling and snickering while my husband kept asking me what was so funny. After a couple of shoulder shrugs and rolling of the eyes (apparently a sign of disrespect), I was sent on a time-out to the bedroom until I could learn to ‘communicate like an adult’. After finishing the book and having to say three nice things about my husband I couldn’t help but re-read all my favorite lines.

Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children’s librarian and self-professes nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed twenty-five dollars in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes n a bender that’s sure to become Half Moon Hallow legend. On her way home, she’s mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead. And thanks to the mysterious stranger she met while chugging neon-colored cocktails, she wakes up with a decidedly unladtlike0thirst for blood.

Most Memorable Scenes

Jane has just recently become a vampire and her ‘sire’, Gabriel is teaching her the ropes.

“You can just wipe his memory?” I asked. “Can I do that? Because I’d kind of like to get my uncle Dave to stop telling the story about me flashing my panties at his wedding reception.”

Gabriel stared at me.

“I was three,” I explained. “Pink panties were a big deal”.

Jane best friend Zeb has just found out she is ‘undead’.  He has stabbed her numerous times and has made her jump off the roof just to test her healing capabilities.

 

“Funny.” I grimace. Zeb was looking around, scanning the porch for something. “You want to stab me again, don’t you?”

He didn’t look at all ashamed. “Think of it as testing the limits of your new abilities.”

I groaned. “I’ve created a monster.”

“I don’t think someone who recently crawled from the grave should be throwing around labels like ‘monster,’ he said, making sarcastic little air-quotes finger.

“It wasn’t a grave.” I sniffed. “It was a comfy four-poster.”

Chloe Neil’s Chicagoland Vampire Series

For those of you who liked Ilona Andrews Kate Danile’s series then you’ll be just as enraptured with Ms. Neil’s Chicagoland vampire series. Merit is an undergraduate student who had the misfortunate of being at the wrong place and wrong time. Left for dead after being bitten by a vampire, she is changed into one by the Master of the Chicagoland Vampires, Ethan.  She’s sarcastic, understated but beautiful, and somehow always get’s herself in trouble. 

They killed me. They healed me. They changed me.

Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn’t exactly glamorous, but it was mine. I was doing fine until Chicago’s vampires announced theirexistence to the world-and then a rogue vampire attacked me. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsucker… and this one decided the best way to save my life was to make me the walking undead.

Warning: Once you start this book you won’t be able to stop. I stayed up till 2:oo am  to finish this series. Totally worth it.
