Tome Thursday: Lover Enshrined

Hello everyone!

I am, apparently, on a vampire binge. I keep thinking I need to go back and rewatch the first three seasons of Vampire Diaries (which I absolutely adored, might I add, before Elena got turned into a vampire, because afterwards it became a trainwreck of epic proportions) yet haven't had the time to actually get down to business about it. I'll probably work it in at some point when the rest of the shows I watch wrap up for their current seasons!

But as I wrote last week, I was VERY happy about the release of J. R. Ward's latest Black Dagger Brotherhood book, 'The Beast', and I keep getting more and more stoked as she posts certain updates on her Facebook page which indicate A HUGE, HUGE SPOILER FOR THE NEXT BOOK!

I'm not going to write it down here. You'll see it on her page if you do check it out, although if you don't want to know I'd steer clear.

Apparently, however, the next book is titled 'The Chosen', which tells me that it's probably going to be about Layla and Xcor. I'm on the fence about it to be honest, but there'll be a lot of Qhuinn and Blay, so thank goodness for that!

As I'm on the binge though, I thought I'd do a review of another book in the series, number six: Lover Enshrined.

Tome Thursday: Blood Kiss

Hello everyone!

So I'm back to reading about vampires, which, really, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Every once in a while, I'll stumble over some book or book series that will give me my needed bloodsucker dose, although admittedly not everyone does it with as much fanfare as JR Ward, I think.

If anyone has been keeping track of my blog (which I hope you have, but oh well, fingers crossed!), I've been a Ward fan since a very good friend of mine introduced me to the series.

Or, well, the story goes like this: she kept on talking about it, and I sort of kept it in the back of my mind, that I have to read these books, but at the time I didn't have my ereader yet, so it was a bit of a problem until I figured out I could convert the files to PDF, which could then be read on my poor phone (the thing might have died a thousand deaths over one book ... I am still chagrined over that) to my heart's content.

And I was hooked.

Not only are these vampires badass, six-foot-sixers, the lot of them, with black belts in martial arts and zero clue in social behaviour, but they're also sexy as hell.

No surprise to anyone, then, that when the spin-off series was announced, I squealed.
