Summer Knight (The Dresden Files # 4) by Jim Butcher

Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, #4)Summer Knight by Jim Butcher

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


~~~~
Private detective/wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is suckered into tangling in the affairs of Faerie, where the fate of the entire world-and his soul-are at stake.

~~~~~



It has been a while since I spent time with Harry. Glad to get back. Another action packed, hard to put down, book. Lots going on but still a lot to be resolved. Looking forward to getting caught up with the series.

Driven to Ink (Tattoo Shop Mystery #3) by Karen E. Olson

Driven to Ink (Tattoo Shop Mystery, #3)Driven to Ink by Karen E. Olson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Brett Kavanaugh is a tattoo artist and owner of Vegas's hottest tattoo shop, The Painted Lady. And in her spare time, she does some sleuthing. After discovering the corpse of a Dean Martin impersonator-sporting a spider web tattoo and a clip cord from a tattoo machine wrapped around his neck-Brett infiltrates That's Amore, a drive-through wedding chapel, as a bride-to-be looking for the mark of a murderer...



Had a harder time getting into this book than I did the previous couple. Overall it was an enjoyable read. Almost too much going on, but it all came together in the end. I do like the path that Brett and Jeff's relationship is taking.

Kiss of Death (Morganville Vampires, Book 8) by Rachel Caine

Kiss Of Death (The Morganville Vampires, #8)Kiss Of Death by Rachel Caine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
~~~~~

Vampire musician Michael Glass has attracted the attention of a big- time producer who wants to cut a demo and play some gigs-which means Michael will have to enter the human world. For this, he's been assigned escorts that include both a dangerous immortal as well as Michael's all-too-human friends. And with that mix of personalities, this is going to be a road trip from hell...

~~~~~

I always enjoy reading about the newest trouble that Claire and friends get into. They finally get a taste of freedom and of course end up in the middle of a war. Great storyline. We actually get to see Oliver show some humanity. I really enjoyed this book and very much look forward to the next in the series.

Broke and unemployed, "Jumper" Sirantha Jax accepts a diplomatic mission for the government— only to find herself up against Syndicate criminals, man-eating aliens, and her own grimspaceweakened body.

Enjoyed this second book in the Sirantha Jax series as much as if not more than the first book. Wonderful characters and lots of action. Really looking forward to getting my hands on the rest of this series soon.

Grimspace (Sirantha Jax #1) by Ann Aguirre

Grimspace (Sirantha Jax, #1)Grimspace by Ann Aguirre

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


~~~

As the carrier of a rare gene, Sirantha Jax has the ability to jump ships through grimspace-a talent which makes her a highly prized navigator for the Corp. Then a crash landing kills everyone on board, leaving Jax in a jail cell with no memory of the crash. But her fun's not over. A group of rogue fighters frees her...for a price: her help in overthrowing the established order.

~~~

At first I was not sure that I liked the author's writing style, but the more I read, the harder it got to put down. Ended up totally loving this book and look forward to reading more about Sirantha and March as well as their adventures.
