Lady Allison | 150 comments Lovin' my books so far!

Katie MacAlister never disappoints me with her Dragons Septs & Tully Sullivan is her sassiest character yet! I laughed out loud all the way through! I love that she made us love the bad guy in such a serious way - Definitely looking foward to the next one!

Chloe Neill was a pleasant surprise because I wasn't sure what to expect going in but I really enjoyed the first book of the Chicagoland Vamps. There were a couple boring parts but it was probably more in part to the fact that I was more looking forward to getting back to the action! She writes incredibly well, very descriptive without getting flowery or overly dramatic while still roping the reader in - couldn't put it down! Currently entranced in the second book of the series :)
