Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Ugh. I got 22 pages into my current book (Carpe Corpus (Morganville Vampires, #6) by Rachel Caine) only to discover a MAJOR printing error. Pages 23-54 are the Introduction and first 7 chapters of The Prince by Machiavelli.

Moving on to another book for now, but if I can't get to the bookstore in time I might have to swap this one out for something else.

MARTINA'S FEBRUARY AUTHOR'S WEB CHALLENGE - 7/10

Just finished Tempting Evil (Riley Jensen, #3) by Keri Arthur (★★★★). This is a borderline erotica urban fantasy series featuring half-werewolf, half-vampire, Aussie, Riley Jensen. Riley and her twin brother work for a paranormal policing agency known as The Directorate. Each book is a new piece of a larger mission for Riley and her friends.

This particular book has Riley infiltrating a large event at the home of the local mafia boss. The espionage/spy angle is exciting and well-done. There's not a ton of foreshadowing, so the mystery unravels for the reader pretty much as the same time it does for our protagonist (which I prefer b/c otherwise you spend half the book mentally yelling at the protagonist to stop being so stupid and get a clue!).

As with the other two books, there's quite a bit of sex and violence - definitely an "R" rated book, if not an "NR". Riley isn't in a monogamous relationship, either, so there's not only plenty of sex, but it's with quite a few different partners and not all of it is necessary to further the story. If this bothers you, then this probably isn't a series for you.

There are nine books in the Riley Jensen series (all of them currently available) with a spin-off series (of indeterminate length) planned. If the books continue to be as good as these first three were, I'll definitely be reading through the end. :-)

I failed due to Shadowfever complelty throwing me off kilter. Just couldn't get through the darn thing.

I ended up going off on tangents and reading some historical romace stuff

Lol...I just got bored. I think I can only read so much one one type of book at a time before I have to try something different. Maybe 10 was just too many to try and get through for me without a break in genre.
