My thoughts:

I was surprised to learn that this is the final book in the Riley Jenson series. Well I should have known since the title is Moon Sworn, that means Riley's finally getting married.

The author managed to give good closure to the series. I love the characters, I will definitely miss Riley, Quinn, Rhoan and Kade. I'm so glad that after all those pain and difficulties since birth Riley gets a happy ending.

The ceremony was great! It was a perfect ending... Sometimes I wonder if these things really happen in life :) Thanks Keri you made such a wonderful series. Now waiting for Risa's and Dia's series!

About the book:

"Some nights never end. Some desires never die. . . . She ventures where no one else dares—into realms of peril and pleasure. But will this next journey be her last?

Shape-shifting werewolf and vampire Riley Jenson is through with death–causing it, solving it, surviving it. Her soul mate, Kye Murphy, is dead–and at Riley’s own hands. Not even the seductive embrace of her vampire lover, Quinn, can fully ease her mind, for she has begun questioning everything that makes her Riley–including her job at the Directorate.

Now, the ritualistically slain bodies of ex-cons have started turning up. Reluctantly, Riley takes the case, but something even worse is waiting in the wings. For a vicious enemy from her past is determined to strip Riley of everything that gives her life any meaning: her lover, her brother–and even her own identity. Can Riley survive this ultimate assault? All she knows is, she must fight one last time to find answers, before everything goes dark forever…" http://www.keriarthur.com/

Looks like you're dead Sookie, dead. . .

I was reading reviews about Dead in the Family and most of the people who have read the book didn't think DitF is a good follow up on Dead and Gone.



I am now having second thoughts on buying the hard bound book. They also talked about having HBO True Blood's characters in there? One even suggested to just skip this book, wtf? Like there is no plot at all. And the one thing I'm waiting didn't happen, Bill and Sookie getting back together!


I think if that's the case then i will just wait for the paper back copy of DitF or just skip it.

My thoughts:
Book 7 of the Anita Blake Series
I don't know. Anita's life wasn't really great in this book. I don't really enjoy Anita's life with the were pack, and I was not also impressed by the Vampire council politics. The only thing I enjoyed in this book was again Jean Claude-Anita-Richard story. I am really enjoying the series but maybe I have to stop for a while.

About the book:

"You can't trust anyone who sleeps with monsters.”

That's what Anita Blake had always believed. But now she was sharing a bed with the Master Vampire of the city. So when an arsonist began to target vampire victims, the creatures of the night turned to their former enemy. For now only "The Executioner" could save them from the inferno...

It's often hard to tell the good from the evil. Just ask Anita Blake. She seems to be developing a soft spot in her heart for vampires-one in particular. So, when an arsonist's fires begin licking at St. Louis's undead, it's up to Anita to save the very monsters she's sworn to destroy.
