This Week's Reads

Raven Cursed by Faith Hunter
Jane Yellowrock #4 (Goodreads)
**I'm really enjoying this series. It has a nice mix of weres, witches, and vampires. I'm also probably the only person that doesn't like Rick but I'm able to overlook that character/romance since the rest of books are so good.

A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong
Casey Duncan #2 (Goodreads)
**City of The Lost was one of my favorite books last year. I'm hoping book 2 is just as good. I really liked getting to know Casey and the town (and people) of Rockton.

Another Castle: Grimoire by  Andrew Wheeler, Paulina Ganucheau (Illustrator) (Goodreads)
**Another new find at the library. Not familiar with this series but anything with a kickass princess is a good start.

This Week's Reads

Miranda and Caliban by Jacqueline Carey
(Goodreads)
**I really like Carey's work and usually like retellings. Not sure about this particular story but blurb along with the others made me give it a try.

Spectacle by Rachel Vincent
Menagerie #2 (Goodreads)
**I really enjoyed book 1 and wanted to know what happened to the group next. We're basically told all of that in the book summary. It did takes us forward enough that I'm still interested in what happens to everyone  just further into the story.

Winter Halo by Keri Arthur
Outcast #2 (Goodreads)
**This is another that I just read and enjoyed book 1. I'm going in with lowered expectations based on what others have said (good but not as good as book 1) but still hoping.
