Ghost Talker (Ghost Seer #4) by Robin D. Owens

Review:

An angry poltergeist is stirring up trouble at Buffalo Bill’s grave, and Clare and Zach have been hired to investigate. Assisting them on the case as usual is their ghost dog Enzo, but they’re also aided by the restless ghost of Bill’s friend, Texas Jack. Meanwhile, the most well-known psychic in Denver is angered by Clare’s involvement in the case and will do whatever it takes to stop her.

Of course, facing threats both living and undead are nothing new for Clare and Zach. Their relationship has weathered many storms. But there is a growing danger inside of Clare that could tear them both apart...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Reviews:

I liked the conversations between Tex and Enzo because you get your ghost buddy and ghost puppy and it just becomes comical. Its funny getting the whole depiction of how a dog would be interpreted into a person mentality wise so I love all the conversations Enzo gets to be a part of.

Clare seems a bit more testy as far as her limitations on patience this time around and it comes out in her relationship with Zach for a large portion of the book. My biggest bug that annoyed me was the whole "Love.. Love - er.. Love?" debate/nick name and reluctance during love making moments because it causes a stall out in the mood.

But I also liked that they found a way through both good times and bad together so you get an even mix of forward and back in their emotional stage of their relationship.

Over all I thought this was a great read and I always have a good time with Owens Ghost Seer series.

Midnight Marked (Chicagoland Vampires #12) by Chloe Neill

Review:

Merit is one of Chicago's most skilled vampire warriors; these days, she doesn't scare easily. But she and Master vampire Ethan have made a new and powerful enemy, and he won't give up until he owns the Windy City.

With his last plan thwarted, he's more determined than ever to watch Cadogan burn. Ethan has put the House's vampires on high alert, but their enemy will stop at nothing, including pitting vampire against vampire...

In this deadly game of cat-and-mouse, the stakes are life or death—and winning might mean sacrificing everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Review:

I am actually really happy with the progression of intimate and family dynamic relationships. I'm happy with the rate of development (if that's the right word?) as far as how Merit has handled coping with her new life and what she has become.

I have a lot of respect for how Merit sort of deals or accepts the way certain family members are even though its not all hearts and flowers. I believe it makes it more realistic that family isn't always perfect because that's the way it is in real life.

I really liked Ethan. He's embraced changing some of his faultier personality traits but its not flip a switch and its build a boyfriend perfection over night. He still has work to do with his development and how he handles himself. He's still imperfect but I think that's what makes him so great.

In the end its all the imperfection in everyone that really made me love this installment.

Midnight Bites (The Morganville Vampires) by Rachel Caine

Review:

MIDNIGHT BITES, the new Morganville Vampires short story anthology! It will bring together almost everything that I've written in short form about Morganville ... though I did leave out some of the original "diary" entries that appeared on an earlier version of the Morganville website, simply because they were just scenes and not stories, and were generally really short snippets. This is all short fiction, and it's been carefully organized into the timeline, so you can read from the earliest adventures (some of which belong to vampires) all the way through some post-Daylighters goodies.

MIDNIGHT BITES includes a total of more than 50,000 words of brand new content, which makes me very happy indeed (and I hope will also make you happy, too). From stories featuring our favorite bunny-slipper-wearing mad scientist to a mystery solved by police chief Hannah Moses, I think you'll find this is a diverse group of stories that will shine a little more light in the murkiest corners of Morganville.

 

 

 

 

My Review:

I love these little ice cream sandwish stories. These novellas that you get are treats between novels that give you little visits into the MV world.

I love getting these kind of books together in one place with lots of authors but I really enjoyed getting to read this book because I only just recently got into the MV series on accident and wound up loving it so I wanted to explore more be a part of more and here I got it.

Its really great that you can find the little snippets here together in one place because it gives you reason to want to revisit this world all over again.
