#22 Claimed By Shadow by Karen Chance

This was one I picked up just to read on vacation. I had read the first book in the series on my last trip and thought it would be cool to read the sequel on this one. This one doesn't feel quite as rushed as the first book then. More stuff is explained to the reader but in the end the action doesn't take place over that much time. I hope the series doesn't go to the day in a life type of series. In the end there is no real resolution. She makes her decision not because this is what she wants to do but more of a lesser of two evils. Cassie has several obstacles to defeat before I think the series can really find a good strong footing. And I hope that comes soon since it seems to be a cool idea of a series.

#21 Kitty Takes a Holiday by Carrie Vaughn

This is the third book in the series and follows a few months after the events in Kitty goes to Washington. Now that she is outed as a werewolf she decides to retreat and write her life story. Of course she can't get anything on paper and is starting to have problems with her cabin in the woods. Her lawyer gets bitten helping out his cousin Cormac with a werewolf hunt. The story is him adjusting to this and Kitty dealing with her neighbors not liking her and someone is now trying to chase her out with charms and dead animals.  I won't say anymore about what happens but I like this series and hope that it continues.

Prepare for lots of reviews ;-)

I read 5 books on my little vacation. And that was just on the plane. I didn't get poolside time that I thought I would since a few days were cool for that and then I got sick during the vacation which left me as patient zero for concrud at Ravencon.

#23 Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

This is the second book in the series. I have to say that I really like Briggs writing. She writes a nice tight storyline. This book you find out more about vampires of this world. And Merce also finds out more about walkers as well. I do find it odd that she doesn't know more about herself but I'm sure at some point later on that will happen. Granted then that means she will have committed trilogy and it is something she has never done but I will be very happy if it does happen. She is such a fun read I can recommend all of her books with no reservations at all.
