#74 Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin

This is a new book that I got months ago as a promo and to be honest the cover on the promo didn't look promising. I finally picked it up and realized it was fun. Jaz works for the CIA as an assistant to one of the top vampires in the spy industry. She doesn't know why he picked her for the job but she is good at what she does. That Jaz had tragedy in her past by losing her entire team including her fiance and her sister in law. The plus side is she isn't looking at dating her boss. The vampire attack that took out her team turns out to play a part in later part of the book. It makes for a nice reveal of Jaz's past without the writer info dumping all of it to the reader. Nice light reading and I'm sure at some point I will pick up the next one.

#75 Personal Demon by Kelley Armstrong

This is another one of the Women of the Otherworlds book. This one follows Hope. She was in the previous book and one of the short stories. At least you think it will be mostly Hope and Karl but then Lucas and Pagie get involved. Cabal politics plays a role in this along with how Lucas handles it. The book has a nice tie in to some of the earlier books as well but I will say no more less it ruin some of the plot. I have to be honest that I found that I didn't care for Hope that much. Not sure why but I guess I want to see what happens more with Pagie and her new school.

Also the book doesn't hit the shelves until March.

#76 Mona Lisa Blossoming by Sunny

This is the second book in the series. Total light fluff to be read in an hour or two. By the end of the book I'm wondering why she doesn't have someone sit down with her and explain everything about this culture. Granted that would take away most of the story but watching the heroine flail around in ignorance and trying to be a Queen by the seat of her pants is a bit silly. I might read the third book if I can get if from the library but I'm certainly not shelling out trade paperback prices for it.
