Succubus Revealed


Title: Succubus Revealed
Author: Richelle Mead
Series: Georgina Kincaid (Book 6)
Genre: Paranormal

Georgina and Seth are working on their relationship and rationing sex. Everything seems to be going pretty well until Georgina finds out she's being transferred to Las Vegas. It seems like a Succubus's dream, but not Georgina's.

She goes and checks it out and everything seems perfect. Seth even wants to move with her, but then his sister has cancer and seems to be doing very poorly. Georgina doesn't want to let him leave her family alone.

And then things start to not add up. Georgina's paranormal group of friends are thinking about how something is not right. Georgina's transfer seems to be a way to keep her and Seth apart. It's time to try and think about the contracts again. Through some past life regression, Georgina and her friends find some very interesting information.

Quite an end to the series. I did feel as if it were a little far fetched (although apparently, making deals with Hell is not?) but enjoyed it just the same. Everything is wrapped up and ended on a perfect note.

Wolfsbane


Title: Wolfsbane
Author: Andrea Cremer
Series: Nightshade (Book 2)
Genre: Young Adult



Calla wakes up and she is in the Searchers' Academy, although she doesn't know that right away. Since switching sides and going against everything that she knows - she is now in a situation where she knows nothing. Within a short time of waking she is reunited with Shay. The two of them along with the Searchers start making a plan to overthrow the Keepers.

This book is chock full of information. We learn about how Guardians came to be (supposedly the real story), what's up with the Keepers and the Searchers and more about everyone's background. Sure there wasn't a lot of action until the very end, but I felt like it was full of information that will be needed to fully understand the war going on.

The reader is often left feeling confused and not completely sure about the happenings...much like our main characters. We are in the same boat as them and learn about things as they do.

There were a few parts in this book where I was shocked by the acts of violence that happen or are mentioned. This is definitely going to be a bloody war.

Spell Bound


Title: Spell Bound
Author: Kelley Armstrong
Genre: Paranormal
Series: Women of the Otherworld (Book 12)


I recently finished reading this book, and couldn't even explain what it was about. It was a book full of fluff.

At the end of Waking the Witch, the cliffhanger was that Savannah has lost her powers. Well, at the end of Spell Bound, she still has no powers. The other characters of the stories that we know and love don't make much of a showing (just Adam). Adam and Savannah's relationship doesn't move forward past friends.

Throughout the story Savannah is looking for who took her powers and how to get them back...she doesn't really get any information regarding this. She does learn that there is a group of paranormals who want to be able to be out in the open. They briefly kidnap her...but there still isn't much that develops from that.

Hopefully this fluff will be rounded out with a great next book.
