What I've been reading...

Kerri Arthur's Riley Jenson series.

Oh how do I love this series? Let me count the ways…

Firstly she's a werewolf/vampire half breed and she kicks ass. Secondly the series is set in Melbourne which makes a nice change from the US. Thirdly they are full on with naughty bits and Kerri Arthur gives good naughty bits. Fourthly there is a cast of likeable characters. A love interest that has me vacillating between hating and approving of. Fifthly the universe has an interesting premise with clones as well as a host of other shifters, Vamps and other supernatural beasties.

The books are quick paced and importantly not too long. They are fun and whist some elements get a tad repetitive, I can't seem to stop reading them.  I seem to be in somewhat of a completist mind set of late and am really enjoying reading series after series. It's partially because once I'm in a particular universe I like to stay there for a while and enjoy. The downside is that some turns of phrasing become a little bit over used.  This wouldn't be the case if I was mixing things up a little.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the first seven! 

Next up is a slight break from the urban fantasy, I'm reading Joanne Harris' Runemarks

books and stuff

Update on books I've been reading.

Finished the books I had on the weather warden series. Windfall and Firestorm both cracking.  I zipped through them because they begged to be read and quickly.  The pace which was already break-neck speed went up another notch and its completely flat out with very little respite from the dangers that are besetting our heroine Joanne on all sides.

As I've previously stated the novels are a lot of fun and have been very enjoyable. There is a further book in the series that I don't have that I will have to seek out at some point because I need to know how the sequence ends.  It is a very inventive series of books and highly addictive.

Following on from that I realised that I had been given the 4th book in the Succubus series: Succubus Heat by Richelle Mead.  I intently disliked the third book in the sequence but the fourth one was rather good.  I think it is like the star trek films and the even number ones are better than the odd numbered ones.

I'm caught up on those which left me with a quandary, what to read next.  I've been eyeing the Kerri Arthur Books for a while so I'm sinking my fangs into Full Moon Rising.

Also in order not to be boring I might mix up the series a little.  I find it hard to write about the same author in spurts the way I've had to.  Especially if I'm reading a series I feel like I'm being repetitive when talking about them. If this series is too addictive then I might not be able to help what I read but I'll see how it goes.
