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.

Books: Ill Wind - Rachel Caine

This series of books came highly reccommended by my book doner twitter's @boneist.

Ill Wind is the first in the Weather Warden series.  What makes this series of novels unique is that weather wardens are kind of elemental magicians. They manage their magic with help from their Djinns.  Its an intriguing and unique set up, no vampires or werewolves.

Its first person narrative, its pacy and its sexy.

I found it scarily easy to read and very definitely addictive.
