Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.
Love Bites by Ellen Schreiber

Release date: May 18, 2010

Description: As a mortal girl dating a vampire, Raven knows that love isn't always easy. Now that Alexander's parents have returned to Romania, Raven and her dreamy vampire boyfriend are happy to resume their cryptic romance.

But soon another visitor comes knocking: Sebastian, Alexander's best friend, arrives for a stay at the mansion. At first Raven is wary, then thrilled-this is the perfect chance to learn more about her darkly handsome boyfriend and his past. Raven has been wondering whether Alexander will ever bite her and make their love immortal, and Sebastian could be her guide to the love habits of Alexander and his kind. But when Sebastian falls for a particular Dullsvillian, will another mortal beat Raven to the bite?

With suspense, dange, and a fabulous vampire party, this seventh book in the bestselling Vampire Kisses series continues the exciting nocturnal romance of Raven and Alexander.

THIS WEEKS LETTER IS: "N"

The book I picked is:

Never Cry Werewolf by Heather Davis

Sixteen-year-old Shelby knows she is acting out and making some bad choices when it comes to boys and dating, but she never expected her father and "wicked" stepmother to banish her to a "brat camp" for the summer. Luckily for Shelby, she is allowed to choose the artsy Camp Crescent instead of Priscilla's choice of Red Canyon-aka boot camp from hell. Camp turns out not to be a total waste even with the preachy Mr. Winters and singing guitar lady Cynthia. Shelby manages to make some new friends, but the real highlight is the arrival of Austin Bridges III. Not only is he the son of a legendary rock star, but he is also cute, kind, intriguing, and totally mysterious. Shelby is drawn to him and the terrible dark family secret that he is willing to share only with her. How can she turn her back on him, especially with the fully moon only a few nights away? Davis weaves together a fast-paced action adventure story with issues of peer pressure, divorce, betrayal, friendship, acceptance, and, of course, romance. Shelby is fearless and impulsice, but she is also a caring soul who just needs to find her way in a confusing world. This novel has great teen appeal but is not as dark or edgy as others in this genre. It will leave reads wanting more.

Review: Blade: Nightstalking


Blade Nightstalking is an exclusive comic created specifically for the Blade: Trinity DVD.

It takes place a year before the movie when Abigail Whistler meets her father. Abigail wants to hunt and kill vampires, so even though Whistler doesn't want that kind of life for his daughter, he trains her.

Eventually Abigail meets Hannibal and decides to give him a chance to take his life back.

I don't want to give too much away for those of you who haven't read it or seen the movie.

I loved it! Abigail Whistler is sexy and such a bad ass. Hannibal is, of course, hilarious. If you have the DVD and haven't read this, you have to do so.

My rating: 4 out 5

Review: Twilight The Graphic Novel Volume 1


It only took me about 10-15 minutes to read so this is going to be a short review.

I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it as I'm not the biggest Twilight fan to begin with. I have never read a graphic novel before either, though I have been meaning to for awhile.

Young Kim did an amazing job and every page is absolutely gorgeous. The only problem I had with it was that it came to an end so abruptly. I wish it was a little bit longer.

In the end would I recommend it to my friends? Yes, I would. It's a fast, beautiful read. I may even take a few minutes later this week and read it again.

My rating: 3 out of 5
