Over the Edge’s Monday Mailbox is running over. I blame this, mostly, on my eighteen year-old
daughter, Kierstynn. Just in the last
week, she has bought, either from Barnes & Noble online eBooks or had me
drive the thirty five minutes south to our local Barnes and Noble to purchase
eight of the nine releases in national bestselling author Terry Spear’s Wolfseries. To say my child is addicted is
seriously putting mildly. When she wasn’t
answering phone and covering the counter at our local pizza joint she was
reading one book or another of Ms. Spear in her down time.
Now, I take full responsibility in adding to my pending avalanche
aka RBR pile with four more Sherrilyn Kenyon.
I had to feed the need with adding ACHERON, DANCE WITH A DEVIL, BAD MOON
RISING and UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR.
I rounded out my week with BENEATH A BLOOD READ MOON.
Hope you enjoy this list as much as Kierstynn and I are.
Happy Reading !

Dark-Hunter Series Bk 3: DANCE WITH THE DEVIL: Publishers
Weekly
The third entry in Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series, which
focuses on the sexy vampire-like immortals who defend humans from soul-stealing
Daimons, is darker than last year's Night Embrace due to its change in setting
(from the French Quarter of New Orleans to the isolated Alaska wilderness) and
its focus on Zarek, the baddest of all the Dark-Hunters. Physically gorgeous
but scarred psychologically thanks to his former life as a Greco-Roman slave,
Zarek is bitter, feared and rejected by everyone, including the Greek goddess
who transformed him. It's up to the emotionally detached nymph Astrid, sister
to the three Fates, to judge whether 900 years of isolation has made Zarek too
vicious to be redeemed. To accomplish this task, she tries to push Zarek
"to the heights of his tolerance and beyond." Sasha, a werewolf
posing as a mere pet, serves as her protector, and the witty telepathic banter
between them is a nice counterpoint to the seriousness of Zarek and Astrid's
relationship. Kenyon's slangy dialogue also leavens the story. In the midst of
a heated battle, for instance, a disoriented Astrid asks Zarek what's
happening, and his blas reply is, "Not much.... Some invincible asshole is
trying to kill me." Those who can't get enough of bad boy heroes and Buffy
the Vampire Slayer reruns will relish this roguish tale. (Dec.) Forecast: Move
over, Anne Rice. Kenyon's Dark-Hunter books are changing the face of the
vampire novel, making it hip, darker and all the more appealing to the next
generation of readers. Booksellers who display this title alongside similar
paranormal novels, rather than shelving it in the general romance section, will
most likely see the strongest sales. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

anyone who's a part of it.
When a stranger appears at his doorstep, Aidan knows he's
seen her before…in his dreams.
Born on Olympus as a goddess, Leta knows
nothing of the human world. But a ruthless enemy has driven her from the world
of dreams and into the home of the only man who can help her: Aidan. Her
immortal powers are derived from human emotions—and his anger is just the fuel
she needs to defend herself…
One cold winter's night will change their lives forever…
Trapped together in a brutal winter storm, Aidan and Leta
must turn to the only power capable of saving them—or destroying them both:
trust.
Last but not least...
