Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men (Book 2 of the Jane Jameson Series) by Molly Harper


This book is an absolute hoot. 5 out of 5 stars. Jane is the same witty, sarcastic girl we came to love in book 1, but things are evolving now.
Zeb is getting married to Jolene, a werewolf. Jane is the maid of honor, forced to wear the most hideous dress she's ever seen. But that's not the worst of her problems. The Black Widow (Grandma Ruthie) just lost another fiance to a rather suspicious natural death, and Wilbur is jumping to the chance to take his place. When Jane notices pig's blood, she gets curious.
Turns out Wilbur has a very fruitful past with his former wives as well, giving the Black Widow a run for her money.
So Jane has to keep a wedding from derailing, keep Wilbur from killing her grandmother, and maintain a relationship with her boyfriend and sire, Gabriel.
I highly recommend this series, and if you happen to have a sense of humor, you will find yourself laughing constantly.

Dreamfever (Book 4 of the Fever Series) by Karen Marie Moning


Enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Another beef with this series is a cliffhanger. Unfortunately the final installment of this series is not going to be released unil January, so if cliffhangers bother you, like they really bother me, you may want to hold off for a bit.
Mac has become priya, as three Unseelie princes have descended upon her, and Barrons has to work for months to try to set her back to rights. Once she gets there she has a horde of sidhe seers to work with, and keep her feelings for Barrons in check. But when her sister's killer holds her parents hostage, attempting to force Mac's help in obtaining the Sinsar Dubh, things go awfully wrong.
I really enjoyed this book. Like I mentioned before, I can't stand cliffhangers and it really bothers me that I have to wait until January to find out what happens. I love Mac and Barrons and all that they are working for. I highly recommend this series.

Faefever (Book 3 of the Fever Series) by Karen Marie Moning


I give this book an enthusiastic 5 stars. My only complaint: cliffhanger. GAH! Those are the worst.
Mackayla Lane returns with Barrons, V'lane, and hordes of Unseelie filling the streets of Dublin, Ireland. Not only does she have a cop on her tail, but there are warnings of the walls between worlds literally falling apart.
Mac has to fight for her body and soul while still trying to find her sister's killer, the Sinsar Dubh and exacting some very cold revenge.
I don't want to give away spoilers, so I'll stop there. This book is very epic and the ending will throw you through a loop. I highly suggest you have book 4 at the ready or it quite possibly will drive you insane.

Bloodfever (Book 2 of the Fever Series) by Karen Marie Moning


Mackayla Lane is back in the second installment of the Fever series. I give this book 5 stars.
I really enjoyed this book, the commentary and tension going on between Mac and Barrons is fantastic. Mac has to contend with V'lane, she has to keep working to find her sister's killer, and stay alive at the same time.
Without giving away spoilers to those who have not read this series yet, I'm going to refrain from going much further with this. I tell you one thing, I HIGHLY recommend this series. You will not be dissapointed.
