Book Club Friday~!

The Keeping by Nicky Charles

Book review from smashwords.com
Ryne Taylor was a sexy bad-ass Alpha set on establishing a new pack. Melody Greene was a journalism student researching his work as a photographer—or so she said. But could Mel really be trusted or had she stumbled upon his secret? And if she knew, could Ryne save himself and the pack he’d left behind without enacting a deadly ancient law known as The Keeping? Sequel to The Mating.

My review!

I really enjoyed this book. I read The Mating last week and thought it was very captivating! It kept my attention and had lots of details, which I like. Although I enjoyed The Mating much more, The Keeping got really dramatic towards the end. A new character was introduced, Casandra, and the next book focuses on her. I may start reading the last book in the sequel (The Finding) today!

Review:

Elise is part of a pack of werewolves whose alpha is her father. He decides in order to keep the alliance with another pack, Elise will be "mated" to Kane, the other pack's new alpha. He is tall, dark, and of course handsome. He takes care of Elise and makes sure she is welcomed into his pack. This pack, however, has a lot of recent drama and some mysterious happenings. I loved how the story progressed, even though the way Kane and Elise were introduced was a bit akward in the beginning. This story kept my attention like no other, and there is two more books in this series which I will definately read next!

It took awhile to find good werewolf books (I found plenty of vamp books, but had trouble finding a good werewolf series.) Reader beware: There are some very adult scenes in this series, but it doesn't overpower the story thankfully! :)

BOOK CLUB FRIDAY! Blood & Chocolate

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause

This is gonna be really fast. I didn't feel like racking my brain to convince you to read this book, so I won't. I will just tell you quickly what it's about and how I felt reading it!

Vivian is a teenage girl who is part of a pack spiraling out of control. Her father, the former pack leader, is killed in a fire and has not been replaced. She tries her best to stay out of the inner pack politics because she disagrees with their idea of fun (killing!) The males in the pack treat her like a "piece of meat", but she can come off that way at times. She decides to start making human friends, if she can just not eat them! Although her "relationship" with human boy Aiden is underdeveloped and unsatisfying, everything else in the story kept me wanting more! Vivian is snarky and sarcastic, which made me giggle a bit. My attention was caught and kept immediately because of the non-stop action in the story. Even though I didn't care much for Aiden, I did enjoy the outcome of this story. It's not like every other werewolf book, in a good way. I was so sad when I finished reading this, because there is not a sequel. I searched the internet high and low, and no reports of it becomming a series. Bummer! But, this is a great book nonetheless and I loved it so much.
