It snowed today, which was a good excuse to read. I had plans to see my grandson in the play he was starring in, but because of the stupid snow, they cancelled the last performance. I’m sad I didn’t get to see him perform. I was really looking forward to it. So I just sat and read instead. Seemed like the best thing to do.
I was kind of hoping to be done with the snow, but that’s
not what Mother Nature wanted it seems.
Here’s what I read since my last
update:

Blurb from Book: Half-Fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan loves her life. Every night is a party, and Bryce is going to savor all the pleasures Lunathion—also known as Crescent City—has to offer. But then a brutal murder shakes the very foundations of the city, and Bryce’s world comes crashing down.
Two years later, Bryce still haunts the city’s most notorious nightclubs—seeking only oblivion now, trying to put the past behind her. When the murderer attacks again and an infamous Fallen angel, Hunt Athalar, is assigned to watch her every footstep, Bryce knows she can’t forget any longer.
As Bryce and Hunt fight to unravel the mystery, the threads they tug ripple through the underbelly of the city, across warring continents and down to the deepest levels of Hel, where things that have been sleeping for millennia are beginning to stir…
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts: Took me a little over a month to finish this behemoth. Granted, even with the cruise and stays in various Florida cities, I wasn’t always able to read it like I thought I would (for some reason I didn’t read any of it in the car). Once I returned home, I spent more time on it (read the second half much quicker than the first). It’s a good book and I will probably get the next two in the series. Although, they’re even longer than this one. A mystery I didn’t figure out and lots of suspense. And I did wonder if there was going to be any kind of romance. That didn’t come to light until about half-way, which made me happy. A lot happens in this book, that’s for sure. But if you like big books, you’ll probably love this one. Plus, NO CLIFFHANGER! Yay!
Because I thought we were going to go out today, I had
cleared the driveway. Then I got the news about the cancellation. If only they
had contacted me earlier. I could have saved myself all that work.
Well… maybe. I guess it DOES need to be cleared. Haven’t
bothered with the cars, yet. Hoping it’ll get warmer. But with that howling
wind, I don’t think that’s gonna happen any time soon.
Happy Reading!
