Book Weekend:
Queen of Song and Soul
by C.L Wilson

Okay, so I lied. Last week I mention to friend that I saw Queen of Song and Souls (book #4) by C.L Wilson at my local walmart. And was planning to buy it, but than I decided to put it back because I want to get a copy of the first two books of the Tairen Soul series, first. Or least check it out from the library to see if the first book would interested me. Well..that was last week. Today, I went back to Walmart and was just checking to see if there any new books on shelf, since Tuesday is the usual release date for most books. I was disappointed there wasn't anything new. And so I browse through the books and I passed by Queen of Song and Souls about three times until I finally decided to go ahead and grab a copy. I figure I should just get the book now, since it there, so I won't have to worry about buying it later. The first three books are already in my wish list, so I hope to get copies of them and than get into the series soon. Who know, maybe I be lucky to get a surprise from my Secret Santa this year *wink* teehehee.

I've read many good thing about the Tairen Soul series, from friends (you know who you are *grin*)who highly recommend it. It's a fantasy romance, which I don't read a lot of - even though I have read a few in the past. Maybe reading the book, well make me want to go back and read fantasy again.

Here is the synopsis for Queen of Song and Souls by C.L Wilson:

ONLY TOGETHER COULD THEIR SOULS BE COMPLETE...
ONLY TOGETHER COULD THEY SURVIVE...
ONLY TOGETHER COULD THEY UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF THE PAST AND UNLEASH THEIR GREATEST MAGIC....

As war rages all around them, and the evil mages of Eld stand on the brink of triumph, Rain and Ellysetta must learn to trust completely in their love and in themselves, and embrace a forbidden power that will either destroy their world or save it.

Adam’s not about to have his reputation burned by a critic who doesn’t even know the difference between poaching and paring.

Sex...
What is it with men anyway? Bad cars, bad jobs, even bad teeth- nothing convinces them that they can't snare a size Two Babe with a D-cup chest. And after way too many online dates with men named "Luvstick" and "Bigdaddy182," Lucy Rothchild should know.


Lies...
But sitting across from her now is "hardluvnman," and he seem different- sensitive, honest, and hot!He says he's a plumber, while Lucy claims she's a nurse! She's really a mystery writer, dating online while researching her next book. Hey, everyone lies a little, don't they?


And Online Dating...
But Quinn's really an undercover cop hunting down a serial killer, and he see Lucy as his top suspect. And while he could really go for this smart, sexy woman with the killer bod- if that's the only thing "killer" about her- he knows he need to wine and dine her and discover the truth. Hey, he realized the dating scenes can be deadly - but this is ridiculous!


I've read this book on September 2009, and I thought I post a review on this book but apparently I did not. This was probably one of the book that I delay writing review on, when I'm trying to read another books for either joint-reading or by myself. So I tend to forget about it once few days past by. Or I may have delay writing it because, I just didn't know how to start on reviewing it. Anyway, here is my review for Sex, Lies and Online Dating

My Thoughts:
It has been a little bit awhile since I last read the book, so I'm going to try to see what I remember of the book. I thought the idea for this story was clever! A cop and mystery writer going out on a date but both are "lying" about who they are, because they both are doing research on each other. She-for her writing novel and he-to hunt down serial killer. It started out to be interesting at first and I chuckle throughout their date at the Cafe but than when they were starting to get to "know" one another and having deep feeling, they continue their "lying". I understand the reason for it. I just thought that once they admit to themselves they had feeling with each other that they would have start being honest at that point. In somewhat way, I thought Lucy fallen for him so quickly. Just from that one meeting. And I felt that Quinn was more lusting after Lucy than just fallen in love with her. How could he? After all he thouht she was suspect in serial killer. Although there were some scenes between them that were steamy. Beside that problem, I did like the two characters. I chuckle over some funny scenes with them and even smiles few times. I like Lucy's friends and so glad that each will have their own stories.

Sorry, this is only thing I remember about the book. Over all, it was fun and witty. And for most part of the book, I did enjoy it :)

Grade: 4 stars

Black Hill by Nora Roberts
Review

First let me apology to Alice, from Hello, My Name is Alice (my joint-read buddy)for delaying the review. I've been sick for 2 weeks and writing review was just out of my mind, when I'm on a bed rest. But that should not be an excused to delay sending my three Q&A to her, so that she can post her review up at her blog before me. Sorry! :) As always I enjoy joint-reading Black Hills with you, Alice. And hope to do more joint-read with you in the future :)

A summer at his grandparents' South Dakota ranch is not eleven-year-old Cooper Sullivan's idea of a good time. But things are a bit more bearable now that he's discovered the neighbor girl, Lil Chance, and her homemade batting cage. Each year, with Coop's annual summer visit, their friendship deepens from innocent games to stolen kisses, but there is one shared experience that will forever haunt them: the terrifying discovery of a hiker's body.

As the seasons change and the years roll by, Lil remains steadfast to her aspiration of becoming a wildlife biologist and protecting her family land, while Coop struggles with his father's demand that he attend law school and join the family firm. Twelve years after they last walked together hand in hand, fate has brought them back to the Black Hills when the people and things they hold dear need them most....


Here is my Joint-Reading Q&A Review with Alice. Below is Alice's first three questions and than mine first three questions. I've add a mini review after my Q&A too. I've always enjoy joint-reading with Alice and hope to do more with her in later future. I want to thanks Alice for her patient to wait for me with these Q&A. Enjoy our reviews! P.S. Please forgive my none sense babbling answers *teeheee*.

Alice's Question 1
BLACK HILLS looks like an ordinary love story, but the presence of the serial killer that terrorizes Lil Chance, and Coop Sullivan’s return to his grandparent’s farm after many years, makes a good story—one that is suspenseful and satisfying. What do you think of it and what of the characters, Lil and Coop, and their romance?

~~ I have always love the childhood become best friend first and than lover later. One of my favorite theme I always love to read and look for when searching from "New to me authors". I love that we get to see them as kids and what their life was before growing up. I also like the point of view of Coop thoughts at the beginning. It was done in a way a young boy would reacted, funny, tough, sad and mad. You can feel his emotion and attitude as he take in what is happening on that one particular bad day. One of the thing that I think Nora Roberts does well with male POV, IMO. Their relationship was cut short when they grew apart because of an issues that Coop believe he did the right thing doing what he did, for both of them. But once they met again, when they confront their issues, I thought it was well done.
~~ The mystery were not suspenseful as it should but the violence on poor animals was a little hard to take. It kinda reminded me of Nora's Montana Sky, which happen to be one of my favorite of Nora.

Alice's Question 2
Nora Roberts researched Black Hills of South Dakota for her story, and included the respected war leader of the Oglala Dakota, Crazy Horse, as Lil is somewhat related to the bloodline. She also impart some knowledge about cougars and other big cats that are residing in the Chance Wildlife Reserve Lil has put so much effort in setting up. Is there any part of the story that you disliked or found too tedious? What do you like best about this particular book?

~~ The fact that these Wildlife animals/creature are held in a cages and not being free. But I understand that Lil want to protect them from harms that existed around the wild out there. She loves these animals as much as the animals love her back. You can tell by the way they interacted with one another. I love "Baby"!
~~ IMO, Nora have always been good at doing research of the many places for her story. And when she write it felt so real, as if I can really image myself actually being there. The place she told, is always fascinating. Even when I never been in the places before. With Black Hills I wasn't sure if I got that feel of the places well enough. But I felt I knew the people who existed in that place to over look that.

Alice's Question 3
Family support plays an important part to the development of the characters. Lil has a wonderful set of parents and stays in the farm at Black Hills. Coop is sent to his grandparents’ house in Black Hills for the summer as his parents go through divorce proceedings in the city, leaving him bitter. Lucky for him, he has a set of grandparents who care for him and patiently shape him into what he is as an adult. His relationship with Lil then grows from that of childhood friends to lovers. Do you think that the story is clichéd or too programmed? What are your thoughts about their family dynamics?

~~ I love how Nora write about family. Even family who taking in a stray/trouble child and make them as part of their family. As if s(he) one of their own child or sibling. And shape them into becoming a better person that they can be as adult. And learning about what family is all about. It one of my favorite thing Nora have done in past.
~~ I love Coop's grandparents from first 'meeting' and knew they will care for him and give him a better life. My grandparents was not around by the time I grew up, but what I remember of my grandparents, as young as I was, was that they kept their families together. And this is what I see in Coop's grandparent.

Julia's Questions 1:
Coop and Lil go their separate ways in their younger days. It is more of Coop’s idea of disappearing even though his intention is a good one. Lil is, of course, heartbroken. In your opinion, did he do the right thing?

~~ Without spoiling it, I think he did the right thing. Because Lil life weren't be where it is now. And it is the good life. I can understand his reason behind it but he could have handle it more better than the way he did. The way he handle the situation made it far worse. And Lil feeling was hurt too deep. It as if he have thought only about the decision for her best interest without thinking of Lil feeling. I can also understand that he had to make a tough, heart wrenching decision too. I can also understand Lil being upset as I would reacted the same way she did. Coops acted as if her feeling doesn't matter and that he can just get back into her life when ever he want to, as if nothing happen. I think of Lil as strong stable woman who can take care of herself in a way that Coop didn't realized. But than I also felt that Lil was too emotionally involved that she couldn't see the logical perspective decision in his part. Looking at his family background, you can see where his decision came from. And I'm glad that Coop had to work at trying to win her back. Both were too stubborn with pride.

Julia's Question 2:
There is also another interesting couple who are supporting characters in the story. Farley (a younger man) is interested in Tansy (an older woman) and they both work for Lil. Not only is there an age difference, they’re also both of different races. What do you think of this relationship?

~~ I love the secondary supporting couple and was rooting for them. I really don't mind the age/race different between them. They're in love and that what counted. I love that Farley is so sweet and pursuing Tansy until she given him a chance. The scene at the store were my favorite, the one with Farley, Lil in it. I chuckle through the whole thing.

Julia's Question 3:
What did you think about the cover art of Black Hills? Goes well with the story or not?

~~ I love the cover art of Black Hills and thought it does match the story inside. Most of the time when a cover art don't matched the story inside, it take me out of the reading and make me go "uh?". The cover art of Black Hills has an interesting picture, showing the beauty of Wildlife.

Mini Review:
I didn't think I would, but I did enjoy reading Black Hills, probably because the romance part of it. Yes the story did focus a lot on animals Wildlife Reserve and it's history but while the topic don't interested me much, the research are well done, the animals, the characters and their relationship kept me reading. These animals that are not consider as pet are kept for their protection and those that can be on their own are released back in the wild. Lil know the land and understand the hunt of wild life. She have studies it and protected them as it's her own kin. There is a hunter who prey to kill and won't stop until the hunter get what he want. The villain was not as suspense as it could be but it simple to feel sorry for the person. I did like the relationship between Coop and Lil, including all the other characters too. And I love the dialogue where Lil and Coop confront their past, as well. I thought this show at lease more focus in romance than the last two books Tribute and High Noon, which is what I like about it. My only complaint is that I felt the ending was a bit rushed, leaving some part unsaid. Would have love to read a couple more pages. Other than that, I like the book.

Grade: 4 stars

Heartsick by Chelsea Cain


Pub. Date: July 2008
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Format: Mass Market Paperback, 352pp

Portland detective Archie Sheridan spent years tracking Gretchen Lowell, a beautiful and brutal serial killer. In the end, she was the one who caught him...and tortured him..and then let him go. Why did Gretchen spare Archie's life and then turn herself in? This is the question that keeps him up all night - and the reason why he has visited Gretchen in prison every week since.

Meanwhile, another series of Portland murders has Archie working on a brand new task force...and heading straight into the line of fire. The local news is covering the case 24/7, and it's not long before Archie enters a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the killer-and his former captor. But this time, it's up to Archie to save himself....

OMG, what to say about this book? Words can not describe my exact feeling of the book. I fear if I do, I be babbling senseless and bored you to death. Anyone who know me, would know that if I like a book so much than it be so hard for me to write a review for it. I discover Chelsea Cain when I was visiting Katie from Babbling About Books, and Etc, who blog I checked for updated on daily basic. She posted the new cover art for Evil At Heart, the 3rd book to thriller of Gretchen Lowell Series and than wrote what the book is about and added her thought on it too. I was interested, so I visited Chelsea Cain's website to find out more about it. Later I brought the first two books of the series. Read Heartsick and got hooked. I of course share this info with my friend, Melody from Melody's Reading Corner, who jointed read this book with me (thanks Melody!) and she also hooked. Thanks to Katie, I weren't have discover this book! You can read Katie's reviews on the books here

Here we have a damaged tortured cop, Archie Sheridan who is asked to return to work after 2 years of recovering from a past injuries. Even though Archie is still fragile and weak, he became the lead detective of a new task force, a serial 'After School Strangler' case. Most of his former officers who had work with him from the 'Beauty Killer Task Force' case in the past were also reconvened to work on the new case as well. He used his medicines to survived and it keep him from being weak. It also kept his appearance alert from those who eyed him with concern. But his mind and heart never forget the psychopath serial killer, Gretchen Lowell who tortured him, killed him and mess with his mind. Why did he spare his life?

Archie is to lead the case on 'After School Strangler' under the condition that he allowed Susan Ward to follow him while he working on the case. Susan, a journalist for the Herald was assigned to write his story on the Beauty Killer Task Force case. It was the story that could win her a Pulitzer. Despite her past issues, she work hard to get where she want to be. No matter how bad it can get. But as she get closer to learning about Archie, she realized that he not what he seem to be.

As the young teenager girls murder continue and cop are working hours trying to catch the killer before the next victims is dead, in between the middle of all the chaos Archie, Susan and Gretchen had a twisted agendas in their own mind. And they use it to get what they want.

Heartsick is one of the story that is just not perfect but is sick and damaged to the soul and the heart. It's strange, twisted and psychopath crazy. Not the usual suspense I normally read. It different but in good way, the book is thrilling and promising GREAT! It really hard for me to put in words what I think of the book. Interesting stuff happen and it drawn me in, even when I don't want to be. It complex, graphically gruesome, intriguing, chilling, frighten and made my heart thump. But yet, it kept me turning the pages and wanting more. Even when my heart can't take it and my stomach felt ill. The characters are all remarkable interesting, that you will be glue to them as you see each players lives walked alive through the pages. THAT what kept me reading the book. The characters. Susan was a surprising character, that made me look at her in a different light. In good way. And I'm especially tempted to figure out what exactly kind of sick relationship is going on between Archie and Gretchen.

This book isn't for the weak of the heart, so this won't be for you. Otherwise read it at your own risk! Even though this isn't the normal thriller book I would read, I like this book a lot. I highly recommend the book for those who like thrilling suspense with spin of Hannibal Lecter mixed in.

Grade: 5 stars

weekend: Book

Sorry I have not been posting much. I've been delay posting some of my book reviews because I got sick over the week. Caught a cold head congestion. Plus my sisters came down South for visit for a week with us, and since than I have spent most of my time with them too. I've been busy. I try to read book laying in bed at night but the medicine made me to too drowsy to concentrate in reading. I only managed to check emails and than go to sleep. So I've also been reading less this week.

I did feel a little better today, but not quite. The weather change just seem predictable. One minute the sun was out and the humidity 90 and than the next minute it rain, become a little chilly and 76 humidity...etc. It crazy. So with a little good spirit today, I went to store to see what book is out this week...

They did stocked in a few new books this week but not many I like or want. But I did grab a copy of LuAnn McLane's He's No Prince Charming, available in mass market paperback. She is a "new to me author" although I do have a book or two of her book(s) in my TBR pile. I've heard good thing about her books :)

I hope everyone weekend was great one - Happy Reading!
