Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed book 1)

by Lara Adrian.

A new author and vampire series to try out. I got 3 for 2 credits and thought I'd give them a try. The first in the series follows Lucan, a GenOne (generation one) vampire who founded a group of warriors who hunt the Rogue vampires that have given in to blood lust. He himself is fighting blood lust constantly and trying to hide that from his brothers.

Then he meets Gabrielle who is marked as a Breed Mate (if he drinks her blood he binds her to him forever). She gets tangled into his world unknowingly and eventually he brings her under his protection with the truth.

Overall I really enjoyed the book. A few new twists on Vampire lore and some new 'history', like vampires are born from human mothers with vampire fathers. The group of warriors includes a few that are already blood bonded and a few others that will have their own stories that I'm looking forward to in the next few books. I will definitely continue with this series for a while!

Ten Things I Love About You

by Julia Quinn.

This is a victorian romance from a new author I thought I'd try out. It was a good book in general, not a Lisa Kleypas grab ya type but still good and enjoyable.

Annabel is planning to marry an Earl to save her 8 brothers and sisters financially however she's fallen for Sebastian, the Earl's hated nephew. A little love triangle and some funny scenes make for an interesting story set in Victorian England. Sebastian is also secretly a writer (writes under a female pseudonym).

Enjoyable, not sure I'm going to go looking for more but maybe, especially if there are familiar characters in them.
