The WVMP Series

I just finished this book and I LOVED it!!! I highly recommend this "new" series!

The main character is a young kick ass woman, Ciara, who has a shady past. She's got an edge that reminds me of Betsy in the QB series. The main male character, Shane, is the tortured soul type, Really reminds me of Richard in the AB series. Oh and he is sooooooo friggin HOT! YOWSA!  The storyline is a little different and takes some real turns. Not your typical gal meets vampire and the HEA. I like that. The supporting characters are all very interesting and I'm really dying to get to know them better. The next book is Bad to the Bone, starting it today!!!!

Here is the "official" blurb:

Newbie marketing intern Ciara Griffin lands a job at WMMP, a station threatened with being sold to Skyware, a giant communications conglomerate, unless ad revenue picks up. A former con artist with a canny way with people, Ciara soon learns that the DJs are undead and specialists in the musical eras in which they were turned into vampires. One of them, Shane McAllister (turned in 1995), is really hot and dangerously tempting. In order to attract more listeners, Ciara promotes a new marketing strategy and the Sherwood, Md., station becomes 94.3 WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock and Roll, exploiting the fang factor (which no listener takes seriously) for profit. It works, until an ancient vampire cult wants to pull the plug. Also playing in is The Control, an equally ancient paramilitary group created to protect good vampires and kill bad ones. Smith-Ready's musical references are spot on, as is her take on corporate radio's creeping airwave hegemony. Add in the irrepressible Ciara, who grew up in a family of grifters, and the results rock.

The Executioner

Hey all! Started reading the Anita Blake series and I like it! I'd heard both pros and cons, but I figured I'd give it a try. For me, it works.

Book one takes a bit to get into it. The writing is first person POV so you're a bit lost until more things come together. Once you get into it the story begins to flow. And some of the characters are a hoot! The author takes chances, bully for her.

I like that fact the the main character is a women that isn't prissy and can take care of herself. I love tuff chicks! Anita isn't a supernatural being with super human powers, that also refreshing.  She's young and there is room for personal growth. I also like seeing a character that matures over time. She morphing with her experiences, just like we all do.

So far I'm only at book 4, there are 17 in the series to date...I'll let you know what I think after a few more.

Later loves,

The Midnight Breed Boys..

Oh ladies do I have some new cuties for you!!!! Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series! If you love BDB you will love the Breed hunks. The WARDen is a big supporter of this series.

I know you will fall for Lucan, Gideon, Rio, Dante and Tagen..maybe Sterling too...


I really didn't expect to like them as much as I do. They aren't quite BDB, but they are a really enjoyable ride....may require some panty liner changes too:)

New vamps....

Ah, new vamps in my life! I started reading Black Dagger Brotherhood and I'm in love! yes, in love, lust, whatever....with at least 5 sexy alpha male vamps.

My top two are Wrath & Vishous. Oh my!! These boys are larger than life, in soo many ways:) I bow to J.R. Ward, my Virgin Scribe, the creator of the BDB world. I worship her. I hope she never stops writing about these boys.
