Burned

Summary: Y’all need to get yourselves together. Here’s a newsflash from the only High Priestess you have left at this dang school: Zoey isn’t dead. And believe me, I know dead. I’ve been there, done that and got the fricken tee-shirt.

Zoey Redbird is the youngest High Priestess in House of Night history and is the only person – vamp or fledgling – that can stop the evil Neferet from raising all kinds of immortal trouble. And she might just have a chance if she wasn’t so busy being dead.

Well, dead is too strong a word. Stevie Rae knows she can bring her BFF back from her unscheduled va-cay in the Otherworld. But it’s going to take a lot more than hoping to bring Zoey back. Stevie Rae will have to give up a few secrets of her own . . .


What I thought: Well this book was really good. I did seem to be missing something that the other books in the series had tho. I loved Stevie Rae in the other books but I didn't really care for her as much. She seems to be making decisions that are going to make things worse for Zoey. Damien, Jack, Erin and Shawnee seemed to take a backseat to Stark, Aphrodite, and Darius. I love Stark and seeing him grow up in this book! He is amazing!

Hunting Ground

Summary: Mated to werewolf Charles Cornick, the son -and enforcer -of the leader of the North American werewolves, Anna Latham now knows how dangerous being a werewolf is, especially when a werewolf opposes Charles and his father is struck down. Charles's reputation makes him the prime suspect, and the penalty for the crime is execution. Now Anna and Charles must combine their talents to hunt down the real killer -or Charles will take the fall.


What I thought: I really have loved watching Anna grow and become more confident in herself. She is starting to realize she doesn't have to be afraid.

Cry Wolf

Summary: Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.


What I thought: I really loved this book. From what I have read Patricia Briggs can do no wrong. I have like everything by her I have read!!!! I loved Anna and Charles kind of scared me which is what he does. I liked how he let her do what she needed to do and didn't feel like he had to protect her every step of the way.

Bone Crossed

Summary: By day, Mercy is a car mechanic in the sprawling Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shapeshifter with some unique talents, Mercy has often found herself
having to maintain a tenuous harmony between the human and the not so
human. This time she may get more than she bargained for.


Marsilia, the local Vampire Queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clan—and she's out for blood. But since
Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her
close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won't be Mercy's blood
Marsilia is after.


It'll be her friends'.


What I thought: WOW what can I say. I love this series and I can't wait for the library to get the next one back in. I really want to know what happens next. I love the Adam and Mercy relationship and watching it grow as they both heal. I love that Mercy doesn't run to Adam every time something happens and only goes to Adam when she can't handle it on her own. I love that Adam doesn't get mad (or at least he doesn't stay mad).

Iron Kissed

Summary: When her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot behind bars by his own kind, it's up to shapeshifting car mechanic Mercy Thompson to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not. And she'll have to choose between the two werewolves in her life-whether she wants to or not.


What I thought: Once again Patricia Briggs did not disappoint. I really think Adam is the best choice for Mercy. I don't think Sam would let her do what she needs to do. I think he would put her in a plastic bubble if he could. I really think Adam likes that she can do stuff on her own without going to him for every little thing. And believe me Mercy gets herself into some mischief in this book

Blood Bound

Summary: Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places-and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shapeshift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind.

But this new vampire is hardly ordinary-and neither is the demon inside of him.


What I thought: Well I have to say that this is starting to be one of my favorite series. I love Mercy and her independent attitude. You don't seem to get that anymore in books. All the girls seem to need a guy to take care of them for every little thing. I love how Mercy tries to deal with herself then if she can't she goes to someone else and the times she needs help are times that even Adam needs help dealing with it.

Dead in the Family

Summary: Sookie Stackhouse has finally settled into a relationship with the Viking vampire Eric, and her errant brother Jason seems to have his life in order, too. But all the other people in Sookie’s life – Eric
himself, her former lover Bill, her friend and boss Sam – are having
family problems. Eric’s maker shows up with Eric’s ‘brother’ in tow, the
ailing Bill can only be healed by a blood sibling, and Sam’s brother’s
marriage is about to take place... or will it? The furor raised by the
coming out of the two-natured has yet to settle; some people are just
not ready to sit down to dinner with a man who turns into a dog. And
Sookie herself is still recovering from her last ordeal. She’s
definitely improving, physically and mentally, but she’s always going to
have some dark moments now. The werewolves tell her that there have
been strange and ominous passers-by in the Stackhouse woods; now Sookie
is about to come face-to-face with one of her more distant relatives...


What I thought: Well I wanted to think about this book before I figured out what I thought. I really enjoyed this book except the ending. I felt like there was a huge build up then the last couple pages were rushed. I love this series so I just hope this was a build up book for the next one. I do have to say that I think she is setting it up to go in a different direction then the vampires. I don't know if she is going to make the wolves a bigger part or go some other way. I have to say that I hope she doesn't put her back with Alcide.
