In a world where being
of mixed-blood is a major liability, Sabina Kane has the only profession
fit for an outcast: assassin. But, her latest mission threatens the
fragile peace between the vampire and mage races and Sabina must
scramble to figure out which side she's on.This is one of my favourite urban fantasy series. We have a snarky half vampire half mage assassin, vampires, mages, fae and other creatures. We also have the humour of Giguhl, a shopping channel addicted demon sidekick who is mostly trapped inside the body of a hairless cat, and his friend who is a drag queen singer facing an identity crisis. I loved the characters, the action and the humour and it kept up a great standard right through the series.
The link here is another good urban fantasy book that features a drag queen character that I totally loved. The characters in this series were really good and I liked the addition of the experiments on vampires leaving them with health issues to deal with.
Arya Stark continues her Faceless Men training and has to adapt to being rendered blind, while Jon Snow has to face mutiny at The Wall. This second part of A Dance With Dragons was a really great story which is why we are so desperate for the release of The Winds Of Winter which never seems to be getting any nearer!
Todd
wants to spend Christmas with his son. But when a brutal
snowstorm cancels his flight, Todd and other stranded passengers rent a
Jeep and make the trip. They pick up a man who claims to be searching
for his lost daughter. He
is disoriented and his story seems peculiar. Strangest of all are
slashes cut into the back of his coat, straight to
the flesh. When they arrive at the nearest town, it appears
deserted. Todd and the rest of the travelers soon learn the town is far
from
deserted, and that they are being watched…
Double link here with the winter setting on the cover and of course the title linking nicely to the character of Jon Snow in the previous book. This is a horror author I haven't yet tried and the cover and blurb makes me really want to read this book.
I decided to go for another cover with that startling combination of that red blood on the pure white snow, a cover that will always catch my eye in the horror genre.
A straightforward link this time with the names of the authors. I've actually read quite a few Michael Crichton books over the years but mostly before I joined Goodreads so I haven't written reviews of most of them. I never kept notes of books I read and I no longer have most of his books other than the Jurassic Park ones now so I can't write any reviews now!
So there we are, Redhead by the side of the road to Airframe!
