All Good Things Must End Someday....

Hello! I've been gone for way too long. I have some really good excuses, though. I haven't been reading much. How could this be, you say? Summer reading is a treat all on it's own that comes once a year.... 


Well first, my mom fell down the stairs and broke her back. No, literally. She was sleep walking and fell down the stairs. It's been a long summer road to recovery, but she is getting there. I've had my hands full with helping her. 


Second, I've been searching for jobs like nobody's business. Many hours...and I mean many hours per day have been spent this summer searching jobs, applying, and going on interviews.



Finally, I did get hired and started about a month and a half ago. Yay, me! But starting a new job, moving to a new apartment, in a new area, doesn't leave a ton of time for reading. In fact, I've been tearing through the Netflix Series of One Tree Hill for the last month, trying to finish all the seasons. 


(If you're wondering I'm stopping after season 6 because Lucas and Peyton are not involved and it's just not the same) 



Phew, that's a lot of stuff! The good news is that now I am finally on my feet, I can catch up on all the reading and TV shows I've been missing!


First up, 



Nalini Singh Guild Hunter's Series 

Because this time, it's not a wayward vamp she has to track. It's an archangel gone bad. 

The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other—and pull her to the razor's edge of passion. Even if the hunt does not destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just might. For when archangels play, mortals break

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she is the best- but she does not know if even she is good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, Elena knows failure is not an option—even if the task is impossible. 





I've put off this series for a long, long time. Mostly because I thought I'd reached my fill when it came to paranormal romances.  BUT, I will say these  books are pretty good. Don't be put off by the cheesy sounding summary. If you want a good paranormal romance, this is it. Ms. Singh pulls off romance and practicality (if that's possible).  The romance part is as far from cheesy as can be, which is always a good thing. There are never any over the top things happening, where the hero kills his love interest's family by ripping their intestines out and she still loves him.  And you're thinking WHY? Why am I wasting my time on this. These books are not like that. Give them a shot! 

Anywho, as I make my way through this series, trying to stay off netflix (it's really my biggest competitor to books),  I am really excited for some future upcoming books. I'm going to post them soon.
