I have to quit buying books because of the covers. I like fun, cutsie animated covers almost as much as I enjoy hunky scarcley clad men covers, that's why I picked up this book. Because it's kinda cutsie. And the description on the back is ok. And as I started it I was like "ok, this is just the start, it'll get better. something has to happen!" Well the sex didn't start til way after the 100th page and it took even longer for the bad guy to show up, and there wasn't much mystery or suspense, or even passion (in my opinion). If that hasn't deterred your interest then let me tell you what its about. A 700 year old witch, going by the name Jazz (eww) runs into her on-off-again boy-toy who is a vampire. Shes mad at him, they make up and try to solve the mystery of why vamps are disappearing. They find out why, stop the bad guys, and grow closer as a couple. Hell, now you dont even have to read it. Cause that's 361 pages boiled down to a few sentences. OK, so maybe I'm making it worse than it was. It just didn't appeal to me. Maybe I'm too distracted with other crap. If you're interested let me know and I'll bring it to next book club.Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Ouch! I think Betty was reading that one and told me about it and said that it looked like one you read because of the cover and the name...
I am half way done with the new Sookie! I'll blog probably Friday about it, since I have to work tomorrow.
Let me just start off with by saying "Amen sister!" to Rachel. If there was one thing that I can say I learned from this book is don't judge a book by it's cover. It started okay and then I found myself wondering "Hey, when is all the good stuff going to happen?" and then I began to wonder "Was there prequel to this book that I missed?". No. No prequel. No juicy sex for what seems like an eternaty. Not even a really, really good story to distract you. I'd give this one vang down.
