In Death Series by JD Robb

I just started reading the "In Death Series" by JD Robb aka Nora Roberts. I bought the first two years ago and started the the first one I got about 2 chapters into it and it wasn't grabbing my attention. I recently decided to give them another try and I am enjoying them this time around.

Naked In Death ~ C+
The first book Lt. Eve Dallas (police detective) meets Roarke (billionaire) for the first time at a funeral he is a suspect in a case of the murder of the high class call girl. The book introduces a lot of the characters that are reoccurring in the series Mavis, Feeney, Nadine & Summerset. She eventually solves the case while falling for Roarke in the process. The book to me was just an average book, but I still wanted to see what happens next.

Glory In Death ~ B-
In the 2nd book Eve is investigating a series of murders of successful career woman. We see on going relationship of Eve and Roarke at the end of the book he proposes. We also meet Delia Peabody a police officer who becomes one of the major characters in the series(so far my favorite character). I really started to get into the books and really want to know what happens to the characters.

Immortal In Death ~ B+
The book is about series of murders that are all connected even though the method of death is different in each one they a revolve a drug called immortality. Mavis ends up being the main suspect, so Eve works extra hard to clear her. We get the answer to Roarke's marriage proposal and the wedding plans the book ends with Eve and Roarke's wedding. This one is my favorite of the ones I read so far.

Rapture In Death ~ B-
The book opens with Eve and Roarke on their honeymoon, Their is an apparent suicide at Roarke new space resort that is being built. After Eve and Roarke get home their is another suicide and in the process she finds out about another one that happened when she was on her honeymoon. Eve is unsettled by the 3 suicides so close together; the ME ends up finding little burn marks on the victims. In their personal life Eve and Roarke are adjusting to married life.

I am enjoying the series so far for me it started out slow but I plan on continuing reading the rest of the series with some breaks with other books in between. I love the characters and their interactions. One of the things that surprised me was how fast Eve and Roarke got married I kinda thought that would drag out over the series for awhile but it didn't bother me.

Marliss Melton ~ Too Far Gone ~ B-

The hero Sean Harlan & heroine Ellie Stuart met in the last book when she bought the hero of that books son to him who she was raising. When Ellie's sons are kidnapped she contacts Sean to help her find them. The police think that Ellie and or Sean are the main suspects in the kidnapping. So they set off on their own adventure following any leads they can to locate her children. The book also has a subplot featuring an undercover FBI agent and a rich heiress. I liked the book for the most part only a few minor concerns for me but still a very well written good book.

Jean Johnson ~ The Flame ~ B+

I love the Sons of Destiny Books they are has quickly becoming one of my favorite series. This book is about the seventh brother Koranen(a fire mage) and Danau (aquamancer). Danau and 3 other aquamancers come the Nightfall to study the islands permanent magical water source. Koranen then has to figure out which one is his destined mate. The book is filled with laugh out loud moments and good written story maybe a little slow at times. I really really didn't like the cover of the book it doesn't fit in with the rest of them and I usually don't care about covers. I love the whole cast of characters in the books and can't wait for the 8th book. If you haven't read any of the series you should definitely given them a try.

My Latest Reads All Paranormal!

Listed in Order in enjoyed them:
Sherilyn Kenyon ~ One Silent Night ~ Grade: A+
I am one the people who still likes almost all of Ms. Kenyon's Dark Hunter books. This book is about Stryker leader of the Daimons and Zephrya his ex-wife. The main plot of the book is Stryker lets loose an ancient evil named War to kill Ash and Nick, Artemis finds out and sends Zephrya out to kill Stryker. This book as a lot of new information about the DH world and some major changes in it. I liked that the villains got a HEA, which often doesn't happen and I found it interesting to read. In her world the theme I like about them is almost everyone as good and bad in them and not every thing is black and white. The book is little on the short side(not as short as Upon a Midnight Clear which was one the books in the series I haven't liked), but I still good read especially if your a die hard Dark Hunter fan.

Kerrelyn Sparks ~ All I Want For Christmas is a Vampire ~ Grade: A
I really like Ms. Sparks Love at Stake series, this one had me enjoying the book right at the beginning and pulled right back into her world. This book is about Ian Macphie and Toni Davis. Ian has been one of my favorite character in past books. The plot is Toni's roommate gets attacked by Vampire and is placed in a Mental Institution so Toni sets out to prove that vampires are real and in process ends up getting attacked by the evil vampires. The good vampires save her and end up offering her a job at their security company, where she meets Ian who is own mission to meet his one true love. The book was funny and I really liked it.

Robin T. Popp ~ The Haunting ~ Grade: B+
The is the 7th installment of the Immortals series. I have read all of them and for the most part enjoyed them. This one is about Mai a wood nymph and Nick a spirit walker. Mai is having some issue since the final battle in book book 4, she is having some bad dreams and hallucinations, she seeks out Nick to help her with her dreams after a interesting 1st encounter she contacts him to help find her missing neighbor.

Allyson James ~ The Dragon Master ~ Grade: B
This is the 3rd book in her dragon series. The heroine is Carol Juan and the hero is Seth a Red Fire dragon. We met Carol in the first two books, she is a serious and determined person who doesn't believe in dragons. She is actually a Dragon Master and can call any dragon to her which is how she meets Seth(who isn't happy about being pulled out of dragon space). I thought this book was pretty good but not my favorite in the series.

Christine Warren ~ One Bite with a Stranger ~ Grade: B-
This is actually a reissue expanded version of her 1st Other Book, which was E-book through Ellora's Cave. The heroine Regina and her friends are trying to make their fantasy come true, Regina is not as open as this than her girlfriends but reluctantly agrees to her finds planing her fantasy which includes a vampire to sleep with if. She ends up going to club where she suppose to meet the "vampire" her friends knows but ends up meeting Misha a real vampire instead. This book was OK I really don't like the original plot device so after that it was hard for me to warm up to the book after that.

Jaci Burton ~ The Darkest Touch ~ Grade: C+
This is the 3rd book in the demon hunting series. The book is about Angelique an archaeologist and Ryder a demon hunter. The is also a subplot featuring Angelique's twin Isabelle and Dalton another Demon hunter. I had hard time remembering the last book in the series so it took me a little while to remember the past characters and some off the setup for this book. I thought is was an okay book to me wasn't a great book but wasn't an awful book.
