He heard the noise again, the thumping slither, and now it was close.  There was another sound too, behind the slither, a soft, constant whispering.

My Review: City of Bones

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

From Goodreads

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

My rating: 

I so enjoyed reading this book! You just don't want to put it down, totally keeps you right at the edge of your seat! The book has everything in it, vampires, werewolves and fairies. The characters are fun, exciting and memorable. Clare writes some really vivid details that will help you conjure up a great mental image to help you understand the characters. There is a twist at the end of this book, so when you finish you want to pick up book 2 City of Ashes.

Follow Friday #6

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee View.

This week's question is:

 Do you have anyone that you can discuss books with IRL? Tell us about him/her.

 I really don't have anyone in person to talk books about.  Most of my friends think I'm crazy beacause I read so much.  I talk books with my friends on the computer that I have met through different book clubs/blogs.  Sometime my DIL and I will read a book that we share in common and we can talk about it.

Please leave a comment and follow I will follow back.

My Review: Fang Me

Fang Me by Parker Blue

From Goodreads

The vampires want it. The demons want it, too. And someone is willing to kill Val for it.Val and Fang have to find the powerful Encyclopedia Magicka before either of San Antonio's warring underworld factions locate it or the consequences will be deadly for the entire city. As usual, Val's vampire enemies (they still call her The Slayer) want her dead. Even some of her fellow demons may be less than trustworthy, since they'd like to grab the legendary book of spells before she does. Val has a personal claim to the Encyclopedia--her demon father left it to her when he died--but someone stole it recently. And that can't be good.Battling vamps and dodging demons, Val struggles to unravel the mystery and find the thief. At the same time, she's fighting her attraction to sweet, sexy Shade--her favorite shadow demon. Rumor has it that Val will lose her part-demon, vampire-fighting powers if she gives herself to him.With a crowd of vamps and demons out to trick her or kill her, it's not a good time for her to risk her job as the city's best vampire hunter by falling in love. The stakes are high and aimed right at her heart. But Lola, Val's hungry little lust demon, doesn't like being denied. Will Lola finally get her way?What's a part-lust-demon-teen supposed to do? Whatever it takes.

My rating: 

Fang Me is the third book in the Demon Underground Series. Just like Bite Me and Try Me this book will not disappoint you. There is lots of action in this novel you have to keep turning the pages to find out what happens next. There is going to be another book in the Demon Underground series being released in 2012. I enjoyed this series and I really like Val’s dog Fang.

My Review: Try Me

Try Me by Parker Blue

From Goodreads

This part-demon teen vampire fighter and her faithful terrier hellhound are once again patrolling the dark city streets of San Antonio, Texas. Val's hunky human partner, Detective Dan Sullivan, is giving her the cold shoulder since she beheaded his vampire ex-fiancée. Vamp leader Alejandro is struggling to keep the peace between vamps, demons and humans. The mucho powerful Encyclopedia Magicka has been stolen, someone in the Demon Underground is poisoning vamps, and Val's inner lust demon, Lola, is getting very restless since Val's now partnered with sexy Shade, the shadow demon with the blond good looks of an angel.

My rating:  

Try Me is the second book in the Demon Underground series and it will not disappoint you. Try Me picks up right where Bite Me left off. We are introduced to some new characters and get to see more of the Demon Underground world. I really like this book it is a fun read.

I received this book from Netgalley for review.
