Second Chances Pay Off

I was pleasantly surprised by Kate Mosse's novel, Sepulchre. I had read her previous novel, Labyrinth and found it very difficult to get through. While this book took me a while to read, I found it to be a much, much better story. I think the reason it took me so long to read was because I haven't had a whole lot of time to read lately. My new job takes up a lot of my time, so reading has taken a back seat. It's okay, I'd rather have a job than not! Now, this book is definitely not for everyone. It is a little strange, but strange is usually just my cup of tea. Everything doesn't wrap up all nice and pretty, but that's pretty true to life. People make sacrifices to help the ones they love. While the circumstances are fantastic and certainly not true to life, the sacrifices are still real enough. Now I'm reading something even more different, The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance 2. I hope the stories in this one are better than the first one, although, I have a feeling this book will join the "To Sell on Ebay" pile.

Angels Among Us

I finished The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz today. The power went out today, so I found some natural light and finished my book. It was as good as the rest of the series has been. I love this particular concept of vampires more than most. I think the fallen angel angle is very interesting. When the ultimate evil your characters are fighting is Lucifer himself, it makes things very interesting. I love how there can be so many different ways to shape one kind of mythical being.

Next book in "The Stack" is Sepulchre by Kate Mosse. It's quite a long book, so this might take awhile!
