AT THE CROSSROADS OF DEATH AND DESIRE, A WOMAN TASTES A PLEASURE NO MORTAL IS MEANT TO SURVIVE.
In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand—and control—a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal . . . and arouse.
As she recovers under Brock’s care, Jenna finds herself drawn to the Order’s mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life and stronger than death itself—until a secret from Brock’s past and Jenna’s own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the ultimate trial by fire.

The Good: Loved Brock and Jenna with passion. Great characters and the plot was very well constructed. Loved how the Breed Mates are so involved and active! Kick-Ass! =D
The Bad: Brock was pretty much a background character for a while, so it took me a while to care for him.
The Romance: Quite the steamy affair Jenna and Brock have, very enjoyable!

Out NOW! | Coming on January, 2012!
With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. But Sookie suspects otherwise and she and Sam work together to uncover the culprit - and the twisted motive for the attack. But her attention is divided. Though she can't 'read' vampires, Sookie knows her lover Eric Northman and his 'child' Pam well - and she realises that they are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, she is drawn into the plot -which is much more complicated than she knows. Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, Sookie will learn that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human - and that there is a new Queen on the board . . .

The Good: Fun and it fits like your favorite shirt would. =)
The Bad: While I was reading it, someone asked me what I was thinking of it, I said: “not sure... it feels like an old shirt you have always loved. It is comfortable and you can't help but wear it, but it's far from effective =/”
That’s exactly how it felt for me. I think it’s time to wrap this series up, though I have to say that I will miss this world and characters dearly!
The Romance: Knowing Eric is not Sookie’s HEA, takes some of the fun out, but he is still awesome!

I still need to read Brock and Jenna yet, and can't wait to read Hunter's book. This is one of my fave series of all time.
I know I am a bit bummed that Eric won't be her HEA . But I love this series anyway :)
: “not sure... it feels like an old shirt you have always loved. It is comfortable and you can't help but wear it, but it's far from effective =/”
Exactly how I feel too :/ And therefore I will just not read any more. The last few were just meh. Oh and I want her and Eric together *sits and sulks*
