Now, I swear it hasn't all been vampires and other supernatural characters since my last post on this blog in July '09, although doing a quick check (New Moon movie, Being Human Series 2, Strange Angels, Reformed Vampire Support Group, re-read of Harry Potter and Eclipse...) , creatures of the night do still feature quite prominently! <br />Back to Evernight: I was finding this book, its characters and narration very enjoyable without anything hugely ground breaking occurring. Then 'the twist' was revealed - which I did not pick at all despite knowing there was one coming - and the whole story lifted a notch. I had to go back and re-read earlier chapters once I knew 'the truth'! Great fun. Also liked some well-written steamy scenes. Looking forward to the next instalment with Stargazer.Placeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698156183605405173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872511076454850581.post-17034830540766774732009-07-21T20:44:47.631-07:002009-07-21T20:44:47.631-07:00I think if I read or watch one more vampire thing ...I think if I read or watch one more vampire thing my husband will cease sleeping for fear that I may drink his blood. <br />I shall pop these on my list and perhaps I can get away with reading them once the 'Being Human' series finishes (ABC2 Friday nights for any of you vampire/ werewolf fans!!)Placeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698156183605405173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872511076454850581.post-87423800702339733972009-07-14T20:33:39.650-07:002009-07-14T20:33:39.650-07:00Human blood is deeply wired into our primitive sou...Human blood is deeply wired into our primitive souls. Blood fascinates us and horrifies us. <br /><br />I watched the movie the Wrestler last night and the blood that spewed from Mickey played an important psychological role in the story.<br /><br />A vampire tale is the ultimate blood story.Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007035018960992565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872511076454850581.post-13031080617074215872009-07-13T04:17:52.132-07:002009-07-13T04:17:52.132-07:00Haven't heard of her before now, but have just...Haven't heard of her before now, but have just added her to my wishlist, even before I wrote this comment! ;-)joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952558113054391317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872511076454850581.post-61109921789572000112009-07-12T18:00:24.146-07:002009-07-12T18:00:24.146-07:00i love this series and think it far surpasses &quo...i love this series and think it far surpasses "twilight" in terms of story-telling . . . glad to see that other people are loving these books also!!alaska.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03945714697876569570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872511076454850581.post-29338196610000883662009-07-11T03:17:44.428-07:002009-07-11T03:17:44.428-07:00Sounds hot Paula.
