Subject: [ArmchairReaders2] Books read in September
I can't believe a new month has begun. I did enjoy most of my reads in
September. I did finally run across a book I just could not make myself
finish
by Greg Iles. Well, it had to happen eventually. Here are the ones I did
manage to finish and enjoy reading.
September:
1. ShelterMountain, Robyn Carr – contemporary fiction, romance, chick lit.
This is the 2nd in the Virgin River series. A woman running from her
violently
abusive husbands stumbles into the town of Virgin River. There she finds
herself, friends, support and protection. A very endearing series. Rating:
4/5, an audio book, 9/1/11.
2. Kissing Sin, Keri Arthur – paranormal fiction. This is a surprisingly
erotic series that I’m coming to enjoy with each installment. In this
continuation, Riley is begrudgingly being forced to join the Guardians.
Subsequent kidnaps of herself and brother and later learning that some
non-humans were being used as lab rats for cloning experiments, Riley decides
to
do all that is necessary to bring this abuse to an end. Alone the way, her
were
nature of enjoying sex has added complications when her genes, skills, and
sexual prowess has gathered the attention of many. Rating: 5/5, an e-book,
9/2/11.
3. Tempting Evil, Keri Arthur – paranormal suspense, fiction. Riley Jenkins
has completed a rushed training program for the Guardians. She is now
joining
her brother in a covert operation to bring down the persons responsible for
setting up and operating the cloning research labs. This series gets better
and
better as I go along. This is the 3rd in the series. This girls private
life
provided many a twitching moments, lol. Rating: 5/5, an ebook, 9/3/11
4. Dangeroous Games. Keri Arthur – paranormal mystery, suspense, romance,
urban
fantasy. My Riley Jensen marathon continues with this 4th book in the
series.
Iy appears that rogue baby vampires are on the lose and in a feeding frenzy
in
Riley’s city. She and her brother, Rhoan, are assitgned to put it to an end.
In the process of resolving this case Riley runs into her archenemy, Gautier,
who is still determined to make her suffer before he takes her life. She
also
makes some interesting discoveries regarding her lovers. Rating: 5/5, an
e-book, 9/5/11.
5. The Body Farm, Patricia Cornwell, crime, suspense, contemporary fiction.
Kay
Scarpetta is called to North Carolina to investigate the death of a young
girl.
It is alleged she is a victim of a serial killer that had recently struck in
Virginia. Also, while in training, Kay’s niece is accused of violating the
secure room and obtaining files from the FBI. Kay now finds she must split
her
time to solve both cases. Rating: 4/5, an audio book.
6. Embraced by Darkness, Keri Arthur – suspense, paranormal mystery, romance,
urban fantasy. IMO, this series gets better with each novel. Though
ostracized
and threatened from her pack for being a half-breed, Riley and her twin Rhoan
are needed to investigate the disappearance of the new pack leader’s
granddaughter. Meanwhile, both have been assigned by the Directorate to find
a
serial killer. In the romance department both have to make a decision
regarding
commitment to their current lovers. Rating: 6/5, an e-book, 9/7/11.
7. Interlude in Death, J.D. Robb – mystery, crime, urban fantasy, sci-fi.
Eve
is asked to speak at a cop convention off planet. A murder occurs and one of
the commanders is trying to point the finger in Roarke’s direction.
Naturally
Eve won’t let anyone “mess with” her man, so the game is on. Rating: 5/5,
an
audio book, 9/8/11
8. The Darkest Kiss, Keri Arthur – paranormal romance, mystery, suspense,
urban
fantasy. Vengeance is the theme of the two subplots within. It seems an
evil
force has been dismembering both humans and nonhumans. Riley Jensen and her
guardian mates venture into more life-threatening cases. In the romance
department, though still suffering from a broken heart thanks to Kellen,
things
are beginning to show possibilities. Rhoan also has to come to terms with his
soulmate, Liander. I’m still loving this series. Rating: 5/5, an e-book,
9/9/11.
9. Deadly Desire, Keri Arthur – paranormal romance, mystery, suspense. Again,
Riley and her guardian mates are called to investigate the violent murders of
human teenagers and wealthy vampires of whom a couple were close friends to
her

heat” upon her she is fighting the urge to “dance” with some men from her
past.
Rating: 5/5, an e-book, 9/10/11.
10. Bound in Shadows, Keri Arthur – paranormal romance, mystery, suspense,
horror. What a story. It has been a long time since I teared while reading a
novel. Riley has to come to terms with her wolf soulmate. The soulmate
she’d
been waiting all of her life for. Ironically, she despises this mate. It
appears he is following her investigation of the beheading of members of the
vampire council. She’s wondering why. She also runs across a new entity, a
mirror wraith. There was a lot of gore in this one. Rating: 5/5, an
e-book,
9/11/11.

landlord
of the apartment building next door. Rating: 4/5, an audio book and e-book.

I
absolutely LOVED this novel. I was on an emotional roller coaster. It has
been
awhile since a novel made me get a hanky. This had it all for me. Rating:
