Danse Macabre (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #14) By: Laurell K. Hamilton (Book Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary:      These days, Anita Blake is less interested in vampire politics than in an ancient, ordinary dread she shares with women down the ages: she may be pregnant. And, if she is, whether the father is a vampire, a werewolf, or someone else entirely, he knows perfectly well that being a Federal Marshal known for raising the dead and being a vampire executioner, is no way to bring up a baby. I'm on the fence with this book. I'm not sure if I like it or if I hate it. There was some type of plot. Was it well executed? Definitely, not. Was there a lot of sex scenes? Yeah, but again it's like Hamilton is using sex scenes to fill the book. By that I mean, it seems like she's trying to meet a page quota so she's just putting in a ton of sex scenes to meet it. It seems like whenever we're progressing in the story she drops a sex scene. I'm not sure if it's because she's not sure what to do next to get the plot g...

 Product Summary: A botanically-infused and fiber filled formula, this mascara will give your lashes instant energy thanks to caffeine and biotin. Lifting the sleepiest of lashes and conditioning with arginine, this black mascara gives perkier volume, curl and care all day.  How to use: The curved brush will hug all the way around your lash line. To enhance the lifting effect, carefully rotate the brush backwards on itself when you reach the tips of your lashes to encourage curl. Cost:$19 I ended up receiving this item in a Ipsy glam bag which is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get 5 items from sample to full size for around 20$ Canadian.

At first, I thought it was allergies but my eyes shouldn't be watering for 8+ hours a day. I realized it was the mascara the culprit when...

True Blood |Season 2 Episode 10: New World In My View (Review)

Image
*This review will contain spoilers* Opening scene: Sookie dreams of going to Eric right after Godric passes away. They get all hot and heavy. Right when he is about to bite her she wakes up. As I previously mentioned in the past review, it goes to show the effects of what vampire blood can do.  I genuinely loved this episode and laughed quite a bit. This episode wasn't overly packed with events. It was more of one of those episodes that tend to set up the end of the season.  Jason once again surprises me when he takes charge and goes out to see what is going on in Bon Temps and he makes it his mission to stop it. I think it was genius of him to pretend to be the 'god who comes' to save Sam from the crazy townspeople. I like that his character is being utilized a lot more instead of the ex jock/ horny douchebag. I would love to see him as some type of law enforcement figure. I think he would honestly excel at that, especially, since he's fast on his feet and is resourcef...
