Mistral's Kiss (Merry Gentry #5) By: Laurell K. Hamilton (Book Review)

Image
***Please be warned that there will be spoilers*** Summary: I am Princess Meredith, trapped in the kingdom of faerie, compelled to conceive a child, an heir to the throne, by engaging some of the realm's most beautiful men. Now Mistral, Queen Andais's new captain of the guard, has risked the Queen's jealous wrath to come to my bed. Our joining has reawakened old magic, mystical power so ancient that no one stands against it and lives...not even my strongest and most favored: my Darkness and my Killing Frost. Not even Mistral himself, my Storm Lord. But because Mistral has helped to bring this magic forth, he may live another day. If I can reclaim control of the fey power that once was, there may be hope for me and my reign in faerie. I might yet quell the dark schemes and subterfuges surrounding me. Though shadows of obsession and conspiracy gather, I may survive.  I'm confused by who wrote and edited this book because the first half was so not the Laurell...

True Blood Season 2 | Episode 1: Nothing But The Blood (Review)

Image
(((There will be spoilers included in this review))) Starting season 2 with a grotesque murder, welcome back to Bon Temps! Luckily, the person that was murdered with their heart ripped out stuffed in Andy's car is none other than Miss Jeanette. The woman who gave Tara and her mother exorcisms. But Miss Jeanette ended up being a fake and was faking the exorcisms to scam Tara and her mother out of money. But that leaves a mystery as to where Lafayette is. Which we quickly discover is chained with several other people to a contraption that is straight out from the movie Saw.  I will admit despite Maryann's sick fascination with people who need help, she did end up saying exactly what we all were thinking and wanted to say to Tara's mother. Tara's mother was and still is a terrible person. She only needed Tara when she was an alcoholic but now that she is all better? Passes judgment and turns her back on her own daughter. Extremely disgraceful! It also seemed Mary...

(((There will be spoilers included in this review))) Summary: After eluding relentless assassination attempts by Prince Cel, her cousin and rival for the Faerie crown, Meredith Gentry, Los Angeles private eye, has a whole new set of problems.

There has been so much development and new discoveries in this amazing, imaginative world. We get introduced to a new ex Goddess, old family members try to cre...

True Blood | Season 1 Episode 10: I Don't Wanna Know (Review)

Image
(((There will be spoilers))) I so freaking called it! Sam is a shape-shifter or preferably a shifter. But the best part of the opening scene is Sookie running into the bathroom, hiding in the shower and grabbing the loofah as a weapon. Can she be anymore of a dumb blonde cliché? Sam tells Sookie that werewolves are nasty creatures and that there is so much more out there. Of course, there would be more supernatural creatures! If there are vampires there's bound to be more in the True Blood Universe. I just find Sookie so annoying that she is acting all overwhelmed and angry at Same when she herself is so different with her telepathy.  Tara went and got an exorcism in the middle of the woods for $800. She ended up throwing up a lot and killing an invisible demon that looked like a child version of herself. There are two possible reasons why this happened. Either she was actually possessed by a demon which in the episode we found out about the werewolves and shifters so who...

True Blood |Season 1 Episode 9: Plaisir D'amour (Review)

Image
((((((Please be warned there will be spoilers)))))))) The opening scene is quite something. We have Sookie looking like Carrie from the prom, Ginger is vomiting and screaming non-stop, and Bill killed Longshadow because he was going after Sookie. I'm pretty sure he wasn't supposed to do that. It's quite disgusting how a vampire dies. Quite a huge mess that is left behind. All that was left was a huge puddle of blood, guts and clothes. As if Sookie's night could not get any worse as soon as she gets home her cat is hanging from her ceiling fan, swinging blood all over the place. It's like one bad Halloween trip after another.  After the non-stop hell that Sookie has endured it's about damn time that Bill took responsibility and admitted it's his fault that everyone around Sookie has been dying. I just don't understand why Sookie would persist on staying with someone who has been the cause of such traumatic experiences.  What has been super s...

True Blood | Season 1 Episode 8: The Fourth Man in the Fire (Review)

Image
((((There will be spoilers in this episode review...you have been forewarned)))) I will admit I have not been a big fan of Sookie's attitude, especially, regarding Bill. But the fact that he might actually be dead makes her act as if she has lost another family member just baffles me. It's just Bill! Is this what love sick teenagers having sex for the first time looks like? Obsessed and down right ridiculous? Sookie's demeanor is beyond ridiculous. What type of person would think to call a vampire during the day and expect them to answer? I'm really happy that Tara is finally experiencing how a sober mother is because from what we have been shown about her Tara has had a tough upbringing. I just find it funny that it took a possum dying in the middle of a forest for Tara's mom to finally be sober. But what I hate seeing is Bill coming between Tara and Sookie. I hate that Sookie is allowing Bill to alienate her from everyone she knows. But on a different no...
