Buffy's Ramblings

 GOOD NEWS! I'm returning to blogging, reviewing, writing, etc.  However, with feedburner going away, I was looking into other solutions and, as my mother and grandmother used to say, got a wild hair up my ass and decided to build a whole new website.  That's right, go big or go home, right?  Anywho, the new site is  here  and is under construction, but still functional.   I will transfer reviews  - with new a new rating system - over to the new site (for the most part) but that is likely all that I will manually transfer.  I will leave this site up for referencing old posts (such as old tour posts with fun things from authors), but nothing new will be posted nor will any comments on old posts (though I will monitor comments on this post in case anyone has questions about the move).   I know I've been gone a long time and for that I greatly apologize.  It took a while to build up a following and I hated taking a break - su...

I have always been a voracious reader . . . and by always, I mean since the second grade. Most of the time, I read for fun. But sometimes I also read for escape. I’ve been needing a little more of the latter lately, so I’ve been trying to work in more reading time. And here are a few of the many, many books on my TBR list: 1 RELIC OF SORROWS (Fallen Empire Book 4) by Lyndsay Buroker. Though romance is my favorite genre, this straight-up sci-fi series has really pulled me in. I...

Summary: The time has come... I'm Kit Davenport, and this is the end. Title:   The Alpha's Pack Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  6 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   315 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: Oh the darkness. Kit and her faithful Hellhound are definitely not their normal selves. Poor River has so much to struggle with. Kit pulls it together with her guardians and is preparing for the fight to save the world from her own mother. The battle itself was bittersweet. It started out cool, but it ended quickly and strangely – good strange, but strange none the less. The thrilling conclusion to Kit’s story was fine and all, but I’m still left wanting more. I’m definitely going to be looking into more from Tate James and hopefully more from this harem. Bottom Line: Full of tension, anticipation, and edge of your seat action, The Alpha’s Pack satisfies with delic...

Summary: Well, I just can't seem to catch a break, can I? I bet none of you saw that coming! Here I am, dealing with the events of the last book. Events I won't elaborate on, because that would be spoilers. But trust me when I say, things will get worse before they get better! I'm Kit Davenport, and my heart is breaking. Title:   The Crow's Murder Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  5 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   290 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: This book hurt in so many ways. It’s primarily Wes’s story and it is scary, frustrating, and sad. Poor Kit loses so much and endures excruciating heartbreak. She ends up in a pretty dark place. This is definitely not a book to be read out of order and needs to be read when you are prepared to dive immediately into the next book (and not at midnight when you need to be functional the next morning…not that I did that or anything)...

The Scientist and the Supermodel ( Genetic Attraction Series, Bk 1) by Tara Lain Blurb: Scientist Jake Martin knows a lot about genetics but very little about himself. He tries to forget the sex he had with a guy, even though women barely do it for him. Still, he’s sure he’d be happy if he could just have his research partner, the brilliant Emmaline Silvay, but she’s older, smarter than anyone, and his boss. Then in a dark bar, Jake comes face-to-face with supermodel Roan Black, “the most beautiful man in the world”. Jake can’t resist the gorgeous, androgynous guy, but Roan won’t accept Jake’s self-deception. Jake has to admit that it’s a man he wants and Roan in particular, or there won’t be a future for a PhD scientist who refuses to see the truth and a high school dropout whose eyesight is 20/20.

Summary: Betrayal has forced us on the run. Evading the very man I considered my family, the organization I once considered good. In hiding, I need to master my new power and find peace with my bonded guardian--or risk exposure. But my heart can't accept the events that led us here. I need answers. Closure. An olive branch is offered and another trap is sprung. While my relationships grow stronger by the day, new tensions arise and ghosts of my past appear. But can anyone be trusted? I'm Kit Davenport and I didn't see that one coming. Title:   The Viper's Nest Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  4 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   382 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book.

Summary: My quest for answers is what’s led me here. Here, to the edge of civilization where shifters are free from persecution and able to live in peace. Or, at least they were until I arrived. In the aftermath of the trouble I brought, one man holds the answers I seek so desperately. Whether he will part with his secrets, that’s another matter. This world is not what I always thought it to be and someone is doing their best to kill us all; when accidents continue to happen I must consider the possibility that someone I love is setting me up. With the fate of the world at stake, I must face the demons of my past or risk being consumed by them. But this time, I’m not alone. I'm Kit Davenport and this is going to leave a mark. Title:   The Tiger's Ambush Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  3 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   368 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: A bunch of stuff goe...

Summary: I should have known my quest for vengeance would eventually be my downfall. I should have been more careful, more paranoid--but I'm glad I wasn't. Who knew that getting caught for my crimes would lead to so much happiness? But joy can be fleeting... It turns out, this battle is only just beginning. With ultimate power on the line, my faceless enemies will stop at nothing to capture me, dead or alive. I need to master my abilities, fast, or this could be the end for someone I care far too deeply about. I'm Kit Davenport and this is going to be a bumpy flight. Title:   The Dragon's Wing Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  2 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   290 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: This sequel starts off with fun that leads directly into utter terror.
