Well, I've managed to finish up the copy edits for Salvatore's story (Devoured by Darkness) that should be hitting the shelves in April...yeah! Now I'm working on the anthology...I think you'll enjoy it, I've put in familiar characters despite it being a historical, which is the pleasure of having immortals :) Over the next few days, I'll be with my mother. She's going into the hospital for a few tests. At least it will give me the chance to read the new Dan Brown novel that I've been dying to read! I'm also on pins and needles waiting for the new Ilona Andrews book and the new JR Ward book...yum! It seems like there's a whole tide of great books coming out in the next few weeks!
Happy Wednesday to all :)

New Review from RT!!!
DARKNESS UNLEASHEDby Alexandra Ivy
RT Rating: 4 ½ Stars
Torture and captivity are two things Ivy's newest protagonists have in common in the latest Guardians of Eternity tale. You can see why Ivy is known for creating spunky heroines who face adversity straight on and don't back down easily. Add in sexy and powerful warriors, and you have a recipe for paranormal romance at its best.
Summary: Having survived centuries of torture, vampire Jagr now spends his time alone with his library. But Jagr still has responsibilities, so when the Anasso Styx sets him on a mission, Jagr has little choice but to comply. When another of Styx's wife Darcy's stolen pureblood were sisters has been located, it's up to Jagr to bring her back. Having spent her life being tortured and caged by a nasty imp, Regan has only one thing on her mind -- revenge. But there are other players in this drama, and they want to get their hands on Regan badly. It's up to Jagr to make sure they don't, but that won't be easy! (ZEBRA, Nov., 384 pp., $6.99) HOT—Jill M. Smith

An apology and a contest!
First of all, if you've written to me in the past two weeks and I haven't responded please resend the email...for some reason most of my mail was dumping into my junk file and being deleted...sigh. I think I have it straightened out now.
Second, another contest...yeah :)
If you'd like to win an ARC for Darkness Unleashed just tell me your favorite male character from any book...I know it's hard to decide, okay impossible, but just one of your favorites!
Mine would probably be Ranger from the Plum books. Or Eric. Or Wrath. Or Rhett Butler. Or...
I'll post the winner on Friday!!
Good luck,
Alex

Review for Darkness Unleashed
From: Coffee Time Romance & More
Paranormal Romance Rating: 5 Cups
Freedom is merely an apparition when one considers just how manyrestrictions there are in life. But the one thing Regan Garrett knows forcertain is that there will never be another man who controls her future.
Peace and privacy are unfathomable treasures for the centuries old vampire, Jagr, and the only things he has ever requested from his king. So his being brought into the fold with his vampire brothers holds absolutely no appeal for a recluse more comfortable with ancient tomes than clan politics. Jagr is seriously considering that the Anasso has completely lost his mind,but Styx is adamant that only Jagr is capable of tracking and retrieving Regan, his mate's sister. However saying no to Styx is not really an option, so Jagr ultimately finds himself face to face with one very sexy andatrociously bad-tempered were.
Of all the pompous, ill-mannered, anddisgustingly gorgeous vamps in the world why is Regan forced to accept help from the worst of the worst? Jagr could out-frost a blizzard in Siberia, but when it comes to this tiny little were, he melts into a puddle of goo; a fact he is quite certain could get them both char-broiled if he cannot get his head together.
If you are looking for hot sweaty romance, pulse pounding action, and hilariously snarky characters you have come to the right place. There is never a dull moment when you combine flat out stunning vamps, hotter than Hades Weres, and one very adorably ugly gargoyle. I cannot wait to go backand read each of the Guardians of Eternity books in this series, but believe me that they stand perfectly on their own. This is an amazing creation of wonderfully developed characters whose wit and intelligence are second to none.

Dragon Con
So was anyone fortunate enough to go to Comic Con or Dragon Con? Of course I missed both...I'm like a troll that never leaves it cave :( In an effort to ease my pain I'm rewatching all the Buffy episodes. How pathetic is that, sigh.

Same 'ol same 'ol
Hope everyone is having a fun on their long weekend. I'm trying to catch up...well, at least trying not to be so far behind :) We're kinda rainy here so I don't feel so bad on missing out on the bbq's, in fact, if I had my way I would let it rain and curl up with a great book, the phone off the hook, and the doors locked! I'm not anit-social, but I do love having time alone just to enjoy a great book :)
What is your favorite way to spend the day??

Call Out
I still haven't heard from Tamara :( If she's out there I have an ARC waiting for her! For those of you who are still interested in an ARC I'll be doing some guest blogging and running more contests over the next few weeks!
It's a new month, which means new releases. I thought about listing them all here, but the scifi guy does such a great job, it's just easier to steal his hard work ;)

What do you all have in your TBR pile??
