Clock Rewinders (06/23/13)

Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the brain child of Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books.  I'm inviting myself to their party (as I sometimes do) because I have so damn much fun reading Amanda's posts that I couldn't help myself.

Reading the Paranormal Week in Review

• Review: The Dream-Hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon - Not my favorite in the series, but important to the overall arc.
• Top Off Tuesday - Nip Alert!
• Review: Kiss Across Time by Tracy Cooper-Posey - Fast paced with the naughty type of sexin' that I like.
• Review: Kiss Across Swords by Tracy Cooper-Posey - My favorite time-traveling vampire menage is back!
• Review: The Submission of Giuliana by Rosalind Scarlett - I was looking for something nicely naughty to read and I wasn't disappointed.
• Review: Donovan's Struggle by Rosalind Scarlett - Short, sweet, and nicely naughty.
• Review: Cailin by Rosalind Scarlett - This is a very introspective book.
• Review: Soelis by Rosalind Scarlett - The writing is lyrical and the revelations at the end could have a huge impact on Aislinn's future.

Globetrotting...

• I reviewed Demonglass (Hex Hall #2) by Rachel Hawkins over at Amanda's blog. I liked the book overall (the ending was OMG!) but several of the issues that bothered me in book 1 were still there. Here's to hoping book 3 brings it all together and makes me grin!

I have a few more posts to share but suddenly it hit me that they all had a common theme and... I think I'm going to talk about THAT next Saturday. So... stay tuned. I've got THINGS about to happen!

Until next week, my little darlings!
