Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, Book 5) Best Review


Mercy as always has gotten her self in trouble but this trouble is endangering the ones she cares about .Mercy finds her self being hunted by the Fae queen, she will stop at nothing to get what she believes Mercy has. wail trying to deal with her new found trouble with the Fae, she has to also balance taking care of Samuel. Samuel has decided hes lived to long and there is nothing left to live for. After an attempted suicide Samuel is left with his wolf in control. That the wolf is in control instead of the man is bad enough, but if his dad the the like the alpha of all alphas finds out he will be forced to terminate Samuel. And to top it all off Adams tribe had not been right since Adam brought Mercy in, and there is disloyalty brewing among the pack and if some one doesn't do something there could be a huge problem.Mercy will need to except her part in Adams life and pack to survive this and help everyone else stay alive also.

I liked this book alot. This is a great series. I love Mercy she is so strong and independent and stubborn i love it. Adam is the mega alpha male. Handsome, loving overprotective, strong and in control and never stops till he gets what he wants. Samuel is loving , smart , soft spoken but you know he has more power than any of the wolfs including Adam.

I think the ending seemed a little rushed and easy but over all the book was a great success. If you have not checked out this series yet you should its a good one.

Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, Book 5) Overview


All-new action in the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series

When mechanic and shapeshifter Mercy Thompson attempts to return a powerful Fae book she'd previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down.

It seems the book contains secret knowledge-and the Fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side-leaving Mercy to cover for him, lest his own father declare Sam's life forfeit.

All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she might not have many more to live...

Not much from the characters - A. Horton - Seattle, WA USA
I've enjoyed the series, but was fairly underwhelmed by this book. The plot and action were generally fine (although the ending felt sudden, with an unhealthy dose of deus ex machina) but the characters felt flat and one dimensional. Mercy, for instance, other than periodic expressions of romance-esque passion for Adam (which felt more like an animal in heat than real attraction) just sort of hovered around blithe annoyance. Ditched by someone she did a lot of favors for, she accepts it with a shrug. Betrayed by a pack member? Mild irritation. Even tortured, she seems basically nonchalant about the situation. Just felt like Briggs wrote a plot without paying much attention to the characters in it.



No Mercy for Mercy - Nancy Braun - Kokomo, IN United States
In this next book in the series, Mercy rocks a series of conflicts and proves herself out as a strong heroine and an interesting character with depth.
This is not a stand alone book, and you will want to read it in the context of the rest of the series. Sexy, fun this is an entertaining ride.






Silver Borne - Shifter fan -
If you are a fan of the paranormal, then this book is for you. Patricia Briggs brings the characters to life and makes you wish you lived next door to them. Mercy is a coyote and the big bad alpha wolf is her boyfriend. She is a brave, independent and strong woman with a femine side that does not get the way of getting the job done.She has ties to the Fae world through Zee which is the Fae who sold her her shop as well as vampire ties. I like Mercy and though I'm no good at reviews I felt compelled to write this one because I like the series so much.

Review Definitely Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 6)

Definitely Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 6) Best Review


Definitely Dead is definitely different from the previous Sookie books in the way the plot develops. This books switches focus at the beginning and shines on the domestic side of Sookie, to get us grounded again in a bit of the personal everyday side of life. In this book, Sookie begins dating Quinn, the Were Tiger, which at the end of the story, results in the cover art. Sookie this time after some disallusionment with Bill, decides that she will pace herself with the romance, and take things slow. Yet slow doesn't necessarily mean not steamy...

Charlaine develops the world of Sookie Stackhouse quite nicely with this book, especially the idea of good witches with powers more akin to Samantha, and the idea of backstabbing political intrigue with the mystery regarding the death of Sookie's cousin Hadley. The whole of the story revolves around the Queen of Louisiana and her marriage to the King of Mississippi, and the former were turned vamp who shows up in typical Sookie fashion in a closet!

Another developmental idea is the idea of Sookie using her powers for good. Not only as an excuse to get her into all sorts of vampire functions, like all the books before, but for actual benefit to the community. The idea of this is so obvious, but for some reason has never occured to me before reading about that in this book. Now some caveats are learned about this activity in the next book, so please relish this little vignette and enjoy it, because it might not happen much in the future.

On the romance side, Eric forces some serious disallusionment with Bill by revealing his secret life as the Queen's spy, and Quinn really finds himself helpless to take the edge off that shocker. Other than that, the romance in this book is slow, and a bit tedious in her pursuit of a guy which we know she wont wind up with in the end. But, if you exercise your patience, you'll stop and notice that Quinn seems nice, and is a refreshing change of pace from Sookie's past beaus.

The action and the mystery combine at the end, as key plot elements come together, and mysteries are solved in the aftermath. People who crave vampire/were blood soaked action will find this story right up their alley, as swords chop chop chop up unwilling victims left and right. I feel like beheading certainly qualifies as the title inspiration of definitely dead.

Emotionally, this book is great. You really feel great depths of despair at Bill's shocking revelation, and a parade of others as this story takes you on unexpcted twists and turns. If there was anything missing it was that true love mushy mushy type stuff which really has been absent since book 1 now that I think about it.

This is a very good book, regardless what others have said. I believe someone said that Sookie wouldn't like 'The Prouducers' which could be realistic since she was going on a date and didn't really get to pick what show she would watch. Charlaine has never been shy about using real world business establishments like Ralph and Kacoo's, and Walmart and apparently is not worried about using real world shows which will date the books. I've always enjoyed the fact that the events in these books supposedly occur just before they are published which leaves them hopelessly dated. I mean, Sookie doesn't have a cell phone for several books...and isn't really keeping up with the information age anyway.

Recommended.

Definitely Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 6) Overview


The new Sookie Stackhouse novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Dead as a Doornail.

Who will Sookie Stackhouse date next? - Sara A. Pauff -
** spoiler alert ** It was okay...it's too bad both Bill and Eric are turning out to be pains in the neck. I think they're much more interesting than Quinn, who just seems to wander around half-naked most of the time and calls Sookie "Babe." Not to mention Sookie's going through supernatural men like a fat kid in a Krispy Kreme store -- Bill (vampire), Sam (shapeshifter), Alcide (werewolf), Eric (vampire), Calvin Norris (were-panther?) and Quinn (were-tiger?). Who's next? My bet is on a hobbit. Or Harry P...more It was okay...it's too bad both Bill and Eric are turning out to be pains in the neck.

Time to Move the Story Forward - Rebekkah - Utah & Hawaii
While some reviewers found book six slow, I thought the story in book six introduced new characters and situations that are obviously going to set up books down the line. Because I'm not always into long, drawn-out mysteries, I actually enjoyed this novel for its straight-forward action and plot development. Yes, there were still mysterious actions going on in the story, but they are answered rather quickly, and only aid in propelling the story on a bit more.

On the whole, I liked the new characters and the direction the series has taken. The story has become even more paranormal than it was before (if possible), and it should be interesting to see where it goes. I can't say that the writing is sparkling (no vampire pun intended), but the story telling is interesting and holds a twist of comedy and drama that feels strange for this type of novel. It's hard not to care about Sookie and her life. Really, I think that while Sookie's strange draw to every man she associates with can be a bit annoying, that you do grow to want to see her safe and happy!



One of my favorite books! - Anna Lee - Oakland,CA
I must admit that until I purchased Club Dead I didn't know very much about Charlaine Harris. After reading Club Dead the third book from the Sookie Stackhouse series I became hooked. Definitely Dead was not only a page turner but an incredible mystery full of depth and humor. I loved every second of this book, so much so that it only took me a day and the half to read. Charlaine Harris has a gift for combining mystery, erotica, and humor. Her understanding and emotional development of the characters makes it easy for (me) the reader to follow along to. The story was so engrossing and fun that I found, I lost myself with each page. I loved Ann Rice tell the day she retired and found it difficult to find another author of her genre that I could really get into until I discovered, Charlaine Harris. I can now say I've found an author with a series of books I can look forward to reading. Reading has never been so fun.

Review Voyager (Outlander)

Voyager (Outlander) Best Review


This, like Dragonfly in Amber the second book, was fantastic. It continued a great storyline and provided plenty of action and adventure, and that ever steady romance between Jamie and Claire.

A larger book, it covers quite a bit of ground in the story of Jamie and Claire's relationship. It starts where Dragonfly in Amber leaves off, with Claire still in the 20th century with her daughter Brianna. They are searching through the history books to see what became of Jamie Fraser, Claire's husband from the 18th century. When at last they find him, Claire must make the decision on whether she will go back in time to seek him out, or stay in the present with her daughter.

Persuaded by her daughter to go to him. She prepares for her journey back in time and once again steps through the stones. Back in the past, she rather quickly finds Jamie and starts on a whole series of misfortunes and adventures starting with the burning down of Jamie's print shop and an unsuccessful smuggling attempt to bring in alcohol. Forced to flee the city, they return to Jamie's home in Lallybroch.

Lallybroch isn't too peaceful however, as Claire learns that in her 20 year absence, Jamie has married again. And not only has he married, but it was to a woman who tried to kill her in the first book. A settlement is reached and Jamie, not having the funds to pay off Laoghaire (the 2nd wife) takes his young nephew to obtain some jewels that are buried off the coast. However, before his nephew Ian can get back to them, he is abducted by pirates.

Because of this, and a promise to Jamie's sister to keep her son safe, they head for the Caribbean. Beset by the British Navy and many other foes, reaching the Caribbean is not easy for them and they are separated numerous times along the way. When they finally reach the islands it still stays dangerous in their quest to save Ian.

Like the other books, this one is mainly written from Claire's point of view. It retains the rich descriptions and wordiness that Gabaldon is known for but the length of the book does not detract from the enjoyability of it.

My only complaint would be that we are reintroduced to a character that was presumably dead in the first novel, but has come back and changed drastically. While Gabaldon gives a plausible explanation to this change, it still seems out of place and a bit unbelievable.

The 3rd book in the series, Voyager, is a great read. However, the first two books should be read before it; this is not a stand-alone read.

Voyager (Outlander) Overview


In this rich, vibrant tale, Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that began with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber. Sweeping us from the battlefields of eighteenth-century Scotland to the exotic West Indies, Diana Gabaldon weaves magic once again in an exhilarating and utterly unforgettable novel....

Their love affair happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her ... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams.

When she discovers that Jamie may have survived, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face what awaits her ... the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland ... and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that lies beyond the standing stones.

Voyager - Deborah LaBauve - Abbeville, LA
This book by Diana Gabaldon was recieved in good condition. It was the most awesome book I have read in a good long time.



So sad.... - E. Holmes - Alabama, USA
Outlander is my all-time favorite book. I am so sad that the subsequent books seem to get wosre with each each edition. I will have to stop with this one, but I grieve that I will never get to read the great series this could have been.



Awsome read - Jan M. Lorrain - Coppell, TX, US
I loved this book. This is actually the third one, of a so far eight part series, telling the story of Claire and Jamie. Some time ago I started with Drums of Autumn, then ran across A Breath of Snow and Ashes and realized that I wanted to start at the begining. So I ordered all the books that I have not read. I am so glad I did. This is a marvelous story with a lot of history thrown in the mix. I have become very fond of the leading characters who are very human. Amazon has it listed under Romance novels, but I don't think that is a good place for the series. I think more folks would read the books if they were under Historical Fiction.
