My Reads

Some of my favorite series since getting my Amazon Kindle 2 in February 2009.
* Indicates books I’ve read

Keri Arthur
* Full Moon Rising (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Book 1) – Got as a free download from Amazon. Good first book. More sex than I prefer and little romance (which is ok with me too). Story was ok.

Melissa Marr
* Wicked Lovely - About Faeries.. enjoyed it. There are a couple more in the “series”, but this is a stand alone book.

Charlie Carillo
* Raising Jake – not a series, and far different than most of what I read (that I post here anyway). I got the book when it was a freeby download and it was worth it. It was such a good book about a dad in a dead end job (who ends up quitting job to go to a meeting at son’s school), and son in private school who gets kicked out for not agreeing with the school system. They take the weekend to really get to know each other. Dad heals and son learns more about who he is and where he come from. Really a nice read.
