Another Book Read
I'm on a roll - I just finished Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs, a sequel to her Moon Called which I wrote about here. She writes the most page-turning books so I had to be very stern with myself one night to stop reading it and go to bed. In the first book she went into great depth depicting her werewolf culture. In BB she does this with vampires. Her vampires are usually simply transformed humans though in this case the villainous vampire was a turned demon-controlled sorcerer. This is not the BtVS 'verse but I could see the bois from "Supernatural" dropping by. Our heroine is a shifter (she can become a coyote) and straddles the mundane world and the supernatural realm where the fae and werewolves have outted themselves but vampires and other beings remain hidden. Her characters are vivid, the action intense and the romance subdued. It's unfair that this excellent book is a paperback while the mediocre Lord of the Dead came out in hardcover. I can't wait for Iron Kissed, her next book in the series, which I hear will deal with the fae.
I just read that the Geico cavemen might get their own TV series (read about it here). I can't wait *sarcasm*. For those of you who live in ignorant bliss the series of ads deal with cavemen who take umbrage at Geico's motto: "so easy a caveman could do it".
