Hey everyone!

 

I just started reading the House of Night series by P.C. & Kristin Cast. Has anyone else read or heard of these? They're probably aimed at the teen crowd but whatever lol. I'm on the first book called "Marked" and the sixth book in the series is being released this October. It's pretty good, it's about a vampyre (that's how they spell it in the book) finishing school, which is a cute idea.

 

Thoughts, anyone? :)

I was wondering about those.

 

I need a new vampire series. I've read all of the Twilight and Sookie Stackhouse novels as well as the Anne Rice books.

 

Let me know what you think when you get finished. I read the first chapter of book 1 online but didn't really get into it enough to buy it.

Erin, I shall keep you posted! :) I'm about 9 chapters in and I agree that the first chapter doesn't really grab you. It seems to get better further in, like Twilight, it's not aimed at "adults". The main characters in the book are all teens (and one of the co-authors is probably only in her 20s or so) so the dialogue is very teen-ish but I don't mind it. I'm reading it as fluff. I'll probably read more of it this weekend since the ILs are down and we probably won't be doing much other than sitting around talking about nothing.

So I finished the first book, Marked, last week. It definitely started to pick up half way through the book. I actually really enjoyed it. I'm almost half way through the second book in the series, Betrayed, and I like it a lot so far. I would definitely recommend these books Erin.

Dunno if you're reading this thread still Erin but I wanted to let you know I'm almost done the 4th book and will be starting the 5th book probably tomorrow. This series gets soooo good further along as the story and the characters develop. If you can get past all the teenager-ish dialogue (but it IS a book about teen vampyres after all lol so it's to be expected), they're quite entertaining. :)

Oooh.. I was thinking of reading these ones. I saw them at Costco and I'm a sucker for vampire books.. heh!

 

Erin another good vampire series is the Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton. She has like 18 or 19 books out but I've only read the first 7. The first book is Guilty Pleasures and they seem to get better as they go along.

I just started reading this last week. How funny. It's totally a light read, but not as captivating as Twilight. Just as annoying though with the teeny bopper dialogue. However, it's a fun read and it's not time consuming- which is definitely what I wanted. I just started book 3 yesterday.

 

Does it drive you nuts that they spell it "vampyres." It drives me crazy. I also didn't like how they didn't really explain how vampires and humans came to co-exist- like when did they come out of the coffin ala True Blood style?

 

But I did tear up at the end of Book 2- so they do a good job telling a story.

Well they're definitely light reading, that's for sure. I can't really compare them to the Twilight series, because for me, I feel like the stories are totally different from each other. I really enjoy this series though, despite the dialogue haha.

 

Rachel - Ugh, the end of the second book had me tearing up too! That was just heart-wrenching! sad.gif I'm half-way through book 4...interesting stuff going on!

 

I don't particularly care for the spelling of vampyre vs vampire. Vampire looks better to me lol.

 

The Anita Blake series is on my list of books to read next, along with the Vampire Chronicles...I'm excited!

 

Also, not vampire related, but I'm very excited to start reading The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong some time soon. I think it's about a teenage girl who can raise the dead (aka zombies), sounds neat. :)

 

Amanda - You're welcome wink.gif You'll probably enjoy the HoN series as fluff like I do lol

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
