100 Books in 2012: Book 90 VAEMPIRES: ZOMBIE RISING

The latest installment in the Vaempires series doesn’t disappoint.  Following Linq and Ray through the decimated city of Orion, this book happens almost simultaneously with the events in Vaempires: Revolution.  The different perspective is fresh, and Linq’s POV engaged me much more than Daniel’s, the hero of the first two books in this action-packed series.
Linq’s a genius and Ray’s a well-trained warrior, but even they may not be any match for the strange Vaempires that threaten the world, especially when it becomes clear that the Vaempires just won’t stay dead.  Overlaying the story of the two friends are gruesome snapshots of the fate of the spunky princess, Cassandra.
Winship has built a world of action, terror, and intrigue, and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!  Be warned: this series is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart, but the heroes are flawed, the villains are chilling, and the futuristic view of our world is properly horrifying.  A great, quick read!

100 Books in 2012: Book 84 "Obsidian" by Kayla Curry

Obsidian by Kayla Curry


Ava has the worst taste in men. She hasn't been on a date in years, but Tom, the charming business mogul she knows from work, chips away at her defenses. It turns out that Tom is taking over not only Ava's company, but the world: he's a vampire, and he's dying to have Ava join him.

Sensibly, Ava goes on the run: Tom's not the sparkly kind of vampire, and it's obvious that despite their emotional attachment, he's predatory and dangerous. The vampires have zapped all satellite communication as part of their world domination plan, so Ava and her friends escape from Hawaii via boat. In California, they team up with some mortals and immortals who aren't willing to succumb to the vampires and begin fortifying themselves. Ava is distracted from the fight by Jesse, the aloof, rich man with a secret who funds the rebellion, and the reader is left wondering when the bottom will fall out of Ava's next relationship.

Curry weaves a tale of myth, magic, and danger. I can't wait to see what she does with the rest of the series!
