"Wicked Deeds on a Winters Night" by Kresley Cole

Another “some-some” character… Ugh! Also, if you’re going to write about Louisiana, know that we don’t eat “crayfish” – whatever that nasty sounding thing is. We eat crawfish and other weird animals. I get that Louisiana (and New Orleans, specifically) are great settings for mystical and legendary creatures, but at least do some research into our foods before embarrassing yourself with something so blatantly obvious. It’s almost as bad as the “some-some” slang – maybe worse.

This seductive paranormal series continues with a brutal Highland werewolf and an exquisite young witch, adversaries with a blood vendetta between them.

Her breathless kiss haunts him…

Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was nearly destroyed when he lost the one woman meant for him. The ruthless warrior grew even colder, never taking another to his bed—until a smoldering encounter with his enemy, Mariketa the Awaited, reawakens his darkest desires. When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander finds himself using all his strength and skill to keep her alive.

His slow, hot touch is irresistible…

Temporarily stripped of her powers, Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn adversary. It’s rumored that no one can tempt Bowen’s hardened heart, but soon passion burns between them. Though a future together is impossible, she fears he has no intention of letting her go.

No deed is too wicked for her seduction…

If they defeat the evil that surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen when he demands her body and soul—or will she risk everything for her fierce protector?

"Silence" by Becca Fitzpatrick

Back of the Book:

The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They’ve overcome the secrets riddled in Patch’s dark past…bridged two irreconcilable worlds…faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust…and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they’ve worked for—and their love—forever.

Mitsuko’s Review on Goodreads.com:

This series is too freaking hilarious, and I want to see how this train wreck is extinguished. AND I want to see this particular scene on the cover, where Patch is about to throw Nora’s corpse into the ocean to cover up the evidence. (read the entire review here)

Rating:  1.0/5.0 ★☆☆☆☆ 

The very worst thing about this book is pretty much everything. Little miss genius gets kidnapped, loses her memory, and upon returning home (with no memory of the previous five months) promptly sneaks out knowing that her kidnapper is still loose. *sigh* I weep for my lost braincells. Rest in peace, little guys! I miss you!

The very best thing about this book is this quote:

“Suicide,” Vee told her. “You know, when you put a little shot of everything into the glass?”
