Ecstatic Evil by Amanda McNeil

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Review: Tova is a half demon and trying to decide which half of her she wants to embrace -- her evil demon half or her less evil human half. She has two months to decide but is distracted by the pull of another creature of the underworld, Greg.

I wasn't too sure about this book from the cover. I though, "Oh my! Is this going to raunchy?" haha! Yeah, I can't help it. It looks that way. I read reviews on it and it sounded good and others talked about how the cover was deceiving so I decided to open it up. I was a bit disappointed. I received it as a PDF and converted it to epub. It ended up being only 54 pages and I made it to page 20 and stopped. Here is why. In the first three pages there were about five uses of profanity. It didn't get any better. Then, I was in their bedroom reading about everything they were doing in there. Sorry, I'm just one of those people who likes what happens in my bedroom but not other people's so I decided to close the book. The story sounded promising and the writing was fun to read. I just have a hard time getting through writing like this so, it wasn't for me but probably great for other people.

Author: She currently lives in an attic apartment in Boston. She spends her days working and her nights writing. Ecstatic Evil was her first book and published in July of 2011. She is planning on the publishing date of the sequel to be in November 2011.

Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong

Genre: Fantasy/Paranormal

Author: "Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed.

"Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets." (Came from here.) 


Synopsis: This is actually the tenth book in the Women of the Otherworld Series. I have never read any of them but there was enough back story that I wasn't lost at all. Elena and her husband are both werewolves and sent to Alaska to investigate several mysterious deaths that look like wolf attacks. Since wolves don't normally attack humans, the werewolves are concerned and send their best two pack mates in to investigate. Elena and Clay encounter some unexpected mysteries along the way -- including some paranormal creatures the werewolves thought were just a myth in the Alaska Wilderness.

Review: I couldn't finish this book. I tried but there was too much sex and the F-bomb was dropped a lot. There were 299 pages and I got to 100. I can't convince myself to go any farther. The story was interesting and I wanted to find out what happened but I had trouble forcing myself to read through so much bad language and sex scenes. I am really disappointed about this though b/c I love love love Kelly Armstrong's YA adult series, Darkest Powers. I was hoping this would be just as awesome. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past all the inappropriate content. Sorry....
