Such a disappointment. I skimmed over most of the stories and found nothing there to hold my interest. Would recommend that you not waste your time with this one.

Ever since assisting the venators in tracking down and killing a rogue vampire, Major Ursula Carlson has partnered with them to prove to the military that most vampires are decent people and willing to do their part to help keep the country safe. When she discovers some very disturbing news about the Army's plans for their vampire "armies," Ursula goes AWOL to warn the Vampire Praetorium of the danger to come.
Now Ursula has paired up with Solomon, one of the venators, and one of the few of his kinds she trusts implicitly. They must work together with Ursula's new friends to protect the vampires. If they don't succeed, every single one of the vampires will be slaughtered out of fear and ignorance.
In Blood Seduction, the sequel to Blood Lust, we have Army Major Ursula Carlson and Solomon's story. Ursula's opinions of vampires have changed drastically since getting involved in the hunt for rogue Charles (see Blood Lust) and while she doesn't trust their kind as a rule, she has learned there are many good souls in their race. She certainly never expected to see the day she'd put everything she believes in and her long upstanding career in the Army on the line to protect them. That's exactly what she does though. Ursula has a strong moral code in spite of (or maybe because of) her life growing up and she will always stand against what she believes is wrong. This very thing is the catalyst for all that is to follow in Blood Seduction.
Solomon is an intriguing mystery and I've loved him since I met him. So has Ursula, though it took her a while to understand and accept this. Solomon has a long involved and very deep history that I thoroughly enjoyed discovering alongside of Ursula. He became even more enthralling the more we learned. Solomon is the perfect complement to Ursula with his deep abiding and quiet loyalty.
One especially fascinating aspect of the vampire world created by JM Jeffries is the talents each vampire has. Every vampire has one special gift that comes with the change, though it takes a few centuries to manifest itself. For example, Mignon's ability is to defy gravity making her able to literally walk upside down on ceilings. Solomon's ability makes him a daywalker, able to withstand the sun except the few hours midday when the sun is at its peak. This one detail helps to set this vampire world apart form the ordinary found in romance novels.
JM Jeffries is able to bring humor into even the darkest of times. Ursula has a very dark and twisted sense of humor that is her outlet for intense stress. This causes some amusing scenes where she just can't control her tongue, often offending other characters, but always bringing levity to the moment.
Blood Seduction tells a passionate story, though sometimes quite dark, as was Blood Lust, that will suck you in. We are even given more of a glimpse into a couple other favorite characters of mine, Max and Elder Turi. I can only hope this means Max's story is coming soon? And maybe a story for Elder Turi as well? I would love to spend more time in the world JM Jeffries has built!

Welcome back to the Nightside
Imagine Harry Dresden loose in a Neil Gaiman-style world, and you'll have some idea of what's going on in the world of the Nightside.
And the dark supernatural underbelly of London is no less alluring -- and dangerous -- in the second omnibus of Simon R. Green's urban fantasy series, containing the shortish novels "Nightingale's Lament" and "Hex in the City." And it's still full of action, grotesque danger, bizarre creatures and crimes that only an expert "finder" can solve.
In "Nightingale's Lament," John Taylor is approached by Parisian banker Charles Chabron, who asks him to help him with his daughter, a nightclub singer called Rossignol. Not only has the girl withdrawn from everyone except her management, but her sad songs are driving people to suicide. And when John starts investigating Rossignol, he finds that she is always in a depressed, drugged stupor and her managers the Cavendishes keep her isolated.
After one of her fans shoots off his own head during a concert, John joins forces with the zombieesque Dead Boy, and starts prowling around for the last singer that the Cavendishes took under their wings. Turns out that Sylvia Sin has become something inhuman and horrifically desirable -- and the Cavendishes have done something even more terrible to Rossignol. Rescuing the trapped nightingale will stretch John's abilities to the limit... and he may not be able to truly save her.
And things get more personal when John Taylor has "Hex in the City." After a disastrous auction where the chaos butterfly attracts some unwanted bidders, Lady Luck herself -- who exudes luck both bad and good -- hires John for the ultimate "find" mission: discover the origins of the Nightside itself. If he can do that, then she will give him the information he desperately wants, about the missing mother whom he can't even remember.
After consulting a grumpy wishing well, John joins forces with the Madman and Sinner ("Please get him out of here. You don't know what it's like, having him around. The screams and the howls and the rains of blood") to unearth the darkest secrets of the Nightside. But there are a lot of people who don't want John to succeed -- including Walker and the Reasonable Men -- and the secret of his mother's identity may be too terrible...
Transvestite superheroes, Sister Morphine, temporal triplets, the ghost of Merlin Satanspawn, Hell's Neanderthals, teenybopper-goth groupies, a ragged and homeless Herne the Hunter, and a twerpy probability-shifting guy called Count Entropy. Even if Simon R. Green had no writing ability whatsoever, the world he conjures in the Nightside series would be worth the read -- dripping with darkness, eccentricity and utterly twisted fantasy-noir humor.
Admittedly Simon R. Green fills his noir/urban fantasy novels with a little too much tough-guy wisecracking, and it's a bit annoying that John deals with everything by saying, "I'm John Taylor." But Green does a pretty solid job overall -- and while "Nightingale's Lament" is a pretty straightforward noir-soaked fantasy, "Hex and the City" expands the storyline to epic proportions, with revelations that can affect all of the Nightside.
And Green's spare, slightly bizarre prose is suited to the stories. He has a knack for describing things ("the neon signs were flickering on again, like road signs in Hell") and his dialogue is just as fun ("The octopus is off, but we hope to recapture it soon. And don't ask for the chameleon, because we can't find it").
John Taylor is your average noir anti-hero in the Raymond Chandler mold -- a little grizzled, cynical, and always with a snappy remark at the ready. He's backed by a cast of incredibly bizarre characters, including the pragmatic, ghoulish, booze-swigging Dead Boy, the Madman who reshapes reality, the tragic Rossignol, and the amiable Sinner who belongs neither in Heaven nor in Hell (so he just sort of hangs around the mortal realm).
"Haunting the Nightside" brings together one good and one great urban fantasy, both exploring the dark slimy niches of the Nightside. Definitely a good read.

Powerfully, intensely, passionately, Barbara Raskin's Hot Flashes speaks to a generation of women as none has ever before. Already hailed as a brilliant novel about love, relationships and where women are today, Hot Flashes may be the most heatedly discussed novel of the year.
Hot Flashes hums with tension; it ignites, enflames, and captures a unique era through its protrayal of four unforgettable women: Sukie, Joanne, Elaine, Diana. Their dreams were a mirror of an America in transition, reflecting a turbulent time. Born with FDR was president, teenagers in the fifties when sex was a sin, young wmoen in the turbulent '60s, they now have children as old as they were when JFK was shot, Vietnam began and the Movements and Liberation swept them into a new age. And their lives are changing yet again.

Adam Schonberg, the hero of Cook's latest (and silliest) medico-thriller, is a N.Y. medical student, supported by wife Jennifer's dancing career--until Jennifer gets accidentally pregnant. What to do? Well, abortion is repugnant to both husband and wife; so Adam decides (not very plausibly) that he has to quit reed school and get a job--with Arolen Pharmaceuticals in New Jersey. Soon, however ...
More, trainee Adam is becoming more and more suspicious about the big, slick Arolen company: its salesmen have computerized personal data on all the potential doctor-customers in the N.Y. area; Arolen treats its M.D. customers to lavish ""educational"" cruises; the company is doing research on psychotropic drugs and fetology. And, meanwhile, pregnant wife Jennifer has become a patient at the ""weird"" Julian Clinic--where everyone speaks in a creepy ""flat voice,"" where one of the docs has just committed suicide, and where Jennifer's obstetrician (recently returned from a cruise!) has suddenly started prescribing an iffy anti-morning-sickness drug. . . manufactured by Arolen!! Could all these ""strange coincidences"" be connected? Could the Julian Clinic have an ulterior motive for mis-diagnosing Jennifer's unborn fetus (via amniocentesis) as severely abnormal? Could Arolen and the Julian be linked in a fiendish conspiracy to manipulate the medical profession and--via unnecessary abortions--generate a steady supply of fetal tissue for experimentation?? Of course, of course. So Adam sets out to get the goods on the Arolen conspiracy: he joins one of those doctor-cruises, witnessing the drugs-and-electrodes brainwashing of gullible docs; he uses a court order to rescue Jennifer from abortion. And, after sneaking into the Puerto Rico hospital where doctor-victims are getting assembly-line lobotomies, Adam brings vivid evidence of the Arolen horror to the top doc at the FDA. . . who just happens to be his estranged father.

Billy McIlvain's most memorable childhood times were spent with his Philadelphia Main Line family, and he was happiest when celebrating his birthday with his beloved banker grandfather. Then on Billy's tenth birthday fishing trip, his grandfather is murdered. This nightmarish episode and the departure of his tennis pro father (when a sizable inheritance does not materialize) end forever any appearance of a "normal" life for him. Lacking emotional support from his alcoholic mother, the teenaged Billy becomes increasingly alienated-an alienation fueled by the need to avenge his grandfather's death. After doing time in prison, Billy seeks his father to make him pay for the early years of neglect. This wrenching first-person account intersperses Billy's pre-prison memories and letters to the dead grandfather with present-day events and fantasies. A powerful and compelling novel; for popular collections.

It's official: Alexandra Haughton needs some serious reintroducing to life's most delicious pleasures, and powerful businessman Sterling Powell is just the man to do it.
