Mailbox Friday.

Friday's Mailbox...
I've decided that I will stop participating in In My Mailbox, the reason being I seem to get a lot of books every week and it takes me forever to put them all together in one post and link them up.
So I will be doing Mailbox Mon-Fri every week.

Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like?

Well I have a few, but the one that I was most disappointed in which had a gorgeous cover was:

Bloodrose (Nightshade #3) - Andrea Cremer
I loved this series but was sorely let down by this third and final book in the series.

Cover Reveal: The Goddess Inheritance

The Goddess Inheritance (Goddess Test #3)

Revealing The Synopsis For Edge Of Dawn (Midnight Breed #11) - Lara Adrian

Edge of Dawn (Midnight Breed #11)

by Lara Adrian

Twenty years after the terror of First Dawn—when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly among them—the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal cost.

Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior’s code of swift—and even lethal—justice. But the one thing she desires more than the Order’s hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return.

Kellan didn’t think he would ever see Mira again—or have to confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take sides—between the competing missions that dominate their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.

Expected publication: January 22nd 2013 by Delacorte Press

I'm so excited for this one, I love the series, and I'd hoped that Mira would be coupled up with Kellan.

Book Review (129): Forever Werewolf - Michele Hauf

Forever Werewolf: Forever Werewolf\Moon Kissed

by Michele Hauf 

Publication: 18th September 2012
Publisher: Harlequin
Pages: 576
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Age Appropriate: Adult
Alexis Conner, princess of the Alpine pack and pureblood werewolf, hides a painful secret-she has never shifted. If she can’t shift, she can’t mate, and so Lexi resigned herself to a lifetime of loneliness. But then a stranger arrives, and Lexi senses that her world will never be the same….

A massive avalanche might be to blame for Trystan Hawkes getting stuck at Castle Wulfsiege, but after one look at Lexi, Trystan is not about to leave. Lexi is strong, smart and incredibly sexy. Not that it matters. Tryst is an omega-the fabled lone wolf. Even more damning is his mixed vampire heritage.

Lexi knows that the vampire blood running through Tryst’s veins makes him off-limits, but what if he’s the one man who can rouse her inner wolf?

My Thoughts...

I've always been a big fan of the Harlequin/Mills And Boon books, at one point they were all I'd ever read, so I always love it when I get the opportunity to pick one up again, I was very excited when the Harlequin Nocturne books started being produced as the paranormal genre is my favourite, these are the one's that I gravitate to more so than any of the other's.

I like it even more when there are two books in one which is the case here.

Forever Werewolf

This one was my favourite out of the two, and while reading this one it seems that the pages flew by.
Trystan 'Tryst' is the son of a mother who is a full-blood vampire and a father who is half vampire and half werewolf, vampire's are not at all liked by the werewolf's and the fact that Tryst is a half-breed dosn't help the matter.
Tryst is sent to Castle Wolfsiege by his father to deliver a briefcase personally to the principal (pack leader), but before he gets the chance to deliver it there is an avalanche which buries quite a few of the pack, Tryst who all his life has wanted to belong in a pack jumps right in and takes charge in rescuing the people under the snow.
He becomes attracted to Lexi the principal's daughter, who seems to be hiding something behind the sunglasses she never takes off.
With the secrets between them and Lexi's father against a relationship because of him being a half-breed they have their troubles before they even begin.
I loved Tryst and Lexi as a couple which had me loving the story even more.

 Moon Kissed
I did like this story but it took me longer to get through than the first one.
Bella is chased one night by three men whom she later finds out are vampires, after running into an empty warehouse she is saved by a man Severo, who just happens to be a werewolf.
Severo believes that Bella may be his mate who he's been searching for, for quite a long time.
Bella takes a while to come around to the idea that vampires and werewolves are real, but they start a relationship and soon fall in love with each other, but what happens when she becomes the one thing that Severo can't stand?

I didn't like the characters so much in this story but it was still an enjoyable read.

I give this 4/5.
