Book Description: Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father—the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership. In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner—are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Book Review:
I'd heard other readers make the Bones/Spike comparison but I didn't dare hope they could be right. But Spike was my absolute favorite thing about the excellent Buffy the Vampire Slayer show, so even the small chance that a Spike-like character lived within these pages was enough to have me eagerly looking forward to Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series. And wonder of wonders, (and despite Ms. Frost's denial) Bones is Spike.

I didn’t have a particular person in mind when I described Bones. He’s a blend of (younger versions of) Jude Law, Ethan Hawke, Christian Bale, Viggo Mortensen, Billy Idol, Bruce Campbell (younger, like when he was in Army of Darkness), and James Franco, with a healthy dose of my own imagination to boot. I’ve loved vampires since I was a child, and as as a teen, I had a Billy Idol crush, so that probably explains my love of English accents and blond hair. Although I understand the Spike comparisons (I wrote a blond English vampire, I knew they’d be coming), Spike isn’t the image of how I see Bones. If another person sees him that way, however, it’s fine by me. Whatever makes a reader happy when they flip pages. - Jeaniene Frost

Cat Crawford hunts vampires. It's the only way she can reconcile the illegitimacy of her birth to both herself and her mother. In addition to deep seeded hatred for his kind, the vampire who assaulted Cat's mother also left her part of his supernatural abilities. But Cat gets more than she bargained for when she hunts the wrong vampire. Bones is nothing like the monsters her mother has taught her about, and when he captures her she expects to be killed. Instead, he offers her the chance to improve her skills and knowledge about the undead if she'll agree to work with him. Cat soon finds herself allied with a vampire who hunts his own kind and wrestling with her long held beliefs about herself and what she thought she knew about true evil.
If like many of us, you long ago succumbed to the charms of Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you will love the character of Bones. Spike, I mean Bones, is a platinum blond British vampire with chiseled cheekbones and an insulting sarcasm that drips with sexuality. And like Spike, Bones is man enough to admit he's "love's bitch" when it comes to Cat.

My only complaint about this book is the high sexual content. The main sex scene is anything but brief and it's quite graphic. Also the 'training' that Cat undergoes to become the most irresistible vampire bait half alive includes being able to not only withstand the crudest of crude sexual dialogue but also to reply in kind. And then after being outfitted from Sluts-R-Us, Bones tells Cat that she needs to go out sans panties so that the vampires can scent her. Yeah. It's pretty over the top. And in a story with weaker characters or a lackluster plot it would be enough to dissuade me from continuing the series, but...there is so much to like in this book that I'll be back for more.

Sexual Content:
References to sex trafficking and date rape. Crude sexual dialogue. One very graphic sex scene, one brief mildly graphic sex scene, several implied sex scenes.

Spider’s Bite (Elemental Assassin, Book 1) releases January 26, 2010

Book Description: "My name is Gin, and I kill people." My name is Gin Blanco. They call me the Spider — the most feared assassin in the South (and a part-time cook at the Pork Pit BBQ joint.) As a Stone elemental, I can hear the whispers of the gravel beneath my feet and feel the vibrations of the soaring mountains above me, though I don't use my powers on the job unless I absolutely have to. Call it professional pride.
After a ruthless Air elemental double-crossed me and killed my handler, I'm out for revenge. And I'll exterminate anyone who gets in my way. I may look hot in a miniskirt, but I'm still one of the bad guys. Which is why I'm in trouble when irresistibly rugged Detective Donovan Caine agrees to help. The last thing a coldhearted killer needs when she's battling a magic more powerful than her own is a sexy distraction ... especially when he wants her dead just as much as the enemy.

Interview

ATUF: For readers new to your books, specifically your new urban fantasy debut Spider’s Bite, what can we expect from this series?

JE: Spider’s Bite is the first book in my new Elemental Assassin series. The book focuses on Gin Blanco, an assassin codenamed the Spider. When she’s not busy killing people and righting wrongs, Gin runs a barbecue restaurant called the Pork Pit in the fictional southern metropolis of Ashland. The city is also home to giants, dwarves, vampires, and elementals – Air, Fire, Ice, and Stone. Gin is an elemental herself with the rare ability to control two elements – Ice and Stone in her case.

In Spider’s Bite, Gin gets double-crossed on her latest hit, and her mentor/handler ends up being murdered. So Gin sets out to avenge his death and find out who set her up and why. Along the way, she teams up with Donovan Caine, a sexy detective. Donovan hates Gin for killing his partner but finds himself drawn to her despite his best intentions. There’s lots of action, lots of magic, and more than a little romance.

ATUF: Can you explain the elemental magic system you created in the Elemental Assassin series?

JE: Basically, in the Elemental Assassin series, elementals are people who can create, control, and manipulate one of the four elements – Air, Fire, Ice, and Stone. Some folks can also use offshoots of these four areas. For example, water would be an offshoot of Ice, while metal would be one of Stone. Elementals can do a variety of things with their magic, everything from creating Ice sculptures to using oxygen and other Air molecules to heal wounds. Another example would be Gin’s Stone magic, which lets her make her own skin as hard as marble, among other things.

There’s a lot of duality in my magic system, since two of the elements compliment each other (like Air and Fire or Ice and Stone) and two elements oppose each other (like Ice vs. Fire or Air vs. Stone).

ATUF: There is also a rune system employed.  Can you tell us a little about that?

JE: In Spider’s Bite, many of the characters use runes as a way to identify their powers, their family connections, and even their businesses to others. A few folks imbue their runes with magic to do certain things (like to serve as warnings/alarms), but really, they are just cool symbols more than anything else.

For example, Gin had a rune when she was a little girl – a spider rune that she wore like a medallion on a chain around her neck. The rune is shaped like a circle surrounded by eight thin rays and is the symbol for patience – something that an assassin like Gin needs a lot of. Other runes in the book include a cloud (used by an Air elemental healer) and a heart with an arrow through it (which is a symbol for a local nightclub where anything goes).

ATUF: Ashland is the fiction setting you created for the EA series.  How did you conceive this alternate world and what is unique about it?

JE: I’m a Southern girl, and I thought it would be really cool to create this dark, gritty, urban fantasy world that also had a heavy Southern flavor to it. There’s something really dark and gothic about the South anyway, especially if you’ve ever been to any of the older towns like Savannah, Ga., or Charleston, S.C. There’s a lot of history, a lot of tragedy, and a lot of ghosts in the South.

Once I decided to make Ashland a Southern metropolis, I started thinking about some of the places that I could have Gin hang out – and a barbecue restaurant came to mind. I don’t think there’s anything more Southern than great barbecue, and I eventually created Gin’s restaurant, the Pork Pit, with that idea in mind.

In many ways, Ashland is just like any other Southern city – only much, much darker and more violent. It’s just a place where anything can happen, which often leads to a world of trouble for Gin.

ATUF: You wrote three books in Bigtime series about “sexy superheroes, evil ubervillains, and smart, sassy gals looking for love.” Are there any elements (no pun intended) from that series that you’re bringing over to the Elemental Assassin series?

JE: Well, the Elemental Assassin series is much, much darker than my Bigtime books, and there are no superheroes or spandex. But I think both of my series have a lot of the same elements in common – a strong, kick-butt heroine, a cool fantasy world, lots of action scenes, and some sizzling romance. And Gin is definitely the sassiest heroine that I’ve written so far!

Everything is just darker and grittier in the Elemental Assassin series, including the humor. But I hope folks who enjoyed my Bigtime series will give Spider’s Bite and the rest of the Elemental Assassin books a chance.

ATUF: I love the titles for the first three Elemental Assassin books:  Spider’s Bite (Jan. 26, 2010), Web of Lies (June 2010), Venom (October 2010). Do you have any rejected arachnid themed titles you could share with us?

JE: Spider’s Bite was actually titled “Gin on the Rocks” when I submitted it. I envisioned all the books having the word “Gin” in the title – “Bitter Gin,” “Gin with a Twist,” etc. But we decided to go in a different direction, so I brainstormed some spider-related titles with folks in my writers’ group, my editor, and my agent, among others.

We threw around a lot of different titles – “Death Weaver,” “The Deadly Web She Weaves,” etc. We also came up with some real groaners, but I think the worst one of those was “Eight Legs of Justice.” That’s the one I remember!

ATUF: On your website you mention that you “wanted to write a different kind of book with the Elemental Assassin series – a dark, gritty urban fantasy full of magic, power, and danger.” What prompted that desire?

JE: I’ve always been fascinated by assassin characters, especially those in fantasy books. Assassins can be everything from fun to sexy to dangerous to just downright creepy. I had been trying to write an epic fantasy assassin book for a couple of years, but it just wasn’t working the way that I wanted it too.

My Bigtime books are light, fun, zany, comic book spoofs, but dark urban fantasy and paranormal romance has really taken off in popularity in recent years. So I decided to try writing a much darker book – an urban fantasy with my long-percolating assassin character/world. And it finally started clicking for me.

So part of it was looking at the marketplace and seeing what was on the shelves, and part of it was me finally finding the right way to tackle this story that I had been wanting to tell for so long.

Plus, writing a darker book really let me stretch myself as a writer. I think that people who write the exact same kind of books over and over again can become bored or just stagnate and not keep growing as a writer. Besides, I have too many different story ideas in my head to just write one type of book for the rest of my career. I think that I’ve done some of my best work to date in the Elemental Assassin series. I hope readers will agree!

ATUF: Spider Bite’s main character, Gin is a part-time cook, who moonlights as an assassin, and there are recipes mentioned in the book (which we can find on your website – the Chocolate Chip Pound Cake sounds yummy).  Is this an example of art imitating life with your own culinary skills?

JE: I do enjoy cooking, and I love watching the Food Network, but I’m no skilled, gourmet chef by any stretch of the imagination! When I cook, I like to keep things quick, easy, and simple – mix-and-stir recipes, I jokingly call them. Mix some stuff together, put it in a baking dish, and throw it in the oven. Those are my kind of recipes.

And the Chocolate Chip Pound Cake recipe is yummy – it’s so simple to make and so chocolatey. The cake turns out perfect every single time!

ATUF: What are some of your favorite urban fantasy books past, present, or future?

JE: Hmm, this is a toughie just because there are so many great books out there, and I can’t mention them all! I like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and the Hollows/Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison. Those are some of the first urban fantasy books that I read.

I also read a lot of epic and young adult fantasy and paranormal romance. I’ve recently enjoyed reading “The Lies of Locke Lamora” by Scott Lynch; “The Sword-Edged Blonde” by Alex Bledsoe; “Graceling” by Kristin Cashore; and “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. For paranormal romance, I enjoy reading folks like Kresley Cole, Jeaniene Frost, Sherrilyn Kenyon. I could go on and on … Too many great books, too little time!

ATUF: Do you have a dream cast in mind if Spider’s Bite were to be made into a movie?

JE : I think Jennifer Garner would be great as my main character/assassin Gin Blanco. I really loved Garner on the TV show Alias, and she can be tough and vulnerable at the same time, just like Gin is. I also think that Hugh Jackman would be great as Finnegan Lane, Gin’s foster brother/partner in crime. Jackman is sexy and mischievous at the same time, just like Finn is.

Thank you so much for stopping by Jennifer!

Excerpt from chapter one of Spider’s Bite:

In order to kill people, you have to get close to them. Put yourself in their world. Make their likes your likes. Their habits your habits. Their thoughts your thoughts.

For this job, putting myself in Evelyn Edwards’s world had meant getting tossed into Ashland Asylum. To Evelyn and her orderly underlings, I was just another schizo dragged off the streets, driven crazy by elemental magic, drugs, or a combination of the two. Another poor, lost ward of the state who wasn’t worth their time, attention, consideration, or sympathy.

I’d spent the last few days locked up in the asylum convincing Evelyn and the others I was just as June-bug crazy as the rest of the babbling psychos. Spouting nonsense about being an assassin. Drooling. Finger-painting with the moldy peas they served for lunch. I’d even hacked off gobs of my long, bleached blond hair during craft time to keep up the pretense. The orderlies on call had taken the scissors away from me, but not before I’d used them to pry a screw loose from the rec room table.

The same screw I’d sharpened to a two-inch-long, dartlike point. The same screw I had palmed in my hand. The same screw I was going to shove into Evelyn’s throat. The weapon rested on my palm, and the steel felt rough against my scarred skin. Hard. Substantial. Cold. Comforting.

Of course, I didn’t really need a weapon to kill the shrink. I could have offed Evelyn with my Stone magic. Could have reached for the elemental power flowing through my veins. Could have tapped into the acres of granite the asylum was constructed out of and made the whole building come crashing down on her head. Using my Stone magic was easier than breathing.

Call it professional pride, but I didn’t use my elemental power to kill unless I absolutely had to, unless there was no other way to get the job done. Just too easy otherwise. But even more important, magic got you noticed in these parts. Especially elemental magic. If I started collapsing buildings on people or braining them with bricks, the police and other, more unsavory characters would be sure to take note—and an unhealthy interest in me. I’d made more than my share of enemies over the years, and the only reason I’d stayed alive this long was by keeping to the shadows. By creeping in and out of places completely unnoticed, just the way my namesake did.

Besides, there were plenty of ways to make someone quit breathing. I didn’t need my magic to help me with that…

SciFiGuy introduced me to a new author today by posting the cover art for Kasey Mackenzie’s debut Red Hot Fury, due out June 29th.  Looks good, sounds good, its going on my wish list.  How about you?

Hell hath nothing worse than a Fury scorned...

As a Fury, Marissa Holloway belongs to an Arcane race that has avenged wrongdoing since time immemorial. As Boston’s Chief Magical Investigator for the past five years, she’s doing what she was born to: solving supernatural crimes.

It’s far from business as usual when the body of one of Riss’s sister Furies washes up in Boston harbor. Riss discovers that the corpse’s identity has been magically altered, but as soon as she reports her findings, she’s immediately—and inexplicably—suspended from the her job. Then a human assassin makes an attempt on her life, and Riss starts to realize that someone may be trying to stir up strife between mortals and Arcanes.

When a Fury gets mad, she gets even, and Riss is determined to untangle this case. Without the support of the mortal PD, Riss turns to the one man she can trust to watch her back—shapeshifting Warhound Scott Murphy. But since Scott is also Riss’s ex, she’ll have to keep a tight leash on more than just the supernatural rage that feeds her power as they try to solve a murder—and stop a war…

Book Description:

Faerie can't lie . . . or can they?

Much has changed since autumn, when Kelley Winslow learned she was a Faerie princess, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and saved the mortal realm from the ravages of the Wild Hunt. Now Kelley is stuck in New York City, rehearsing Romeo and Juliet and missing Sonny more with every stage kiss, while Sonny has been forced back to the Otherworld and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the remaining Hunters and Queen Mabh herself.

When a terrifying encounter sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful but destined to be cut short. An ancient, hidden magick is stirring, and a dangerous new enemy is willing to risk everything to claim that power. Caught in a web of Faerie deception and shifting allegiances, Kelley and Sonny must tread carefully, for each next step could topple a kingdom . . . or tear them apart.

With breathtakingly high stakes, the talented Lesley Livingston delivers soaring romance and vividly magical characters in Darklight, the second novel in the trilogy that began with wondrous strange.

Review:
Can you imagine what it would be like to discover that the characters from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream were real? That the Faerie realm actually exists and you are a Faerie princess? As the daughter of the Winter King and the Autumn Queen, Kelley Winslow doesn't have to imagine.

Darklight is the second book in the Wondrous Strange trilogy and follows the story of 17-year-old Kelley Winslow. While performing A Midsummer Night's Dream in the previous book, Kelley discovered that the actors in her play were more that figments of Shakespeare's imagination but actually had real life counterparts. Not only that, but she herself was Faerie and a princess at that!  With the aid of her new love Sonny, a changeling charged with guarding one of the four gates to Faerie, Kelley was forced to confront her estranged parents and save both worlds from destruction….or so I’ve been told.  See I didn’t get a chance to read Wondrous Strange first. 

I try not read books out of order, but I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of Darklight for review, and it looked so inviting that I couldn't stop myself from starting it right away. Of course, I then felt like I was playing catch-up through most of this book. In that sense, my review is a bit hampered since both books are really two parts of one big story. So rather than discuss every part of this book, I’m going to mention the highs and lows as I saw them:

The character who made the biggest impression on me was Fennrys Wolf. Like Sonny, he's a Janus Guard, a human who was raised by and imbued with faerie magic from the time he was a baby. He's kind of a jerk sometimes, but not in a malicious way. He enjoys pushing peoples buttons especially the jealousy prone Sonny. I’m hoping he’ll get even more page time in the next book.

The Faerie world created here is delightfully familiar with famous characters like Puck and Titiana from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, but then intriguingly Other with unique additions like the Janus Guard (changelings who guard the four gates to Faerie).  Blending the Faerie and Human worlds is also well done (who knew Central Park was one of the locations of a Faerie Gate?). And I didn’t expect (but quite enjoyed) the high number of action scenes in this book.

For my complaints, the majority of the story takes place in the Faerie realm, so the urban elements are necessarily lite.  I tend to prefer more urban in my urban fantasy.  Also alternating chapters from Kelley and Sonny’s perspective was a little frustrating as it tended to slow down the story progress.  Kelley’s chapter would end with a scene of impending doom and then the next chapter, rather than picking up with Kelley, would jump back to what Sonny had been doing during that time. And since Kelley and Sonny are separated for most of this book, they spend the story pinning for, doubting, and then pinning again for each other again.  I basically had to take it on faith their love had a strong foundation from the first book.

While not a cliffhanger in the traditional sense, the ending of Darklight definitely sets the stage for the last book in the trilogy.  A few plot lines are tied up, but most are left dangling even more tangled than before.  But with any good book, Darklight left me wanting more.

So how did Darklight fare even with my ignorance of the first book?  Pretty well.  Just don't be like me and read Darklight before Wondrous Strange. This book does relies heavily on the events and character development of the first book. Not that Lesley doesn’t do a good job of bringing new readers up to date, but if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to experience all of that first hand. Me? I’m an impatient idiot.  And even though I now know most of what happened in Wondrous Strange, I'm really looking forward to how it all happened. I want to experience with Kelley what is was like discovering her Faerie heritage, falling in love with and then almost losing Sonny, and embracing her unique position of straddling both worlds.  After that, I’ll get read Darklight again with new eyes and be more than ready for the as yet untitled conclusion to the Wondrous Strange trilogy.

Book Description: Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal.

Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie—and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.

Review:
Literaphobia-The fear of reading bad books. I've suffered from that phobia ever since I got hooked on phonics a kid.  But my fear was unfounded with Carrie Jones paranormal love story, Need.  If Twilight and Wicked Lovely had a book baby, it would be Need.

Woods and werewolves and pixies…oh my!

Zara is hollow inside and has been ever since her dad died. Thinking a change of scenery will wake Zara out of her coma-like trance, her mother ships her off to her grandmother in a little town in freezing Maine. Her mother succeeds far beyond her expectations, however, when Zara awakens not just to her life again (through the help of the brooding Nick), but to a dangerous world of ravenous pixies where her own soul may be the price demanded to save the lives of others.

The character of Zara is an extremely well written, very real, portrayal of a girl barley existing after a tragic loss.  She has a quirk, a cooping mechanism, of mentally running through lists of other people’s phobias when she is scared or uncomfortable, in fact the titles of each chapter of Need is a different phobia.

The author uses the present tense throughout this book (except in flashbacks) very effectively. This is a welcome trend that I'm beginning to notice in more and more books, especially YA books (The Hunger Games come to mind). As I reader, this tense allows me to feel like I'm experiencing the story as it happens, to almost be a part of the story.

There is a romance in Need, but unlike many books in this genre, it really isn’t the focus of the story.  At its heart, Need is Zara’s story.  How she copes with loss, new friends, family revelations, and her very way of life.  Falling in love is only a part—a good part, but a part nonetheless--of her story.

My only real complaint with Need is how easily Zara accepts the paranormal aspects of her life.  A few bizarre things happen and she immediately jumps to a fantastical conclusion without a hiccup.  In reality, I can’t imagine someone acting that way.  To add insult to injury, once she decides the paranormal explanation is the only one, she does an internet search and blindly believes everything see reads on one site without ever questioning its reliability. 

All in all, the writing style is a notch above most in this genre, the character of Zara is extremely believable and likeable, her love interest tortured yet loveable, and the story is imminently readable.  Yay for me that Captivate (Need, book 2) is available now!
