Reviewing A Feral Darkness by Doranna Durgin

A Feral Darkness by Doranna Durgin
BLURB: Brenna Fallon naively invokes an ancient Celtic deity to save her beloved dog, and inadvertently anchors this power at a spring on her family farm. But she's also left an opening for a far more malevolent force. When a devastating plague hits, she must depend on her wits, strangers she doesn't trust, and a mysterious stray dog.

My Review: I love dogs and this book was all about them. It was also about belief in ancient Gods and the fight between good and evil told in a way that was most entertaining.
If you've ever read any of Doranna's book then you don't need me to tell you that you are going on a journey with great people and unexpected twists. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys her books or just likes unusual books with lots of informative narrative about dogs.

Just got a wonderful book, Storm Warned by Dani Harper

As yet I cannot tell you much about it as it only arrived today but I can say it sounds exciting and the cover art is wonderful. Just look at it

Here's the blurb for those of you who might want to buy it come the end of the month. (Due date being 31 March 2015).

BLURB: When Caris’s unearthly musical talent attracts the attention of the Wild Hunt, the Welsh farm girl is stolen away to serve as a faery grim, a herald of death. Two centuries later, she’s finally escaped back to the human world—and into the present-day life of a reclusive and heartbroken American musician.

Music was Liam’s whole life—until a crushing betrayal left him desperate to flee the public eye. Yet long-dormant passions awaken within him after a powerful storm strands a beautiful, strong-willed woman on his isolated farm. When a fae prince bent on ruling both human and faery realms threatens Caris’s life, Liam must decide if he can finally believe in love again, not just for her sake—but for the sake of two worlds.

From the bestselling author of Changeling Moon, this sweeping and passionate story of paranormal romance follows two souls from different centuries who lost everything…and found that only love can save them.

My Crochet Projects



The two on the top are my Sophie's Universe blankets the pattern of which can be found here and the one underneath is the first of five various coloured lapghans I am making for my girls (my daughter and the four partners to my sons).

I also made this for #100womenproject.

Just finished reading Skinwalker by Faith Hunter

Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock #1) by Faith Hunter 5*
BLURB: Jane Yellowrock is the last of her kind-a skinwalker of Cherokee descent who can turn into any creature she desires and hunts vampires for a living. But now she's been hired by Katherine Fontaneau, one of the oldest vampires in New Orleans and the madam of Katie's Ladies, to hunt a powerful rogue vampire who's killing other vamps...

My Review: Why has it taken me so long to find this series? I loved the action and the intrigue but most of all I loved the kickass heroine. What made the book even more enjoyable was the excellently written secondary characters and the beautifully described world of New Orleans and a society that has vampires and witches as the norm. As soon as funds allow I think I'll be doing a catch up on this series. After all I need to find out how she and Beast solve who will be top dog (or should I say cat?).

Well that's a relief.

I received an email telling me that blogger aren't going to enforce the changes after all. So now I can go back to blogging about my books even when they are hot, hot, hot!!! :D

Since the last update I have been busy with some crochet projects (and one knitting one too). All the croceht ones are blankets but I think these two are my favourites:

I've also done a fair bit of listening to audio books and reading both e-books and paperbacks. Here's a list of them, without any reviews as there are too many for me to bother with. Suffice to say I'd recommend all bar the 2* to people who already know they enjoy my kind of reading.

Warlock: To the Magic Born by Christopher Stasheff 4*

Alexander The Great: A Comic Biography by William Arnett PhD 3*

Friction (Dominion, #0.1) by Lissa Kasey 2*

The Warrior's Apprentice(Vorkosigan Saga, #2) by Lois Bujold McMasters Narrator Grover Gardner 4*

A Future for His Werewolf Warrior (Lone Wolf Pack, #6) by Anya Byrne 4*

Cethe by Bacca Abbott 4*

Out of the Dark by David Weber 4*

Volley Balls (Balls to the Wall, #1) by Tara Lain 4* (Finally got around to reading the first one in the series :D)

Secrets & Truths by Kimberley Hunter 4*

The last one is a very good book that had a nice first person narration from both MCs and an unusual twist to the normal werewolf sagas.
