review Burden Kanas by alan ryker

This had a little different view on vampires. It made it more oringal. kept me interested to see how it all worked out at the end. Keith is a ranger and somthing been killing his cattle and his nieghbors cattle.  The sheriff came out to see what he could see but he hates keith. A scientist from federal goverment has come out and knows a little about the creature but not much.
Keith ends up trapping one and learned a little bit more about them and knows how to stop them from killing his cows. Keith wife had cancer and keith drinks a lot but he is close with his niece and brother. Makes some really tough decisions and asks others to make them to. I can see how this could lead to more stories along the way.  I liked the story. It given an ebook inexchange for honest review.

review: Borrowed Saints by Aaron Polson

Tucker and his sister Phoebe moved to a small town to live with thier uncle after thier parents died in car crash.  Tucker was starting his senior year, phoebe was a freshman.  Tucker liked to draw but didnt like his art teacher. Ellen was in his art class and showed hime a ghost train. Haley was the rich girl and snob and was interested in tucker. was making life hard on Phoebe always being rude. Charlie was trying to prove that thier was ghosts even had some equipment. He also wanted to be charlies friend.
Tucker felt somthing was wrong with the town after feeling and seeing weird at Haley party and than later when Ellen shows him the ghost train.  When tucker tried to show it to Charlie and he could not see it. He realized he was senstive to seeing more than most people.  Phoebe was hearing voices in her head to cut herself.
Thier was somthing missing it seamed like in one spot. also the ending I wasn't happy with. It left some things up in the air. Maybe another book with these characters in. If so I will read it. I was given the ebook in exchange of honest review.

review Whirlwind by Robin DeJarnet

I enjoyed watching Melissa meet Jason and watch them fall in love. Melissa came to her best friends Mitch's wedding. She was feeling depressed not only was Mitch now marrying Ann but he was moving away from college and starting a new job. Melissa had a lot of friends at the wedding, but she didn't know the handsome usher who seated her at the wedding untill she saw him seat Mitch's parents and realized it was Jason his younger brother that last fall they had flirted over the internet for a few weeks.  Jason kept stareing at Melissa too and finally at the reception realized that was who she was. Also durning the wedding some guy was bugging and scaring Melissa and Jason and melissa friends scared him away.
Melissa was both flirty and shy with jason because he was at school back east and she in CA. The next day Jason went back with her to her empty apartment because of the scare and did not want to leave her and watch them fall in love and see all the friends she has Melissa had a hard time thinking that in 5 days she wont see Jason again. I loved the characters and wanted to see more of them. I did not want to say goodbye either. I was given the ebook in exchange of review when done.

I can tell thier were other books in the series before this but I did not feel lost at all.Taylor is homacide LT. in Nashville. Dr. Baldwin works with FbI profiling they are engaged. A serail killer called Pretender is focused on Taylor and wants to play with her. Pretender has helpers he is training they are killing in LA, Boston, NY following different killers mo. He has made all these big plans to draw taylor into. the start of the book he has kidnapped her sargent and took his eyeball out and killed his fiance to get her to go to North Carolina. Their are so many victims and strings its hard to focus she has to be overwhelmed and her fiance is hiding things from her. This books has lots of twists and turns before its all wrapped up. It was hard to put the book down last night and first thing i did this morning was get it out again. I will definately look for her other books. I want to get to know the characters better and see how they worked together in past books and hope for more of them if the future. I was given the book by Library thing in exchange of honest review
