Connie, I read Secrets in the Mist and started Blood Secrets, but Blood Secrets felt more zombie-like than the first book did - what did you think. I just felt uncomfortable with it if it kept with that zombie theme. I usually really like Morgan Busse, but this one - hmmm???
I wrote down the first few books I read and re-read and then totally forgot to put in the rest! Here's what I remember:
JANUARY READS
LOST BITS by Kerry Nietz – sci-fi – 4.5
LOVES ENCHANTED TALES by Kimberley Rogers
SELKIE'S SONG – fantasy – 5
THE STORYTELLER'S DRAGON – fantasy – 5
MASQUERADE – fantasy - 5
ABERRATION by Cathy McCrumb – sci-fi – 4.5
SWEET BASIL (novella) by Lea' Doue – fantasy – 5
THE ELEMENT OF LOVE by Mary Coneally – western – 5

Kim - I had to read the next book! I didn't think it was more zombie than book one...plus it had an ending.0

Kim - I just saw your note about the 5.5* That was a typo and I corrected it. The book was good, but not THAT good. LOL. If I have something that is over and above, I add a "+" to the ranking, then at year-end I do a search on my yearly document for the plus sign and it shows my favorites for the year. There are usually just about 5 or 6. So far this year I have had two.
