Vampires Desire!

This book is short and straight forward.  I realize why they call it Nocturnal Bites.  There just short stories in which the main characters are Vampires!  The book was a quick read and would have like to have had more but oh well such is life.  Fun read off to the next Nocturnal Bite...with fangs hope fully.

Finished A Discovery of Witches & Shadow of Night

A Discovery of Witches and The Shadow of  Night were both good. It is a captivating story about the forbidden love between a Witch and a Vampire.  Diana and Mathew are made for one another and fate has brought them together. However it does not come without its set of obstacles.  Diana had denied herself to be the person she was meant to be a True Witch. Mathew had not allowed himself to fall deeply in love for hundreds of years.  Now that the are together they must fight to stay together and with each other.  I  really enjoyed the premises of the story line and thought it very educational as well.  Mathew and Diana are scholars and there relationship revolves around there work.  The more I understood what there work was about then the more I understood there relationship.  It was interesting to see how the past had molded itself into the future even if Diana had not been born yet.  I suppose that is the idea of having a soul mate.  The book ended in quite the cliff hanger. Luckily after reading book 1 I had book 2 to start reading immediately.  But now I have to wait for book 3 which is not out yet.  Please Hurry!!!

Finished Discovery of Witches!

What a nice breath of fresh air this book was! A lead vampire man, plus real witches and even time travel!! This was a fabulously creative book! So glad to finally know what all the fuss was about! This book really had me going in the beginning, I just could not put it down and was so excitied to get into Diana's head and the beginning of the romance between Diana and Matthew had me coming back for more but soon as the mystery started to unfold and the romance seemed to die down, it was easier for me to put it down. I feel like I have to make sure I got all the information, all the parts of puzzle that is still unfolding that I don't want to miss! I love the mystery, I love the characters, especially Diana's aunts and her house! I would highly recommend this book. It has a little bit of everything for everyone! As I mentioned in a previous post, as I always compare what I read to Twilight and Sookie, I wish the author gave a little more description as to what the main characters looked like physicially! Edward was so real to me because I had such a clear picture in my mind's eye of what he looked like and although I feel like I know Matthew, this was lacking for me with Matthew and Diana as well:( Almost like a tease since I really liked them. Well onto Shadow of the Night to see what awaits our love birds in 1590!!

Who are Diana and Matthew?

Yes! The Discovery of Witches is a great book! Yes, we get it! Thank you! HOWEVER, being a reader of sound mind and a lover of descriptions I wish the author was better at discribing what Matthew and Diana actually look like....For me that is definetly what is missing from this book. I fell in love with Edward Cullen and Big E aka Eric Northman because I had a very clear picture in my head of what they looked like, at this point, even a fuzzy one would do! It is a great love story but I must know who my lovers are and besides a brief description in the beginning of the book of what Matthew and Diana look like, we are left to our imagination. So, here is what I think Diana and Matthew more or less look like. Like always, take what you like and leave the rest!
