Received the book in the mail yesterday and started it last night. I love the characters so far! 

Journal Entry 3 by piggydiva from Louisville, Kentucky USA on Thursday, September 07, 2006

SOME SPOILERS!!


Shanna, a mild-mannered dentist in the witness-protection program is saved by a gorgeous vampire when the mob finds out where she is hiding. Naturally, they fall in love, but the road to true love isn't easy--we find out her dad is a CIA operative with a program called Stake Out whose mission it is to search out and kill all vampires. Shanna's vampire hunk, Roman, is also plagued by a 500+ year old animosity with the evil Russian vampire.

Great characters and an interesting (if somewhat predictable) plot. I did like the thriller aspect of the book, it intertwined nicely with the horror aspect. If there weren't vampires involved, it would have read like a Ridley Pearson novel! I thought Shanna's transformation was a little quick, and I didn't buy her character in the final chapter (you'll know what I mean after you read the book).

All in all--it was an excellent read! I'll be sending it to Agnesxnitt next! 

Journal Entry 4 by AgnesXNitt from Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Saturday, September 23, 2006

Again, I can't remember signing up for this one - and can't think why I did! Oh well, thanks for inclusion on this one Ladiibug and to Piggydiva for the lovely postcard - in the words of the Who you must be able to see for 'miles and miles and miles and miles and miles'! Kinda like Cambridgeshire - nothing to stop the wind from Russia! 

Journal Entry 5 by chas04 from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire United Kingdom on Friday, September 29, 2006

Thanks for the book, I shall put it at the top of my pile to read next. Nearly finished the current read so shouldn't be long! Never been to Godmanchester, even though it's not really that far away. Plus, I do like a good vampire story! 

Journal Entry 6 by chas04 from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, October 03, 2006

I really enjoyed reading this. Not quite the dark Anne Rice type of vampire but still suave enough to tempt me! I just hope the next person enjoys it just as much.

Sending it on its way to sunlightbub in Port Sunlight. 

Journal Entry 7 by sunlightbub from Wallasey, Merseyside United Kingdom on Friday, October 06, 2006

Love the postcard of Bishops Stortford, which I don't think I've every visited..Love a good vampre book so looking forward to this..THanks to everyone who has got it this far!! 

Journal Entry 8 by sunlightbub from Wallasey, Merseyside United Kingdom on Sunday, October 29, 2006

I liked the beginning of this but got bored to death in the middle so skimmed the rest. Perhaps I've read too many vampy books this year, but it didn't do it for me..particularly the story line about her father..Thanks for sharing and sending on though xxxxxxxxxxxx

Off to Teuffi tomorrow 

Journal Entry 9 by teuffi from Wandsworth, Greater London United Kingdom on Wednesday, November 01, 2006

Book received today. On my to be read list! 

Journal Entry 10 by teuffi from Wandsworth, Greater London United Kingdom on Friday, December 01, 2006

I have to say I hadn't realised this was a romance, or else I probably wouldn't have signed up for this ring but I have to admit that I did enjoy this read! A very light and quite funny book, hope the next person will enjoy it too! 

Journal Entry 11 by teuffi from Wandsworth, Greater London United Kingdom on Tuesday, December 05, 2006

Sent the book to sweetdaisy today. 

Journal Entry 12 by AnonymousFinder on Sunday, December 10, 2006

Received the book as part of a book ray. I know that I am only allowed to keep it fr 30 days but as there is Xmas in between, I apologise in advance for maybe keeping it a little bit longer... : )

CAUGHT IN CARRICKFERGUS - PART OF BOOK RAY UK 

Journal Entry 13 by sweetdaisy from Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim United Kingdom on Sunday, December 10, 2006

Received the book as promised, Thanks. I know that I am only allowed to keep it for 30 days but as there is Xmas in between, I apologise in advance for maybe keeping it a little bit longer... : ) 

Journal Entry 14 by sweetdaisy from Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim United Kingdom on Monday, December 18, 2006

Good fun story, a modern twist on the usual vampire myth, very light read that makes laugh. Just contacted Oisec to send the book on... many thanks to ladiibug and all participants of the book ray! 

Journal Entry 15 by sweetdaisy from Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim United Kingdom on Wednesday, December 20, 2006

Posted it off to Oisec in Germany!
Enjoy!!! ; ) 

Journal Entry 16 by oisec from Frankfurt am Main, Hessen Germany on Monday, January 01, 2007

The book arrived on Friday already, but I didn't have much time then to officially catch the book :-)
Thanks a lot for sending it, sweetdaisy and a happy new year to you, too.
Thanks for sharing, ladiibug!

Happy new year!

P.S.: That should read "caught in Seckmauern" not "caught in Frankfurt" as I got the book when I was here at my parents ;-) 

Journal Entry 17 by oisec from Frankfurt am Main, Hessen Germany on Monday, March 12, 2007

I finished this book earlier today and I really enjoyed this book. I had not suspected to finish it quite that fast, so I only asked for the next person's address today, but I hope to be able to send it on later this week.

I enjoyed the plot line, especially because there were some new-to-me ideas :-) I hope to read more by Kerrelyn Sparks in the future.

RELEASE NOTES:

Time isn't right, but I'd completely forgotten to make the release note. Should be with the next person rather soon. Sorry about being so forgetful lately! :( 

Journal Entry 19 by ekaterin4luv from Nürnberg, Bayern Germany on Thursday, June 28, 2007

I got this last weekend and read it, no - devoured it.
A wonderful lighthearted read.
If I happen to come across other books of Kerrelyn Sparks I'll be sure to read it.

oct/07: I asked for the next andress.
 

Journal Entry 20 by angelbird72 from Newcastle, New South Wales Australia on Saturday, November 03, 2007

Okay, this book arrived in the post yesterday.

I decided, in celebration of finishing the Extension English exam that morning, horrific as it may have been (blasted postmodernism!), and in celebration of the fact that I never ever have to do high school english ever ever ever again, this would be the perfect book to read.

So I did. And I was right.

Whilst I will admit that it's not exactly the most influential novel of the century, and there were a few niggling little things that annoyed me as I read, it was still quite an enjoyable book.

It worked out as about an 8.5 for me, but I've rounded it up to a nine. I'm going to ask for the next address, but I still have one exam to go, so I'm not tempting myself with a trip to the post office until that it over and done with.

Thanks for sharing! 

Journal Entry 21 by bargainqueen from North Nowra, New South Wales Australia on Sunday, December 09, 2007

I received this in the mail today. Thanks very much for sending and I have moved it to next on my TBR. If anyone has any grand ideas of what they think I should do with this book after reading, please let me know. Otherwise I will try and find a new home myself. 

Journal Entry 22 by bargainqueen from North Nowra, New South Wales Australia on Thursday, December 20, 2007

A thoroughly enjoyable read I think. I liked the characters, and thought the storyline was easy and fairly good. However if I read the words "God's Blood" even one more time I will be ready to scream! How many times can an author repeat something a vampire is thinking. That sucked!
An 8/10 is pretty good though. I will hop onto the Club VLAD yahpp group and see if there are any takers to continue this ray. 

Journal Entry 23 by bargainqueen from North Nowra, New South Wales Australia on Friday, December 21, 2007

Looks like this book would like to continue travelling. I will send on as a ray.

Journal Entry 24 by Lemonitsa from Montréal, Québec Canada on Friday, March 14, 2008

Arrived this morning! It had a long voyage but I think it was enjoyed :)

Thanks for the bookbag from the convention, bargainqueen! I like it very much. Thanks also for the extra goodies you added. They are very cute.

I'll try to have this done in under a month :P
So many books... it's wonderful. 

Journal Entry 25 by Lemonitsa from Montréal, Québec Canada on Monday, April 07, 2008

This book was lots of fun. I think the different take on Vampires was a cool idea. I *really* liked "Blood Lite" :D

It's the first time I read something by this author and will probably look into her other books now.

I have red-dianthus' addy and will mail this out tomorrow. :)

(finished)

ETA: (april 08) TRAVELLING to red-dianthus! 

Journal Entry 26 by red-dianthus from Surrey, British Columbia Canada on Wednesday, April 16, 2008

This arrived in the mail today. I am bery busy with work right now but will read it as soon as I can. 

Journal Entry 27 by red-dianthus from Surrey, British Columbia Canada on Saturday, April 26, 2008

This was just the kind of light reading I needed right now. Not to be taken seriously but a fun escape.

It is off in the mail to the next person this afternoon. 

Journal Entry 28 by yvensong from Reno, Nevada USA on Sunday, June 22, 2008

The Pony Express was said to have made deliveries from Missouri to Nevada in 14 days...so why does it take the Post Office 2 months to deliver one small book? [sigh]



 

Journal Entry 29 by yvensong from Reno, Nevada USA on Sunday, June 22, 2008

Forgot to mention, since this took so long to get to me, I bought a copy last month and have already read it. Here's a quick review:

Quick read. Silly romance. I was looking for a light, fluffy read...and this fit the bill.

I have PM'd Geniedances for her address.

Thanks, everyone for sharing this! 

Journal Entry 30 by yvensong from Reno, Nevada USA on Tuesday, June 24, 2008

This is on its way to Geniedances

The book has arrived. Its next on my TBR pile. 

Journal Entry 32 by geniedances from Houston, Texas USA on Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Light, funny, enjoyable and quick read. A good book to take along on my pet sitting jobs this week.
I've sent a PM to the next reader and hope to send it on its way ASAP. 

Journal Entry 33 by raeliz64 from Leicester, Leicestershire United Kingdom on Monday, August 04, 2008

Received today. Thanks very much. 

Journal Entry 34 by raeliz64 from Leicester, Leicestershire United Kingdom on Saturday, August 09, 2008

I found this quite tedious in parts and skimmed more than a few pages. I hope the next reader is more appreciative than me. 

Journal Entry 35 by raeliz64 from Leicester, Leicestershire United Kingdom on Saturday, August 16, 2008

The book is on it's way to Finland. 

Journal Entry 36 by CandyDarling from Helsinki, Uusimaa Finland on Thursday, August 28, 2008

Thanks for mailing me the book! I was on another ray for this book, which was mailed to ToyJoy, so I got to take her place in this ray instead. ;)
