Take the Plunge

Last 2012 was an interesting reading experience for me. And while I did read a couple of YA titles and other genres here and there, my list for 2012 is significantly dominated by paranormal romances and urban fantasy series. These titles are geared towards the more adult readers, which when I sincerely pondered on was age-appropriate considering I already six years and a score. (in tumblr years i'm bordering on ancient, aren't I?) Originally, I had planned to finish 25 books, since I was busy (a lazy ass) the first half of the year. I ended up finishing at 62. So pardon me if I'm feeling a little celebratory due to this feat.

On with my reading challenge for 2013.

While I'm starting my challenge at 30 books, I still plan to go full throttle and read as many as I can. (i think my "inbetween jobs" status in the beginning of this year will land me with more books read) To date, I'm feeling that I'm not yet done with the PNR genre. Finally I've convinced myself that I'm ready to read Sherrilyn Kenyon's series. I don't know why I've put reading these books on hold. I've seen these books whenever I'm on Goodreads and whenever I'm out hunting books at the bookstore. To all Dark Hunter fans out there, wish me luck. I'm actually making this post because I want to like this series so much.

So here's to me taking that step

Dark Needs at Night's Edge - Kresley Cole (Immortals After Dark #5)

Right, so at press time, I have already finished reading an entire series (Blackdagger Brotherhood by JR Ward--which I really want to write a review about because I'm so in to this series, like seriously!) and have started on another (Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole).

Hold up! These titles aren't YA?!

Uhuh.. got that right. I've decided to take a break from all the YA stuff for the time being. Before I fell in love with YA books, there was my first love which historical romance (this was way back in high school--turn of the millennium). If you've seen the my reading-read-to-read list you will also notice that I have a thing for paranormal romance/urban fantasy and high fantasy novels. (hurray for world-building! does this mean that I don't like the world i'm in?--quite possibly)

I digress.

So here is I am just finished with book number 5 of Immortals After Dark and book review writing struck my fancy.



SYNOPSIS

Normally, I am not so crazy over books with ghosts as main characters. I am so in love with the urban fantasy/PNR genre but ghosts just don't seem so appealing or intriguing like the other beings that "go bump in the night. This IAD book is quite an exception.
It's got a sexy demented vampire. It's got haunting ex-burlesque-ballerina. And the plot has just the right elements of danger and passion.
In this book, Woede brother fans get to know Cade's fated woman which will just lead you to jump the next book.
Props to Kresley Cole for her Lore-world building. All my love to the Wroth brothers!
