Read This F@!%ing Book (12)
Welcome to a feature I'm going to post on Mondays called:
Read This F@!%ing Book!
This is a feature for me to push my favorite reads that just aren't getting enough attention!
I'm also opening it up to anyone who would like to guest post. Do you have a book that you just LURVED but feel like its not getting the play it deserves? Email me to let me know and I'd be THRILLED to have you post about it here! Especially if its something I haven't reviewed yet - that's even better (but not necessary)! If you're interested email me:

Read This F@!%ing Book Post 12: Jane Yellowrock series
(Click cover for Goodreads)
(Click title for Amazon)
Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter
Urban Fantasy
Urban Fantasy
Why I'm pushing it:
Great UF series for those that love a hard as nail heroine that has a soft side they protect from others. Well written and outstanding characters and world development. Jane Yellowrock series has it all; vamps, weres, fae and witches. Lots of bloody action and a touch of romance.
Why I love Jane:
She's a kick ass rouge vampire hunter. She's a skinwalker which means she more than just a were. She can change into almost any animal but her beast prefers the form of a mountain lion. I find the inner monologue between Jane and beast every interesting and well written. So instead of one heroine you get two.
Audio:
If you are into audios you MUST experience Jane on audio. Khristine Hvam IS JANE YELLOWROCK! She just knocks the narration out of the park from the timing to the characters' accents. I won books 4 and 5 in paperback but I love the narration so much that I bought them in audio. (FYI I'll be giving away the paperbacks soon at The Book Nympho so stay tuned for that.)
Series reading order:
Skinwalker - TBN's Review
Blood Cross - TBN's Review
Mercy Blade - TBN's Review
Raven Cursed
Death's Rival

Book Characters Hangin’ Out
Thanks so much to Christen
for inviting me to be a guest today!
My teen is reading Kevin Hearne’s
Iron Druid Chronicles in his Critical Reading class. I’m not gonna lie, I’m
proud of myself for getting him to try the series, and so far he’s really
wrapped up in the story lines. Anyone who can inspire my kid to read a book
from cover to cover deserves my undying praise and that’s why Kevin Hearne will
forever be my hero. But I digress… We were talking about the series and the
teen wanted to discuss the reasons behind Atticus’s decision to go after Thor
even though he’d been warned time and again not to. If he knows it’s going to
end up badly, why bother? I told him that Atticus was bound by his honor. That
he’d given his word to Leif and if he went back on his word, he’d have no
honor. My teen and I were talking books! Woohoo! But it also got me thinking
about the guysin The Shaede Assassin series. Could they all get along and set
off on a mission, bound by their word and honor. And for that matter, would
they get along with Atticus, or would the mission be doomed from the start?
Raif
Raif
A reader's choice for Raif. Not. Too. Shabby. ;)
Raif and Atticus would get along, I think. Both are very practical, no nonsense sort of guys. They’re men of action who don’t waste time on words. And they’re both warriors who fought bloody battles in a time where you had to look your enemy in the eye before running a sword through this chest. Like Atticus, Raif is bound by his honor. Once he’s given his word, it’s unbreakable. No one would ever think to question Raif’s honor. He’s admired by his peers, respected and feared by his foes. Once Raif sets his sights on you, you better kiss your butt good-bye.
Tyler
Taylor Kitsch has always been my idea of Tyler.
Whereas I could totally see Raif and Atticus having a mutual respect for one another, I tend to think that Atticus might not have much patience for my wish-granting Jinn. Whereas honor means a lot to the Iron Druid, he’s not real big on following the rules. And if there’s one thing Tyler’s a stickler about, it’s the rules. He’s bound by the rules that define him and the wishes he grants, not to mention a certain sassy Shaede assassin. No matter how much the rules bother him, Tyler won’t be swayed to break them. In a world without order, chaos rules. And my uptight genie just wouldn’t be able to deal with the chaos.
Xander
Charlie Hunnam IS Xander Peck. LOL!
Whereas Raif is pragmatic and self-possessed, Xander can is rash and passionate. The two brothers couldn’t be more different. Like Tyler and Raif, Xander is also bound to something that takes precedence in his life: his kingdom. He might be arrogant, frivolous, spoiled, and demanding, but he would never do anything to jeopardize his people or his kingdom. He takes his role as leader very seriously and will do whatever it takes to protect his throne. And while he’d probably approve of Atticus’s quest, I doubt Xander would be a willing participant. Not if it risked his crown.
What series characters would you like to see interact with one another? Maybe Cat and Bones solving a mystery with Mercy Thompson? Or the Black Dagger Brotherhood paying a visit to Bon Temps?
Amanda Bonilla lives in rural Idaho with her husband and two kids. She’s a part-time pet wrangler, a full-time sun worshipper, and only goes out into the cold when coerced. When she’s not writing she’s either reading or talking about her favorite books.

Book Characters Hanging Out + Giveaway!
Today J.A. Souders has stopped by to answer some questions!
Check out her interview and then enter to win a signed copy of RENEGADE below!
1. What is the hardest thing about being a new author?
For me, the hardest thing has been marketing or just plain getting my name out there. My publisher has been awesome with their own marketing and publicity, but I still wanted to do my own marketing to help in anyway I could and it's WAY harder than I thought it'd be, just because I'm such an introvert. I was always the wall flower and now I'm supposed to be front and center. LOL.
2. Tell us about that moment when you found out you had a book deal!
It was a very yoy-yoying type of emotional day. I had been fighting all day with revisions for a different book and had decided to try a nap to get the brain restarted. When I woke up, I'd had an email from my agent telling me she'd tried calling me and would I please call her back. My heart sunk. I'm always a pessimist (a nasty habit I'm trying to break, but that's another story all together. :P) and I was certain she was calling to let me know that everyone had passed on RENEGADE and that she'd decided we were just not going to be able to sell it and maybe even fire me as her client since this was our third book. So after frantically searching for my lost phone, I called her, shaking. When she first told me I had an offer, I can't remember what she said after that. I had tears pouring from my eyes and I heard something about Tor and 3 book deal and a date, but my head was spinning and my daughter was trying to grab for the phone to "scold" Natalie for making me cry. Then Natalie asked if I would be interested in this offer. I said yes (of course!) and she said fantastic and that she'd talk with the other publishers who were still reading it. We hung up and I just stared at the phone in my hand, crying. It didn't take me long to realize I had no idea what Natalie had actually said and to email her back and get the details again. LOL.
3. What is your favorite classic book and your favorite new release?
I have two favorite classics and I can't choose just one so I'll just say them both. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 George Orwell. I'm sure that's no surprise to anyone who's read RENEGADE. ; ) My favorite new release at the moment isn't a young adult book...it's Twice Tempted by Jeanine Frost. I love her and her characters so much, but WITH ALL MY SOUL by Rachel Vincent is a close second. And I'm eagerly anticipating Elegy by Tara Hudson.
4. You’re a self-proclaimed ‘nerd’. Tell us some of your favorite nerdy guilty pleasures.
I'm a huge fan of video games, but I can't actually play them because I get motion sick when I play, so I "force" my husband and/or son to play them so I can watch them like a movie. I'm a huge comic/graphic novel/manga fan. And of course, I love science fiction. But I guess my guilty pleasures are documentaries. I love watching historical/science documentaries. I don't know why, but I get super-excited when I see new ones pop up on Netflix. :)
5. Tell us about a place you visited during your time in the Navy that really stuck with you.
The Kingdom of Bahrain. It's an archipelego of islands in the Persian Gulf in the Middle East. Before we could even get off the plane, Royal guards stepped onto the plane to explain the "rules" of what we could and couldn't do on the island. Even though we'd be "on base" for most of it, we still had to follow the rules, which were basically women had to be covered from chin to toe. We could wear pants and t-shirts, but they had to be long sleeved and no short dresses or skirts. Women had to be accompanied by a man at all times if we left the base. The funniest part of the whole thing was when I went "off base" to hit the gold markets and I kept getting propositioned by the men who lived in that area because of my strawberry blonde hair and the fact that I just happened to be there at the time that German Prostitutes were brought over and they kept mistaking me for one. LOL.
6. Who is your most-loved fictional crush and why do you love this character so?
Um...it's an adult fictional character, but I'd have to say it's a toss up between Bones and Vlad from the Jeanine Frost series'. And the reason? They're hot...what's more to say? :)
7. Florida is clearly an awesome place to live (DUH). What are your favorite things about living here?
I love the weather and the scenery. It's just absolutely beautiful. I love going to the beach and just staring into the ocean, because there's nothing more peaceful or more terrifying than the ocean.
8. Would you ever consider writing adult fiction? How would it compare to your YA series?
I already do! :) It's not published yet, but I'm definitely hoping to have an adult series out very soon. It's much darker and the character isn't as...innocent as Evelyn is. She's had to fight for everything she's ever had and she's pretty cocky, and not really mean, but hard, I guess. She trusts no one, except for maybe the one person she shouldn't. I love her. I love her character and I can't wait for people to meet her.
9. Favorite food to cook? Favorite food to order out?
I make awesome Belgian waffles from scratch. And I do mean from scratch. I use my grandparent's recipe and it's way yummy. I love Japanese food, so every chance I get, I try to convince the hubby to order Japanese.
10. What is your favorite thing about being an author?
Everything? Does that count as an answer? LOL. I love being able to make stuff up, write it down and let (err...make. :) ) people read them. The money that comes with it, is just icing on the cake. I love that I get to do the job I absolutely love and that job allows me to spend as much time as possible with my kids. But, I have to admit that my absolute favorite part is getting email/letters from fans who've told me how much they love my book and want to talk about it. Especially the ones that have told me they were reluctant readers before, but they ate the story up and have now really started wanting to read. It makes my entire day, week, month, year. Etc. LOL.
J.A. Souders was born in the heartland with an overactive imagination and an over abundance of curiosity that was always getting her into trouble.
Because she never grew up, she decided she’d put her imaginary friends to work and started writing. She now lives in the land of sunshine and palm trees with her husband and their two children and is an active member of the RWA, SFWA, YARWA and SCBWI.
She is represented by Natalie Lakosil of the Bradford Literary Agency and her debut novel, RENEGADE, will be released Fall 2012.

Review: My Soul to Keep by Rachel Vincent
(Soul Screamers #4)
Rachel Vincent
Release: January 4, 2011
Add to Goodreads Buy at Amazon
Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.
See, Sabine isn't just an ordinary girl. She's a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people's fears—and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.
And Sabine isn't above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.
Review:
Each book in the Soul Screamers series has been slightly darker with even better writing and an extra helping of emotional angst. My Soul to Steal is no exception to this, and it is my favorite in the series so far, as each book in the series has been better than the last. I was biting my tongue to hold back from shouting obscenities at my book the entire time!
Kaylee made the right decision at the end of the previous book, breaking up with Nash, whether it had proven to be temporary or not I was happy that Vincent let Kaylee make the smart choice. In this book, Kaylee deals with Nash as he starts to recover from his addiction and the two work out exactly what they are to each other now and if they should give their relationship another shot. This would be difficult enough on its own, but Vincent is not comfortable with just that level of difficulty. She takes things to 'relationship level 99' with the introduction of Sabine, Nash's ex girlfriend and all around obnoxious bitch.
Even though Sabine grated on every last nerve I had and her character made me SO unbelievably angry most of the time, I also enjoyed the introduction of a new character as I think it was a great way to inject some freshness into the fourth book in the series. Sabine is unwilling to let Nash go and openly wages war against Kaylee. And Sabine...she fights diiirrrttyyy. And Nash! Oh man, he pissed me off!!! He was such a stereotypical guy in this book, always defending Sabine and trying to show Kaylee that he 'needed her friendship' but that he still loved Kaylee and only wanted her. I was right on board with Kaylee's constant anger, confusion, and indignation.
Another new character in this book is Alec, whom we met briefly in My Soul to Keep. I found him mysterious and interesting and I'm glad that Vincent kept him as a part of the series and didn't leave us hanging after the previous book. Both Sabine and Alec are great, if not complicated, additions to Team Soul Screamers and I think each of their individual abilities are going to add something extra to future stories.
And, as ALWAYS, I adore Tod. In every book he does or says things that make him an even more important part of the series. In this book, I believe we are being shown the beginning of Tod developing feelings for Kaylee. The signs are subtle, but I think they're there. Sure, let's make the love triangle a square - why the hell not!? Bring on THE TOD!
Between the relationship drama between the triangle of Kaylee, Nash, and Sabine, the mysterious deaths of teacher's at Kaylee's school, and the appearances by a certain always creepy demon...My Soul to Steal cements the Soul Screamers series as one of my favorite young adult series that I've read!

Today Bec McMaster has stopped by to answer some questions!
Check out her post and then enter to win your own copy of Heart of Iron below!
Goldilox: What books are on your TBR list right now that you can’t wait to read?
Bec: Allegiance Sworn by Kylie Griffin. I have been hanging out for this book for months! It’s fantasy romance with a demon warrior-princess and Arek, who is a smoking-hot Lightblade warrior who despises demons. Seriously, get yourself some Arek. Also Redemption by Erica Hayes. Cannot. Wait. It’s sexy fallen angels vs. the apocalypse. With a vampire heroine who sounds like she’s going to really throw a spanner into the hero’s works.
Goldilox: Since you write romance and sex scenes use every word under the sun for a man’s genitals, what is your favorite word for a man’s ‘private parts’?
Bec: Ah, the ol’ ‘what-do-I-call-it…’ I actually let my characters dictate that choice. For example, Blade refers to it as ‘cock’, because he lives in the rookeries of London and he’s a man’s man. Will uses the same, though he’s not as open as Blade about speaking of it. And Honoria or Lena would probably prefer erection or ‘it’, because ladies don’t generally mention such things. I hate anything euphemistic. And penis. For some reason penis reminds me of three-year-old boys.
Goldilox: If you could recommend only one book to everyone you meet, what would it be?
Bec: It changes. At the moment it would be Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane, because that kicks off one of the best urban fantasy series I’ve ever read. And because of Terrible, the rough, sexy hero. I love him to bits.
Goldilox interjects: THAT is an awesome answer because that's one of my all time favorite series ever!
Goldilox: What is harder to write, a fight scene or a sex scene?
Bec: I don’t find either particularly difficult, but I suppose the sex scene is harder. Action scenes are the easiest thing to write – and if you’ve read my books, this probably shouldn’t surprise you. They’re fast, sentences are short and the focus is tight. No time for internalization in an action scene. Whereas sex scenes are basically action scenes with all the internalization. You need to really paint across the emotions your characters are feeling and how this changes everything for them. Why this one person is the only person in the world for them. That's probably the part that slows me down.
Goldilox: Do your friends and family members read your books? Are you ever embarrassed or concerned for them to read any particular scene?
Bec: The local support has been amazing, with lots of friends and family reading it. I’m not particularly embarrassed, as I’m very proud to be a romance writer. I write about relationships and sex is one of the big game-changers in any relationship.
I would probably prefer it if nobody mentioned the sex scenes in public, as they’re not the focus of the book, but someone always does – and it’s usually my boyfriend’s grandmother, who was one of the first to read it.
The only person I don’t discuss my books with is my Dad. That's where I draw the line. We just both pretend he didn’t read it.
Goldilox: Since you live in Australia, what do you think the biggest difference is between Australia and the United States?
Bec: I’ve never been to the USA (which will change this year), so I couldn’t presume about lifestyle. But the language shift always intrigues me. I write for an American market, so a lot of the words and terms I use are American English, and sometimes I have to really think which term is Australian when I’m at work. Of course, Australian-isms sneak through. I still get comments from my copy-editors asking me what I mean at times, which amuses me.
Goldilox: What’s one bad habit you have in your writing? Such as, something your editor always gets on you for doing?
Bec: I tend to throw myself straight into the story and reveal snippets of the world and characters along the way. Leah often points out, yeah, this bit should be back at the start so we know who the heroine is. I have to remind myself that the info-dump is not always your enemy. Sometimes people need explanation about the world and characters, funnily enough.
Goldilox: What can we expect in upcoming London Steampunk books?
Bec: Kiss of Steel was the intro to the world, but there’s a definite plot thread that was introduced – and utilized more fully in Heart of Iron – that will be the main story arc. It’s definitely building, book by book, so prepare for war, steampunk-style.
Heart of Iron is out in May, and that really kicks off the journey. Lena Todd has always been a little bit impulsive, but when someone she trusts leads her into a secretive organization, suddenly she realizes she might just be in trouble. The only one who can save her is Will Carver, the sexy, brooding verwulfen who grew up in the rookeries, and the one man she can’t twist around her little finger. Of course, Lena has her own saving to do, because my heroines don’t just sit back and wait to be rescued.
Then in October, My Lady Quicksilver is out. When Sir Jasper Lynch, the Master of the Nighthawks is tasked with finding the revolutionary leader, Mercury, he has no idea that he might be pitting duty against passion. Or that Mercury might be closer than he thinks.
Goldilox: Are you working on anything outside of the London Steampunk series?
Bec: I’m always working on things. Whether they ever get completed is another story…
At the moment I have a few serious manuscripts I’m working on. There’s a little something featuring angels and the apocalypse which is really fun, kind of a little ‘Supernatural’ in feel. And there is a UF I have been trying to get my head around for a while. I tend to percolate ideas. They may be started a few years before they brew completely. Then all of a sudden an entire world and story hits me and I have to write it.
Goldilox: What is the best thing about being an author?
Bec: Going to work in your dressing gown? Getting paid to make stuff up? Staring out the window being an official part of the job?
No, honestly, for me it’s the actual writing. I love every second of it. I could think of no other place I’d rather be than at the computer. Even during edits.
Thanks so much for having me!
