I'm a reader, reviewer, and published author at Cobblestone Press. In this blog, I focus mainly on the books I read: primarily romance in almost every subgenre, with the occasional true-crime book thrown in for a little variety.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy preserving my photos through the art of scrapbooking. I also love scented candles, though of course I don't burn them too close to my books or scrapbooking supplies. :) I also enjoy watching A&E programs such as Cold Case Files and American Justice.

The Huntress

I seem to be reading Silhouette Bombshells these days. Not long ago, it was A.K.A. Goddess. This week I read The Huntress by Crystal Green. It's a good book: 4 out of 5.

When Camille Howard's lover, Griffin, is kidnapped by vampires, she vows to find him if he's still alive. She ends up needing the help of Sargent, a mysterious man whose determination to kill any vampire he finds conflicts with her own desire to conduct research and help them return to society. This conflict is a fascinating one, and I like the fact that this book shows the benefits and problems with both approaches.

Camille is a great multifaceted character. She is compassionate yet ruthless, capable yet willing to accept help. Sargent is an equally interesting character; I only wish he'd been in the story more than he was. As for Griffin . . . well, that's edging toward spoiler territory, so I won't say anything more about him.

Usually I keep books I rate 4 or higher. In this case, while I enjoyed reading The Huntress, I know I won't read it again. I felt a bit like I'd been on an emotional roller coaster.
