Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning

This is book #2 in the Fever series. It was more engaging than the first book. I found myself flying through the pages of this book and wondering what was going to happen next. I do look forward to the next book in the series, as ever it was left hanging...

This book continues to follow Mac in Ireland. She's figured out who is a strong candidate for killing her sister. She just isn't sure how to go about finding that being now and what she should do with them once she does find them.

Mac has also figured out that she is not the only one of her kind and has come in contact with others like her. A connection between her and the mysterious Jericho starts to develop. Mac's father even visits Ireland in hops of convincing her to return to the states and forgo the futile task of avenging her sister's death...as it will surly ultimately result in her death as well.

We'll see what the next book brings...

Enjoy!

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

This book was so good. It was from a unique point of view...the dog's. The concept behind the book is that the main character is the dog. You only know what he knows...which in some cases is different from what the people are aware of and other times leaves little gaps that you get clued into later on.

The dogs master is a race car driver. It goes through Denny, the master, meeting a woman, getting married, having a child, and how their lives change...especially the dog's. The amount of loyalty the dog shows is spot on and recognizable for even those who have never had a dog.

The dog, Enzo, has one wish...to be a race car driver. The book follows the spans of time that represents Enzo's life. There are a lot of parts that make you chuckle and some that make you sad.

It's a quick read. All in all it's a good book that I would recommend to anyone.

Enjoy!
