For some reason, they know a lot more than they should about what’s happening in town. And what’s happening is growing stranger by the minute.

Nath: Hmmmm. I read this series on and off and right now, not sure I will pick up Night's Honor. I haven't read the Vampyre books of the series and seriously, that cover... I keep thinking the title is Night's Terror ^_^;

She was wrong.
It's time to learn the truth.
Series: October Daye, Book #8
Nath: It seems like authors have given each other's the word to tie up some loose ends :) That's what Ms McGuire is doing with The Winter Long, hence the very cryptic blurb. I'm curious to know what is the truth, so I'll definitively be picking this one up :)

Series: Hot in the Kitchen, Book #2
Nath: It looks full of drama, but there's something that pulls me to this book. Probably the fact that the hero is a pastry chef LOL. On my radar, will see whether or not I get it...
