Halfway to the Grave Re-Read Recap Thread!

Re-reading Jeaniene Frost’s Halfway to the Grave was just what I needed this month. The first time Bones called Cat “Kitten” I was grinning, and the joy didn’t let up until the last page. The real question, readers, is have you continued the re-read and dived in to the next books? I know some of our reviewers have. Below you’ll find some of the VBC staff’s reactions to reading or re-reading Halfway to the...

Halfway Check-In: How’s the Halfway to the Grave Re-Read Going?

The VBC team is re-reading Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost in celebration of the book’s 10-year anniversary. The full details are in last week’s post. (We can wait while you catch up.) Are you joining us on this (re-)read? We have one more week until we offer our full re-read thoughts, but we figured the halfway point was a good time to check in with everyone. (Plus, VBC’s HBIC Chelsea just really...

Join VBC for a Re-Read of Halfway to the Grave

Way back when VBC used to host monthly group reads. (How many of you remember those days?)

The Night Huntress series has been listed on the recommendations pages here at VBC for as...

Read Along – The Immortal Who Loved Me by Lynsay Sands [PART 4]

Note from Chelsea/VBC: We’re excited to be doing another read along here at VBC, and as I explained Monday the Argeneau series is such a great fit. The Immortal Who Loved Me works as a standalone, so it’s okay if you haven’t ever read another book in the series. Plus, if you participate in our discussions, you’re entered to win the complete set of Argeneau novels by Lynsay Sands. That’s 21 books. Wow,...

The Immortal Who Loved Me Read Along Starts Tomorrow!

We haven’t had a fun group read here at VBC in some time. We figured it was about time to change that. One series so many of our readers tell us they want to try is Lynsay Sands’ Argeneau. We’re into it with good reasons: sexy vampires and heavy doses of humor. They’re fun and flirty and we dig that. Plus, vampires. Right? We recognize that starting a series that has 21 books in it sounds super daunting....

January Group Read: Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison

As happens from time-to-time here at VBC, I’m making an executive decision. We’ve had Thea Harrison’s Dragon Bound in the group read poll several times, and it always just misses being selected. Well, I had it on my physical to-read shelf for a long time. I quit waiting and finally read the book last month and Oh My God it was fantastic. In the interest of good reading everywhere, I’ve decided to make...

Fantasy Lover (Dark-Hunter #0.5) Sherrilyn Kenyon Published: 2002 (St. Martin’s) Purchase at: Book Depository or Amazon Reviewed by: Chelsea Rating (out of 5): 4 stars Nothing like a Greek love slave to keep you up all night. Well, it didn’t go exactly like that, but I did read the entirety of Fantasy Lover in a single sitting in the wee hours of the night. So, we can pretend, yes? While Fantasy Lover is,...
