Read an awesome book today.UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR

Today I read UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It was great. Here are my journal notes/review from my journal log.

UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR
A Dream-Hunter Novel
Sherrilyn Kenyon
ISBN: 0-312-94705-4
November 2007
Paranormal Romance

Read November 5, 2007

Rating 4.5 or 5

This is an excellent story. What happens when those you trust most, betray you in the worst way? It’s a question asked from both the heroine and hero, however each reacted in completely different ways. Aidan O’Connor reacted with pain and anger and retreated to a place of isolation. Leta, a Goddess, instead turned to protecting the innocent to keep anyone else from feeling the pain she has. Now Leta finds Aidan as the innocent who needs protecting. But it maybe Leta who pays the ultimate price.

This is an interesting, fun, sexy, fast read. While it is part of a series and connected to Kenyon’s Dark-Hunters, it does perfect as a stand-alone or entrance into her worlds. There is also a special short story at the end that is a perfect little gift for those us who have followed Kenyon for years. Once more Ms. Kenyon has delivered a romance that will touch you, make you smile and leave you wiping tears from your eyes. This is sure to be a treasured addition to my keeper shelf.

It does have a more Christmasy theme and time frame, but I do believe I'll be rereading it at other times. Fans of Scrooge, A Christmas Carol, and other version of the old tale are likely to find Kenyon's UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR a refreshing look at things. I truly enjoyable way to spend a few hours.


I'm so used to writing reviews I tend to write even in my journal as if I was writing a review for www.theromancereadersconnection.com. LOL

A great new book from a favorite author

1. Which psychic power would you most like to possess?
As this is a loaded question in my family, ummm, probably be better able to feel, see, or sense the spirits that surround us. I think seeing the future would be to much responiblity for me.
2. If you could see the future, what would you like to see?
What my kids futures look like, if the world will find peace, what the next lottery winning numbers are?
3. Imagine you woke up one day and could shapeshift - what would you shift into?
Oh I'm greedy, I want to be able to shift into a bear or an eagle. Either one would be awesome!!! I don't know though, ya know a roach will live through the bomb, so maybe a roach would be better? Ewww never mind that just made my skin crawl.
4. What kind of a paranormal creature would you invite over for dinner if there were no limits on who you could ask?
Kenyon's Ash? I can't have him, hum......I'm not sure maybe a Selkie or a little people, or the fey, or....if it could be anyone I'd probably want to see if my grandmother and grandfather's spirits could stop by.
5. Which future innovation do you wish would hurry up and get here already? i.e. flying cars, a transporter, computers with artificial intelligence, an auto chef?
See here is where I differ. I don't really want any of it to hurry up and arrive. I think the more that stuff we get the more problems we have. Not that I don't love my computers, DVDplayers, etc. It's just I have no desire to rush any of it. Well, maybe something that would allow my kids to look at someone and know if they mean them harm.
