Suzy’s Place

I have been introduced into the life of Bella, a “misfit” teenager struggling to find balance (quite literally) as she falls in love with the most beautiful boy in school - who happens to be a vampire.

While Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight saga falls more into the “Young Adults” category, I have to say the story intrigued me. It was a little hard to find the rhythm of her voice at first, I chalk this up whole-heartedly to being too involved in JD Robb’s stories.

However, it didn’t take long for the story to grab me and pull me through rather quickly. In fact, I have found myself losing sleep the past few nights as I was too captivated to put them down. I managed to read all three of the books within the series in one short week. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the fourth and final book, Breaking Dawn, which will be coming out on August 2nd.

I am an avid reader by nature.  I have always enjoyed reading.  It almost becomes an obsession - like everything else I do! 

The flavor of the month is J.D. Robb and her "In Death" Series.  This is a series where the main heroin is on Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD.  The setting is fairly futuristic, taking place in 2058 where interplanetary travel is a way of life and everything is handled digitally.  For being futuristic, it’s definitely believable!

Eve Dallas is part of the homicide division, and in every book of the series, there is another murder to solve.  On top of everything else, Dallas has her own demons to battle and perhaps a knight in shining armor to help her?  Not likely.  Her personality is more the type to knock the knight on his butt before she’ll ask for help.

You need to start reading with Book One.  The personal aspects of the story build upon themselves and starting in the middle of the series may throw you off.  I’m on the 20th book right now - but there are several more for me to read so I plan on having reading material for the whole summer.  Chances are I won’t review every book as the entire series has been a great read for me, and I’d be afraid of giving away any of the personal elements that build up. 

If you like murder mysteries and heroines with a kick-butt personality, these books are a must read!
