Bitten, Stolen, Dime Store Magic and Industrial Magic by Kelley Armstrong. All part of a Women of the Otherworld series featuring werewolves, witches and demons. Not startlingly well written but enjoyable and the characters grow on you.

Hunting The Hunter by Shiloh Walker. Average. A vampire novel / romance in the Anita Blake theme. A bounty hunter is obsessed with finding out what really happened to his partner in a dark alley - and avenging his death. What a pity his partner is alive and well and working with the Hunters to rid the world of evil - with his unbelievably hot partner Kendall.

Under a Wild Sky by Sasha Lord. Atrocious, don't ever, EVER pay money for one of her books and don't ever pick up a free one either. Historical Romance whereby a mystical forest princess who can speak to animals joins forces with an anguished Scottish Laird to [cough] soar to pinnacles of exquisite pleasure in a warm, tropical Scottish ocean current. [sigh] Badly written and badly scripted.

The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey. Average. A young woman finds herself apprenticed as a Fairy Godmother when her destiny as a Cindarella is thwarted. The Tradition magically shoves people into desired storylines and she must protect her people by identifying them and helping where she should; obviously close proximity to Princes (given her own original storyline) is a problem so she turns the most annoying one into an ass and takes him home.
