Goodies in the Mail

When my twelve year old son came in the house with not one but four packages all marked for me, oh yes, I squeed!

Movie/Blue-ray wise

The Slayers Revolution: Season 4
Now anyone that knows me know how much I love this anime. You have your action, magic, swords, and comedy.

You have the red head Lina who is rather flat in the breast department (don't say that to her) but she is a very talented and destructive sorceress.

Then there is her companion/bodyguard Gourry who excellent with the sword but not much up there in brains (psst and I do so hope they become a love interest)

I have Slayers, Slayers Next, and Slayers Try. I have to get Season Five. The Ultimate Slayers fan would.


What other goodies did Rao get?


Death's Sweet Embrace by Tracey O'Hara - I bought this book because Tracey has the same music tastes as me! I was floored when I seen her answer a question with an Inkubus Sukkubus song! Then to learn she likes Within Temptation and Nightwish, yup she sold me. However I should have "thought" and got the first book. Oh well I can rememdy that hopefully by next week.

Book Synopsis: After centuries of secret conflict, humans and parahumans have reached an uneasy truce. But unspeakable evil now threatens the tenuous peace.

Teenaged shapeshifters are being slaughtered by a sadistic serial killer who rips their still-beating hearts from their paralyzed bodies. A task force forms to halt the madness, including the vampiric Aeternus Antoinette Petrescu, as well as Kitt Jordan and Raven Matokwe, members of enemy Animalian tribes . . . and forbidden lovers.

A centuries-old blood feud has divided their shapeshifting peoples, and if their passion is discovered it will doom them both. But past hostilities must be put aside, for the killer they seek is but the first sign of the all-consuming nightmare of The Dark Brethren.




Black Wings - Christina Henry - What can I say it looked so good when it was promoted so I snatched it. Plus I think someone recommended it.

Book Synopsis: As an Agent of Death, Madeline Black is responsible for escorting the souls of the dearly departed to the afterlife. It's a 24/7 job with a lousy benefits package.

Maddy's position may come with magical powers and an impressive wingspan, but it doesn't pay the bills. And then there are her infuriating boss, tenant woes, and a cranky, popcorn-loving gargoyle to contend with.

Things start looking up, though, when tall, dark, and handsome Gabriel Angeloscuro agrees to rent the empty apartment in Maddy's building. It's probably just a coincidence that as soon as he moves in demons appear on the front lawn. But when an unholy monster is unleashed upon the streets of Chicago, Maddy discovers powers she never knew she possessed. Powers linked to a family legacy of tarnished halos.

Powers that place her directly between the light of Heaven and the fires of Hell...


By Possession - Madeline Hunter - Mel, an Aussie friend sent this book. We both forgot how she said I could have the book if I wanted it. I have the other books in this series so this helps me greatly.

Book Synopsis
A Common Lady

For years she had thought he was dead. Yet when Addis de Valence strode into Moira Falkner's cottage, there was no mistaking the sharp planes of his face, and the scar she herself had helped to heal. The young squire who had once been her hero was now her lord, a hardened man who returned to claim the son she had raised as her own. But Moira couldn't deny that Addis roused a passion she never thought to feel-and a perilous hope for a future that could never be....

An Uncommon Love

Addis returned from the Crusades to find his lands usurped by his stepbrother, and his country on the brink of rebellion. Determined to reclaim his birthright, Addis could not afford to be distracted by a woman-even one as tempting as Moira. Yet the only living part of his contented past lay in Moira-and his desire for her was more dangerous than his deadly battles with the king's men. By law, Moira belonged to him...but possessing her heart might be far more difficult.

Don't miss any of Madeline Hunter's enchanting trio of novels... where love blossoms among the splendors of 14th-century London.
