#1 Masquerade - Amanda Ashley.

Masquerade didn't capture me fully. Don't get me wrong, it was a lovely story of a difficult love trying to be made real, but something was missing for me. Jason ws the typical tortured soul, making decisions for his innocent lover instead of with her, leaving her 'for her own good'. I did like the twist in the end (view spoiler)[the fact that her tears was the key to reanimating him (hide spoiler)] It was a new angle in the vampire genre (at least as far as the books I've read thus far). It actually reminded me of (view spoiler)[Fawkes and Harry in Chamber of Secrets (hide spoiler)]

#2 Dark Dream - Christine Feehan

The healing scene which took place in Dark Dream actually brought tears in my eyes. I felt the wealth of emotion that was poured into the words. (view spoiler)[I was worried for Falcon, heartbroken for Sara, felt Mikhail's guilt and the deep connectin of all the Carpathians. "Sara watched the Prince giving his blood, far more than he could afford, yet he waved the others off and gave until he was weak and pale, until his own brother forced him to replenish what he had given. She watched each of the Carpathians, strangers to her, giving generously to her lifemate, reverently, paying a kind of homage to him (hide spoiler)] Christine Feehan has made me a believer.

#3 Midnight Serenade - Ronda Thompson

At first I wasn't sure if I liked this story or not. Until I found myself so invested in their love. In fact, the most beautiful part of this story was reading the emotions that played through Rick's mind as he decided that he would sacrifice his soul in order to save Stephanie's. I'm now curious to read Call of the Moon to see Jason's own struggle with the curse.
