This book is the second in the trilogy, picking up where the first left off. Howell takes us deep into the world of the Orcs. Here we witness the strength of matriarchs within this strange society. Dar takes many risks to find her way in this world. Just when it seems she has found a place for herself, she must risk it all in order to save her new kin. I liked this book even better than the first!

Here is the latest in Kelley Armstrong's "Women of the Otherworld" series. As with the other books we follow one of Armstrong's "fringe" characters in her own adventure. Jaime Vegas is a necromancer, who has made a name for herself as a medium. She is on a job for a television special to raise the ghost of Marylin Monroe, when she stumbles onto a situation that she's never encountered before. She relies on the help of friends old and new help the helpless.
Fans will be happy to see Jeremy Danvers finally come into her life and make his move. I recommend reading these books in order as characters and storylines from other books are often referenced.

This book is the autobiography of Daniel Tammet, an autistic savant. Daniel's being a savant is enough on its own to make him a rarity, but add to it that he suffers from autism and its quite a remarkable story. While few people who suffer from autism will experience the independence and successful social relationships that Daniel has, his story is still an inspiration.

Darkling is the third in this series by Yasmine Galenorn. In the first two books we are introduced to the D'Artigo sisters who are half human/half fae. They have left their world to work "Earthside" for the Otherworld Intelligence Angency.
In Witchling the oldest sister, Camille, introduces her family and we learn of the circumstances that brought them here. Changeling is the second book, told from the perspective of the middle sister, Delilah, who is a werecat.
In this third book, Menolly, the third sister who happens to be a vampire tells her story. While each book has similar banter and wit, Galenorn does a pretty good job of giving each sister her own "voice."
As with the other books, the sisters find themselves fighting an enemy that threatens the existence of human and non-human kind.
An enjoyable adventure with plenty of "paranormal romance" thrown in.

While described as "paranormal romance" I would categorize this as "paranormal erotica!" Not that I'm complaining. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and found Bast's world of witches to be intriguing. There was enough going on that the "intimacy" didn't detract from it.
I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.
