Victorian undead II: Sherlock Holmes v/ Dracula
Wonderful graphic novel. There are 2 classical stories: Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde and Dracula. In both stories Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go after the monsters, kill them and save England. I hope that there will be more books. The art is wonderful too.Bones: Bones to ashes
Sorry to say that this book wasn't very exciting which is a 1st for Kathy Reichs books. Maybe it was Tempe's obbsession with her childhood friends was put me off the book. Crossing fingers that this is the only not so interesting Reichs book.Evernight: Stargazer
The 2nd book in the Evernight books is even better then the 1st. Bianca is rebelling against her parents and the vampire community. She dosn't want to be a full vampire. Bianca also discover that while her parents want her to be a vampire, there are wraiths (not the Stargate Atlantis kind but the ghost kind) that want her to diseand become a wraith. At the same time Bianca try to find why the school is suddenly addmiting human students and why those students and not others. The book ends with Bianca finding shelter with a group of vampire hunters who except for her boyfriend Lucas, don't know that she is a live vampire.Scarpetta: Cruel & unusual
Although I can't put down the Scarpetta books, they are so far following the same formula: Scarpetta is going after a serial killer and find herself threatened by the killer. Unlike the previous books, although Scarpetta and Marino discover the identity of the killer, he manage to run away and is not cuaght. I'm now reading the next book in the series and Scarpetta & co. suspect that he is behind the new murder in that book.Evernight - Claudia Gray
I found the 1st 3 books in the Evernight series in Stimatsky's bargain bin, decided to give them a try and doens't regret it :)The beginning of the book is in the same formula as other supernatural young adults books: A teenage girl usually in a boarding school, discover that she isn't a normal teenager and have paranormal powers, or falls in love with a super natural being passing himself as a human teenager. But at the middle of the books we discover that as I suspected from the school's name, Evernight is a boarding school for vampires, and that Bianca herself is the daughter of 2 vampires and knew about it since she was old enough to understand. Although she is alive, Bianca has fangs and hunger for blood. She is supposed to one day kill a human and become a full undead vampire. Till then she is looked down by the vampire students and has to keep her true nature a secret from her human friends.
The books is unputdownable and belongs to the WOW list.

Dark Visions - L.J. Smith
This is a collection of the trilogy. It's unputdownable and a candidate for the WOW list. The formula is the same as in other yougf adults vampire books. A teenager that find that she has magic / psychic powers and falls in love with another magical being like vampire or fallen angel.Scarpetta: All that remains
This is the 3rd Scarpetta book and I'm starting to see a pattern: Again Scarpetta is chasing a serial killer. With the help of Lt. Marino and her friend Abby she discover that the killer is an anonymous book seller, and not all the characters in the books that I suspected.Buffy: Mortal fear
The 1st Buffy book that read that is taking place long after the Scoobies graduated from highschool. The book shows the down side of an A.I. gaining sentinence. Buffy finds herself all alone running around Sunnydale trying to vanquish demons sent there by the mysterious Simon. All the while Simon is controling Xander & Willow. Only Spike is there to help Buffy.40 pages are missing from mycopy but it didn't hindered me enjoying the book :)
