Did I mention that these books are funny? Not stupid slapstick, but genuinely clever humor.

Billy is a ghost. He sometimes babysits Cassie's body when she's out of it. :D

This is the second or third time I've read this series, but once again I am in awe of Karen Chance's ability to seamlessly integrate legend, myth, and history into the urban fantasy genre. Cassie Palmer may very well be my favorite book hero of all time, simply because she's a do-gooder who cares about people and who doesn't allow that fact that she's not an ass-kicker stop her from helping them.

Book 2 of the Cassie Palmer series. Sexy, dangerous vampires, lethal war mages, weres, fey, ghosts, and a vamp-run casino on the Las Vegas strip called "Dante's Inferno". Urban fantasy at it's finest.

This is one of my very favorite book series, the Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance. If you like urban fantasy, you'll love it!

Starting the third book of the series tonight! :)

Rossi buckled himself into his seat. "It takes twenty soldiers to hold a linesman's hand?"
"Three linesmen, Rossi," Sale said. "Orsaya made us responsible for your safety as well."
Ru Li, one of Bhaksir's team, said, "That's why there are only two teams. We couldn't fit another team in the shuttle along with your ego."

LOL

Starting the sequel to "Linesman" tonight! :)

If you like sci-fi, you'll love this book. I couldn't put it down.
The concept is original and super creative. Plot moves along nicely with an energy that flows along with the events. Characters are lifelike and real, and the protagonist stays consistent to his nature throughout the story. The writing is simple and elegant; it's so good that it moves out of the way to present the story.
PS - If you read it, you'll find out what line 8 does ;)

That was DEFINITELY not the climax. Wow, what an amazing ending! If you like sci-fi, you'll love this book. I couldn't put it down.

Interesting that what I currently assume was the climax has occurred only two-thirds of the way through the book.

He sang as he worked. The deep, sonorous songs of the void - line none. The chatter of the mechanics - lines two and three. The fast rhythmic on-off state of the gravity controller - line four. And the heavy strength of the Bose engines that powered it through the void - line six. He didn't sing line one. That was the crew line, and this wasn't a happy ship.

"Real power isn‘t dealt in bullets, darlings, but in words. Words that stir a man to stand when all the rest have fled…to fight unwinnable wars, all for the sake of a thought. Every leader who made a difference didn‘t do it with a sword or a gun, but with a voice that might have moved a mountain."

"If you do everything we say, if you stick to the plan we‘ve made and follow the rules, maybe you‘ll do what no one else has been able to do in almost two hundred years: stand on the surface and take a breath of fresh air.”

Just started this book and so far it looks promising!
Love me some post-apocalyptic dystopia. :)
