Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman ★★★★☆

"When night came down on Whitbrow it came down hard. It came down like an army that had been waiting for the chance to sack and plunder the roost of its ancient foe." 

Blue Moon (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #8) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★☆

Oh, I wish it was not true. Richard is my least favorite of “the sweeties,” a proper pain in the ass.

That said, this was a great story!

The Lunatic Cafe (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #4) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★★

She gave that rich, bedroom laugh again. “I am alpha, Ms. Blake. I can do a great many things that most shifters cannot.”

The Werewolf's Christmas Wish (Nocturne Falls #4.6) by Kristen Painter ★★★☆☆

Yes, it’s a cheesy got-my-man-for-Christmas story. But I still liked it because it was also a beautiful woman telling a man she didn’t care that he was broke and picking himself back up, she wanted the whole package. The whole hot-as-hell werewolf fireman package, lol.
