Heat Stroke by Rachel Caine and the July Book Blowout Wrapup

This is my sixth and final book in the July Book Blowout. My goal was 8, and I didn't quite make it. I do have one more book half-read, but the way my life has gone today I won't get to it.

Heat Stroke is the second book in the Weather Wardens series. I absolutely loved the first one. This one was also good, but for unknown reasons seemed to take forever to read. I love the uniqueness of the plot on this, there isn't really another similar series (that I've heard of.) The characters, while having unique abilities, are similar to those from other series. How many strong, determined, independent heroines have you read? Regardless of this, I did enjoy the book, and will continue to read the series.

I'm not saying any more, because I don't want to give anything away to anyone who hasn't read the first on. I find series books hard to review well for this reason. However, if you're a fan of urban fantasy, go ahead and pick the first one up, they're great books.

Mrs. S at Blue Archipelago has posted a short wrap up survey to the July Book Blowout. Here are my answers:

1. Did you discover a new author? Yes- Jossilyn Jackson and Nick Hornby

2. Where was the most unusual place you found yourself reading? In the Taco Bell drive through.

3. Did you read more than usual? Not more than I used to, but more than I have lately.

4. Did you give up anything in order to read more? Blog surfing!

5. If you won the Amazon voucher what would you spend it on? Amy Butler's In Stitches, I think. Or Keurig k-cups.

6. Would you like to see a 2009 Book Blowout? YES! Or even a winter and summer one.


Thanks Mrs. S, for hosting.
