UPS Made It

So, as I was leaving yesterday to go meet Claire for a drink, I noticed that sometime between 4:00 (when I checked last) and 4:30, UPS had left my box of books by the front door. Thanks for ringing the doorbell, bud. 

As I came home last night, I had the choice of two books that I am looking forward to reading. I chose the Kresley Cole book, Dark Needs at Night's Edge, because Rachel originally got me hooked on this series and I thought if I got this one read first, then I could pass it on to Rachel and then Jennifer.

Well, I'm ready to pass it on. I started the book when I got home last night and read until about 1:30. I completed the book this morning. It was that good.

This book is just as good as the three books that preceded it. The main character is a "fallen" vampire, Conrad Wroth, who is really a little crazy. He has the memories of all of the people he has taken blood from and so he has a little trouble determining what is real and what is memory. His three brothers capture him in the attempt to bring him back from the brink of crazy. Hey - there's that crazy theme again. 

While he is imprisoned, Conrad sees a ghost. He doesn't realize that she is real, but she craves to be with him because he is the only one who can see her. They build an impossible relationship.

I enjoyed seeing some of my favorite characters, especially Nix. "Nucking Futs Nix" is great.
