Bad Hair Day (Kate Grable #2) by Carrie Harris: Review

Bad Hair Day (Kate Grable #2)
By Carrie Harris
Published November 13th 2012 by Random House Publishing
Pick up your on copy at Amazon, B&N, or your local indie today!
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Senior year is positively hair-raising.

Kate Grable is geeked out to shadow the county medical examiner as part of her school’s pre-med program. Except when he’s arrested for murder, she’s left with the bodies. And when Kate’s brother Jonah stumbles upon a dead gamer girl, she realizes that the zombie epidemic she cured last fall was only the beginning of the weirdness taking over her town. Someone’s murdering kids—something really hairy. And strong. Possibly with claws.

Is it werewolf awesomeness like Jonah and his dorktastic friends think? Kate’s supposed to be a butt-kicking zombie killing genius...but if she can’t figure out who’s behind the freakish attacks, the victims—or what’s left of them—are going to keep piling up. It’s scary. It’s twisted. It’s sick. It’s high school.

Darkfallen's thoughts:
 
This was a funny, hilarious, tale of werewolves that only the geeky Kate Grable can pull off!

Kate Grable is just trying to get back to her normal nerdy, everyday life since finding a cure for the zombie epidemic that took over her town. I mean yeah, sure, there is your random zombie from time to time. And the once "under the radar" geek, Kate Grable, is now famous and being interviewed by CNN. She also has a boyfriend, which she has absolutely no idea how to deal with. But things where starting to get back to normal. That is until an unknown killer is shredding their victims in what looks like a animal attack. But Kate knows it's something more than that and she is determined to figure out what. Who would have thought it would be werewolves? So know Kate is trying to find the time to not only have a boyfriend, study, get into college, but find a cure for the werewolf inducing nanobots before she herself is lost to wolfdom.

This was by far the most hilarious werewolf read ever. I know it comes at no surprise that I love a good werewolf read. I do...I really, truly love them. This was the first one that had me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants on more than one occasion. Kate Grable may be a nerd but she has a second calling at stand up comedy if her life as a doctor doesn't pan out. I fell in love with her humor in Bad Taste In Boys and my love for her only grew in this second installment. I loved seeing her with Aaron and watching how she handled her relationship with him. You couldn't tell she just didn't know what to do with a boyfriend and it was too damn cute. Then you've got Aaron that completely adores her, and she doesn't even know it. I loved that no matter how Kate freaked out he just seemed to roll with it. Most guys would have run away.

Overall this is just an all around great read for anyone. I highly recommend you read this series. It's a refreshing break from the "so serious" that your used to in paranormal ya genre these days.

Heartless (Parasol Protectorate #4) by Gail Carriger

Heartless (Parasol Protectorate #4)
By Gail Carriger
Published on July 1st 2011 by Orbit
Pick up your copy at Amazon,B&N, or your local indie today!

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Lady Alexia Maccon, soulless, is at it again, only this time the trouble is not her fault. When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband's past. Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement (shocking!), Madame Lefoux's latest mechanical invention, and a plague of zombie porcupines and Alexia barely has time to remember she happens to be eight months pregnant.
Will Alexia manage to determine who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it is too late? Is it the vampires again or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf's clothing? And what, exactly, has taken up residence in Lord Akeldama's second best closet?

Darkfallen's cup of tea:

Gail Carriger has done it again, and I have to admit I don't know how she does it! Every time I start one of these books, being the under appreciated person of all things old that I am, I always wounder...
Will this be the last one for me?
 Will I make it through all the old time slag?

First off you have to understand something.
 See me-->girl who hates black & white movies, or what I also refer to as faded color, and yes that means most 80's movies are out for me
 *the crowd gasps*
 I don't do westerns, I don't do Victorian.
 (cept for my choice in houses, then Victorian becomes my fav)

So is this going to be my last Steampunk book?

 ABSOLUTELY NOT!

 While I may not ever pick up a series by a different author I will greedily read anything Gail writes. Why you ask?

Because just when I think maybe I'm done with this series, Gail leaves me with my mouth agape, in a manner better suited for catching flies, rather then in semblance of anything dignified. Untoward I proceed to insert my foot!
See Gail MUST be a good writer if she cane make me talk all proper;)

Alexia is back up to her old ways...but OMG has things twisted and turned in an unbelievable series of events!
 I NEVER would have guessed this series to take me where it has but yet here I am left standing in the middle of downtown London, Woosely taking on a whole new purpose,
 (of which I am slightly heart broken over)
 wondering where we are going to end up next and not knowing if there is enough tea in the world to accommodate such a long wait!
 And throughout the entire journey I found myself both laughing out loud and falling in love with some unexpected characters. I love how some of the side characters are being brought to the forefront! I so cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

Alexia do be a dear and send for Floote would you? I fear this wait is going to acquire his services as far as tea is concerned.
 lolz
