This weeks teaser is from....

Darkfallen's teaser...
"They exist in a world that's beautiful, normal, where people have jobs and dreams that don't involve a hatchet. My world is a parallel universe to theirs-the same sights, same people, same city, yet the Fenris lurk, the evil creeps, the knowledge undeniably exists."   page 109 

and Darkfallen's heart continues to fall apart...

Greta's teaser...
                 "The Dragonflies laugh, sweet, and bubbly, and I groan in exasperation. They toss their hair, stretch their legs, sway their hips, bat their eyelashes at the club's bouncer, everything about them luring the Fenris. Inviting danger like some baby animal bleating its fool head off." page 158        

These Dragonflies just have no idea that they lure in monster they don't even think exist.

Oh to be so innocent;)    

Now c'mon...Tease us!

I Luv Halloween, #1

Title: I Luv Halloween, #1
Author: Keith Giffen
Artwork: Ben Roman
Published: 2005
Synopsis from Goodreads

This time it's not just about the candy... Join the misadventures of a group of particularly disturbing trick-or-treaters as they go about their macabre business on Halloween night. Blaming the apples they got from the first house of the evening for the bad candy they've been receiving all night, the kids plot revenge on the old bag who handed out the funky fruit.Riotously funny and wickedly shocking, artist Benjamin Roman and comic book vet Keith Giffen have crafted a sometimes sick and always twisted tale about a holiday that some of us just can't live without--who doesn't love Halloween?

The Plot:
It's Halloween and a group of boys are going out trick or treating.

The Even Deeper Plot:
Because their candy is sucking they decide to try to break that curse and do bad stuff to adults.


Holy snapple de bapples!!


How do I explain this book?


Think of every horror movie you've ever seen.
Now think of every horror movie cliquey
Now throw in some Ed, Edd, and Eddy type kids
Now take some acid....


THAT!! Is what this book is like..


ZOMG!


Ok... so while this book is hilarious and gory and full of 'wtf' moments (A boy dressed up as a tiger in the sink watching a neighbor and her big boobles while he......) it is kinda sick, disturbing, and totally a cool guilty pleasure.


But I do NOT want any kids reading this book!!

But there are kids on the cover!!

Yes yes... there are kids on the cover but this is STRICTLY an OLDER teen or an GOWN UP book. I think my 14 year old would be ok reading this but since I read it it now makes me squeemish to let him read it.

Its not because of the gore... that's fine... its because of what the boys talk about and do. I know I know... that's older boy stuff but e-gads!! It makes me shudder to think of him UNDERSTANDING those kinds of jokes. ACKS!

All in all... good guilty pleasure book but keep this one away from the kids.

Chibi Vampire, Volume 3 (Karin #3)




Title: Chibi Vampire, Volume 3 (Karin #3)
Author: Yuna Kagesaki
Published: 2006
Synopsis from Goodreads

As Kenta helps Karin study for her school exam, the two start becoming closer. But when Maki catches sight of them and asks if they are going out, Karin protests! She needs time, especially when she feels like she's starting to overcome her blood issues around Kenta. But a new problem is about to surface...and the odor is enough to make a vampire run to daylight!





I'm still very much enjoying this series but this was probably more filler than the last 2 books. Hopefully that means the next book will be fantastic because we have the extra stuff out of the way.

We got to follow Kenta's mom around the LOVE HOTEL in this volume. As she folds sheets, drags an old school girl uniform out of the trash, and befriends a teenage run-away prostitute.

We also followed Anju to school where she found out where Boogy, her lost doll, had gone off to. OH! And there is a fantastic story that revolves around Boogy. I really enjoyed that. It was very impressive and original. It actually would make for an awesome book!

Karin is still trying to stay away from Kenta but his mom is starting to loose her mojo so it might be time to do the bite bite again. BUt oh noes! Ren is actually digging the back to her old self mom and is thinking about bite biting her just for himself.

OH WHAT WILL THEY DO!

I was pleased that there was more Ren action in this book and even though he was still close to ANJU it didn't give me that FORBIDDEN SPIDEY SENSE i had in the last volume.

THe problems I had with this book is well.. Karin's boobs have gotten bigger. Like what the duce happened?!! They look engourged and stuff!! I'm hoping the pop those sweater puppies in the next volume but I've seen the cover and I actually think they might even be BIGGHER! AHHS!

Also, there is some side boob drawing action. No nipplage but just be warned if you know... you have little ones reading it.

There's also a tad bit of cussing that seemed to be out of place in my opinion...but hey... I guess that's trendy.

All in all !! Nosebleeds are great and creepy dolls with knives are even better!

A great series!
