Summary: Amanda, a powerful and evil vampire, wants to be queen. Will she succeed, or will the more civilized vampires stop her?
Thoughts: This book was kind of hard for me to get through. It wasn't the type of book I usually choose to read, and it was very long. It wasn't scary or creepy, just gross- lots of violence and flagrant sex. There was humor, but it was not the type of humor that is funny to me.
The characters in the book were developed and interesting. The book was organized, easy to follow, and easy to understand. The plot was one that has been done over and over, but the characters did add to it, making the story more interesting.
If you like stories about vampires that are a bit humorous and don't mind disgusting scenes, try this book. The two authors have separate vampire series and this book combines the two. For a book that combines two series, the authors did a fabulous job bringing two worlds together. If .you are like me and like more creepy vampire stories, this is not for you.
Tea: Organic The Skinny
Obtained: purchased
Today I tried Organic The Skinny from Davids Tea. The ingredients were oolong tea, pu'erh tea, ginger, orange peel, eleuthero root, and natural flavoring. There was a medium caffeine content. The leaves were thin browns and blacks of all lengths with off white chunks mixed in. The tea leaves had a wonderful orange and ginger scent. I poured about eight ounces of boiled water over about 1.5 teaspoons of leaves and let this steep for four minutes. The liquid was a dark orange brown with an earthy scent in the forefront and orange in the background. The taste was full bodied, yet refreshing- a blend of earthy tasting tea, orange and ginger. The Davids Tea website states this tea is good for digestion and increases metabolism. I really enjoyed this blend from Davids Tea. This along with Organic Mother's Little Helper have been my favorites from this company so far.
