Cat Lady Lori

Hello all I'm Lori. I guess you probably figured out I love to read. I don't even watch TV anymore, because I'm always reading.
I love Horror, Mystery, Romance, Urban fantasy, Historical fiction, Suspense...well you name it I probably like it. Right now I'm reading mostly urban fantasy, but I go through phases where I read one genre a lot,...more »

  • Untamed: A House of Night Novel (House of Night Novels)
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Another great installment in the House of Night series. I feel like Zoey is growing up a bit and I love the friendship between her and Aphrodite. The conflict with Neferet finally comes to a head, but we still have to wait for Hunted in March to find out what happens. ”

  • Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1)
    • Rated 3 stars

    “For the most part I enjoyed this book. It was a fast read with a interesting new world. But I found the lack of explanations about how this new world came to be annoying. There were lots of new ideas about vampires and necromancy, but not a lot of back story. I plan on reading the second book in the series. Maybe it will explain more.”

  • Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)
    • Rated 4 stars

    “*SPOILERS*

    I must say that I am very surprised with Breaking Dawn. I didn't see any of that first 360 pages coming. With that said I love that Bella and Edward got married and Bella didn't pitch any fits about the wedding. And Isle Esme was amazing. Then the story took a dark turn that I don't think anyone was expecting. What made me love the series so much in the first place was Bella and Edward's love, and that in my opinion took a backseat ride in this story. I was a little disappointed that the story was more plot driven than character driven. I'm overall happy with the way the story turned out. I was very shocked at Jacob imprinting on their daughter, but now that I think about it I shouldn't have been. I'm happy that everything turned out happily ever after. I look forward to maybe more of Jacob's story in the future, but I'm still a little sad that it's actually over.”

  • Sunshine
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Wow! What a story. It was very different than anything I've ever read before. I was expecting more of a 'love story' but the world it takes place in definitely makes up for it. And it will also make you hungry :) I wish there was a sequel.”

  • Nineteen Minutes: A Novel
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This was the first book I've read by Picoult and I loved it! What an amazing story. I felt so sorry for Peter, and I really wanted a happy ending...but I don't think that was possible. I had read that the ending was a surprise, but I wasn't that surprised. Would recommend!”

  • Chosen (House of Night, Book 3)
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I really like this series. It's fun and fast to read. I think Chosen was the best installment yet. It had a few surpises and it leaves you wanted more. So I'm looking forward to Untamed this Fall.”

  • The Other Boleyn Girl (Boleyn)
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This is one of those books that you still think about after you have put it down. At work I would find myself thinking about Mary and Anne and what terrible thing could happen next. Philippa Gregory makes the characters come very alive.
    I knew very little of this period in time, and I think it made the book more interesting. Now I want to know everything about the Tudors.
    All in all I loved the book, definitely something I will read again in the future. And I'm going to read all the other books by Gregory very soon. I can't wait for the movie, but I'm sure it won't compare to the book.”

  • Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, Book 1)
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I looked at this book for a really long time before I finally read it. I have to admit that the cover is what made me a little iffy on reading it. I was pleasantly surprised though. The character ideas were very different from most paranormal/urban fantasy books I've read.
    This is a series that will probably get better with each book.”
