Book Series Sunday - Cassandra Palmer Series by Karen Chance
Book Series Sunday will be my weekly posting highlighting some of the amazing book series that I've come across over the last few years. I know there are hundreds out there, but these are my uber-ultra favorite.
Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits;talents that make her attractive to the dead and the undead. The ghosts of the dead aren't usually dangerous; they just like to talk; a lot. The undead are another matter.
Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the bloodsucking Mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection. The undead senators won't help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire—and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay.
Summary from back cover
First, let me say don't judge a series by the first book! When I first picked up this series - I started with the second book, Claimed by Shadow and I really, really liked it. I didn't do it on purpose - I was just so enthralled by the summary I had to read it. However after seeing the reviews for the first book I was confused. How could the second book be so much better than the first? After reading Touch the Dark, it gave me important answers that I was missing and I could understand some of the other reader's comments. BUT - I still liked the first book. Either way, the good news is - after the first book, the series gets much better.
Chance is a great writer and even though this is a series, each book has a true ending -- so you're not left hanging on pins and needles waiting for the next book. Sometimes, that's refreshing in a series.
So take a chance on the Cassandra Palmer series (sorry I couldn't resist) - you won't regret it.
