Book Trailer Thursday (5): Savage Nature

Book Trailer Thursday is hosted on The Quill Cafe blog. 

My trailer this week is for the latest book in Christine Feehan's Leopard series entitled Savage Nature.

I haven't read any of the books in this series but I have heard good things about the author and the series so I decided to look for one of her book trailers and came across this one. It has a sultry and mysterious atmosphere that pulled me in and now I am off to Goodreads to look up the series and probably add it to my TBR.

Let me know what you think of the trailer and/or the books.

Book Trailer Thursday (4): Darkness Chosen

Book Trailer Thursday is hosted on The Quill Cafe blog. 

My trailer this week is actually for a series of books by Christina Dodd called Darkness Chosen. The series includes the following books: Scent of Darkness, Touch of Darkness, Into the Shadow and Into the Flame.

I've read the first three books in the series and really enjoyed them. Christina Dodd's style of writing makes it so easy to become immersed in the story. I especially enjoy the mythology of the series, which is so different from any other paranormal romance I've read. The Wilder siblings (the hero/heroine on each installment) belong to a family whose ancestor made a pact with the devil and as a result they can shapeshift into various predator animals. Their branch of the family wants to break the pact or their father will be cursed for all eternity. In order to do this, they need to locate and join 4 holy relics scattered across the world.

I am really looking forward to reading the last book in the series and will definitely be reading more books by Christina Dodd.

Let me know what you think of the trailer and/or the books.

Book Trailer Thursday (3): The Boneyard

Book Trailer Thursday is hosted on The Quill Cafe blog. 

OK, so I love books about serial killers and recently discovered Michelle Gagnon's Kelly Jones series. My book trailer of the week is for the 2nd book in the series The Boneyard.

Beware! The trailer may contain some disturbing scenes.

I had put this book on the back burner for a while but after seeing the trailer decided to bring it forward. So I'm off to the Kindle store to get it. The trailer is quite simple with interesting police themed music and no voice over.

Let me know what you think of the trailer and/or the books.

Book Trailer Thursday (2): The Keepsake

Book Trailer Thursday is hosted on The Quill Cafe blog. 

I am a Tess Gerritsen groupie so my trailer for today is for the last book of hers that I read: The Keepsake.

Beware! The trailer may contain some disturbing scenes as it is about a serial killer who mummifies his victims. Don't say I didn't warn you, lol!

The trailer gave me the chills due to the combination of the spooky music and the narrators cold and clinical voice. What do you think? Is it effective?

Note: Since this book, Gerritsen has written two others in the Rizzoli & Isles series: Ice Cold and The Silent Girl (out in July, 2011). I hope to read and review them soon so stay tuned.

Book Trailer Thursday: Arcane Society

Book Trailer Thursday is hosted on The Quill Cafe blog. 

To participate, on a Thursday you post an entry in your blog with an embedded book trailer of your choice (note: the trailer can be fan made but please no movie trailers of book adaptations) with your thoughts and comments underneath. It can be a book you have read, want to read or have never even come across before.

I only discovered book trailers recently and found myself intrigued by the concept.

So here is the first one I found interesting...

I am currently on book #3: Sizzle & Burn. I am enjoying the mythology underlying the series as well as the fact that the books take place in different time periods. The historical ones are written under the author's pseudonym, Amanda Quick, while the contemporary tales are written by Jayne Ann Krentz. 

I'd love to know what you think about the trailer and/or the books.
