Nikki from Co2BL

I love to read and I try to write witty and spunky reviews with my partner in crime ~ my other half of the '2' in Co2BL :) If I don't have my kindle or a book in my hands, it's most likely filled with my camera :)
Pleasures Untold - Lisa Sanchez Second in the series, Pleasures Untold is just as awesome, if not more so, than the first. Full of action, lots of magic, demons galore and sexual tension the likes to send your heart a fluttering. Oh, and one Bad Ass chickadee witch hell bent on avenging the deaths of her mom and grandmother. We're talking kicking ass and taking no prisoners, Martha is one of my new favorite leading ladies! Having been dealt a statistic hand, witnessing the murder of her mother at the tender age of eight, by the oh-so-psycho vampire Lucien, she perseveres and even though she has to live a life in hiding, disguising her appearance from the world, she's also plotting. Planning for the day she will face off with the Über monster himself. And girl does not plan to lose! She's been getting in lots of practice over the years by hunting vampires and demons that would prey on innocents. Practice makes perfect right?! :)

Enter Xan, or should I say McVampy! ;) At first glance Martha assumes he's just this ultra mega hottie bartender who lights her panties on fire where no other man has before. She's one part excited her girly bits aren't broken, one part wary of Mr. Hottie and after he comes to her rescue in an alley smack down with a couple vampires, one part Oh Hell No! After a few more encounters, it becomes clear McVampy.. err.. Xan is not your average vampire. He's actually a good guy and is there to help Martha in her mission to bring down Lucien.

Throw in a bunch of Barbie wannabe bitches, a few zombies (eww) and the most awesomest understanding best friends a girl could ask for, plus another super hot warlock, and we have one hell of a story!

I'm actually realy torn about which book is my favorite so far! I loved EoS but in PU there was so much action and the story was so well written and great! It was so fast passed and there was literally never a dull moment and I didn't want to put it down! Had I been able to, I would have read this all in one sitting! I have to give Ms. Sanchez some major props on her writing too! One of my all time biggest pet peeves is dialogue. I really hate when the characters sound like robots and unrealistic. Soooo not the case here! Lisa wrote her characters and their dialogue in such a way that it was very realistic and I think that really helped the flow of the story! I never had to reword lines in my head to make it make sense! (I hate when I have to do that in other books) All in all this was a fabulous read! I only have one complaint. There was only one teeny tiny mention of Ryann, from the first book. I just felt like since she befriended Martha before Jess did, that she would have a bigger part in this book. It was like Ryann never existed and that bugged me. But other than that I loved Pleasures Untold! And to be honest here, when I was reading Eve I had very little interest in reading book three, especially since the main characters had yet to be introduced. Since meeting them in PU, I have to admit that I am now very curious and can't wait to see how Taylor and Gabriel (mostly Gabriel, yummm) find each other and how their story will unfold! :-)
