Also has a very good story

RAVENOUS is the first book in the Horde Wars series and as such sets the stage for all the books to come. It is from Ellnora's Cave and therefore you have some idea what to expect. Not only is it a very senusal read it is a very good story. Earth is in the middle of two factions. It is the battleground in a war against the Daemon Horde. The Shikar have battled the Horde for centuries. Now a human woman has come to the attention of the leaders of the Shikar. She is Cady Swann. When she was 15 the Daemons killed her parents and devoured her brother. Since, she has used the psychic powers she has, to fight the evil. She is able to sense the monsters and has learned to kill them. Obsidian is the leader of one of the best groups of warriors and has been sent to bring Cady to the center of the earth where the dimension they occupy is located. This arrogant male is stunned and his interest is captured by the beautiful, firey woman. Although the book was almost to hot for my tastes, the story was excellent and I had to buy the rest in order to see what happens. Each book is complete in itself. Each novel tells the story of one of the members of the Shikar. I liked the paranormal asspect and the plot is wonderful. If you like science/fiction fantasy with a hot sensual relationship, these books are for you.

Laurell K Hamilton Meets Joss Whedon

Okay, so we clearly see Sherri L. King's admiration of Laurell K. Hamiltons kick ass heroine Anita Blake, and also, Laurell K. Hamilton's sex-kitten kick ass heroine Princess Meredith. We also see Ms. King is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer (either/both Movie & /or T.V. Series) fan. But what we also see is a very talented and created individual who can take elements of both Joss Whedon & Laurell K. and NOT steal their work and try to pass of the creativeness of these two authors as her own. When I first began reading images of Buffy flooded my mind. As the story progressed it became clear Ms. King had, infact, read Laurell K. Hamilton and I began to dread I had purchased a (albeit GOOD) book imitating other GREAT books written by better authors. I am ecstatic to say I was mistaken. Yes, there are elements that raise the eyebrow (anyone notice The Travellor was eirily similiar the The Queen's Darkness? or that Cinder bares a strikingly similar physical description of The Killing Frost?) But alas, it matters not, all of Sherri L. King's characters come into their own. Besides a few nods to Anita & Buffy (gotta love that Browning) the book is entirely Ms. King's. Faced paced & action packed. If someone wasn't dying (and goodie, its typically the baddies) then someone is getting some action in the bedroom if you know what I mean. Whoa-yeah. Excellent characterization. For me personally, it is the most important aspect of a book. Well, that and the ability to actually write as if you are addressing an adult and/or literate audience (as, sadly, not all erotic romances do). I was becoming weary of the genre after reading a few godawful books recently. Desperate to find an erotic romance that dared to go beyond campy sex and/or dialogue so bad and patronizing that I often sought out a silk stocking not to bind myself to my bedpost but to hang myself from my chandelier. Won't name names ... I'll be good. . . . for now anyway. Basically, If you like the sassy-but-deadly wise-ass heroine's created by Laurell K. Hamilton and you can deal with the stoic faced tongue-in-cheek dialogue of Joss Whedon's Buffy - Well, this is the book for you. The lead character Cady Swann is a woman unto herself and darn if the romance genre, especially erotic romance, NEEDS a strong independant woman who can sink her teeth into nearly seven foot warriors and come out with, not only a wisecrack, but pearly whites still intact and grinning with girlish delight. And the men DO make you want to sink you your teeth... and visa versa (cough-cough). Anyone familiar with Johanna's Lindsey's ShaKa'Ani Warriors will want to read this one just for the hot men alone! Forget the fabulous heroine. I basically loved everything about this book. From beginning to end. I picked it up at 7:30am and finished it at 9:30am. Went online and purchased book II in the series. Now I have to wait (oh the agony) to continue the adventure. So will use my brain (and all the money in my bank ac

Mmmmmm

I loved this book and I will definetly buy the rest of the series. It has everything I love in an erotic novel. Sexy men, wonderfully erotic sex scenes, and plenty of action! It was well worth the read. This novel blended blood/gore/action/sex into one steamy kick-ass novel! It is about a group of hunters that happen to be aliens, that track down demons and kill them. On earth this woman also has psychic powers and she also tracks and kills the ones that have started showing up on earth. That attracts the sexy alien hunters and they approach her about working with them because something evil is afoot...and so begins the horde wars.

Hot action, hot heroes, amazing heroine..

Get ready for a fast, hot ride into a world were the things that go bump in the night are real and there are amazing, more than mortal heroes who are willing to battle back the creatures of the night. I loved Cady and Sid's story, and the following tales are every bit as wonderful. But this isn't a sweet romance...it's a wild, wonderful, thrilling ride to true love.

Highly Entertaining Funny and Erotic the right mix

This is one very hot read. Romantica ( Paranormal )at its best with larger than life characters witty humour and strong savy heroines.. I have read all of Sherri L Kings books and this one is one of my favourites. For anyone who loves a bit a humourous wit qirky comebacks very very erotic loves scenes and hunky masculine hunks this has it all...
