Book #65 - Conspiracy Game by Christine Feehan - In some ways Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker series seems so much like a pale echo if her Dark series. They both have extremely Alpha-male men courting (or falling madly, deeply, truly in love with) women who want to stand up to them and want to be dominated by them. I do like the Dark series better because, well, vampires, but this series is definitely growing on me. That said, I liked Jack and Briony as a couple and I like how interconnected all the Ghostwalkers have become to one another. I did think that Briony went from being a fierce, strong female lead to someone who is described as "submissive" more than once. It was sort of sudden and jarring, but I just kind of went with it. I can do that sometimes. Which leads to ...
Book #66 - Deadly Game by Christine Feehan - This is the story of Jack's twin brother, Ken, and Briony's twin sister, Mari. You know when you have a thing that gets you every fucking time you read it? One of my fool-proof kinks is when the big, strong hero is incapacitated in some way (ie, memory loss, being buried alive for 10+ years, etc) (what? People get buried alive for years. It happens. Plus, I read a lot of vampire books. Vampires can totally survive that!) and they have to work through that incapacitation to reach some degree of normalcy. Well, Ken had been captured and tortured by some enemy or another (in Conspiracy Game no less) and now he had to find a way to get back to leading a semi-normal life. Or at least get back to being a world-class, psychic sniper who runs black-ops missions and has been genetically enhanced. Anyway. That's one of my fic kinks and this book really worked for me. The only jarring part was that I felt like Mari adjusted too quickly to being free after spending her life as a lab animal/soldier for the evil and slightly insane Dr. Whitney. I think there could have been several more chapters to this book and I wouldn't have minded. Obviously there's major set-up for later books. Hell, an entire lab full of psychic, enhanced women escaped into the great unknown. Now the Ghostwalkers will have to find them and bring them in to keep them safe from Dr. Insano. Cool.
For the record, I read #65 yesterday and #66 today. I did have to work, you know. I couldn't spend all my time engrossed in my fascinating books.
My wrist has been killing me all day today. Blah.
Did I mention that I have a camera guy coming in to the branch on Wednesday to do a bit more filming? Specifically of me interacting with my tellers and other co-workers. I have been informed, in no uncertain terms, that I have to wear a suit. I'm against this. After 15 years at the same bank it makes me feel like I'm giving in to the man or something. I've always resisted wearing a suit. I have a feeling that once I do it one time I'll be hooked. I'll be wearing one forever. There goes my knee high boots and skirts. My awesome polka dot shirt and honey-beige pants. How sad. I'll try to resist. And if I do falter, I promise to use my powers for good, not evil. I swear it. With pinkies and everything. I swear!
Cole and I watched Psych earlier. So funny!
I'm off. And, wow! This is a lot longer than I thought it would be.
