Nota Bene #2
Nota Bene means note well in Latin and I'm fairly sure that in my
student notes on lectures there was always a huge amount of NB notes
that would have marked the important phrases or passages which in turn
would pop up on a quiz or exam later.
I had this thought to introduce this feature for new and old releases of ebooks
I'm interested in to bring your attention to them too. We'll see how it
goes, but if you're interested in it please let me know and of course
you are welcome to share it.

Summary
What would you do to win
your freedom? This is the question that sets bondwoman, Martise of
Asher, on a dangerous path. In exchange for her freedom, she bargains
with her masters, the mage-priests of Conclave, to spy on the renegade
sorcerer, Silhara of Neith. The priests want Martise to expose the
sorcerer's treachery and turn him over to Conclave justice. A risky
endeavor, but one she accepts without hesitation--until she falls in
love with her intended target.
Silhara of Neith, Master of Crows, is a desperate man. The god called Corruption invades his mind, seducing him with promises of limitless power if he will help it gain dominion over the world. Silhara struggles against Corruption's influence and searches for ways to destroy the god. When Conclave sends Martise as an apprentice to help him, he knows she's a spy. Now he fights a war on two fronts--against the god who would possess him and the apprentice who would betray him.
Mage and spy search together for a ritual that will annihilate Corruption, but in doing so, they discover secrets about each other that may damn them both. Silhara must decide if his fate, and the fate of nations, is worth the soul of the woman he has come to love, and Martise must choose continued enslavement or freedom at the cost of a man's life. And love.

Summary
Jude Magdalyn Henries
lives what many would call an unconventional life.Orphaned at birth,
raised by nuns, a teenage runaway living on the streets... she now earns
a living at odd jobs, including one as a fake tarot card reader. Very
little about Jude's life appears normal, by any scale. When she accepts a
gig to do a private reading, unconventional takes on an entirely new
meaning.Life as she knows it ends when she's thrust into a world she
never knew existed-one filled with magic, vampires, and her beloved New
Orleans on the verge of an underground war. To make matters worse, she's
got two men in her life vying for attention, Williams and Theo. Both
call to a different part of her, but one scares her just a little bit.
Can she step up to the challenges set before her and make the right
choices for the "greater"greater good"?
Another book highly recommended by a friend. Did anyone read it already?
Summary
After three hundred years of unlife, vampire Zara Lain has seemingly done it all, and she's now making a living as a successful thief-turned-assassin. Her newest assignment seems simple enough--kill the aging leader of the O'Connor Coven and his only heir, and she'll have another ten million in the bank.But in the dangerous world of the supernatural, few things are ever "simple."When a massive assault decimates the continent's population of powerful witches and warlocks, and its orchestrator has vampires being hunted down and captured, Zara realizes the tables have turned and now she'll be playing the hero. Forced to join with a smart-mouthed fellow vampire, a demonologist who's also a fan of hers, a recently widowed--and frequently brooding--warlock, and her best friend's mom, Zara's grudgingly willing to do what she can to save the day.If only people would stop ruining all her outfits...
I know Melissa loves this author, and it's on her recommendation this book ended on my wishlist.
Summary
Thick-skinned vampire assassin meets smart-mouthed druid archer. Run, Cupid, run.
Shane Hewitt has been many things—failed husband, supernatural punching bag, and now a bitch to the vampire council of New York City. He thought killing rogue vampires was the hardest thing he’d ever do. Until a hot redhead smashes into him, shouts orders and announces she’s saving his life.
The sole female warrior in a family of druids, Siobhan O’Malley knows how to take care of herself and protect the big city from beasties who breach gateways from the fae realm. The last thing she needs is a misguided, leather-clad hottie’s help to get the job done.
Except maybe he’s exactly what she needs. Siobhan is expected to be a willing, virginal sacrifice on her twenty-fifth birthday. Sex with Shane to stay alive? If he can pull his foot out of his mouth long enough and stop driving her crazy, no problem.
Now if only the bad guys would leave them alone long enough to get the deed done.
Warning: Contains a wee red-headed archer with deadly aim; a leather-jacket-wearing vampire hunter with a habit for saying all the wrong things; and a life-saving ritual that will leave them both panting.
