What do You think about Tane (2012)?
I thought this book was awesome but at the same time it was a little disconcerting with the baby factor. Yeah, I'm going throw in a spoiler here.Laylah is mongrel. A mix between a Jinn and something else and Tane is not only a vampire but a Charon, a vampire assassin. He's known for being ruthless and never takes any mercy on anybody. He's just one bad-ass vampire and Laylah is really sweet and she has a very kind nature about her but the weird thing is she's been hauling around this baby that is inanimate, more like a doll, for the last 50 years. Sorry but that just creeped me out. I equated it with something Alice Cooper sang about back in the 70s.Anyway, Tane gets this and he helps her take care of this baby that really doesn't need anything to survive other than to be hidden and moved from place to place. Got it. It's supposed to the spawn of the Dark Lord and everybody wants to kill it except for Laylah who believes the baby is innocent so she's protecting it and then Tane is so in love with Laylah that he's protecting it, too.That was the basis of the story. But the end was really creepy because the baby was a Gemini, meaning twins, and the other baby was a girl and Laylah had felt no attachment to that child. She didn't even know it was there so it went down with Sergei in the portal and nobody really seemed to care. I guess either rescuing her or chasing her down for being evil is for another novel. This baby and that wimpy whiny Sergei who really is a bastard.I was glad when Marika was killed. She was wicked mean and death was too easy for her.Now, Laylah's mom is somewhere and the baby girl is somewhere and yeah, I hope it's covered in another novel. And let's not forget Caine and Cassandra and Ariyal and Jaelyn. The latter two went down the portal, too.Oh and I still love Styx the best. :) If I had to line up these guys by who is my favorite, I'd have to say Styx, Salvatore, Dante, Cezar, Jagr, Tane and finally Viper. It's not that I dislike Viper but man, that guy is vain. So is Salvatore but he's got a real good sense of humor about him and he had me laughing a lot.Anyway, just my two cents...

I truly like Ivy's Guardians of Eternity series. I do. I like it. Do I LOVE them? Not quite. It's hard to compare with JR Ward's Blackdagger Brotherhood. The books are building up the storylines of several characters (that is one thing I love about this series) and there is an ongoing "bad guys" storyline that has been built up over the past 2 or 3 books. In this book, the Charon vampire Tane chases after the Jinn half-breed Layla. Certainly nothing new and groundbreaking in their romance, but satisfying none-the-less. Layla is relunctant to be honest about her feelings for Tane but undoubtedly share a heated passion (which Ivy writes with utmost skill). While the ending wraps things up without really wrapping it up (meaning, there are at least 3 more stories to be written based on these loose ends), Ivy did fail to "wrap up" what Caine and Cassie were doing (hopefully they have a story coming?).Probably not my favorite book in the series, but a good read, and leaves me wanting to see what happens next.
