"The Gift" by Lynsay Sands: I'm only 4 deep into Lynsay Sands's Argeneau series so I was unfamiliar with some of the characters, but I still liked the story.
Jeaniene Frost's "Home for the Holidays" is a great Night Huntress story. Actually, I think I liked it more than the last full novel. The typical Kat and Bones chemistry is in full force and with the addition of all of Bones's vampire friends it's an exciting read.
