  • Vampire Interrupted

    Title:

    Vampire Interrupted (Argeneau Vampire Series #9)

    Author: Lynsay Sands

    Genres:

    Vampire Romance, Parnormal Romance, Romance

    Summary (from publisher):

    After seven hundred years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She’s training to be a private investigator, and her first assignment is to find an immortal’s mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realizes she’s in way over her head.

    Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite, and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s his lifemate and he’s determined to woo her. It’s been over five hundred years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven’t changed. Now if only he can keep her alive—so to speak—so they can have that happily-ever-after.

    Tea:

    Harney and Sons “Organic Earl Grey Supreme“

    Review:

    Nothing unexpected with the tea. Unlike what happened to Marguerite…

  • Crocodile on the Sandbank

    Title:

    Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody Series #1)

    Author: Elizabeth Peters

    Genres:

    Mystery, Detective, Women Sleuths, Historical Mystery

    Summary (from publisher):

    Amelia Peabody, that indomitable product of the Victorian age, embarks on her debut Egyptian adventure armed with unshakable self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course, a sturdy umbrella. On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run by the Emerson brothers-the irascible but dashing Radcliffe and the amiable Walter. Soon their little party is increased by one-one mummy that is, and a singularly lively example of the species. Strange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy-and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last . . .

    Tea:

    Adagio “Earl Grey Moonlight“

    Review:

    Excellent tea and superb book. Will be diving into both again and again and again.
