Dragons and Ghosts

I did read Dealing with Dragons, as well as the other three books in the series: Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, and Talking to Dragons. Kathy was right - these books are great! The characters are lively and well portrayed - they're people you'd enjoy getting to know. I'm amused by the method of melting wizards (apparently lemon juice is quite dangerous when added to soapy water). Morwen's cats were quite entertaining as well - and I must agree with her that although it might sometimes be nice to be able to understand what another witch's cat says, in reality it's probably a good thing they can't. The cat's are rather snarky and rude - but highly entertaining at times. I think my biggest complaint with these stories comes mostly from the final book (also a bit from the end of the third one) - I don't like the name Cimorene picked for her son; in my opinion Daystar is an odd name for a person. Although, I suppose the same could be said about the name Killer for the rabbit (I'm also amused by the transformations poor Killer went through).

Having finished that book, I went on to the next book in a different series I'm reading - the library just finished purchasing it (as I requested). This is Marley Gibson's book Ghost Huntress Book Two: The Guidance. So far I'm quite enjoying it, but I'm rather annoyed at Courtney and at Kendall's Mom - although I suspect both are intended by the author. In some ways this reminds me of the show Ghost Whisperer, but almost more as the early Melinda - only more of Melinda's family (especially her grandmother) was rather more supportive of her. I was also happy to see in the acknowledgements that I recognized one of the names of the author's friends in the paranormal community: Chip Coffey is cool. I haven't met him personally, but in some ways, after watching most of the episodes of Paranormal State and watching him in many of them, I somewhat feel as if I do know him. I can at least say I know of him, though.
