Wolf Fever is another winner of a story that kept me on the edge with its unique master storytelling and plot. There are villains of different flavors and degrees that prevented me from guessing which way Ms. Spear was going to go. I enjoyed the brisk dialogue and the insights it gave me as I read. I liked Carol and Ryan as a couple and Ryan’s sister is a hot ticket. The quality of writing is as strong as ever and a must read for paranormal wolf fans who enjoy a romance laced with humor along with great suspense. It sure made it a hard to put down book. For me, I didn’t want to stop reading, even when it was time to go to bed. Who wants sleep when they’re in the middle of reading a story by Ms. Spear? Her writing is pure entertainment.

Thanks to Xeranthemum for making my week! And considering how I've been feeling after the TOOTH implant, I needed something to make me smile...even if it hurts to do so.
You know how nurses will ask what level of pain you're dealing with from 1 to 10? Mine was way off the scale, batting more of a thousand. ALL my teeth were hurting on the right side of my head, even my ear was aching I was in so much pain. And the bleeding wouldn't stop. I was in tears yesterday, not sure if it was due to some of the medicine or strictly the pain, but I was totally miserable. I had to even drive back into town to see if the bleeding was all right, and get a stronger pain medicine. I'm the type that rarely takes anything more than an over-the-counter pill, even if I have a splitting sinus headache, I often don't bother taking anything--just because I can't bother to stop what I'm doing to take something for it. But this time, I couldn't ignore the pain. *sigh*
So much for this being less traumatic than having the cracked molar pulled.
Yesterday it was ice packs, today heating pads. Instead of a pointy chin, I have a square jaw--on one side. I look like I'm sucking on a watermelon. Hmmm....how can I fit this experience into a story???
Unfortunately, the pain is kicking in again, and though I was hoping I could sleep later this morning, I was up at 5 AM again. Taking the pain pills makes me nauseous so I ate half a bagel to try and coat my stomach a bit. The good part is that I really can't go to work again today as badly as I feel. And that means that I can work on some of the interviews I need to do for the blog tour. The bad part is what if they don't make any sense? LOL :)
Off to take an antibiotic and write another interview. Have a super Friday!!! TGIF!!! And hopefully over the weekend I'll have enough of a break that by the time Monday rolls around, I'll be feeling more or less normal. Hmm, less normal...is that like...paranormal?

Terry, I'm so sorry for you and your Pain. You just helped me decide I'm having my teeth pulled and getting a denture. No implants.
YIKES. Good reason to stay home and recoup. And WOW great review. I'm getting excited ABOUT Wolf Fever. Carol and Ryan will be so much fun. Being my son is Ryan. It'll be fun reading about another Ryan. I bet you could have gone to a Halloween party with out a costume. Rest and take it easy.
Ah, I wonder if that's why I liked the name Ryan, Donna???
The other lady who works full time with me called to tell me she'd be in late. I told her I wouldn't be in at all. The dull ache continues. I'm sure once the swelling and pain go away, I'll be fine with it, but man, this is not the picnic he eluded to. Although in a way, I'm glad I thought it would be no problem, or I would have been really stressed out beforehand also. On the other hand, I would have made better work plans. I'm thrilled you're getting excited about Wolf Fever! I'm working on the 2nd blog interview, and then it's back to The Wolf and the SEAL. :) But I'm definitely staying in bed to work on stuff, except to reheat a heat pad, and get some more hot tea. I need to start doing saltwater rinses too.
I'd be doing Cold packs. To bring down inflammation. Even though warm sounds better.
I'll have to tell you about the psychic reading I had last night when you feeling better. Very interesting and spooky. This guy knew things about my brother that died 18 yrs. ago yesterday.
The said cold helps to close up the incision, but warm after that to reduce the swelling. Anyway, it's even more swollen. I didn't keep my breakfast down either. I need to take one last pain pill for tonight, but I'm afraid to. The weird thing was, I was doing fine when I was lying down to write. But when I began moving around to fix lunch so I wouldn't get sick and get another heat pack ready, that's when I got extremely nauseous. And that was all she wrote.
*sigh* I don't think I"ll make it to my coworkers party. Not if I'm still haven't to take pain medication. I was hoping I wouldn't today, but I can't sleep without it.
I can't wait to hear about your story! I did get 7 guest blogs done today. :)
I'm really sorry to hear about the tooth issue..sounds painful. Let me know if there is anything I can do. As to the review: YAY!!!! Congratulations >doing a happy dance< and what a fab cover!!! You ROCK!!!! :)
Thanks, Autumn. I hope I'm not making so many mistakes on my blogs as I am on my comments. LOL
I'm in pain!!! This morning at 4:30, it started in again, but I had to get up and eat first, and wait until I have something on my stomach before I take anything. argh. Waiting in pain....the longer I wait, the worse it will get, but if I don't wait, I'll end up losing it all anyway....this was not supposed to be that bad!!!
