Cocktail Society Book Club

I'm hosting the March book and drink. 

If you care to join us we would be happy to have you. Stop back by on March 7th for review and discussion.

Each month, the members of the Cocktail Society Book Club reads a book that was selection by that month's host and then meet back here, on Cocktails and Books, to discuss it on the first Wednesday of every month. For each book, we'll have an associated cocktail, because why have a Cocktail Society if we aren't going to drink!!!

Sound fun? Join us and see what fun it is to have a cocktail with your book!

Join the Goodreads group as well.

Start reading book 2/9/12 and finish by 3/7/12

Blood Rights (House of Comarré #1)
by Kristen Painter


The lacy gold mapped her entire body. A finely-wrought filigree of stars, vines, flowers, butterflies, ancient symbols and words ran from her feet, up her legs, over her narrow waist, spanned her chest and finished down her arms to the tips of her fingers.
Born into a life of secrets and service, Chrysabelle’s body bears the telltale marks of a comarré—a special race of humans bred to feed vampire nobility. When her patron is murdered, she becomes the prime suspect, which sends her running into the mortal world…and into the arms of Malkolm, an outcast vampire cursed to kill every being from whom he drinks.

Now Chrysabelle and Malkolm must work together to stop a plot to merge the mortal and supernatural worlds. If they fail, a chaos unlike anything anyone has ever seen will threaten to reign.
