No stranger to the supernatural world, Ava Markham is prejudice against it none the less… until one fateful night when she gets attacked by a vampire.

Another hot read from Christine Warren. In "You're So Vein" she finally gives us the story of Ava--the most high-maintenance diva of all the original 'fantasy fix' girls. Ava has an issue with Others, so imagine what happens when she's attacked by a vampire, saved by another vampire, and then finds herself falling in love with her savior? Let's just say, "It ain't pretty."
Warren writes with a lot of humor and much of it is also bitingly sarcastic (which I adore More...

^^ THIS ONE PUTS THE ITCH IN BITCH! ^^
The 7th book in the Others series was actually quite good, with Ava not being my fave character on the grounds that she was always a bitch, drinking too much hatearade. Finally she gets her own book and she was exceptionally funny and quite ironic that the things she has hated she become one. IN THE FACE!!!!!!!
I am not gonna go into details about others, they are supernatural beings our vamps, wolves, witches blah More...

Good read. For those of us who started with the world of the Others back in the Fantasy Fix ebook days [fyi: Fantasy Fix was rewritten as One Bite With a Stranger] it's good to finally see Ava fall. Her sarcastic 'Queen Bitch' attitude is alive and well - even though it takes a hit when she is violently turned from human to vampire. Her teeth-grinding suppression of her prejudices and fears of the Others community, even and perhaps especially her dearest friends, makes becoming a vampire her

Christine Warren has created a world in which the “Others” exist; werewolves, vampries, shifters, demons, fae – anything you can imagine from your days of fairytales exist in the world created by Warren. Each book in the series The Others tells of a specific person in this world – most we see in other books that interact with characters we read about, some exist solely in one particular book and we don’t see him or her again in the rest of the series. You’re So Vein tells of Ava Markham, a prej

I'm really not reading this series in order, I keep missing books and I'm not sure why.
Ava Markham is beautiful, savvy, chic, and more at home with Kate Spade than with the idea of fangs and fur. She can’t get quite used to the fact that some of closest friends have crossed over to the Other side.

I really did like this book. I love the series and I have not had any problems with any other character as much as I did with Ava. She irritated me so bad in the last book with Reggie, that the second I found out this book was about her, I brought it back to the library. I forced myself to start reading it again after about a month without it. I loved Dima, but Ava really irritated me through the book until she realized she was being a spoiled rotten brat and making everyone around her miserable

Book 7 in The Other series. Paranormal Romance.
I liked this book less than the others in the series. I felt that the story wasn't very engaging or exciting. Simply put, not enough happened. I didn't like either of the protagonists . . . and I didn't really hate the antagonist. Not enough happened for me to care about the characters much. There also wasn't enough interesting interaction between the hero & heroine to explain how they fell in love.

This is part of the "Others" series, and so far it is my least favourite. This was because it was quite slow at the beginning and then alot of things happen all of a sudden at the end and before you know it you have reached the last page. Also, although the character of Ava Markham, the heroine, was quite well realized, both from her appearences in the previous books and the characterization in this book, the character of Dima, the hero, wasn't very distinct. He was a bit of a flat coo

I would call this my first disappointment from Christine Warren. I have very much enjoyed all of the previous books of The Others series (with a minor let down in "The Demon You Know"), but this one did not grab me at all. First and foremost, my major issue was with heroine Ava Markham. I didn't like her. At all. Nope. Flawed characters are great because most of the time you get to see their redemption, or their hidden softer side, or the terrible reasons that made them as they a

Ava Markham is successful, savvy, chic and happy to be human. As the world of the Others intrudes more and more into her life, she finds herself clinging to her humanity. This all changes the night she sneaks out of her freinds house, because she feels like the lone human in the room, and ends up attacked by a vampire. Unfortunatly Ava isn't the kind of woman to sit by and idly let a vampire kill her, so she bite him in an effort to leave a mark on her killer. Even with such a small amount o

This book had promise but went nowhere. It had good bones for the characters but really didn't flesh them out. The big bad vampire woman could have been really evil and crazy but unfortunately we didn't get to meet her until way at the end of the book. Way to much time was taken up with ava and dima in bed. Also the conflict with ava becoming a vamp against her will could have been developed more. Also her friend attitudes about her becoming a vamp, they knew she didn't like the others and yet t

Ugh. There's nothing like snappy modern gal-talk spilling over from a main character onto the doting males around her to Mary Sue a story right out of tasteful legitimacy and right into fanfic land. The concepts, and indeed the terms, used are taken directly from other books which created and dealt with them better and sooner. Do yourself a favour and pass this one up so you can start reading Sunshine.

I think it's really hard to like a book when I don't really like the main character. I know we're supposed to grow to like her, but I didn't, and the attraction between Dima and Ava is there, but there is no love. It's like they just are attracted to each other and then they're in love, the back story got more attention than their story, which is unusual. Idid like the "others" who were in the background (Missy and Graham, Tess and Rafe, Noah got a guest spot, and even Reggie and Mi

I quite liked the male lead and Ava could have grown on me slowly but they jump into the sack far too quickly with very little build just because they fine each other irressistable after approximatly 12 concious hours together if that.

It was pretty good, except Ava got on my nerves basically constantly; her 'I'm better than everyone else and all the Others are evil and stupid' attitude that she had for almost the whole book annoyed me to no end.

Ava Markham, one of the girls in the "in" group, is a sarcastic bitch, who only the other girls love. All their husbands tolerate her because they don't want to upset their wives. She has deep seated reasons for her obnoxiousness - dysfunctional childhood, international model when she was 13, so everyone wanted a piece of her, etc etc.

Ava Markham and Dima Rurikovich is a fun and exciting pairing. Drama, yes, it does have that in spades. If you like a bit of excitement,a shifter or two (course,what's not to like,really)than this one bears checking out.
