I have this waiting for me at the library. I loved her other book -- Pretty When She Dies

Oh good, someone can tell me how it is!

:) Lately I have been borrowing books and taking them back, I feel so picky/in a rut. But hopefully I will get to it!

Stacia! What do you think? I couldn't stop myself

Agh, I just sent you a message! I promise the next time I log on tomorrow, I'll be ready to discuss.

Choose your own adventure is my favorite (or in the top three anyway)!
Dude.

DUDE.

Why does this feel aimed at me??
"(...and if you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for? This book lives up to the hype.)"

Great review ;)

Yes, I specifically targeted you in my review, how did you know? I was sending out vibes of peer pressure. Okay, no not really. But you might be one of the last people who hasn't read the book yet of our "speshul" group. Angelfall really is epic. It's not word porn like DoSaB but still epic, nonetheless. And it's sexy. And full of action. And some horror (not much, just a little creepy scene near the end). And did I say sexy? Raffe = dayum.

Dude!! I need this book. Walking dead and Angelfall and you kept thinking the word DUDE. I'm all over it.

Great review, I love that you make me laugh while reading it :)

Thanks girl. I'm pretty sure you'll like this one, even if it's a little gory (although it's no different from WD in that aspect). But it's an easy read, which is nice. I was into it from the first page.

This is one of those books that I wish my husband would read because he loves WD. Even though it has side romances going on, there's enough action that I think it could work for guys who aren't into that sort of thing.

Okay, now I've gotta read Angelfall. ;-)

I'm curious...what did you think of Jenni with an I?

*gasp* another Angelfall virgin? I thought we were running out of those. It really is a good book, nothing like some of the half-rate mass-market angel books that are everywhere. It has something for fans of just about any genre because I think there was a bit of everything crammed into one book : action, adventure, survival, paranormal, mystery, horror, romance, etc.

Jenni with an i...I had a love/hate with her. I understood why she was needy but she was also very flighty and went off on everything half-cocked. One minute she was clinging to Katie, the next she was running around shooting things. It was hard to connect to her, even if I understood why she was so wrecked. The tiny fingers part of the book right at the start would have wrecked my head too. But I will say that (view spoiler)[I loved her with Juan. I'm glad she didn't end up with Travis. (hide spoiler)]

Aha! I'm not the last one!
I do have to get to it. I keep planning to but one thing or another gets in the way. =/

And UH...

I will even re-read the book with you. Not this month, so you're off the hook. But maybe sometime this year...

Angelfall book 2 comes out this year though, and I think a lot of us will be reading it when it comes out so if you get caught up we can all discuss it.

I will aim to TRY and read Angelfall next month or early Aug, so I can be in on the discussion.


HtKaR...you kill me with this one. It would have to be late this year, after I try and get caught up(which I never will). But yes, I will commit to reading it too. If you're willing to re-read, it must be better than I though.

Excellent! On both counts.

Stacia, Rhiannon has an excellent blog post about Jenni. Readers react strongly to her - I loved her and wanted to take care of her, but many people hate her -- anyway, you might enjoy it: http://rhiannonfrater.blogspot.com/20...

*Cough, The Bronze Horseman... Cough*

I also had a love/hate relationship with Jenni...she was part badass, part clingy wilting flower. I think what bothered me most was (view spoiler)[the fact that very little was actually written about how she thought about her boys all the time, etc. I wouldn't have been able to think about anything else (hide spoiler)].

Fun review, Stacia!

Regina, I just read the blog post you wrote. Thanks for that. :)

Tara, I had some of the same feelings as well. The post that Regina linked did explain why Jenni acts the way that she does.

Leea, it's up next on my list after I finish the buddy read with Crystal. I don't like to work on two long books at the same time and Crystal and I are both slowly working our way through the Locke Lamora buddy read. As soon as it's done, I'll be starting BH. It was either that or Sweet Dreams and I think I've killed myself by over-scheduling so many contemps, so a historical is probably a better fit.

Baba, thanks. :) These reviews take forever to write but they're fun to do every once in a while. Maybe in a couple of months I'll do a phase 3 adventure for another book.

I was completely joking... a little :) Carina and I are going to read the second book, Tatiana and Alexander next week.

I wish I could be done faster so I could join you but it's not going to happen. Ah well, can't get to em all. At least we'll have the Turner book.

Yeah, when are we reading the Turner book? ha! I'm the forgetful buddy partner, sorry!

It's okay. If you're reading the second Tatiana and Alexander book and I'm about to read the first, we can put it off to another week. I'm in no hurry.

Were we going to read the Turner book next wed? I really need to read a HR and i've wanted to read that author for a long time.

No i'll read Tatiana and Alexander after.

Depends. If you want to do Turner this week, I'll choose Sweet Dreams for my long book and push BH to after that. If not, I'll do BH first.

It's your call whether we do it this week or next. I'd just rather not do 2 historicals in a row.

I can't read Turner this week. I still have a 1/4 left in Storyteller. I'm so sorry, I feel like I let you down. I still want to read it with you.

You didn't. I have a ton of stuff that I can get to and a few scheduled reads. Nothing wrong with waiting.

Well I'm now going to chapters for this book... :)

Hope you like it!

Now that's a review that does this book justice. Fantastic Stacia!!

Aww, thanks. :)

Another resounding success! (er...the review, not the book, since I bombed early in the game)
