I've read both magic bites, and the sequel, both were amazing. I just bought the third one and as soon as I get a chance I'll be reading that.
Right now I'm reading Dark Lover by J.R. Ward (so far so good) and Kiss of Fire by Deborah Cooke (good beginning, but starting to drag a little).

I love the Kate Daniels series! I admit that it initially took me a couple of attempts to get into Magic Bites, but once I got through the first 50-75 pages, I was hooked. And Magic Strikes is my favorite release of the year so far. Excellent!
Oh yes... the Kate Daniels series. I'm obsessed with this series and the author. I loved Magic Bites, from beginning to end, I was completely hooked. Magic Strikes was simply divine! :)

I picked the book up this afternoon, and once I got past the middle (about 50 pages) its back to great.
i just finished reading Magic Bites by ilona andrew an...WOW.it was great. i'm goin to read the next book now. i hope its better. and i LOVE curran! i dnt know why :D
Mwahahaha - you love him because he's The Beast Lord - and there isn't anything not to love about him. He just keeps getting better. Enjoy ;)
well i hope that he and kate get together. i know the series aint about romance, but still it would be good. i especially love how the 2 always banter, them havin a relationship may ruin that entertainment 4 us. anywho wat do i know, i havnt even started the 2nd book yet so who knows right.
The Beast Lord is great! *sighs*. Magic Burns is even better than Magic Bites and you'll definitely enjoy it.
Ah, I read Magic Bites a couple months ago and have been trying to get to Magic Burns ever since, but other stuff always gets in the way.
But I will read it in May, I swear! I can't wait. In fact, I think I'm going to stop at B&N on the way home and get Magic Strikes as well. I have my nifty little 10% coupon. I'll save 80 whole cents!
Shazzy wrote: "Nichole, you could use Magic Burns for your monthly challenge. :)"
Actually, I did! I had picked it for April's challenge, actually, but had to switch it with something else because I bit off more than I could chew, but I'm bound and determined to not put it off again.
Just finished reading Magic Burns and it was great! cnt wait 2 start Magic Strikes :D or i mite just read Wondrous Strange by Lesley livingston first. decision decisions...
Well, I only just got Wondrous Strange, and haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I can heap tons of praise on Magic Strikes! ;D
I'll second Magic Strikes! Wondrous Strange looks pretty good, it's in my Amazon basket with another 20 books!
Im currently reading Dance Upon The Air by Nora Roberts. I've never read a Nora Roberts book before and I didn't think I was going to like it, but so far its actually pretty good its about witches.
Kelly, I love that trilogy! I'm a big fan of Nora Roberts, she's written quite a few paranormal/supernatural trilogies.
i finally finished reading Magic Strikes and is was AMAZING. by far my favourite book in the series so far. cant wait for the next book to come out.:D
hehe, glad you liked it. I thought it was awesome. Made me laugh and made me cry. Definitely one of my favorite books of the year. I'm just gutted we have another year to wait for Kate 4. =/
I read Lover Avenged over the weekend. It was amazing!!! (of course j.r. ward can do no wrong in my eyes) I'm trying to finish up Nightlife, and while it's good, I'm just not in the mood to read it for some reason. I think I'm going to crack open The Awakening tonight instead.
Shazzy wrote: "Kelly, I love that trilogy! I'm a big fan of Nora Roberts, she's written quite a few paranormal/supernatural trilogies. "
really? I had no idea she wrote any paranormal type of books. I thought all of her books were the mushy-love story kind. heh, I guess I've been in the dark. I'll have to check out more of her books cuz I like this one alot. Im almost done with it.
Nora Roberts has some really good paranormals (although they do tend to run more towards the lighter-love story end of the spectrum).
My favorites are the Gallaghers of Ardmore/Irish Trilogy and Donovans.
Kelley, the last 4? series that she's released had a paranormal theme. She mixes it up quite a bit. She also writes the 'In Death' series as J.D. Robb and that's set in the future. My other favourite series is The Circle trilogy: Morrigan's Cross, Dance of the Gods and Valley of Silence.
That's good to hear about the Nora Roberts books. I've got the Morrigan's Cross trilogy and her first JD Robb book - although I have yet to get around to read any of them.
I love her In Death series! I created a J.D. Robb group on GR last year, Roarke is so dreamy! LOL
DarkHeart, let me know what you think of her books.
i finished reading the awakening in a day and it was great. the charecter really started to develop more espacially chloe and derek. really one of the best YA books out there. i have just started reading Red-Headed Stepchild by jaye wells. i'm not sure about what i think of it yet as i'm only on chapter 3 but hopfully it will get more interesting.
I have 20 books to choose from this month and i'm not sure which to choose! Maybe i'll close my eyes and point at one! LOL
I've nearly finished Thunder Moon by Lori Handeland and i've also started Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole.

Darkheart, i've put Any Given Doomsday on my birthday list, i've heard lots of good things about it. I've read most of her Nightcreature series, Thunder Moon is probably my favourite book, Grace is hilarious!
I loved all of the Nightcreature books, but so far the Doomsday books keep getting pushed down on my to read list. Maybe I'll have to finally read them this month.
LOL, your ever changing picture keeps throwing me, Shazzy.
I read Any Given Doomsday back in December when it was one of the books of the month for the B&N paranormal group. She sat in all month and answered questions and talked about the book, which was cool. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the next one in the next couple of weeks.
Sorry! LOL, I came across the picture today and I had to use it as a my avatar, it's so funny!
That's great that she sat in, i'm sorry I missed that.
I read the first 3 in the fever series by Karen M Moning. I really liked them and can't wait for dreamfever.
Morganville vampire series and 13 reasons why. 13 reasons why was great. Morganville's new book is almost out
I'm going to a Rachel Caine signing in London next week and had been hoping for an early sneek at Carpe Corpus, but from an e-mail I got today, it doesn't look likely. I'm desperate for that book - that and the next Vampire Academy. ;)
Oh, and maintaining my love of YA, I'm reading City of Bones. I'm enjoying it so far. Finished Wondrous Strange yesterday and was sadly underwhelmed. I know a lot of people loved it but it really just didn't work for me for some reason. Not bad, but not great. I much prefer Melissa Marr's work.
DarkHeart wrote: Oh, and maintaining my love of YA, I'm reading City of Bones. I'm enjoying it so far...I've read all of cassandra clare's Mortal Instruments series and let me tell you, they are all great. each book just gets better and better. Clare really know how to maintain her books to a high standard. and there is also a good development of characters. Hope you enjoy it!
Ok, so its been along time since i've read a book which i literally couldnt put down....u kno wat i mean? I started reading Fragile Eternity but its just going too slow for me. it seems to drag on, like nothings getting resolved. So i've moved on and now i'm reading A Rush of Wings by Adrian phoenix, and so far so good :)
Hmm... I'm sory to hear you aren't enjoying Fragile Eternity. Seth and Niall were my favorite characters, so having a book focused on the former, and containing a fair amount of the latter - was all good for me. ;) I absolutely adore A Rush of Wings though, so I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
I'm guessing the silence and lack of activity in the group is because we've all got our noses stuck in a book.lol. BTW Once Dead, Twice Shy by kim harrison comes out today. I'm gonna have to wait or get my copy from somewhere else coz I dont think its out in the UK yet...bad times :(
Heh, I'm listening to Bitten on audio and enjoying the narration so far (although Clay never sounds southern in my head - even though I know he should). Also reading C.E. Murphy's Urban Shaman.
Sarah, Once Dead, Twice Shy isn't released until July 1st in the UK. It's so annoying that the UK release dates are later than the US dates.
oooh, i loved C.E Murphy's books, the negotiator series. its ashame there are only 3 books.Shazzy wrote: "Sarah, Once Dead, Twice Shy isn't released un July 1st in the UK. It's so annoying that the UK release dates are later than the US dates. "
I know, thats whhat i hate about living in the UK...we're so behind! oh well, you guys are gonna have to let me know if its any good
Too many books, too little time. Now that finals are over I may finally have time to work through the ever growing piles of books cluttering up my room.
I have to say Clay never really sounds Southern in my head either. Maybe it's that the phrasing doesn't match with how I grew up hearing a southern accent.
