Hi Tara,
I've read all 3 of the series' you mentioned and loved them all. The Lynsay Sands and Kresley Cole seem to have more humorous romance in them. It kinda depends on the mood you're in! I think I would suggest Kresley Cole... she has strong, witty women heroines and some hot guys vying for their attentions!

I have to agree, it was a great book.

I made it through the book. Can't say I'll pick up the next one in the series but I'll read a summary on the author's website and see if it sounds better to me than this one. I gave this book 2 stars.

2016128 I started both Need (Need, #1) and Going Bovine this week. Need started off kind of boring and it was hard to get into because of all the dialogue and inner monologue and no description. But then I kept reading and it got really interesting. There's these glimpses that something isn't quite right with the town and the teenagers in it. I'm really curious to find out what's actually going on.

And I have a fear of looking out windows when it's dark out, I think someone will be out there looking back in! So, there's been parts where this book has creeped me out!

I'm reading Going Bovine at work and it's really funny but I haven't gotten far yet. I'm hoping things pick up for Cameron though because his life pretty much sucks and it'll get depressing to read about if things don't change soon.

2299608 I'm reading Master of Wolves (Mageverse, #5) by Angela Knight

2484386 i have started Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) today and i am loving it already

377112 I just finished Big Bad Wolf. It was pretty good. I like Graham, but the actual plot wasn't as entertaining as the previous books in the series.

I just started Midnight's Master (Midnight, #3). I have been looking forward to reading about Niol.

Thanks Valorie, I'm leaning towards Kresley Cole as well. Mostly because I think I will get those from pbs first.

1365355 Oh, Nita, Niol's book was good. Just make sure you're not reading it in public. You'll be blushing, LOL.


1113032 I just finished Deeper Deeper by Megan Hart. How do I feel about the book? I'm not sure... I keep asking myself, what was the point?


message 4211: by CJ (new)

1357098 Currently reading Mr. Darcy, Vampyre...it's definitely an interesting read. So far it's kept my interest and stayed true enough to the characters without me having to scratch my head - however, I hope some sort of understanding or something happens soon...


message 4212: by Emma (new)

2908089 I just finished THE HOST today, what a very intelligent creative book. I tried reading Sherilyn Kenyon's first book Fantasy Lover and the cringe factor was just too much for me, it was like watching a bad movie where you put the pillow upto your face through sheer embarassment. The writing was poor and amateurish. I did read all of it though, and have been told they do get better, although I read the second dark hunter and was equally not impressed. The Host alteast is a book that requires some intelligence, I highly recommend it and I kind of mourned its loss when i had finished it. I am going to read The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Seterfield next.

Yes, I have already read some of those blush worthy moments. Niol is one sexy demon.

I loved The Host. It was much better than her Twilight Series, IMHO, and I was thrilled to learn they are making a movie out of the book. Which I hope is done better than Twilight was.

2299608 I just started Ravenous (The Dark Forgotten, #1)


message 4216: by Shannon (new)

2016128 I started Born of Night (The League, #1) last night. I love that Nykyrian is already thinking with his cock on page 29 (Kenyon's words, not mine!) Lol. It's great because I was looking to read something dirty. ; )

2907567 I just picked up Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead... not quite sure the plot etc.. as i just got it today... Oh and seeing i just found out im a huge paranormal romance fan, as well as urban and dark fantasy... if you have any recomendations that would be great.


message 4218: by Louise (new)

2904170 I found tempted quite painful! There just doesn't seem to be anywhere else she can go with this series and there are still another 3 books i think! You really warm to Stark by the end though.


message 4219: by Louise (new)

2904170 I'm reading 'Storm Born' at the moment, liking it so far but want to see more of Kiyo in the book

Stick with it, it's a brilliant series and one of my favorites from the YA genre, hands down. (Other YA recommendations include Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires, Kelley Armstrong's Dark Powers, Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments and Holly Black's Modern Faerie Tales - I see you already have Melissa Marr's stuff).


1847538 I'm about half way through Jaz and Vayl's latest adventures in Bite Marks.

I love the cover of Lover Avenged. The male model looks nothing like the way Rehv is described, but is still totally HOT.

Louise, I want to see your opinion of Kiyo is the same when you finish the book.

I was thinking the same thing!




message 4227: by Amanda (new)

2665232 Right now, I'm reading "Shadowlight" by Lynn Viehl. It took a while for me to get into her prior series, but once I was in, I was hooked. But I'm having the same problem I had with the Darkyn series. There are too many darned characters! I've only read the first 7% (Kindle user, here) and already I'm having a hard time figuring out what characters are important.

This was a problem before, but I adjusted to the madness that is Lynn Viehl.


message 4228: by Felicia (new)

196094 I just started Night Play (Dark-Hunter, #6) and after that will be Stroke of Midnight (Includes  Dark-Hunter,Related Books  #3)

Thanks I am checking those authors out, I appreciate the recommendations.

Emma, I finished The Host just a couple of days before you. It was soooo good. I can't believe I waited so long to read it. I was sad to see it end.

Which series, Louise?


message 4235: by Tina (new)

1420355 I started Dead Witch Walking (Rachel Morgan/The Hollows, #1) the other night but I couldn't get into it. So I picked up Darkfever (Fever, #1) instead. I'm really enjoying this one.


message 4236: by Carolyn (new)

2624012 I'm reading Jeaniene Frost's Destined for an Early Grave. Started it last night and couldn't put it down. Very good book so far.

Not Louise, obviously, but I believe she was referring to Tempted, the latest House of Night book which is, by many accounts, crap. I haven't read my copy yet.

Thanks, Dark Heart. I thought that might be it, but people have been posting about another books called Tempted, so I wasn't sure.

Really? I'm not that far into Shadowlight, but I can't say that was ever a problem for me in the Darkyn series. I immediately picked up that Alex and Michael were the main couple and so on, maybe because I've been reading in the genre a while or maybe because I take my time reading, who knows.

I guess the problem with my experience was that I jumped in the middle of the series and started from there.

I think another big problem is that I just finished the Darkhunter series by SK, and that was a 13 book ordeal. I was so used to the characters. :( And then I picked up Shadowlight the moment I finished Bad Moon Rising and was like, "Whats this?! I don't know these people!"

Sad, I know. But that's the life of a book addict.

But I'm reading more and Shadowlight, and I'm getting used to Lynn Viehl's writing style again.

I can't wait to go home and read :) I had trouble getting into Lover Revealed for some reason, It was alright, but not one of my favorites.

i get what you mean it took me ages to read i found it quite boring the worst one in this series, they are just dragging it out for far too long. you are so right about stark i already loved him from when he first came in the series but in this book he is so much better and i love him even more if that was even possible


message 4245: by Barbsis (new)

1968285 Started Stray last night. I kept putting this one off but someone wants it as a swap so I had to pick it up. It's interesting but Faythe's father is really getting in my nerves.

really Barbsis? Most people found Faythe to get on their nerves

Or Marc...

I love them all though. It's one of my favorite series.


message 4248: by Rebecca (new)

2790828 Yeah.. I thought Marc was a bit of a tosser, He's okay but I'm a jace person all the way... lol


1847538 Marc is definitely overbearing in Stray, but I love him. Of course, I think Jace is fabulous as well...

LOL. Yeah, it's difficult from the middle. I think her style in this series is a little different. What do you think?
