According to the author's website, The Light of All That Falls is not coming out before 2019 ;)

The only one I'm familiar with here is The Thousandth Floor. I dropped the series after reading the first book. The futuristic setting drew me in & the main character portrayal & her affection obsession pushed me right back out. The Gummy Buddies candy scene was just about the only part worth remembering (screaming & wriggling candy!) & quite imaginative of the author.
I am eagerly awaiting the third book of The Age of X by Richelle Mead. Been waiting for about 18 months now ( I think. It seems so anyway). Any way you can find out when it will be released???
Kate Daniels is a great series. And I don't normally read UF.
aaaaah! I can't wait for Bloody Rose. Absolutely loved Kings of the Wyld. One of my favorites. A few of my GR friends got ARCs and i was shamelessly jealous. Lucky ducks.
On top of being just a straight up mediocre, teen soap opera book, didn't The Thousandth Floor also have incest and kill off a queer character? Hard pass on any more from the series, thanks.The Kate Daniels series sounds interesting, but maybe when I'm not already incredibly behind on reading? (Then again we're all always behind on our "to read" books, aren't we?)
I've never read Kate Daniels? Is it any good?
Love the Kate Daniels series. Will have to look at some of the others mentioned.

Thanks to all of you. I have not read Kate Daniels but will be reading her thanks to all of you!
Ilona Andrews are just brilliant!! Innkeeper series didn't do it for me, but their 'Hidden Legacy' was great fun.
'The Edge' series was good too, but heavier on the romance angle. The other two, story line with some romance, rather than romance with some story.
Suggestion, 'Stormwalker' series by Allyson James has a similar feel, and is on-going. [This is the last Kate Daniels, and Hidden Legacy is going into spin-off. The Edge is already complete.]
Can’t wait for Karin Slaughters new book out on the 21st..
I'm waiting for Sara Donati's sequel to The Gilded Hour.
It's a great series and the author has great writing style. I would strongly recommend it or other series by the author such as the "Innkeeper Chronicles" or the "Hidden Legacy" series.
Hillary Mantel’s 3rd book in the Thomas Cromwell series!
