It's good to hear that you are enjoying it. I haven't started this one yet, but I'm excited about it...especially since it's a new series. The thing with the age reminds me of how I felt about Georgina in .

Side Note: Is the Alex Craft series good? I'm trying to find more stuff related to wit..."

ALEX CRAFT IS SO AMAZING. I LOOOVE THAT SERIES.

I'm almost ready for . Two books to go.

fangirls are never really satisfied = so true.

I agree Rachel. It was just weird overall for me. I give it 3.5 stars but that ending just came out of nowhere."

I agree with the 3.5.

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I would have preferred that they confirmed it though. It's weird that they took him with them when he just had a 1 in 20 chance or whatever. But, overall, I am satisfied with how it ended and I am glad that she ended it while everyone still loved the series instead of dragging it out to the point that the fans lose interest.

Danielle wrote: "I just finished. It wasn't what I expected at all. Not in a bad way. Just different."

Those are my sentiments exactly right now. I just finished it. I liked the book, I think I just need a bit to sort out my feelings about it. I read it all today. It was easy to get into because of all the characters that I love and had grown so attached to and the easy way the interact with each other. I've also always thought that the government's secret ops with the paranormal was a more interesting aspect of the series, so I was happy to see that that was the direction Jeaniene took with this book.

But.

(view spoiler)[ Half-vampire babies are a peev of mine. Ever since Twilight...I just can't. I'm okay with it here. And I wish they would have just said Tate was the dad instead of he probably was and could ride off into the sunset with them. But it definitely wasn't on my list of things I thought she'd do with this series. (hide spoiler)]

Starting now!

It's so, so long. I think I'm just going to go ahead and shut down emotionally and go into depression mode.

I'm so obsessed with these books. And Ryodan.

Ahhh website confirmed. It was updated on Monday. No Burned for a year.

Last I checked, she hadn't updated her website beyond the announcement months ago that it would be released in April, but it'd since been accepted that it wouldn't be until July and no one had debunked the rumor. It's like she thinks it's a game.

Me too. Fae are so horrifying and intriguing. I have a theory that they invaded my bloodline at some point, but perhaps my psychosis is for another time lol. But with Fae series like and out there, it's got a lot to live up to ;)

Also: McKenzie Lewis/MacKayla Lane. I feel like these are a little too similar.

I hope they're wrong for the sake of my sanity. First it was January 2014, then April, then July...and now THIS?!

OMG! Now Goodreads says that this book won't be published until January 2015. I literally may not last that long. Losing my mind. I've got to get my hands on this book.

There can only be one allegiance.
It’s her time to choose.

Some humans can see the fae. McKenzie Lewis can track them, reading the shadows they leave behind. But some shadows lead to danger. Others lead to lies.

A Houston college student trying to finish her degree, McKenzie has been working for the fae king for years, tracking vicious rebels who would claim the Realm. Her job isn’t her only secret. For just as long, she’s been in love with Kyol, the king’s sword-master—and relationships between humans and fae are forbidden.

But any hope for a normal life is shattered when she’s captured by Aren, the fierce and uncompromising rebel leader. He teaches her the forbidden fae language and tells her dark truths about the Court, all to persuade her to turn against the king. Time is running out, and as the fight starts to claim human lives, McKenzie has no choice but to decide once and for all whom to trust and where she ultimately stands in the face of a cataclysmic civil war.

True! Kim's got a weird love for spoilers.

But there is nothing I hate more than spoilers! Gah. I've been very cautious when perusing my homepage and tumblr.

"Meet FBI Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong.
She's cursed. He's damned. Together, they make one hell of a team.

Emma Monroe is a Siren, cursed by the gods and bound to earth to atone for an ancient failure. She’s had many names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now that she works missing persons cases for the FBI, it could be just a rescue away. Unless her new partner leads her astray.

Special Agent Zack Armstrong just transferred into the San Diego Field Office. He’s a werewolf, doing his best to beat back the demons from his dark and dangerous past. As a former Black Ops sniper, he’s taken enough lives. Now he’s doing penance by saving them.

Emma and Zack’s very first case draws them deep into the realm of the paranormal, and forces them to use their own supernatural abilities. But that leaves each of them vulnerable, and there are lines partners should not cross. As secrets are revealed and more women go missing, one thing becomes clear: as they race to save the victims, Emma and Zack risk losing themselves."

Probably going to start it this weekend :) I am in the middle of and right now :D But...I am so excited!

Kim wrote: "Good point about Cat....I honestly hadn't noticed the first time I read the series. But it was one of the first things that I noticed this time around.
Having said that, still stoked to read Up fr..."

Me too. I can't wait to see how she wraps it all up.

Kim wrote: "Couldn't agree with you more Rachel. Listen up authors!
Ooh I've come across that a couple times in m/m romance Lydia, it's so incredibly disrespectful. Everyone has a past, they shouldn't be judg..."

That was the only thing that really bothered me about the Night Huntress series. Like, why did Cat have to be SUCH a prude and SO worried about other women and so insecure all the time? And then *spoiler* when YEARS passed while they were apart, she never dated or slept with anyone. Really?
