Sandra’s comments from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

Glad you liked it Victoria.

It wasn't for me. Lots of telling & no showing, I abandoned it at 19%. I just couldn't force myself to read it.

I've found Elizabeth Hunter, hit or miss. This one was a miss, for me.

For those who love OTT funny series, R J Blain's Romantic Comedy with a Body Count has 2 books for $0.99 cents each.

Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It’s another series that IMHO gets better with each book 😊 (I’m sure y’all are tired of hearing me say that, sorry 😜)"

No, not feeling . Nothing to grab me in the first 19%. I do find EH a bit hit or miss for me.

Well, I've stalled out on so decided to read Jacky.

Loved it. Trying very hard not to read #2 straight away :D

I'm sure I will :D

You're both making it sound so good.

I've just dl , so Jacky will be next after that one :D

I'm laughing at that one as well!!!!!

It looks really good Steph!!!

Just realised I didn't add a list, way back when, sigh

OK here is today's list, not in any order:

1. Ilona Andrews (all her series, can't wait for the new one ~ Maggie, or whatever it'll be called when its published)
2. R.J. Blain (+ all the pen names, Susan Copperfield, G.P. Robbins, Audrey Greene, Bernadette Franklin and any I've forgotten)
3. K.M. Shea (a delightful fantasy world, many trilogies, but all interconnected)
4. Nalini Singh (Guild Hunters & Psy-Changelings mostly)
5. J.D. Robb
6. Jayne Ann Krentz (+ pen names Jayne Castle, gotta love the dust bunnies & Amanda Quick)
7. Patricia Briggs (Mercy & the spin off)
8. Eileen Wilks (though I hate waiting, waiting for the next book)
9. Gini Koch (Kitty Kat, love the OTT humour, also some of her mystery type books)
10. Shelly Laurenston/G.A. Aiken (OTT humour, whether strange shifters or the dragons)

Sandra’s a fan of Blain, Et al., too. I need to get readin..."

Love me some RJ Blain and all the pen names!!!!! Re-reading them all a lot :D

Looks like a totally new series to me Victoria.

It's horrendous, someone in one of my other groups pointed it out a couple of days ago, and its just so bad now. It's made it totally unusable.

Also there's no interaction with anyone else's challenge anymore.

Total waste of space & energy, so they'll be able to claim no one uses it and they'll get rid of it entirely.

For those interested, its also on KU.
