SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

I finished my favorite series book today (2/25) and give it 3 stars.

Pretty standard for the series. A trip to Ireland at the beginning for a change of pace and then a fairly quick return to NYC to find a murderer who likes unusual weapons and somewhat public places. Nothing really stands out is this book, but it is always fun to hang out with Eve, Roarke and friends.

For the demon shelf I am going to read . It works out perfect since I just finished reading Night Embrace tonight. Cant wait to continue with the series.

I'm surprised how many demon books I have. Nothing is calling out to me, so I'm not sure which one I will read. I'll try and start one sometime tomorrow.

No worries Diane, I was surprised at my list too :)

Sometimes it just all works Emily ;)

I finished my favorite series book on 02/25/2012, 4 stars.

This is one of my favorite series and it consistently delivers for me. All the books are good mysteries but I really love the ones where there is a development in the Eve-Roarke relationship. Those two are mag! (lol)
There was a lot of tech talk in this one and even though the whodunnit was pretty easy to figure out, I had trouble imagining the how of it, because it seemed so impossible. The explanations at the end made it seem possible (slightly). This series remains at the top of my favorites list.

Woo-hoo, I'm going to read from the demons shelf.

Glad you enjoyed it Miss, the Eve/Roarke relationship is my fav as well, and are definitely mag!!

I just finished . I think the is the best book so far in the series. Zarek's story is really intense. I just couldnt put this book down. Looking forward to the next book. Rated this a 5.

Fantastic Emily, what day did you finish it?

Started and finished it today.

I finished my book for the demon shelf today (2/26) and gave it 2 stars.

Val is a 1/8th succubus and channels the energy by slaying vampires. On her 18th birthday, she gets kicked out of the house to "protect" her younger sister but ends up in a better place with a new job, a nice place with a roommate and the best partial hellhound ever - Fang. I loved Fang and might check out the next one because of him, but otherwise the story just seemed a bit lacking. The romance was unrealistic, the bad guy didn't really have a reason and the vampires as a whole were almost pitful.

Emily, is it 26th or 27th? Its 27th where I am.

oh sorry its the 26th here

LOL Pitiful vamps .... that's just sad!!!

Fang sounds fun - what does a partial hellhound do?

No worries Emily :)

Mostly he acts like a normal dog except he can communicate with Val and he can sniff out vampires.

Sounds like a perfect library book. LOL

Finished my Demon Book - will be back with a review in the morning.

Demon Shelf 27/2/12 ★★★★★


This series just gets better. All the characters from the last book are back and more people know what Kara does, which is a good thing.

Kara, a violent crime detective, is also a Demon Summoner. Which can be tricky as they are pretty dangerous and sneaky. They always have their own agenda.

So this go round, Kara, still has to find her Aunt Tessa's essence (from the last book); find out who is eating essences & then what to do about them; steer her way through the Ryan vs Demon Lord Rhyzkahl jealousy; find out just who/what Ryan really is; break into her Aunt's library to find out what is going on. Oh, and who is doing the gardening at her Aunt's house while she is in the hospital.

Excited to read the next one.

Well is was a freebie Kindle a long time ago, so I can't complain...

Hey, Cathy & Miss, how are your books going?

Anyone got plans for the weekend?

How's the weather?

It's been raining, raining and more raining around here. Up a bit north there are floods but luckily nothing like that here.

Hi Sandra, I'm reading my book now, and since i have most of the weekend free (the first in 3 weeks), i'm sure it will be finished soon. I've been really tired lately, working 2 jobs, i thought i could handle the workload, but i guess maybe not, after a month of this my body really tells me i have to get some sleep. :)

Wow, 2 jobs Miss, that's a lot of stress not just work. Try and get some sleep this weekend, as well as finishing your book. LOL. No pressure :DDD

I finished my book Intertwined on 2/28/12. I'm giving it 3 1/2 stars. As the first book in a series, a lot of scene setting happened, the characters had to meet and form a friendship and background was shared. Then, in the last 50 pages, most of the action was rushed in. I'm thinking the next book should be better since it can get right into the meat of the story.

Yay Cathy :D

Glad you enjoyed it enough to anticipate the next one :)

I am right now. I am reading both Cole & Kenyon's series. It just happens to work out that I can use them for this :)

Always nice when a plan comes together :D

Yeah I was noticing that. My short list isn't even short enough to post yet...

Ok, I decided to go with

I just finished reading (3/4/12) I am rating this 3 stars. I really didnt like this story compared to the others in the series. Hopefully the next is better.

I will read .

I don't know Siren Song at all Diane, so I'll be interested to read your review :)

Sorry you didn't like it Emily :(

I'm about a third of the way through Timeless, just sad it's the last book of this series, though I did hear her next is a spinoff, titled Prudence :)

Paranormal Romance Shelf 3/6/12 ★★★★

The last of the Parasol Protectorate series, though I did hear Ms Carriger is writing a spinoff series, the first of which is titled Prudence.

Alexia and Conall have settled down in domestic bliss in London and to living in Lord Akeldama's third-best closet so they can be close to Prudence, who is now about 2 years old, when Alexia receives a summons to visit Egypt and the world's oldest living vampire.

As she is always up for a challenge and loves excitement, she immediately makes plans which include Ivy, her family and the acting troupe as camouflage for herself, Conall and Prudence.

While in Egypt they investigate the origins of the God-Breaker Plague and why it is suddenly expanding. Back in London, the Pack is in pandemonium and Professor Lyall and Biffy become an item.

Really enjoyed this series but would of liked to have seen more romance in this final instalment.

How's everybody going with their reading?

Hope you're having a good week and Miss I hope you got some sleep. LOL

I should finish this weekend. I recently discovered a fan fiction site and have been spending too much time reading that and not enough reading my books.

ROFL. I have been known to get sidetracked as well.

I just finished and I'm giving it 5 stars. What an amazingly detailed story, drawing together all the dangling story lines from the previous books! And can I just say...about time with Jericho!!!

Cathy, excellent that you had a 5★ read, I take it as being 7 March?

Sandra wrote: "Cathy, excellent that you had a 5★ read, I take it as being 7 March?"

Yes, March 7.

;)

Cathy, I loved loved that book and the series. :)

I just finished , 03/08/2012, my book for the demon shelf. I gave it 4 stars.
I liked the previous one in the series better I suppose and I had really high expectations for this book. I was mostly disapointed in the lack of romantic development between Trent and Rachel. They become good friends though, which is fine but I'm wondering where is the author trying to take things with those two. The bad guys were really disgusting this time too, but the ending opened up a whole new can of worms. Another year to wait...*sigh*
