I finished Fever, for the Paranormal Romance shelf - 03/10/2011, 4 stars.

This was a really intense Postapocalyptic book, that got me immersed in that world. I read it in one sitting. The entire book is full of heartache and trials for the protagonists, but it does move the plot forward. I subtracted a star because of the ending, it felt really abrupt and incomplete, not like a cliffhanger but more like I turned the page, but there were no more pages. Can't wait for the next book though.

We've had the next shelf announcment - Paranomal Mystery

Off to update you Miss :) and I hate it when you turn the page and there isn't any more, when there should be.

I'm going to read

Emily, does this mean IAD wasn't on the shelf, or did you want a break?

I wanted a break. I am still reading the other two series but wanted something new.

Fair enough, hope you enjoy The Summoning :)

I just finished the summoning... I like the story... The ending has me looking forward to the next book to see what happens. I am giving it a 4. The book went by sooo quick.3/11/12

Wow Emily you read so fast!

I'll be reading for Paranormal Mystery.

Super fast Emily, Yay!!!!!

Hope you enjoy Charley, Miss, I sure did :)

I finished Siren Song for the PNR shelf today (3/12) and gave it 3 stars.


Celia's life sucks. She's currently in a facility while awaiting trial for the actions of the last book, someone wants her dead, she's having boyfriend problems again, she still has to deal with the challenge from her cousin and oh yeah, she discovers someone placed a death curse on her. There is a lot happening in this book and a lot of characters to keep track of. I'm not happy that it looks like we are heading for a love triangle in the series as I really don't like them.

3/11/2012 - finished for the Paranormal Mystery shelf, 4.5 stars.

I really enjoyed reading this book, there was a satisfying mystery, a sassy heroine and yummy hero. I thought it had some original ideas and it felt like a fast, easy read. There were many laugh-out-loud moments. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this delightful series!

I will read for the Paranormal Mystery.

Bugger on the love triangle Diane :(

Glad you loved Charley, Miss, I'm waiting patiently for the 2nd one to come out in MMP, I think it's next month.

Hope you enjoy The Hollows, Cathy. I haven't started that series yet, though I think I've bought the 1st one. So I'll be interested to here what you think about it and whether its kept the magic going after 10 books.

I'm having trouble deciding what to read for paranormal mystery shelf. Here's my shortlist if anyone has some opinions.

Well, I can only comment on An Ice Cold Grave cause that's the only one I've read - 3 stars, if you've got something better go with that. LOL

I've heard really good things about the Jane True series Diane, if you enjoyed the first one, I'm curious what your opinion is overall.

Thanks for the opinions. I've decided to read

Miss - I did enjoy the first Jane True and will get to the next one eventually.

Interesting :)

Never heard of that one Diane. Is it one of those cozy mysteries I've heard of but never read?

It is a paranormal cozy mystery. Cozies are my third favorite genre, after PNR and UF (not necessarily in that order)

What defines a cozy?

I read [book:Disappearing Nightly|1242833] years ago when it was first published by LUNA. It was funny, and I it enjoyed it very much. Waited forever for the sequel because LUNA cancelled the author's contract and it took her a while to get a new one with a new publisher. I'm going to read the second book for this shelf. :D

Cozy mysteries usually have a non police affiliated protagonist (usually female) with very little sex and violence. They also tend to be based around a hobby of some sort (cooking, crafts, home repair, gardening, etc).

Good to know. I'll have to move it up the TBR pile. Thanks!

Thanks for the good info Diane :) I'll have to look out for them, initially at the Library. I do love a good browse :DDD

When I think of cozy mysteries I think of Agatha Christie, or Charlaine Harris's mystery series.

CONGRATULATIONS, Black Cats!

Paranormal Mystery
3/14/12 ★★★★★

This series just keeps on getting better, though I did hear #4 has a serious cliffhanger. Not my fav thing.

So in this episode Kara Gillian, homicide cop, demon summoner, member of the woo-woo FBI taskforce goes to check out a run-of-the-mill missing person and finds a dead body. Anyone else would think suicide but Kara can sense the arcane and knows it's murder. And luckily for her the forensics back that up as well.

(view spoiler)[So it turns out to be a Golem, and the Accountant is the first murder, the Manager is the second and the Personal Trainer/Drummer is the third. But who is controlling it? Whoever it is makes a mistake and sends it after Kara. And what does the Band have to do with the murders or is it rich Uncle Ben? (hide spoiler)]

The back and forth between Ryan and the Demon Lord Rhyzkahl continues, but snippets of information are sent Kara's way by various people regarding Ryan and that just makes it all the more intriguing.

This series is heading for some very, very interesting times. Cannot wait for the next one.

I finished my book for the Paranormal Mystery shelf today (3/15) and gave it 3 stars.

Mel took over her father's construction business after her divorce and her mother's death to help out her father, but it seems to have taken over her life. Now she's starting to see ghosts and they want her help. Nice tidbits about renovation and gemology but the mystery itself could have used some work. Overall a good cast, so I'll probably check out the next one eventually.

Sounds OK Diane, but I shouldn't rush to buy it heh?

There is definitely better paranormal mysteries out there in my opinion, but 3 stars is my norm/good (my average rating is 3.3), so it isn't bad.

The thing with cozies is, a lot of times how much you like a series depends on how interested you are in the hobby topic and home renovation isn't an interest of mine.

As someone who built their own home (with hubby) I better say it's one of mine. LOL

That is impressive, I don't seem to have the knack for doing things like that.

Well, technically I was the labourer, hubby was the builder, though I did do some of the construction :D

And no he's not a builder but he is a tradesman, so he figured it out. LOL

It is still pretty cool...

Thanks :)
