Rating: 5 stars

Review: Juliet is immortal with no body and her Romeo is the one who is trying to destroy her. Through out the ages Juliet has been trying to save love and Romeo is trying to destroy it. During the time when they are called to inhabit a body and save those who love with a passion. But as the school day is coming Ariel the body that Juliet is put into is trying to keep things together when she is on a date with the local bad boy of the school. Shockingly enough the boy Ariel/Juliet is on a date with is Dylan Stroud. While running away from an accident Ariel caused Juliet is persued by her very famous lover of so long ago. That is where she meets Ben. It's like damsel in distress all over again. But it ends to quickly with Ariel/Juliet back home. Her best friend is a sociopath with very dangerous tendencies gives her a ride to school. But everything just goes downhill from there: first Ariel/Juliet get into fights with the people closest to her, then with Ben the love of her life, and then Romeo does something so unexpected; I can't even tell you. In the end everything is as Juliet wants it to be with a little realities mixed in.

By the way I am so going to read Romeo Redeemed by Stacy Jay , I don't know why I never picked these books up in the first place.

9/25/12 - Finished my Favorite Author Shelf Read.
Reflected in You by Sylvia Day - 4 stars

Oh, Eva! Oh, Gideon! Oh, the angst! These two are smoking hot when they are together. This is definitely one of those guilty pleasure reads and an enjoyable way to pass a rainy weekend.
This book picks up right after
Bared to You and continues the on again/off again affair of Eva and Gideon. The relationship matures a little and more is revealed about their backgrounds. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one.

[Carlyn]

Hey all how is everyone getting on? I finished my fave author book and I'll post my review tomorrow :)

[AH]

I'm halfway through my free space read.

Review:
Wow! This book had Jo at her best and at her worst. I loved that she didn't wait for the guys to show up and fight her battles, I also loved how David's priorities shifted and how furious he became when she was harmed.

[AH]

Oh, I love that series. I usually read 1 or 2 of the books for bookshelf Bingo.

[Midu]

have you read all of them?

[AH]

No, I think I am up to the 5th book. I met Rachel Caine 2 weeks ago at the Smart Chicks Kick it tour. She's so sweet - I am really waiting on the 3rd Revivalist book.

[Midu]

awww she is? yeah, haven't started that series yet. Any good?

[AH]

It's different from her other series, more sci-fi/conspiracy thriller. People are made into zombies by a special drug that keeps them revived and there is a big pharma that supplies the drug and makes lots of money. Also a few very paranoid characters too. It would make an awesome TV series.

[Midu]

yep, sounds like tv material!

I have roughly 160 Nora books but this one is still my absolute favourite. From the fantastic characters, legends, mystery and action it ticks all the boxes in my book.
The story is all about a search for three silver statues depicting the fates and if they are together they are priceless.
I really cannot recommend this book enough!

[Carlyn]

Hey Audrey how are you getting on with your books?

[Carlyn]

Woo hoo! New shelf is up and its urban fantasy!

OMG! I don't know where to start, so much happened in this third book of the Stormwalker series. It was so suspenseful, I couldn't put it down. Janet's story continues with the same characters: her dragon boyfriend Mick, Magic Mirror, Coyote the god, Sheriff Nash, a couple of shifters, more dragons and a few witches. Nice mix, right?!?!? This story focuses on the crazy wicked witch who enslaves Janet's dragon boyfriend, who she must save before he kills her! This book so far is my favorite of the series.

[Juana "Darkness"]

For Urban Fantasy I will go with Kindred by J.A. Redmerski

[Carlyn]

*sigh* Conall..Biffy..anyway, sad that this is the end of the series and happy that Conall decided what he did. Loved every bit of it.

[Amelia]

Has anyone read this book?

[Midu]

nope, not me

[AH]

Has Audrey checked in yet? Midu, you might need a longer review than the one you posted for Timeless. Check the rules to be sure.

[Carlyn]

I've not heard anything from Audrey yet I'll ask around though.
Amelia I read the first 2 and LOVED them and I have Darkness Devours signed :)

[Amelia]

I read the first 2 also but this one is dragging....

Yes, some of the jokes were expected but I think sometimes you need a book like that. I hope Akeldama finds someone too but I didn't like the ease with which he got over Biffy!

Hope this is long enough. Thanks, AH

Midu, we might find out more about Akeldama in the spin off series about Prudence

[AH]

Sandra wrote: "Midu, we might find out more about Akeldama in the spin off series about Prudence" There's a spinoff about her? Must add to the ever growing Mt. TBR.

[Midu]

yep, can't wait for the series to begin. What was the other series about? Ah, there it is:
the other series


A blog post

[AH]

Thanks! I had already added it to that bloated list. Almost finished my Free space read. Did we ever get an answer from Steph re Audrey?

[Midu]

i don't think so.

[Midu]

nope, no PM or a post here.

[AH]

If you look at the beginning of this thread, she said her RL was getting hectic and she was thinking of moving. Maybe she's moved?

[Midu]

maybe..moving is a lot of work!

[Carlyn]

I just got a message from Audrey and she says she needs to bow out since she has a lot going on in RL. I have asked if we can just go forward with 5 players hopefully we will hear back shortly!

[Midu]

thanks,Carlyn!

Finished my FREE space read -
The Shattered Dark - 3.5 stars

I loved The Shadow Reader and was so excited to get a copy of The Shattered Dark to read. I was a little disappointed at first, because I thought The Shattered Dark moved a little slow. Perhaps it was my copy of the book - not a final edition, or maybe just my mood. In any case, I continued reading and I'm glad I did. The second half of the book had non-stop action, battle scenes, all sorts of fae mischief and betrayal as well as some nastiness from their human counterparts.
There is also a love story here and McKenzie makes a choice (sort of). Not going into those details to keep from spoiling.

We were short on replacement players this round, cause everyone wanted to play, but Christina has just offered to join your team :D

[AH]

That's great. Welcome Christina.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Thanks! :D

I'm looking through what I've read/currently reading to figure what I can use for the called shelves...so I can get caught up. :)

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Okay...that didn't take long.

I was lucky a couple people shelved Bound by Flame as UF...

Free Space: The Kingdom
KAH: Some Girls Bite
Favorite Author: TBD
UF: Bound by Flame



====

I'm currently reading Bound by Flame. I will probably follow it up with The Kingdom and then Some Girls Bite. I'll have to get back with you on the favorite author.

Luckily, I will be off Friday through Monday. Lots of reading time. I do have a reservation to see Arsenic and Old Lace at our community theater (Sunday) and at some point I must get groceries. :D I'm going to do my darnedest to catch us up quickly.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Thanks for jumping in with both feet Christina :DDD

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

You're welcome! :D
