@Arushi - Yes I'm back; I figured I'd put up a real pic just so everyone can see how old I really am! Just kidding. Although I bet I'm closer to old than young.
Of course, with my twisted sense of humor that might not really be me. ;-)

Blood Trade was a good book. Everyone should like it. It has Bruiser in it in a new role, so the women folk should be down with it. I get a little tired of Jane bragging on herself, but then she is pretty bad-assed, so I guess she gets bragging rights. I'm thinking I should put a review of it up on my site, but I just haven't got around to it. Need to take care of a giant pain first.

But it feels good to be back - almost like coming home - plus I missed ragging on y'all. LOL!

I've got it and will be reading it soon.

I finished and really liked it. Also finished which I didn't enjoy too much, but will read the next one to see how it goes.

Starting

[Arushi]

Missed you too Duane :) Glad u r back!!

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Maybe I should give a try since I'm up-to-date on the October series.

I'm done with and finishing

[i m]

Both the Incrypted books are great. They're filled with fun characters and lots of wildlife!

[Zeenat]

The InCryptid books are very different from October Daye Series. Not as serious and very fun! Very DIFFERENT.

[i m]

And, personally, I think the Incrytid Series are the only ones that have "website" stories I don't rate as two star efforts. I like reading up on the ancestors to the Price clan. "All Hail the Violent Priestess!"

Then again, I liked the Tybalt story, too, but that can't be considered a "website" story as it came from an anthology. It was interesting that Tybalt always had some compassion to him; guess that's why he is drawn to October - she seems to need someone to care about her.

[Claire]

I think the InCryptid books might be my favorite over Toby

[Zeenat]

I think two books is too hard for me to judge... but it may very well be ahead of the Toby books! Although as far as book boyfriends go, I prefer Tybalt to Dominic LOL

[i m]

The problem with the Incrypted novels is one thing that has always bothered me in books. The next two books are about the brother. Then we can assume the next two will be Antimony, who will probably nab another "traitor" away, just to keep up with all the Price/Healys. I like series that have the same main people, such as October, Dory, Kate, well, you get the picture. While the Incrypted books are good, at least so far, I'll have to stick with October because she will stick with me.

Old fashioned, but....

Oh, and I've made great headway on the family tree. I'll take some notes on the rereads, but without input from Seanan, I guess that;s as far as we can go.

[D.C.]

Geeze, look at that! Changed browsers and it logged me in as my alter-ego. Wow. What I said as i m still goes - family tree going good.

[Zeenat]

The next two are Alex, then I think Verity again for one, then there is going to be with Antimony, and I think Alice..but the only for sure ones are the one two alex and then verity, since her contract isn't renewed yet.

[Claire]

I love the InCryptid books. I'd prefer that they stayed with Verity, but I really love what I've read about Antimony.

I just finished my 7th book this month, Cast in Peril (Chronicles of Elantra #8) by Michelle Sagara West. My next book is Crime Seen (Psychic Eye Mystery #5) by Victoria Laurie

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

read , i actually really enjoyed this book - looking forward to the next one

[Margo]

Okay, so recently I've finished and really enjoyed this series, although I'm not quite sure what I think about the end, to be honest I have mix feelings. Sometimes I think it was good, the other times I'm not sure it was a wise decision, but anyway, I liked the series.

I've also read and I liked it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to continue the series or not. For now, I'm putting the series away.

I was really disappointed with :/. The book in itself is not bad, but it kind of felt like bad imitation of Kristen Ashley's books :(.

The book which shocked me, 'cause I wasn't expecting to really like it was , which BTW is still available for free on Smashwords. I've finished it yesterday and immediately bought and just finished reading the next book in this series . Both books are really great read and I'm waiting for the next book to come out. Hope it would be soon.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Done with .
I was very surprised that I actually liked this book. I loved the witty remarks that Gwen made while she tried to mesh concepts of her own reality with her adventures.
I don't know much about fae lore but it was central to the world building of this story...problem was that it was not explained. It made for interesting reading because you assume things to go a certain way....and doesn't. I think that I liked to hate the 'hero', which made the story more interesting in the end.

[Dale]

I just finished my 8th book this month, Crime Seen (Psychic Eye Mystery #5) by Victoria Laurie. My next book is Second Sight (Arcane Society, #1) by Amanda Quick

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

I finished last night and liked it more than book 1.

Reading now.

[Zeenat]

Finally finished , which I thought was the best book in the series so far. Now starting

[Margo]

Currently I'm reading , but I'm only just started and have a "WTF" moment. I don't get it. I hope it get's better and everything is going to be explained, but anyway is it true that that's the last book in the Bloodhound Files?

[D.C.]

I loved the Bloodhound Files, but this was my least favorite book of the bunch - the whole book just didn't sit well with me. All becomes clear about halfway through the book and it starts to get better, but it still falls short of the previous books. I hated the ending completely.

Perhaps its this way because it's the last book in the series and he needed to tie up some loose ends?

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

I finished last night. Reading now.

[Margo]

d c wrote: "Perhaps its this way because it's the last book in the series and he needed to tie up some loose ends? "

So it really is the last one? Damn, but seriously so far I'm not liking it :/

[D.C.]

@Margo - Well, his website says it is - I checked when I was done with the book to see if I was mistaken because of the ending but that's it - when you get to the ending you will see what I mean about it being convoluted. Without spoiling it I can't tell you why he did it that way, but the ending was just left hanging. One sentence is all it would have taken to set things straight, but that sentence was not forthcoming. I mean, I know what I would have done in Jace's shoes, but....

If it makes you feel any better, the book does pick up - I've read worse. Much, much worse.

[Margo]

@ d c - Yeah, I've read worse. That's why I'm not giving up on this one and am trying to finish it. ;)

[Dale]

I just finished my 9th book this month, Second Sight (Arcane Society, #1) by Amanda Quick. My next book is Midnight Awakening (Midnight Breed #3) by Lara Adrian

[Claire]

Just finished . I really enjoyed it, though I'm a little surprised by the sudden romance. Okay, sudden to me. It's been developing for a while, but most of the development occurred off stage. I can't decide if I'm disappointed by the lack of build up or refreshed by the lack of drama.

Anyway I'm solidly hooked on the characters and I'm excited for the next one to come out.

[Llaph]

The sudden time jump kinda threw me off too.... I think it was a guy thing. :x

[Margo]

Finished and although it does get better halfway through, the ending just ruins it completely. I mean, seriously who the hell ends the series like that?

[Llaph]

I definatly do not want to read past Killing Rocks ... I think I will leave it where it is with the story okayish....

[D.C.]

Margo wrote: "Finished and although it does get better halfway through, the ending just ruins it completely. I mean, seriously who the hell ends the series like that?"

That's exactly what I thought. That one sentence? "I'm already home."

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Margo wrote: "Finished and although it does get better halfway through, the ending just ruins it completely. I mean, seriously who the hell ends the series like that?"

It's almost like he does not have another contract for more books but wants to leave on the possibility of another. Even if this is the worst of the series...I liked that the author tried 'every' variation on the same theme. I have to admit that for a serial killer to obsess on only Jace....every take was different. I personally liked the comic book theme.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Finished with and reading with delight .

[Zeenat]

Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ wrote: "Margo wrote: "Finished and although it does get better halfway through, the ending just ruins it completely. I mean, seriously who the hell ends the series ..."

That's exactly it. He didn't get the contract renewed but was hoping for it in the future. I didn't like the way it ended cause it was so hurried.

I am on . This series has grown on me. I really like the last few books.

[Claire]

I'm trying to decide what to read next. It's a struggle.

[Zeenat]

Claire, what are you trying to decide between? I always like giving away my "never asked for and put my nose in other peoples business" opinions :P

[Claire]

I have no idea! I'm still more into UF, looking for something like Dresden or the Iron Druid Chronicles. Have you ever read the Connor Grey books?

Also, I love your picture!

[Llaph]

Lover At Last (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #11) by J.R. Ward
What … a … long … book.

Pfft and I had thought sam and Alyssa finally getting together took too many books, that was only like 6 or so … this was a few more than that….

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

It's long because Ward added too many other peoples' stories to it. She could have saved some of that for later.

[Zeenat]

Thanks Claire! I haven't read Conner Grey yet. I'm reading Cal Leandros right now, and it took me a bit to get into it, but now I'm hooked.

Have you read the Jane True series yet? It's pretty light UF kinda like Cassie books, and Jane is a lot like Cassie in many ways. I think they're fun, and the last book is coming out this May. I really like the Elemental Assasin series too. Have you read that one?

[Zeenat]

UGH Lover at Last. I was so mad about all the side stories! and I can't stand Xcor.

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

She's turned him into a sissy whenever it comes to Layla.

[Zeenat]

He's like a boring and weaker version of Zsadist. LAME. Same thing with Layla actually. A boring version of Bella.

I agree. It seems like Ward is finally trying to give the girl a backbone, but Xcor and Layla are Z and Bella ver. 2.0.

[Llaph]

I have never liked layla ... and xcor has turned into a weakass ... I agree on the extra story bits. I just wanted the main story, I could have done without the myriad other ones.
The thing with assail ... and xcor ... they do bad thinggs ... I don't want to sympathize with them or get the angst from their stories. It is like a set up for something and I hope she doesn't pull a 180 and voila it is all okay bit with them.

Tres is just bleh, could have done without that can of worms opening too.

I liked and read the story mainly because of qhuinn and blay.

[Claire]

@Zeenat I was thinking of reading the Jane True series, given how many good reviews it gets.

I read the first book in the elemental assassin series, but not enough to continue on to the second

Exactly why I read and liked it, too. I could have done without that other stuff and her trying to redeem Xcor and Assail is so stupid to me.

[Arushi]

Claire - I have a read a few Cal Leandros books and its a good series. I also have read the Connor Grey series book 1.. and will continue it later. Its a good series, completely UF and the coolest thing is that Connor does not have any powers - well not really. He used to be this uber powerful druid but now - he is almost the same as a human. So he uses his brains and plain detective skills to solve stuff - not magic.

[D.C.]

@Claire - I would have to agree with Zeenat on this - the Jane True series would be an excellent choice. The last book in the series comes out this May, so it's a series you could read and complete in a small amount of time.

I can't wait for the last book, but it makes me sad the series is over because it was always fun to read.
