No, I haven't. I read book 1, and then for some reason skipped to the Demonica series. I think I'll finish Wraith's book, then go back to Jane True.

@ Gin:
I can’t remember how I came across it, but I was not expecting too much from it. I love fantasy, hell my first book that I read that did not have to deal with school was a fantasy book. ( Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson .) I don’t read too much YA though … awesome book. I could not put it down till I was done with it. (Hi sleepless night) ewwies @ their being 1 year between the books … torture damnit torture.
Freaking conspiracy….

I know fortunately I read it later in the year, so my wait hasn't been as long. I usually hold out on YA books and wait to read the ones that the people I trust rave on about.

Personally I really liked the book, I have read it a few times. I haven't read the rest of the series yet though. :(

If you liked it that much...I should move book 2 up my list, I just don`t have the audiobook for this one.

I`ve noticed that it`s a case of you either love it or hate it. I liked it well enough and the world-building too even if it could have been more elaborate.

Valerie, the second book wasn't quite as good as the first one, but I still really enjoyed it (so four stars instead of five). It takes quite a massive plot turn compared to the first book, which I know some people didn't like (I didn't mind at all). My biggest complaint was that a couple of times Amelia put herself in unnecessary danger, which didn't entirely make sense to me, but it's a fairly small complaint.

I've always loved mystery stories and this series has so many, and that keeps me coming back. I also think the author pulls off the slightly creepy, supernatural aspects really well. It's not like most UF that I read, and I think that's why I like it so much. It's like a breath of fresh air.

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments Dweller on the Threshold (Beri O'Dell, #1) by Rinda Elliott

This was an interesting UF. It mentioned vamps, werewolves, and elves, but they didn’t show in the main part of the story. It kept the focus on demons/evolved bad karma, and an off shoot, and not oft used, portion of greek mythology.

@Alina I would say it is. I loved Dragos and Pia.

message 2577: by Gin (new)

Gin | 323 comments I'm reading One Salt Sea (October Daye, #5) by Seanan McGuire which I must say, this series just gets better and better with each book!

I've also started Rogue Descendant (Nikki Glass, #3) by Jenna Black which is kind of falling a little flat for me.


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 2012 comments Claire wrote: "@Mello the Selkie book looks like a fun beach read type thing. What are your thoughts?"

It probably would be. It's a steamy PNR. I know the author, too and she's good peoples. She also has a mythology PNR series that's pretty good.

@Alina You're welcome!

Re-read because I finally got Sins of the Demon … I know I am missing 1 more book, but my cheap gene is still hopeful that it will come through too.

You people own jackets? I have a couple of hoodies, but that is it.

When I lived in WA state for a couple of years I never owned an umbrella, I did have a good jacket to repel the water though. Hrm, never used a jacket when I lived in LA either, hell I don’t even think I wore one. Course I remember in the 5-years that I lived there I turned the heater on a handful of times if even that much.

I have to say, that I preferred the second more. While reading the 1st one, I couldn't quite focus on it and my mind wondered all the time. And with the second book, I got sucked right into the plot. It was more creepy then the first and I just couldn't put it down.

Today I've finished The Prophet (Graveyard Queen, #3) by Amanda Stevens and I have to say that I really really liked it, but I can't stop thinking that something is lacking in it. I can't quite put a finger on it but somehow I feel a little bit disappointed and I really don't know why :/


message 2589: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments Margo, I'm maybe about 60% through The Prophet and I am liking it so far but I'll wait till I've finished before I judge it.

I did love the first book. The only thing I didn't like was Amelia's continual thoughts about how attracted she was to Devlin. This is probably because too much romance bores me silly. But the story was really good.

I liked that the second book went in a completely different direction, which was quite unexpected. I had no idea when I started it that it was set in an entirely different place, but I thought it worked really well because it kept everything new and exciting. I just felt there were a couple of times when Amelia took unnecessary risks. She wasn't a ballsy, confrontational UF type of character and I thought it felt a little odd that she would continually confront danger when, by her own admission, she was scared. If a character's actions don't seem realistic, I can't lose myself in the story and that's why I knocked a star off. But I still really enjoyed the book. And I love Angus LOL!

I like that the third one's back in Charleston and picking up there again, but I don't want to go into this one too much until I've finished it. That's a shame that you felt something was missing. Do you think the characters weren't measuring up or what?

Despite a couple of small niggles, I've enjoyed this series hugely (so far!). It feels different to most UF books because of its creepy atmosphere and I love that. I've just found out book four isn't due till 2014 and I'm a bit sad about that. :(

So I've read :(. Well, that's another book to read for 2014 I guess :/. What else can we do about it?

The missing aspects in the 3rd book weren't the characters so much as a situations or conversations. Some where too long and didn't have any purpose for me and some really important situations were just... I don't know how to say it... too brief or insufficient.

Yeah, I've been wearing a jacket or at least a cardigan all the time, too. I hate it. I want warm weather!

That's too bad that it left you vaguely unsatisfied, even if you still enjoyed the book. Sounds like junk food! I'll share my thoughts once I've finished it. :)

Blood of the Demon (Kara Gillian, #2) by Diana Rowland


I second the Dresden files; I think that is the best pick of the bunch. That series gets waaay better as it progresses. The iron druid chronicles were okay, but not ‘omgihavetoreadthenext’-ish. I read cast in shadow, but not the rest of the series, I think it is a good book if you want to read that sort of thing (fantasy).
