Aileen | 867 comments I liked JC more than most of them because of how WHINY they are...or just...annoying. And yeah, I like Asher SOMETIMES, but when he's all "oh im scared, im ugly, im hideous, wah wah wah" I want to punch him. Hard. Repeatedly. In the face. With a lamp. Made of knives. So he will SHUT UP. And Richard????? God, I wish he just died off a long time ago.

Claire (claire1) | 4451 comments @Llaph Yeah I'd think that Nathaniel would have to braid his hair before bed. Then again, my hair is down to my hips and leave it loose when I sleep. I guess it depends.

I'm finally starting Touch the Dark (Cassandra Palmer, #1) by Karen Chance . When I read it the first time, I'd bought Touch the Dark and Claimed by Shadow at the same time. I liked book 1, really liked book 2, but it wasn't until Embrace the Night that I really fell in love.

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments ugh it is hot as [insert your favorite four letter word here] and I hate double tapping on my phone and I am turning off my computer (in hope that the AC catches up and my little room gets cooler) and so coming back to this later and doing it in the LKH thread, cause I feel like babbling lots.

Flirt (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #18) by Laurell K. Hamilton

Geez, take out the author notes and it is a reallly short story.

Claire (claire1) | 4451 comments Finished Haunted on Bourbon Street (Jade Calhoun, #1) by Deanna Chase . It was solidly mediocre. I finished it, but I wasn't invested in the outcome. There were moments when the author could have done something interesting, and she let those opportunities pass her by. Additionally, the main character experienced a great deal of angst that I could have done without. I like my heroines decisive.

Claire (claire1) | 4451 comments Oh oh I also just read episode 7 of Indexing by Seanan McGuire , a really awesome Kindle serial about an agency that stops fairy tales from manifesting in our reality by Seanan McGuire. I really enjoy it, but in typical Seanan fashion I'm always dying to find out what happens next.

I want to leap into the book and punch her in the fact. Repeatedly.


ANYWAY, I just finished Hunted (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #6) by Kevin Hearne and oh my God SO MANY FEELINGS. Seriously. Will be discussing this in the general book thread under a huge spoiler tag because reasons.

Arnette pisses me off even more than Monica. She's just so INFURIATING. What the hell makes her think she has to right to constantly butt in on Anita's personal life? I mean, it's just conduct so unbecoming for a cop. I hope something eats her.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) finished Cattra's Legacy by Anna Mackenzie which I really enjoyed, ended up rating it four stars!!
also finished No Proper Lady (Englefield, #1) by Isabel Cooper which was also quiet good, now im reading VIII by H.M. Castor but I might put it down for a bit and try another books first.... im just not into it at the moment

Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 2012 comments I was right and I ended up reading all of the Cassie books straight through. I was so caught up in them, that aside from status updates, I haven't really been on GR all week. I finished rereading Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews , too. I've got some R2Rs that I've put off too long, so I'm starting Fall (The Senses #3) by Cindy Paterson and Our Souls to Keep (Our Souls to Keep, #1) by Gary A. Caruso

The only thing I true hate about her (Laurell K. Hamilton) books and not bad thing is that I want them to a 1200 pages or more.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) attempted to read VIII by H.M. Castor but i couldnt get into it, so i put it down and started reading Broken Illusions. Ellie James by Ellie James which so far isnt to bad though a little young in the way the characters talk and behave.

Poltergeist (Greywalker, #2) by Kat Richardson

I liked the first one, some stuff had me scratching my head, but I liked this one a lot more. I had been putting off reading the series because my library only had the first 2 of the series. Think I might by the 3rd if I can’t find the rest. (I know there is like 8, but gotta start somewhere!) I rather liked how different the world was, it made me sort of miss Seattle too, just not the weather. lol


message 3378: by Claire (new)

Claire (claire1) | 4451 comments I hated the first Greywalker book. I gave up pretty early in.

I think my next book will be Angel's Ink (The Asylum's Tales, #1) by Jocelynn Drake but no guarantees


message 3379: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments greywalker is hard to get into, because of all the sciency stuff, but dude it gets soooo good, especially if you hate relationship drama.


message 3380: by Llaph (new)

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments I liked the sciency stuff, I am a nerd. lol I didn't even notice any romance, to me it seemed like a sort of run by ... Will ... wait ... what?
I rather liked the 2nd book way more than the 1st book, it was worth going through the 1st book.


message 3381: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments it gets better and better. I like book 3, a lot. I hope you get your hands on it!

This is the longest my "currently reading" folder is empty. But tomorrow I start my reread of Claimed By Shadow (Cassandra Palmer, #2) by Karen Chance

Apocalipstick by Lisa Acerbo

@Zeenat:
I am hoping to get to it soon; I already submitted a request for the rest of the series to my library. I have a couple of things to do and maybe I will “reward” my cheap ass with a book when I am done. lol
I don't really have a TBR folder. I just either get a book that looks good or have a gumption to re-read something ... like I did for the AB series. The cassie books are next on my list for re-reads.

Spider’s Revenge (Elemental Assassin, #5) by Jennifer Estep

I figured since I already had a % of the book already read, that I would finish it. I have a few more to read to catch up in preparation to getting the latest one…. I should finish this re-read before I get to the cassie series though.

Oh, and poor giants—they are such red-shirts.

By a Thread (Elemental Assassin, #6) by Jennifer Estep

I so did not miss Donovan … Owen seems to be too good to be true … next few books and the short stories will be interesting. I did notice that the eye talking calmed down a lot! Then again I tend to fixate on the weirdest shit.

Widow’s Web (Elemental Assassin, #7) by Jennifer Estep


It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be to be honest. The Gin & Donovan thing soooo did not even measure up to the Owen & Salina thing. (lol@water name) I think someone snuck up on Owen and beat the shit out of him with the dumbass-hypocrite stick—knew that man was too perfect seeming.
I have not slept yet. Weather + allergies are kicking my ass.:( I wish I liked coffee or something or maybe … yanno … sleep or something. ><


message 3387: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments see people make it seem like Owen is such a shithead because of what he did. And it was crappy--but the circumstances are WAY different. I think owen is forgivable. I lurve Owen.

Deadly Sting (Elemental Assassin, #8) by Jennifer Estep


Oh … I agree somewhat. I was irritated when I finished it. I realllly didn’t like Salina and it was so frustrating for him not to believe Eva and Phillip … or even Gin. It is something to SAY or promise something, it is another thing to have it put to the test. The whole thing, while giving me a sadface, just made them seem to be characters that felt more real to me. Owen is not perfect, and reading how he actually is thinking about it? It is refreshing to see a relationship that actually has some work put into it—if that makes any sense.
I have a feeling it will get better, it just won’t be an insta-fix like in other book series.

I wasn’t expecting this book to just span a night—it was a nice surprise though—the story did not drag. I liked the ending too! (Harhar Jonah, you rat bastard.)

Carniepunk: Parlor Tricks by Jennifer Estep

and
Kiss of Venom (Elemental Assassin, #8.5) by Jennifer Estep


I think that Kiss of Venom is my favorite short of the series so far … I so loved getting Owen’s POV on the crap he did. (It is always nice wen a guy admits to being an asshat.)

lol @ the h8 he has gotten for it all though….

I just have to wait till next Tuesday for the next book, even though it might not be so good, my library usually gets Pocket pub'd books on the same day that they are published. (if not earlier, I got Carniepunk weeks before it was published somehow. :x)


message 3394: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments Exactly! I was sad face and thought he was an asshat, but he's human, not super perfect. I like that!


message 3395: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments I am still struggling with my rating for the kiss of venom ARC I want to give it 3 or 4 stars... I wish I did half stars LOL


message 3396: by Claire (new)

Claire (claire1) | 4451 comments I finished Angel's Ink (The Asylum's Tales, #1) by Jocelynn Drake and I'm starting my reread of Claimed By Shadow (Cassandra Palmer, #2) by Karen Chance .

I think I'd give Angel's Ink 3.5 stars, but round up to 4 in my review. It was definitely interesting, but something about the characters didn't grab me as much as I might have liked.


message 3397: by Amber (new)

Amber (mixiemoon) | 233 comments @Claire I felt the same way about angels ink. I think it might be since this is the authors first time writing from a man pov.IMO

The carachter connections make a lot more sense the second time around. Also with all the time traveling I can keep up a lot better this time around.

message 3399: by Gin (new)

Gin | 323 comments @ Diane I'm still not sure about Nightlife yet. I can see the potential for the MC be PM'ing extremely irritating. I do like the writing style though, and it's dark and gritty feel.

That would explain it. Sometimes his sentiments about Trixie got a little too flowery for my tastes.
