What are you reading? (part drei)
I enjoyed parts of it and other parts I didn't care for. I love Beezle - I have a fondness for gargoyles in general - and I liked Maddie. I liked the portrayal of the fallen angels - not outright evil but cold, imposing, and with a different set of morals. I found Evangeline's backstory intriguing. I didn't care for the instant love connection with Gabriel - unless there's a reason for an instant bond (for example - Rule and Lilly's mating bond in the World of the Lupi series) I prefer a slow development over the course of a book/series (Curran/Kate, Jeremy/Jaime, Adam/Mercy, Toby/Tybalt, Rachel/Trent, etc) - it's more satisfying and realistic. I prefer to J.B. to Gabriel anyway. The whole "let me pull a new power out of my back pocket" each chapter got old fast but if in the next book, with Evangeline gone, she has to struggle and actually learn how to use her powers I'll withdraw that complaint.Bottom line - the series has potential but I didn't feel the need to purchase the second book in the series immediately to find out what happens next.

Interested to see what you think of both of them Darcy :)Both of them are in the mail to me, but I'm not up-to-date with either series :(
I can't wait for both of them. They will make my work day much more fun! lol I keep seeing good ratings for Heart of Vemon, haven't heard much on the other.

I loved it!! im something of a fan of Russia, so this was a great book for me!!now reading
which im actually really enjoying, I was a tad concerned it would be really immature but I think its quiet adult for a YA book.

GTK Sara, got my copy today, just need to read the last one first ;)I don't notice JE's repetition much with the pb, I must just skim over those bits without realising.

It seems to be with the eye color and I notice it doesn't happen as much in the later books as it did in the early ones.
Yes, I remember at the beginning of the series there was a lot of talk about the repetition, but I honestly didn't notice it then until people started talking about it. LOL.

"I'm Gin Blanco. Best assassin in the world. Have I mentioned what a great assassin I am? Because really, I'm a great assassin. I may not have mentioned it in that last two paragraphs but I'm a really good assassin. Really good."
That series drives me nuts!

Sloppy sloppy sloppy
haha
I honestly think it is a good series and the ideas are always interesting but man she is like a dog with a bone.
@Darcy.....in a bad way. I agree w/Dawn. The ideas are good but..... I'm a few books behind but I will defiantly read them at some point. I like them in small doses.
Dawn wrote: "Sloppy sloppy sloppyhaha"
That is a signature phrase. lol I don't remember it in this last book, but then again I could be so used to it I don't notice it.
Alisa wrote: "@Darcy.....in a bad way. I agree w/Dawn. The ideas are good but..... I'm a few books behind but I will defiantly read them at some point. I like them in small doses."I get what you mean. There are some series that I can't read more than one book at a time otherwise they irritate me.
@Anika....I've never heard of that series but is looks really good. I'm going to look that up right away. thx

I read book 1 last weekend and this weekend I'm starting book 5
.Do look it up and join the group to discuss after you read.

I really have a hard time with that in a book series like this. I think it's safe to assume by book 9, we all know your story. We know about your past, we know how Finn is a lady killer who likes fine things, we know you're the Spider...let's get to the story. I like the series on a whole, but the repetition does drive me nuts. JE isn't the only author to do it, I get recounting maybe some events that have happened (Briefly!), but wow, let's assume people aren't reading book 9 and expecting to just move on from there.

Reading Blood Bound not sure about this one. In many ways it reminds me of Stray which is not a good thing. Perhaps this author is just not for me.
