My pleasure Alisa :D

[Alisa]

I just finished It had a happy, sappy ending & honestly I loved evey minute of it. I typically don't like cupcake books but I will always eat it up w/the Scanguard Vamps & the New Species guys.

I'm now starting and

[Thethriftybooklady]

I finished it was pretty good not great but I still want to read the others and see what happens.

Now I'm reading

[Karena]

I'm doing the reread along with Kim Harrison and start The Good, the Bad, and the Undead on the 15th. I will be starting Cold Blooded within the next day. I'm doing some non UF reading, catching up on some award winners from last year and just books I heard a lot about but never got a chance to read, including The Thirteenth Tale and Telegraph Avenue.

American Crow by Jack Lacey – Book Review
Reviewed by Susan McMichael
5 out of 5 stars

Move over Rebus, here comes Blake…
Detective fiction is a little like drinking wine: there is a lot around and everyone has their favourite. When something new comes on the market, the drinker or the reader, looks longingly to their favourite brand or book and says, "I hope the new one is like the old one..." It's not an exact science of course: there is a chemistry to it. The reader can like a new detective story, and then the reader can love a new detective story.

I am a fan of detective stories. I began with Agatha Christie back when I was eleven. I read Sherlock Holmes and moved onto the feminist detectives in the early eighties. It's a little hard to define what I like: sometimes I think that reading anything is really a love story and so is undefinable, but....

I picked up American Crow by Jack Lacey and was hooked. I love American Crow. The character of Sibelius Blake is strongly written and interesting. Blake’s back story comes out through the novel. The plot ending ties beautifully with the beginning: it is very well structured.

I liked it but I had issues with it. I liked the overall story and it I really appreciated the lack of an info dump at the beginning. Yet at the same time not having everything present left me curious yet annoyed lol
While I felt like this book wanted to be sci-fi I tell you we did not advance much - feels like you are reading a book in a parallel reality...then there were bigger things that never quite got explained. Having said all that I liked the characters Mae and the kid quite a bit Justin on the other hand was a little to weak. I listened to the book on audio and I think that was a mistake. Anyway there is plenty of potential so I will most likely read the next one.

[Alisa]

I finished which was a new author for me. I enjoyed it. What I liked the most was the heroine was not the typical 20 year old virgin who knows martial arts & can weild a sword. She's a 30 something, tired, stressed, single mom and she still gets the hot angel in the end.

This author is new and is trying to build a fan base so she put a note at the end that she encourages the book to be shared so if you are interested in reading it pm me and I will send you a copy.

[Alisa]

I'm currently reading and and trying to get through on audio (for the third time). This is one of those series everyone raves about but it's just not catching my interest.

I am not sure I would like First Grave on the Right in audio. If memory serves I disliked the reader and it sounded so weird from what I imagined.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Last night I picked up not as funny as some of her others but still enjoyable.

I have the second one from audible, but haven't listened to it yet. I am hoping it will be better than this one.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Alisa, I bought at $2.72 from Amazon, what could go wrong. Hope its good.

I enjoyed First Grave but I read it, not listened, so that may be why. See if you can get it from your library ;)

[Mike]

I really enjoyed First Grave as well and I have heard other people say that the reader on the audio isn't very good.

[Anika]

Finished and currently 60% into

I've read Night Myst and Witchling recently. Do you like one series better than the other?

[Alisa]

I just finished and enjoyed it. It's an interesting world she's set. A completely new (at least to me) type of supernatural character. The author is an indie author I meant in another group & I wasn't too sure about reading it cuz a lot of times those books don't work out for me. This one though was really good, imo, and I hope some of you check out this series.

[Mike]

Finished and . I love Remy Chandler.

[Thethriftybooklady]

Finished and loved it! I don't know who I like more now Bones or Spade.
Now I'm reading and so far I can't decide if I like it or not. It seems a little bit of a slow starter for being such a short book. But I'm going to try to finish it.

I feel like your last book just doesn't match with the rest of them, like the old Sesame Street thing.

It totally does not reality and nuclear weapons vs PNR and UF LOL

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

LOL. I was wondering the same thing :D

I've got cause I read such glowing reviews but I haven't gotten to it yet. Glad to hear a differing opinion and glad I didn't buy the rest of them yet ;)

ETA: Dawn read I love all her books.

[Mike]

So far I am enjoying though I am still not a fan of present tense narration. (No one tells a story like that.) Also started reading I am really loving this one and it was only 1.99 on Nook.

[Thethriftybooklady]

I gave up on I was having a hard time getting into it and with the stress in my life right now I want to enjoy my escape to books. Maybe I'll give it another try at some point just not now.

I started and have barely gotten into it and like it already.

[Alisa]

Uuuggggg.....I'd rather read about nuclear disaster than those hillbilly shifters. :)

I like the hillbilly shifters! I don't want every book to be about them, but a few are funny to me.

I know. Everybody likes that series but me. :(

[Alisa]

I just finished which due to the topic is not a book for everyone but it was one of the best books I've read this year. BUT I am completely emotionally spent. It kicked my butt. Everything else I had planned to read this next week or so is serious so everything got put on the back burner cuz I need a light hearted read. Going to start

May go back and re-read It's my favorite of that series & I can always count on the New Species to be fluffy & silly but yummy nonsense. They're one of my go to reads when I need happy.
