I liked Unshapely Things too. I just found books 2 & 3 at a used bookstore recently so I need to get back to it.
Hello everyone,I know this thread is for discussing what you're reading at the moment but a book get stuck in my head and I just can't remember the title or the author and it's driving me crazy :) so I thought I'd ask and maybe someone here knows it
I've read it a while ago but only remember a bit about the storyline:
it was a paranormal romance (for the main characters let's go with 'the guy' and 'the girl' - cause it would be just too easy to find it if I'd recall their names :S)
the guy was a bit older then the girl, and went away for a while to London (I think)and the story starts when he arrives back
the girl has a secret of course: a woman appears in here room and wants here to find an amulet/crystal/necklace of some sort
(again don't remember much about the woman, I think she was of some other species and one they were not so fond of)
the girl felt that the guy abandoned her when he went away but they started to get closer to each other and just when they were about to sleep together for the first time (which was her first time by the way) she started to turn to mist (which was a bad thing, aside the obvious reasons :D, I don't remember why exactly, but maybe she was a halfling, related to the shebitch who wanted her to find the thingy)
the girl left the room in a hurry, the guy was worried that he was rough with here or hurt here....and basically this is all I remember, I know it's irritatingly vague but I really liked it and wanted to find the author and read other books from her....so I though it was worth a shot
thanks in advance

Shad, it doesn't immediately ring any bells with me, but others may know what it is.You could also ask in the group What's the Name of That Book

and really like it so far."Dragon shifters?? How is it?"
It was interestingly good :)))
A PNR though, as each of the next 2 books has a different couple. It is aptly series named The Hidden, as all the super stuff isn't known by us muggles. Even the heroine didn't know she was a dragon. LOL. I enjoyed it and I've preordered the next 2 books.
Finished
starting
. I Love this series it will be my second time re-reading through this series.
Sorry Shadow, im pretty sure i would remember if i read a book like that

I am in a steampunk mood finished
Now reading
I just finished
which was, imo, a big giant waste of money. Not good at all and I was annoyed as I really like Jeff's character. 40% of it was the first few chapters of the next CV book. I didn't read those.

It was ok, but it wasn't the joking Jeff that we have gotten to know. The good thing is that we got to know the werewolves better.
Finished
it was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed it looking forward to getting my hands on the next one
Glad you liked it Dawn, I've got that one sitting on the shelves somewhere :)Just finished
and I don't know why I've waited so long to read this series, it was good.

thhat is a shame, I have it on my kindle waiting for me to read. Oh well, the novellas never really good anyway.
finished
, was pretty good but i ended up rating it only 3.5 stars. mainly being that i went in knowing little about the Japanese culture and had to spend half the book looking up words in google which i found somewhat tiresome. loved Buruu and Yukiko. the world was pretty incredible as well, in a bad way. lol.also finished
have to say im highly surprised by how much i ended up enjoying this book, i was concerned i was going to hate it with how much religion is involved in it, but after i got past maybe the first 1/4 - 1/3 i had trouble putting the book down. i love how the characters changes and grows, by the end of the book she was nothing like how she was at the start, and she really was incredible. so brave and considerate of others. i'll deff being looking for more books by thi author.
Reading Wicked Wind by Sharon Kay. It is PNR with uber romance in the sex scenes. Great world building too.
Caressa, that sounds interesting so I've grabbed it :)
Just finished Relentless by Karen Lynch, a new YA Paranormal. I love reading these in both the YA and adult genre and really enjoyed this one.
The paperback I'm reading is AFTER THE STORM by Maya Banks. Plus, several eBooks. I have another novel of her's ready to go after this one!!
I read
I had an advanced copy of The Line and you know I really liked it! I could not believe this was his first book. This was the first book in a long time where I was very surprised by the twist at the end.

That's good to know. I got an advanced copy of The Line as well. I will have to move it up on my TBR list.
Finished Wicked Wind and now on to Wicked Waves. I am so impressed with this new author's books. and editing! Halfway done with Wicked Waves and I have to say there are a lot of twists and sub plots going on. It is refreshing to not be able to guess what is going to be the climax.

The Line looks interesting, but that cover is absolutely horrible! They should have gone with the other cover.

"Was The Emperor's Edge good. I've read her new series Rust and Relics which is UF but I was curious about her fantasy.
It was enjoyable. A nice, quick read with an interesting cast.

I do not think I saw the other one.

You should it started off a little weird but he has an interesting writing style I will be interested to know what you think.
Caressa wrote: "Reading Wicked Wind by Sharon Kay. It is PNR with uber romance in the sex scenes. Great world building too."For 99 cents I am willing to give it a go. I love romance and to often you just get sex.
Finally finished
I had been putting this one off for awhile. It did not suck but I hate when angst could have been avoided with a solid conversation.
Dawn wrote: "Finally finished I had been putting this one off for awhile. It did not suck but I hate when angst could have been avoided with a solid conversation."You finished just in time, because a new book comes out in the next couple of weeks.
Bah I am like an evil genius!!! lmao

The other cover is listed as a photo on the book page, at least I assume it was the original cover prior to publishing.
Dawn wrote: "Finally finished I had been putting this one off for awhile. It did not suck but I hate when angst could have been avoided with a solid conversation."I'm actually stuck in the middle of the first one. Same thing, angsty non talking, at least that's what I remember. Will get back to it eventually.

I will take a peek at that. The one thing I can give it credit for is if I saw this in a book store I would be likely to pick it up like what is this line and why is there a water fountain.
Sandra wrote: "...I'm actually stuck in the middle of the first one. Same thing, angsty non talking, at least that's what I remember. Will get back to it eventually."This is what annoys me about PNR! I just started Shadow's Claim first why is this the cover?? Who is this guy supposed to be it looks like contemporary romance. Moving on I am only about 1/4 of the way in and already our lovely heroine is in love with her best friend who clearly is not in love with her. Yet she knows she is a Bride and what that means but nope she wants to pine for the best friend who really is just a man whore. You cannot even be mad at the best friend because he is honest but she is in denial. Why is this a good plot line?? Everyone loves this book so I am hoping it gets better.
Started
and couldn't stop reading, till I realised it was 3.30am and thought I'd better go to bed. LOL.
Just finished my binge reading of Skin Walkers, now I have to wait for the rest of them to be written.
Well I thought I would try for something a little different and picked up a steampunk/sci-fi/PNR. Well I think that's what it falls under. The title is The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook, #1 of The Iron Seas series. I have no idea what steampunk is or what I've gotten myself into. But hey, if it weren't for curiosity I would have a pretty dismal reading life.
