Look Back in Anger: Episode OneLook back in Anger: Episode Two
Episode Three
Episode Four
Next I plan to read...Nomad Super excited!!
I just caught up with this series this morning. Recently, I've been reading a lot of Blake Crouch, which is not PNR. BUT I came across this author through my editor friends, and I love her. She does fantastic gritty, twisted, dark paranormal romance. I think Patricia Briggs, JL Bryan, and SN Graves are my favorites in the PNR genre right now. Can't get enough.
Reading
- I've realized what it is about Feehan's writing that bugs me. Too much telling and not enough showing. Nevertheless, its turning into a quick read despite the length. Listening to
- I love Aimée Bruneau's southern accent.
@Mike - The Long Way Down sounds nice and gritty. I've added it to my TBR list.I've decided to keep reading the Spellcrackers series but I have to wait for the third book. While I'm waiting I've gone ahead and read
, which was better than its cheesy cover would imply, and now I'm reading
. I'll finish out this series (six books) before going back to the Spellcrackers series.

It is gritty and there are some really nice different takes on magic and the paranormal.

I love Patricia Briggs--one of my top favorites. I'm halway through her book of short stories. All good.

"I just started that one last night, got about halfway done. I'm finding it a bit boring, there is so much magical/otherworld stuff that has to be explained and is important you can't skim. I really like Benedict, so am glad to see lots of him, but I miss Lily and Rule.
I'm reading
, which I believe is Selena Kitt's first urban fantasy/ PNR try. I'm having a hard time sticking with it, but not because it's bad, it's quite good so far actually. My brain is just not into reading right now, so I've been filling my time with solitaire. Which is a million times more boring than the most boring book!!

I was just thinking the same thing - missing Lily & Rule. Though EW does mix up her H/hs, they are my favs.

! squeee so excited but also sad that the series has ended..."I thought it ended in a good way.
I just finished
and loved it. I got a little worried, because Jeaniene Frost can push my buttons on the level of torture/violence in her books, but everything was hinted at, not shown, so I got through it. (I know. I'm a wimp). But Leila and Vlad were wonderful together! Really loved this book.
Judith wrote: "I just finished

I can't wait for the last one, and for any possible Night Huntress World books.
I've been reading the Sassy Mates series by Milly Taiden. I'm on
, the third book in the series. They've all been pretty good so far. They're pretty far into the erotica zone though, and more so with each book in the series. I have a couple other series by her I'd like to check out, so I'm glad I'm liking these.
It's been a while, but it seems like there were a few gory spots, though I don't really remember if there was any torture. It almost seems like the second one may have been slightly worse than the first, but still not too bad. I do love me some Vlad though!
I love Vlad, too. Wish I wasn't such a wimp. Might have to close my eyes and skim parts of his next book:)
You must not be squeamish:) But Vlad's pretty tempting. I'm finishing
right now. I love short stories, probably why I write so many of them.

Reading
Heartbroken that this is the last book :( Such an amazing series
Dos anyone know any other books/series like the Kushiel Universe?
Arielle, your the reigning champ at guess the book right? Have you caught up with Trina M. Lee's Alexa O'Brien series? I think I figured I have 2 or 3 novella/ short stories to read and one or two novels. I say two because I have to go back and read at least the end of the last one, because it's been so long. And I *HAVE* to catch up because my book boyfriend (one of many, I'm a fictional hootchie mama!) Arys has his own short story, preordered and delivered weeks ago. He's so my favorite character in that series and I need to read a whole short story in his POV!! Smashed
I have finished out the Raine Benares series, snuck in a charming historical mystery set in the golden age of the 1930s, and am now ready to start the newest Charley Davidson (Reyes!!) book.

Sometimes when you read too many series it's easy to lose track of one... Thanks so much for reminding me! And that's awesome we get a book in his POV!
I'm reading Sweep in Peace (free online serial from Ilona Andrews). Waiting with bated breath for the next installment - I refresh that page so many times a week it's not funny.

I've been trying to read stuff that's either light and fluffy, so I don't get upset if I miss a new one for a year or two, or I make sure they're already completed. The only exceptions are the really high profile stuff, like Kate Daniels, that I've been saying for MONTHS that I was going to read!!

Angie wrote: "Sandra wrote: "Beth wrote: "I'm reading Sweep in Peace (free online serial from Ilona Andrews). Waiting with bated breath for the next installment - I refresh that page so many time..."I really enjoyed NightShifted and I've read the second one and it was really good too.

My TBR is so giant at the moment that it'll be a while, but I'm going to make a note!!
Well, I'm not gonna say its great, but its different and interesting Angie. It sort of meanders around a lot, she's a nurse in a para ward that normals don't know anything about.

Finished up
which I enjoyed a lot and now am listening to
(yum Cade). The narrator of this series does a great job. Going to try to listen to one of these a month until I get caught up.Not sure what I'm going to read. Lot's of new releases yesterday. Not sure what order but the next three will be
or
or
I think Smiley will be first cuz I'm dying to know how she's going to pull off making a primate sexy.

It's his pov as to events in the last book and shortly after. It was great to hear his side of things. The author did a good job imo and kept him true to character.
