Don't forget that is book 12

[Sara]

Good call, I need to read that one too.

[Alisa]

@Dawn----I love that series and was my favorite. It's super creepy. I could barely put it down. Can't wait for the fourth one to come out.

I agree with you both. Apparently they are going to make a tv show based on it. I don't remember where I heard it, but for some reason Lifetime comes to mind for the network, but I could be very wrong on that.

I also agree. It is a fantastic series.

The announcement that they are turning it into a TV series is on Amanda Stevens' site. Not sure which network it is.

Thanks for the for sure notice Lauren! I wonder where I got Lifetime from? I sort of hope it isn't HBO or Showtime, it will end up more sex than anything, which will ruin it.

[Lauren]

The books have a lot of sexual tension between Devlin and Amelia that builds slowly and is one of the best aspects of the characters and the story. To much sex would definitely ruin it.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

was awesome!!

Asher Falls was a creepy place and I was glad to see how things worked out in the end.

As for the television show...not sure how I feel about that...but it looks like it will be on NBC so good for her that is HUGE!! but it is going to be like a soap opera...huh wonder how that will work out, not sure I have ever seen a creepy soap but then again the books are based in Charleston and there is plenty of soap opera drama there.

[Darcy]

That format should actually work for the books.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Finished

I am probably the only person in the world not rooting for Savannah and Adam. Meanwhile I think Vampire, Interrupted is probably my favorite in the series so far.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Vamp Interrupted is the one I'm up to in that series. Something to look forward to :)

[Alisa]

Just finished and am now reading It came out a month early. Love when that happens.

I think what makes Vamp Interrupted so great is that is has the one person who usually plays matchmaker. You already like her, so you want her to be happy.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Especially as she's gone missing and they're all worried, in the previous book ;)

[Sara]

I finished , , and . Thirteen was my favorite of the three because it featured the majority of the cast. Waking the Witch ties with Haunted as my least favorite of the series. I tolerate Savannah in small bits. I find her to be too obnoxious to enjoy her as the main narrator of the book. Add in the lack of appearances by the other main characters and it's not going to be a favorite of mine. As for Haunted, the parts with Eve & Kristoff and Eve & Jaime were fine, it's the cosmic parts that were boring. I didn't enjoy the cosmic parts of the final trilogy of the Women of the Otherworld either - again, it was boring. I did enjoy the appearances of Jaime, Jeremy, Karl, Benicio, Sean, Kristof, and Troy though.

Up next I am finishing my re-reads of and - there are some series I re-read on an annual basis - Mercy & Rachel top the list.

[Alisa]

Has anyone read this by Patricia Briggs? I'd never heard of it but picked it up at a dollar bookstore yesterday.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

@Darcy and Sandra
Re: Vampire Interrupted
I agree with you both plus Marguerite's marriage was such a sham so it is nice to see her actually in love
Then the whole mystery, well let me say it this way Lynsay got me totally did not see that coming.

Agreed on taking Savannah in small doses...still working on 13 but I want to see more Clay and Elena

[Thethriftybooklady]

I am currently reading Beautiful Creatures because the movie trailer made it look like it would be an awesome book. However, I think I might give it up because I just can't get into it.

[Sara]

I'm halfway through . I've read the entire main series so I just have the short stories left. After that is .

Do the Dresden Files need to be read in order?

[Darcy]

Alisa wrote: Do the Dresden Files need to be read in order?"

Yes, they build with each book. The first 3 are a little hard to get through, but once you get past them they are great! If like audios these are fantastic in audio, the only way that I read them.

I'll really forward to it now :DDDD

Alisa, I've got both Raven Set books but haven't read them yet. Her early work is interesting but more fantasy based.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Finished this morning. The World of the Lupi is extremely well done and I really, really want to read the next book, but I've got others I have to read first :(

Saying that, its back to which I'm also enjoying.

Thanx...I've been collecting them as I often see them at thrift shops, etc. Need to start them soon.

[Alisa]

I finished which I liked better than the first one in the series. I also finished Made me feel melancholy. I like this series because it's dark and not the normal HEA but this one was, as the title suggested, even darker. It was good though. Just hate seeing characters I like suffer so much. Moving on to a beta read of a contemporary romance then to

Don't forget the buddy read of started yesterday. Still time to join in the discussion. Check out the thread in buddy read section.

It is a two part series. It was the last thing she wrote before Mercy. Also it is striaght out fantasy. All that being said it is a good book.

[Mike]

I am reading it is written by one of the contestants from King of the Nerds. It is actually pretty good. And I am thinking of starting , I tried it once but couldn't get into it, but everyone says that theseries is fantastic, so I guess I will give it another try.

Next up for me are (not sure why I keep reading this series as it has gone down hill, but I do)

[Mike]

Darcy wrote: "Next up for me are ..."

I agree that Mary Janice Davidson's Betsy books have gone way down hill. I stopped a few books back.

I read the first few books but that was a series that I cold never fully get into

[Darcy]

Mike wrote: "I agree that Mary Janice Davidson's Betsy books have gone way down hill. I stopped a few books back."

I was all set to give this series up a couple of books back, but then something big happened and I had get the next one. That seems to be how she goes now. I am just ready to quit, but then something major happens in the last few pages that is cliff hangery.

This one has a little more potential as it combines Betsy and Fred, from her mermaid series, I liked that one.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I've read up to #7 and I don't think I'll read the rest. I kept hearing that they just weren't any good and I thought, why bother.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Oh I like Fred....

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Well, while I'm still reading and enjoying it, came in the post today. And I'm almost finished it :DDDD

[Darcy]

Dawn wrote: "Oh I like Fred...."

Yeah, it could be the only saving grace.

Sandra wrote: "Well, while I'm still reading and enjoying it, came in the post today. And I'm almost finished it :DDDD"

I liked Wild Invitation.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yay Darcy!!! I loved it!!!!

That Coop was smokin hot!!

And Walker had hidden depths.

Really looking forward to the next Psy-Changeling book :DD

[Darcy]

For sure!

[Alisa]

I'm reading and then I have two ARC's to finish. After that I just don't know. My friend & I bought 81 books at the dollar bookstore this weekend & I'm like a kid at Willie Wonkas. I really don't know where to start. Some of my options:

[Darcy]

From those you have listed you have good ones Alisa. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. If it matters Blood Magic, Storm Born are series that are done. Second Skin hasn't had a new book in that series for a couple of years, so it might be done.

[Alisa]

Just finished This is the third book in the series. Each book gets a little better. I really like it. The author does a good job of introducing new characters and making you look forward to the next book.

Going to read because I think I'm one of the few people who hasn't read any of this series.

[Thethriftybooklady]

Well I gave up on Beautiful Creatures because I just could not get into it. Now I'm reading Fifty Shades Darker. And I'm almost done. All the talk about the Fifty shades books got me curious and so far their not great but I'm intrigued.

I liked Fifty Shades too. They are not going to win a Pulitzer but whatever. I liked the second one the best.

[Alisa]

I've been hearing all over that a bunch of people got their copy of downloaded to their Kindles yesterday instead of next weeks release date. What!!!!??? I keep checking mine. My copy's not there :( Oh well going to finish

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

I am reading


Finished

just love Jane very funny as a mom

this was better than I expected.
