Half way through with Brawn, Edge of Dawn just might have to wait a day this is becoming my new fave of the series
:( Bummer. I like gritty, so many I'd like it more. We'll see. SO many others have priority.Finally finished Once Bitten. NOT jumping into #2. I need a break from Alexa's dramas. Oh I dislike love triangles. Bleh!
Not yet sure what I'll start next.
Brawn, New Species series was the best in the set so far. I'm moving onto Wrath the next book because Edge of Dawns release date must of been moved, darn it I got so excited when my calendar reminder went off!

Regina, I loved the audio for How to Flirt. Such a fun listen.
Finished a couple shorties
&
. Both of which would have been a lot better if they'd been made into a novel vs. novella. 2.5-3★ each. I'll read
next to see how I like Shawntelle's Coveted series. Has anyone read those books yet? I have book #1 and 0.5 is a freebie.

Me too. I'm not a love triangle fan. Why are they used so often, especially in YA?

Yep, fantastic, deeply scary, I was sorta expecting it and no I'm not telling ya anything else. ROFL.
As to Shantelle's series, I've just got #1
and didn't realise there was a prequel. Off to investigate :DETA: LOL. Investigation shows I picked up the Kindle freebie, forgot & haven't read it yet :D

LOL Sandra! Well, I'll have to start the series and find out for myself then, I guess. :)
LOL! I'll let ya know how they are.

I think I gave both books 4 stars but I liked the first one the best. Just an FYI, they have a bit of a love triangle but it seems to be resolved at the end of the second book.
I love your review for the first one christal. I downloaded the prequel. Can't want to start. So I started last night and finished this morning at predawn
and I loved it. it was so good. Great characters. Great build.
Steph, we must've read
at the same time! Insta-love central, that one.Also read
. The last one was the was pretty strong for a shorty.Currently reading

I just finished the audio of
-- the audio was so much fun! Now I am sorry that I cancelled my audible membership as audible seems to be the only place to get the audio version of #2.
Steph wrote: "YA is FULL of the triangles. I knew of few girls/boys in my school that two or more beaus. Dunno the reason(s). But, definitely know I'm not a fan of them in books."I think that's why I don't like love triangles. They are so unrealistic. Seriously, how often does that happen in real life? And yes, I know most of the books I read have magic, vampires, fae, and werewolves in them, but I need at least some realism in there. :)
I'm not a fan of the triangle either. Finished
and I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could. Gonna be extremely hard to review without spoilers. The whole book is a spoiler!!!!
Turned everything before it on its head - in a good way not a ridiculous author trying to salvage the book way. ROFL.
Thanks, Christal. I'm just starting book 1 and enjoying it so far. So going though, only b/c of RL stuffs. NightDrake would have been SO much better, IMO, if she'd worked it into a series starter. Standing alone and as short as it is ... fail for me.
LOL I know exactly what you mean, Jean! I have NO problem with immortal-what-evers, but throw in a 15-16 year old who has 2+ drop-dead, gorgeous (always) guys after her and I can't stand it.

I've read the first of Kara Gillian and have the second but none of the rest are on kindle yet :(
I'm reading
- one of those addictive books!
Just finished Wrath, New Species 6. It wasn't my favorite from the series but it was a good read, moving onto Tiger book 7.
Finished
and enjoyed it, just not enough to jump immediately into book #1. I do plan to read it soon though. Natalya's got one wicked OCDemon. Also read
, which was heavy on the sex (you'll never hear me complain about that) and speedy ILUs, but decent. Too bad it's not a series short.Kinda in a rut on what to read. Glad FL is starting up soon. Hoping it'll resuscitate my reading mojo.
Tiger, book 7 was really good I'm onto book 8 almost caught up in the series then ill have my usual withdrawals awaiting the next book in the series and a hard time picking something new I'm torn between Warm Bodies and the Casters series
My husband read the Odd Thomas books, Tiffani. He said the first several were good, but the final one was off, whatever that means. LOL! I haven't read them.
I finished listening to
(3★) and started one of Drake's Asylum prequels
. Looking forward to your thoughts on that one, Jackie. I recently read it myself.
Steph, I found that the prequels to Drake's Asylum series was not as polished as book 1. In other words, the prequels are nice because they set the supporting characters up but they have an unfinished quality to them.
Done with
. It may not be Kate Daniels brand of awesome but it sure was the best book of the Edge series.
I only got into the first two chapters before going to bed last night, and it's looking good. After shoveling snow this morning, the rest of the day will be spent with Judson and Gwen. :-)

I'm definitely going to read the other prequel and book 1. I really liked Drake's Dark Days series, so I'm excited to read about this new world she's created w/this series. I like that there are all sorts of supernaturals in it. :D
I'm reading
.
Well, I have a lot to read right now apparently. I am currently reading
as well as
and I am going to try and re-read
in anticipation for the movie (I only got thru about 100 pages the last time I attempted to read it)...There are just wayyyyy too many books for me to read right now and I have a whole pile of ARC's and books I have purchased that I can't even get to! How do ya'll keep up!? lol
