[Jenne]

Happy Easter everyone!

[Christal]

Hope everyone had a good Easter :)

[Daffodil]

It's a good thing I posted my last review right away on the 25th, I spent the rest of the week home sick.

I'm going to have to think about the orange book. I think is more yellow, so I'll have to look over my options.

[★Meghan★]

A little late, but my computer wasn't playing nice yesterday. Happy Easter to you as well! I am already more than half way through . I think it is helping this week that one of my groups is having a read-a-thon that was from Saturday through Monday :)

[Daffodil]

I started for my Orange cover.

[Jenne]

Ooh that looks good Daffodil!

Week 10 review:
Space 119: orange
Finished 3/4/13
4 & 1/2 stars!

It's amazing that Kitty has time to breathe key alone deal with everything. This book is jammed packed! It has a nice little cliffhanger for the baddie at the end too. Humour adds a nice touch as always.

Belinda, so glad there aren't any spoilers. LOL. I'll be reading this one very soon, like shortly after it hits my mailbox.

[Belinda]

I try to avoid spoilers! I hate it when I read someone else's review and find out what happens....

But you'll love it when it arrives :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yay!!!!

[★Meghan★]

I am also already done with my book but since I only slept 2 hours yesterday before going to work I am going to get some sleep then I will post my review

Meghan's Space 119 Review

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
Book Completed: 4/2/2013
Book Rating: ★★★★½

Review:
It is about high time that I read a really good book!

This is just the book that I needed to get me out of the funk I was in with mediocre books.

I am really really glad that this book was set with two different timelines. If it was set in a semi-orderly fashion, I think I would have been completely annoyed until over half way through the book. I am also glad that this book didn't really follow too closely in the footsteps of the first book in the series. I was extremely disappointed in the first book in the series and was actually avoiding reading this book for that reason.

This book had lots of action and growth within the book. It wasn't quite as lovey-dovey as the first in the series. All the characters had their own little qualities to them that made them all unique, but strong in their own liking. I love how strong Lena became as a character in this book compared to the first book.

I am actually really excited to read the last book in the series. Especially with the way the book ended, I couldn't ask for a better cliffhanger and lots of unanswered questions to be answered in the next installment. I want to know especially what happens with the love triangle, which is not normal for me since I usually hate love triangles. (view spoiler)[I mean what can you expect when Lena realizes that she comes in contact with her mother however she doesn't see or meet her. Plus the fact that her lover, Alex, comes back from the dead right after she is just starting to accept the fact that he is dead and starts to fall in love with Julian. It actually makes me look forward to this little love triangle. (hide spoiler)]

Review:
So so so good! I enjoyed this one even more than the first. Leila gets to kick some butt, Vlad shows us his softer side (every now and then), and the banter between the two of them was great! Some pretty smoking hot scenes in there as well.... I have to admit I wasn't 100% sold on Leila in the first book but I sure am now! She has no fear standing up to Vlad and her powers are quite formidable. I have missed the NH world and it was great to get back to it! Now we just need Up From the Grave to hurry and get here!

[Belinda]

updated so far.

just an FYI: sunday will either be a slightly eariler draw or a later one as i'm working nights this weekend. if everyone has their reviews in early i'll draw before i go to sleep otherwise it will be when i get up in the afternoon :)

Kiss & Hell, Dakota Cassidy, 4-5-13
Rating: 3 stars
Review: I liked the idea of this more than the actual read itself. It had a perfectly funny setup. Girl who sees ghosts meets cute boy, who just happens to be the newly dead demon assigned to bring her back to hell. Delaney and Clyde were a cute couple, figuring out why Lucifer was really after Delaney and what really happened to Clyde made for an interesting plot. But for me, it all fell apart whenever Delaney opened her mouth to speak. Every conversation, or even thought stream, was peppered with "hell to the yeah" and other gangsta speak. It just didn't fit my mental image of Delaney and caused quite a disconnect in the reading process. So I probably will not be picking up the sequel to read.

[Daffodil]

I picked up at Wally World tonight, so I'm ready if you call orange again. LOL.

[Belinda]

Bring on tomorrow morning! I've only listening to my audiobook ATM and have nothing to physically read. I'm lost! But not wanting to start something yet.....

[Belinda]

just waiting on crystal's review of twice tempted and we're ready to go!

[Jenne]

So it looks like one team is about to go out they were in space 134 last week :(

[Belinda]

i was thinking it was going to finish this week or next at the latest. at least we have one more book to read together!

[Christal]

I'm almost done. I'll have my review up shortly, promise!

[Belinda]

[Christal]

Ok, I'm on my phone so I'm going to have to keep this short.

Finished today, 6 Apr.

Review: I think I enjoyed this one even more than Once Burned. I really like Layla and Vlad was super hot. Can't wait to read the last book in the trilogy!

[Jenne]

It's one of my all time favorite series! I absolutely love it :)

[Daffodil]

I was looking forward to reading , but when I picked it up I realized the cover is purple. So I started instead.

[Jenne]

It looks like a couple of teams can go out this week provided they get their reads done. I just wanted to tell y'all I had a great time being part of this team and this has been a ton of fun! Thanks B for all of your being a good captain too!

[★Meghan★]

It looks like Team 5 just put in their reviews for the win! It was great fun playing with you guys.

It stinks because I was just starting to finish my books earlier in the week since my days off changed back to Sunday and Monday. (I just finished my Blue book for this week).

[Belinda]

It was fun while it lasted! Thanks everyone - I really enjoyed this one :D

[Christal]

It was great playing with y'all! Thanks for being such a great team :-)

[Daffodil]

Thanks for all the fun! I'm going to go ahead and post my last review anyway.

Better Off Undead, D.D. Barant, 4-10-13
Rating: 4.5 stars

Review:Since arriving on Thropirelem, her name for this alternate Earth, Jace has had to make quite a few adjustments. Not only do Lycanthropes, Vampires and Golems exist, but humans are a less than 1% minority. Karmic (comic) Books are outlawed spells that can set future events. And a time-warping sword can completely unravel a man's life, mentally change his key decisions and remake him into a cold-blooded killer, all while those around him still remember the man he was.

Jace has real hope that Tair can be altered back into her good friend, but events once again spiral out of control and she ends up infected with the Thrope virus. Not wanting to loose her humanity, she undergoes a risky procedure to let the Thrope and Pire viruses battle it out and hopefully cancel out each other. She may be experiencing new feelings & hyped up senses, but she still manages to remain on the job.

Events can sometimes get complicated & confusing for the reader as well as Jace, but with each book I get a clearer handle on the world and it takes me less time to orient myself and remember previous events. In Better of Undead, events moved as quickly as before, but I never felt lost and really enjoyed following along as Jace investigated the Mafia murders, tried to get Tair to accept the "cure" and fought to stay human.

A great read and I'm definitely going to continue with the series.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Excellent Daffodil, I've got this series up to #5, but I haven't started it yet. Glad its still good!

[Jenne]

I hope it's ok to ask this here (if not I'll more than happily delete my comment) if any of y'all are interested The Challenge Factory has a team challenge, words with gr friends that's needing a player to fill in for one that's gone missing.

[Belinda]
