Finished: 2/26/13
5 stars!

This book was fabulous! The world was fantastic. I was drawn in from the start.

I really liked all the characters, though something in the back of my mind tells me to not trust Hunter... And I totally loved Lucas! I also wanted Mila to forget about Kaylee. Ugh Kaylee. I hope we never see her again. EVER!

The story was fast paced and very hard to put down. I definitely recommend!

JennyWren (guinivere87) | 174 comments I need to change my book. Too confusing, have to read book 2 and 3 of the Dark Protectors series first.

So, I'll be reading Lord of the Fading Lands. My copy looks blue not purple. If that isn't ok I'll read Lady of Light and Shadows instead.

Lord of the Fading Lands (Tairen Soul, #1) by C.L. Wilson Lady of Light and Shadows (Tairen Soul, #2) by C.L. Wilson

AH | 2271 comments 2/26/13 - Finished my blue book read:
The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2) by Julie Kagawa - 4 stars

The Eternity Cure is the second installment of Julie Kagawa's Blood of Eden series. What I liked about this book was how Alison persisted in maintaining her humanity, no matter what. There's a lot of surprises in this book and I don't want to give anything away. In this book, Alison has to find the cure to a new strain of Red Lung disease which affects both humans and vampires. A fantastic, action packed, edge of your seat read.

Did you see the cover they finally put on it aside from that blue one? It isn't showing on here, but it is on netgalley. I think it's pretty.

I am so glad I picked up this book. I read and listened to it on my iPod. I could picture the characters when I hard the narrator do all the voices. I have to say Zuzanna was my favorite character. I really don't know if I like Akiva. Back to the the narrator when she did Razgut was juat creepy.

Much nicer cover. It ties into the first book nicely. They finally made Allison Asian looking, unlike the first cover.

Megan L Harnett Charming the Highlander (Highlander, #1) by Janet Chapman

Finished: 2/27/13
Rating: ★★★★☆


This is a story of Grace Sutter who is a brilliant mathematician. Her sister is killed in an automobile accident and she is sent to Maine to her hometown to bury her sister and deliver her sister's baby to the father. She meets Greylan MacKeague who is a Highlander from 800 years in the past who has been brought through time in order to meet her.

This book was really good. I like the cute story and all the adventures along the way. It was a sweet love story and i am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

JennyWren (guinivere87) | 174 comments Lady of Light and Shadows (Tairen Soul, #2) by C.L. Wilson

Finished: 28/2/2013
Rating: ★★★★★

I love C.L. Wilson's Tairen Soul series and will be reading all of her books. It's hard to find a classical fantasy story with such a beautifully written romance. Ellie and Rain are one of my favourite couples but I also like to read about Ellie's sisters and her quintet. I hope each of those fierce warriors finds their truemate. I'd love for Wilson to give them each their own book. Anyway, the books keep getting better and I can't wait to see how powerful Ellie gets.

Megan L Harnett Ok Ladies we are posted for the week! Good Job! I might be a little later for the next draw like around 7 or 8pm EST on Saturday. I been realizing that 6 pm usually conflicts with my dinner time. :)

AH | 2271 comments 3/3/13 - Finished my purple book - Fatal Affair (Fatal, #1) by Marie Force - 4 stars

I picked this up as a freebie a while back and have been meaning to read this. I started it this morning and literally did not put it down until I finished it this afternoon. Fatal affair is the story of Sam Holland, a police detective who is called to the scene of a prominent senator's murder. She meets Nick Cappuano, the senator's chief of staff and her former lover at the scene of the crime. There's still chemistry between Sam and Nick and the two work together to find the senator's murderer.

I really enjoyed this book. There were enough twists and turns to keep the story interesting and the romance between Sam and Nick was hot. I'll definitely be looking for more books by this author.

Hi Stephanie I would say we have at least 3 weeks left. The furthest team is on space 119 so to get to 138 I would say best case(for them) 2-3 weeks before they win. But you never know!

Stephanie (Reading is Better With Cupcakes) (imjustcupcake) | 255 comments 25% of the way in and I feel like I have read repeats of character descriptions (especially of Barrons). And a lot of remembering of the last book. I hope it picks up the pace and gets its own (and an actual) storyline soon.

The series gets better from books 3,4,&5. Moning has very evil cliffhangers.

Hang in there it does get better! In fact it gets so good you won't want to put the books down. This was one of those series that I was sad to finish because they were so good!

Megan L Harnett The Last Echo (The Body Finder, #3) by Kimberly Derting

Finished: 3/6/13

Rating: ★★★☆☆

This is the conclusion of the Body Finder Series. It picks up were the last one ends with Violet working for the FBI helping solve cases with here unique ability. She can find dead bodies and find the people that kill them. She is a teenager trying to deal with real life while trying to catch a killer until she ends up as his next victim.

This series was pretty good. I listened to the first two on audiobook and maybe I should have done that for the third. It concluded nicely and I enjoyed it.

Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments Fated (Soul Seekers, #1) by Alyson Noel

Finished: 3/7/13
Rating: ★★★★☆

I liked this book ok. It was a good book but not my favorite. I will go on with this series. I want to see how it ends. The characters were ok but not great. I couldn't really see why Daire liked Dace. Don't get me wrong I do like Dace but I don't see how they fit together.

Stephanie (Reading is Better With Cupcakes) (imjustcupcake) | 255 comments So based on my work sched for the rest of this week I will tell you guys now, that my review will probably not be up until pretty much drawing time or slightly after typical drawing time. I close the next two nights, then open on Saturday (where I get off right around drawing time).

Just to give you guys a heads up. Im a bit more than half way through it now. Just reached Part 2 last night.


message 197: by Megan L (new)

Megan L Harnett Hey Steph,

I can push it back until either 10pm Saturday night or first thing Sunday morning.

Stephanie (Reading is Better With Cupcakes) (imjustcupcake) | 255 comments Well false warning. I got it done last night and had time to write my review today before work =)

Faefever (Fever, #3) by Karen Marie Moning
Finished: 3/8/13
3 stars

I wanted to love this book, but I couldn't. A good portion of the book was retelling all the stuff that happened in the previous books. I don't mind a little refresher on the story, but I don't want a huge chunk of this story to be a refresher.

I was also getting annoyed with Mac wanting to know what Barrons is. I get it, you don't know. An author should know that they don't have to shove it down a readers throat every other page that the main character doesn't know and wants to know. I do want to know too. The author has achieved that curiosity in me, the reader, so she doesn't need to make me choke on it. I almost don't care what he is anymore thanks to Mac's obsession.

I also get how much Mac misses her stupid blonde hair. There are ways to show that a character has changed other than having the character point it out to the reader over and over again. When the characters attempting to point it out, it doesn't really make it all that believable.

Sandra | 25908 comments Time is past due - well over 12 hours since drawing should have taken place. As Team #2 has already defaulted this week, sorry guys but so have you, unless there is a big mitigating factor.

So Team #3 - Miss a Turn.

Make sure Jennifer posts her review so you can play next week.
