Sandra | 25908 comments I've got the first couple of those ones Steph Ann, but I haven't read them, so I hope they're good ;)

Lis | 4037 comments I'm going with How to Date a Werewolf (Rylie Cruz #1) by Rose Pressey . If it flops then I will switch to Hunting Julian (Gatherers, #1) by Jacquelyn Frank


message 254: by Isha (new)

Isha Would this work for purple Killing Time (One Eyed Jacks, #1) by Cindy Gerard ?


message 255: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yes Nikita ;)


message 256: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments I've started Karma Girl (Bigtime, #1) by Jennifer Estep and it's different but quite good so I think I'll stick with that one :)

D.G. | 2752 comments I still haven't chosen my book! But I will definitely start today. :)


message 258: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Good Luck D.G. :D

Sandra, I remember really enjoying the first one. It's apparently been awhile since I read it though because I'm having a really hard time following what's going on right now in the 2nd book. I'm only 5% in though, so I'm sure it'll get better, lol.

D.G. | 2752 comments I settled on Fatal Affair (Fatal, #1) by Marie Force and it's going so good!


message 261: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments Well, I'm set if purple is called again. ALL the books in the 'Fatal' series have a purple cover. I wonder if that's good for sales? People may think they already read the books, specially because all the titles start with 'Fatal'.


message 262: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Obviously their marketing people were taking a break the day they decided that. I hate when books look & sound toooo much like others in the series. They need to be at least different colours.


message 263: by D.G. (last edited Mar 04, 2013 07:23AM) (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments Yes, I think it's a mistake as well. If you want continuity in the covers, that's why you have fonts and style. Colors should definitely be different. I mean, look at these! They all seem like the same book!

Fatal Justice (Fatal #2) by Marie Force Fatal Consequences (Fatal, #3) by Marie Force Fatal Destiny (Fatal, #3.5) by Marie Force Fatal Flaw (Fatal, #4) by Marie Force Fatal Deception (Fatal, #5) by Marie Force


message 264: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Its definitely a Fatal Flaw. LOL.

I have a lot of books, and its hard to keep track sometimes, so every bit helps, and those covers don't help at all.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It must certainly is!

Maybe that's why she's been giving away the first book in the series. I got it as a freebie first from Amazon and then I got the audio for $4.95.

Lis | 4037 comments How to Date a Werewolf (Rylie Cruz #1) by Rose Pressey

Title/Author  How to Date a Werewolf by Rose Pressey
Series: Rylie Cruz #1
Finished: 3/5/2013
Rating: ★★★
Space: #99 Purple Cover 

Fun story of a single werewolf, Rylie Cruz who runs a dating service for paranormal creatures from an office below her apartment in the French quarter in New Orleans. She is dealing with the mystery of who is trying to sabotage her business and getting help from her human roommate Jennifer and the new hunky neighbor a shrink. Very good read if you are looking for some light fun reading and not bothered by side stories that are not wrapped up.


message 267: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments I picked that one up as a freebie Lis, good to know its good. The side stories will probably be wrapped in the following couple of books ;)


message 268: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments My book started soo good and now it's soo boring! I don't know if there's anything more tiring than following around a cop for every second of the day. I'm tired on her behalf (the woman almost never sleeps.)

Also, the relationship is boring, boring. So far it's mostly: I cannot be with you because of the investigation but the guy keeps insisting. I mean, give her a break! Why can't you understand that it's not good for her career to fool around with a material witness?

I have high hopes that it improves but I'm really tempt it to dnf it.


message 269: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Oh no, sounds like its Fatally Flawed rather than an Affair to Remember. *snicker*

There's still time to switch to something else if you want to D.G., how far did you get?

On a happier note, I'm nearly finished mine, another 30 pages or so ;)


message 270: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments I'm about 1/3 of the way in. But the book fits 2 other challenges I'm in so I'll continue giving it a try. I'm just hoping it improves.


message 271: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Fingers crossed for you :D

Sandra | 25908 comments Karma Girl (Bigtime, #1) by Jennifer Estep
6/3/13 ★★★
Week #6: Purple
Space: #99


Karma Girl was like watching a full length Saturday morning cartoon; cheesy, over the top, surprising and predictable with added spandex.

Carmen Cole, reporter, on her wedding day gets a bad feeling and goes to see her fiance to find out what is bothering him. She discovers him getting busy with Carmen's best friend the bridesmaid, she also discovers he is a superhero and the friend is an ubervillain.

Thus a revenge crazed Carmen sets out to unmask all superheroes and villains, no matter who they are, until she hits Bigtime and the hero commits suicide when he's exposed.

Of course, that's not the whole story, there are lots of twists and turns even if you can see who the heroes and villains are long before Carmen can. That's how cartoons are.

Lots of fun.

Sandra | 25908 comments I think it would be an acquired taste :D


message 276: by Steph Ann (new)

Steph Ann | 1220 comments I should have my book finished tomorrow. I haven't had as much time to read this week as usual. Real life should know better than to get in the way of my reading time, lol. :)


message 277: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Always the way.

Last week we welcomed a great nephew, Liam, to the world, and this week a great niece, Violet.

I've only seen Violet so far and she's gorgeous :)


message 278: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments Congrats, Sandra!

Book: Fatal Affair (Fatal, #1) by Marie Force by Marie Force
Spot + Color: #99 Purple
Rating: - ★★½
Finished: Mar 7, 2013
Review: This book started great. The mystery was multi-layered with a complex victim. Most of the time in mysteries/romantic suspense, murdered people are just bodies and the reader rarely gets to see them as real people with virtues and vices. Not in this one. The friends and family of the murdered Senator showed real grief at his passing and it was wonderful to see Nick, the hero, being overwhelmed by the murder of his best friend.

But around a third of the way in, the story became dragging and boring. At this point, the focus was on the investigation and we had to see every single interview Sam (the heroine) conducted and her pushing around all the witnesses.

Even though I had problems with this book, I was considering checking out the rest of the series until I learned the rest of the books in the series feature the same couple! I didn't like Sam enough to be in her head so much.

Congratulations! I miss the new baby stage... I hope you are able to spoil them!


message 282: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Violet is the only one that lives fairly close, my sis's first grandchild, so no doubt spoiling will happen :DD

Demon Moon (The Guardians, #2) by Meljean Brook

Read: 3/7/13
Rating: 4 stars

Review:

I haven't read that many books by Meljean Brook, but I find I really enjoy her writing style. This book was no different in that regard. The main characters here are Colin and Savi, who we met in book 1. Other returning characters include book 1 main characters Lilith and Hugh, as well as Sir Pup, the three-headed hellhound.

It took me awhile to get into the book, mainly because it had been so long since I read book 1, and I was having a very hard time remembering what happened and the intricacies of the world Brook has created. Once my memory was refreshed, however, I greatly enjoyed the story, and I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. My one negative would be (view spoiler). I'll definitely be reading book 3 sooner rather than later!!


message 288: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Thanks Steph Ann ;)

And I'm glad you liked it :)


message 289: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 2752 comments So which colors are you guys hoping for this week? I'd really like Green - there's a book I'd DYING to listen.

If we don't get Green, then I hope for Yellow or even another Purple. We've been moving at a snail's pace the last two weeks so I'd like something that would move us forward!

(Hope I'm not jinxing us, LOL!)


message 290: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Green, Purple, Orange & I've found another Red :)

Got a blue library book I should read soonish, as well.


message 291: by Steph Ann (new)

Steph Ann | 1220 comments I FINALLY got my hands on a copy of Ever After (The Hollows, #11) by Kim Harrison , so I'd really love to be able to read that. I've literally been stalking my library's website for the past few weeks to see where I was in the holds queue for this book, lol.


message 292: by Lis (new)

Lis | 4037 comments That was a good one Steph Ann! Yellow for me...

And Sandra I saw you were reading Feral Sins (The Phoenix Pack, # 1) by Suzanne Wright and had to check it out, so I downloaded to browse and I'm at 65% done...


message 293: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yep, I'm blaming Regina. LOL. I loved it, and I just noticed she's finished it too, and loved it :D


message 294: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Oh and Lis, when you've finished, you can read the orgy scene on her website. It's the deleted scene from the original edition :DDDDD Steamin!!!!!

Isha Week 6: Purple

Book: Killing Time (One Eyed Jacks, #1) by Cindy Gerard by Cindy Gerard
Rating: ★★★★
Finished: 8 March 2013
Review:

Killing time is the first book in Cindy Gerard One Eyed Jacks series.
Cindy Gerard has always managed to find a great balance between the romance and suspense in her books.

Killing time had plenty of action right from the start and Mike and Eva were sizzling hot as a couple but I found the romance aspect lacking in their relationship and found it harder to buy into their love.

The story progresses at a great pace and the author did a great job with character development. The best thing about Killing Time for me were the characters, Primetime was very sexy and lovable as a hero and Eva was one of the best heroine's I've come across in a romantic suspense. She was smart, sexy and kick-ass.

Killing Time was a great start to the series and I look forward to reading more about Taggart and Cooper who were breifly introduced towards the second half of the book
