I finished listening to Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill and because of the shocking ending I'm jumping right into the next book, Drink Deep.

If you had to choose between starting this series or JR Ward's BDB, which would you pick?

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 15063 comments Mod
BDB, no question.


message 904: by Quynh (new)

Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments I haven't read Chicagoland Vampires, but my vote is for BDB too. >_> lol. I can't wait for The King! 2 more weeks!

One more week:)

Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments Oh yes! I can't count. Obviously. That just made it even better. :D

That's what I thought...I'm trying to choose a "new" to me series for a challenge I'm starting April 1 and I'm pretty sure my choice is going to be BDB.

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 15063 comments Mod
GREAT decision:)


message 909: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) Excellent decision, Sandra! That is one addictive series. Other than the In Death books, the BDB books are the only others that I read in (practically) one sitting. Can't wait for The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #12) by J.R. Ward to come out!

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11216 comments Mod
My challenge is all about reading either authors or series that are new to you. BDB has been on my list forever but just never started it for some reason. But then, my tbr list is full of great series that I want/need to read. As of right now, BDB will most likely be my first one for the challenge.

I finished Shadow Spell and must confess to mixed feelings about it. I'm starting Stars & Stripes (Cut & Run, #6) by Abigail Roux


message 921: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments I just finished listening to Blackberry Winter by Sarah Jio. This was a pretty good mystery, and I didn't get the "bad guy" until the author wanted me to, which can be pretty rare.


message 922: by Sheri (new)

Sheri Morell (smorell22) | 2165 comments getting ready to start reading Alone by Lisa Gardner


message 923: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Michael Read Don't Look Away (Veronica Sloan - Book 1) by Leslie A. Kelly which I got as a free download and liked it well enough I immediately bought the second book of the series Don't Ever Stop (Veronica Sloan - Book 2) by Leslie A. Kelly

Some similarities to the In Death series, police/procedural set in the future after more 9/11 type attacks, new high tech which is used in law enforcement, strong female main character. Characters aren't as vividly developed, much more emphasis on the police/detective plotting, not as much humor or romance but overall a very promising series so far.

Thanks for this feedback, Sharon. It's helpful.

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 15063 comments Mod
It's one of the best parts of the story.


message 928: by Quynh (new)

Quynh (quynh_o) | 1269 comments Finished Forbidden (Southern Comfort #2) by Lisa Clark O'Neill . The suspense worked better in this book. Quite enjoyed it! Now I'm just waiting for tomorrow for The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #12) by J.R. Ward .

I'm pacing myself with smaller series. Can't binge read for another 3 weeks or so.

Me too! I'm finishing Shock & Awe (Sidewinder, #1) by Abigail Roux and starting Guarding Suzannah (Serve and Protect, #1) by Norah Wilson later today. I've got so many good books lined up to read! :)

Penni | 816 comments Will be awhile before I can start magpie reads. Have them all lined up tho


message 939: by Sheri (new)

Sheri Morell (smorell22) | 2165 comments I just finished reading Alone (Detective D.D. Warren, #1) by Lisa Gardner . I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the book the first part of it but ended up really getting into and I have just started the second one Hide (Detective D.D. Warren, #2) by Lisa Gardner


message 940: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) I finished reading Without Consent by Frances Fyfield yesterday. I really enjoyed. Sad to know it was the last Helen West novels. These books are all about the same size as your basic cozy mystery, but they're not cozies. The main character is a strong woman, a Crown Prosecutor (district attorney). The crimes and the criminals are not cut and dried. The bad guys aren't all bad. If you liked Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren, you'll probably like these.

I'm reading The Wicked Flea (A Dog Lover's Mystery, #14) by Susan Conant and listening to Treasure Of Khan (Dirk Pitt, #19) by Clive Cussler today.


message 941: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments Listening to a The Shadow and the Star, by Laura Kinsale. I must admit this is one of my favorites of her titles. I actually like the heroine.

Not familiar with this author....


message 943: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments Oh wow. I fell in love with her books last year. My faves right now are Prince of Midnight, My Sweet Folly and The Shadow and the Star. She paired up with Nicholas Boulton for audiobooks about a year ago, and he is great. They are hard to put into just the romance category, as there is so much more than just romance in them. They are really deep, often mentally exhausting books. This one is a lighter (for a Kinsale book) story. They all have some social significance in them. I highly recommend them.


message 944: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 3250 comments Oh...Dream Hunter is really good too

I wasn't sure from just the synopsis that I would read this one, but your review has convinced me to give it a try. Great job!
