I'm reading .

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I had no idea that the Reisz book was out. I haven't been getting galleys lately or I might have been paying attention that it was getting close to release.

Finished and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I had so many rants and complaints about books 1 and 2 of this series, but felt like this new book finally hit the notes of what I want to read in a MC book (after being burned by so many bad ones). The drama was not overdone for the situation, the female lead was strong and not an idiot like the two previous women, and the buildup of sexual tension worked. Now I can finally feel comfortable continuing the series without wondering why I'm still reading. I'm looking forward to Picnic's book.

[Anna (Bobs Her Hair)]

I've started . I'm not finished with . The heroine spends so much of the story in her head. It's an enjoyable place to be, but there needs to be more action and dialogue.

Book three is my favorite of the series so far. I really liked the heroine. She was feisty and strong, without being a bitch. I feel like authors sometimes cross that line with heroines; in an effort to make them look tough, they just end up unlikable.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

She was, Angie!

I wasn't a big fan of book 2 either, but it was slightly better than the first. It wasn't until book 3 that I really liked what was happening.

i'm glad i have something to look forward to in bk3. hehe

[Domino (aka Meme)]

had to take a pause on Tied Up, Tied Down. it's a bit boring. so i started listening to . love this raw and gritty MC series =D

[Tellulah]

Finished The other two books in the trilogy were kind of hit and miss for me but this was a 5 star read.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

finished Unattainable. another good one by Sheehan. next is . it's been a bit since i've read some Cat and Bones. can't wait to dig in =D

I couldn't stand the first book but loved parts of it. I loved the idea of the history, the academia and the group of people working together. I hated the dynamics of the relationship between the two main characters. What made you end up love this book but made you lukewarm about the first two?

I've wondered about that myself. I think it was that I was finally deep enough into the relationships and interpersonal dynamics that the only place to go was playing out everything that had taken two books to set up. Lots of characters but they had purpose instead "hey let's now add these people to the mix."

I also really enjoyed the blood rage/genetics component of the story as well. The characters involved in that aspect added a much needed sense of fun to the world.

[Tellulah]

Got Solid writing - I just wish the mystery hadn't been exactly as expected.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm in the mood for a good historical, so I started last night. I'm a little over halfway through, and it's a lot darker than most historicals I've read. Really good read so far.

[Courtney]

Finished which was just alright. Let's just say I'm happy that it didn't cost me anything for the kindle edition.

Going to read either or .

[Ian]

I vote for The Duke's Holiday which is awesome sauce.

I'm just starting The Shambling Guide to New York City...tourism for zombies, should be good, I hope it's good.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I've had Shambling on my list for a while. I'll be looking out to see what you think of it.

Courtney, a few of us here absolutely love Bronze Horseman. *waits for Leea to pop in*

[Courtney]

I've actually read about 30% of the Bronze Horseman quite a while ago but never continued. I'm going to try and finish it before my last summer is over!

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm starting . Megan Hart wrote one of the stories. This is only my second read of hers, but I really enjoyed my first so I'm excited for this one!

[Domino (aka Meme)]

have fun Angie. i love Megan Hart =D

[Tellulah]

I'm on an m/m romance kick. Finished and really liked it. Had only read 1 other of Damon Suede's which didn't do anything for me. Wondering what to read next.

finished Up From the Grave and it was good. now listening to but i don't like the narrator. not sure if i will continue the listen cause it's too distracting.

Meme...the narrator for the Night Huntress series is fabulous if you like audio books!

[Courtney]

I just finished and it was hilarious. I loved it! Thank you, Ian, for putting it on my radar!

Starting by Kristen Ashley.

Finished Deliciously fun HR

This looks good. I've added it to my To Be Read list.

I was craving a good historical about a week ago and read . I loved it. I feel an HR kick coming on. Sometimes I need a break from the conetemporary nonsense. LOL

oh yes, i like her. the only way i read Night Huntress is by audio =D too bad she didn't do Rock Chick. hehe

[Courtney]

Ok, I'm reading and only 9% in and I'm already skipping paragraphs and pages...It is that bad. I can't even express my astonishment at how it has an average rating of 4.22 stars out of more than 7k ratings. The summary sounded perfect and that's why I bought it so quickly just after adding it to my shelf. I'm speechless. I don't even know if I'll continue with it but I feel like I'm forced to since I paid money for it.

[Ian]

I'm reading A Demon Bound...

there are a few things I like about the book, those things are tugging the rating up to 3 stars... but then something happens which kind of annoys me and the rating drops back to 2 stars.

e.g. Nobody enjoys being naked as much as the main character.

She wants a swim... off with the clothes and swims naked.
She wants to intimidate someone... stand in front of her naked and tweak her nipple.
Hot guy comes over...she forgets she's naked.
Investigating a crime and doesn't want to get blood on her clothes... off with the clothes and investigates naked.

Honestly...that stuff is kind of ridiculous.

Angie, I'm with you. Happily picked up a bunch of HR from the library the other day.

whereas I HATED her voicing of bones - but then I'd read several books in the series and had my idea of what he should sound like (more like Spike from buffy) than what I got

It sucks when the hero doesn't sound the way you imagined or even just a way you can stand to listen to.

I swear some female narrators think all men sound like they've smoked four packs of cigarettes since birth. I had to return an audio of a book I'd already read because it was ruining the hero for me. I knew if I continued listening it was going to kill my love for the book.

[Dee]

The funny thing is I like other books she has narrated - it was just this one...lol

[Tellulah]

Finished I really enjoyed the first book in this series but this one was just so-so.

Dee, that's good u liked her narration in other books. u don't have to miss out on other books she narrates. i need to follow some practices of other members in this group who listen to the sample before purchase. luckily Audible allows u to return books u don't like. i don't want to make it a habit though :/

[Courtney]

Finished by skimming the last 75% of it. It was terrible.

Going to read to pick myself back up from the previous book.

I started with book 2 of the Fantasyland series and had to DNF it, the book was so completely terrible.

I find the sample doesn't always give you a good idea - for example, one of the demonica books, the sample was the dictionary that was at the beginning, so you couldn't hear any of the characters

LOL! how wrong is that. made me chuckle

[Courtney]

Stacia - Glad I'm not the only one who was not satisfied with the series.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

i DNF Rock Chick. it's not my cup of tea. i'm picky about the type of humor in the novels i read. so i started . i'm enjoying it.

[Courtney]

Finished and enjoyed it. Not my favorite book of hers but a nice read!

Going to read .

[Ian]

Nearly done with How to Marry a Cowboy.



It's a bit like a layer cake...but with mashed potato instead of cream. My way of saying that some of the elements are surprising and don't quite work.

[Tellulah]

Didn't even realize Suzanne Brockmann had another series. Finished Her books just make me happy.

[Dee]

I have that one on the pile tellulah - hoping to start it this weekend maybe

Enjoy, Dee. I really liked it.

[Tellulah]

I really love Tessa Dare.

[Ian]

I just started A Symphony of Echoes by Jodi Taylor...the first book was pretty good so I jumped right into book 2.

I have the ARC for Poison Promise by Jennifer Estep on my Kindle and I'm enjoying it so far.

That's about it at the moment. I haven't found anything at Netgalley or Edelweiss lately that fit my reading criteria so I'm making some headway into a few that have been waiting for me.
