I know! I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and finish itself with all the PNR/UF I read. I'm having the hardest time with Satyr. I don't want to spend $10 or read Percy Jackson.

Same here but I seem to read about the same sort of creatures. I have books for some of the others I just have to be brave and read them.
Thanks! What was that challenge that had all the letters of the alphabet and we had to come up with creatures for each letter. Then did a spell it out. That one was crazy but fun as well!I have Percy Jackson on my kindle app - but I'm resisting. My daughter swears it's good but I've been burned before by her recommendations.

Looking good, Kritika; one more to go, right?
Thanks. Yes, only one more to go which I will start today only!
Maybe I will read more than the number that I'm required. I don't read much paranormal.
Oh, some people didn't like that one, Kritika, but I loved it - and the whole series. It is quite a bit different. Really a Victorian Romance meets Steampunk meets Lessons on Etiquette. Love the heroine. It is quite witty.
I was very intrigued when I saw the blurb of this book.But sadly somehow it got into the back of my mind. I was just thinking today that I want to read a romance that has a different sub-genre not the sub-genres I usually read. Thanks for the vote of confidence in the book.I feel that I will too enjoy the book a lot, maybe end up reading and loving the whole series.
Looking good, Kritika.
