I haven't read it, but it is in my list. Can you pop back in and let me know how it is?

I read the Juliet Blackwell book a while back and didn't like it. I've discovered that I'm pretty much in the minority on that. I've read too many reworkings of the La Llorona legend, I guess.

Tasha (tashapost) | 10 comments I'm in the middle of Skinwalker by Faith Hunter and I just got my ARC copy of Truly Madly, by Heather Webber, but that has to go to the bottom of the pile, I have three books ahead of it lol.

Well that's a bummer. I had never heard of the legend. Sorry you didn't enjoy the book.

Valorie I just finished Dead To Me (Simon Canderous, #1) by Anton Strout by Anton Strout. Really enjoyed it. Kinda reminded me of Harry Dresden. Really smart, witty writing. Great Urban Fantasy book. I'm now reading Twilight Fall (Darkyn, #6) by Lynn Viehl

Tasha (tashapost) | 10 comments Okay I finished Skinwalker by Faith Hunter and Flirt by Laurell K Hamilton. Now I'm at a crossroads on what to read next. I've got A Rush of Wings by Adrian Phoenix, Wraith by Phaedra Weldon, and Truly, Madly by Heather Webber. Which should I read first? Oh and how do you guys add the photo's of the books into your post? It's pretty nifty.

Tasha I would go for Wraith. I just finished that one a little bit ago and it was really good. I have the new Adrian Phoenix one sitting here too, but haven't gotten to it.

To add the photo's just click on the link above the box where you add your comment, it says add book/author, then click on link or cover.

I would read Wraith first also, I've really enjoyed that series.

LOL - I can't wait to jump into the next book! I'm going to B&N this weekend to hopefully pick up book 2! Keep up the good work Anton!

Valorie I just finished Twilight Fall by Lynn Viehl. Great story, really enjoyed it. Now I think I'm going to force myself to read Shades of Gray by Amanda Ashley. She is my 2nd Chance author in one of my challenges. I thought Night's Touch was terrible, so I'm kinda scared to read another by her.

Valorie I finished Shades of Gray by Amanda Ashley, wasn't too impressed by it. It was my second attempt at her books and I don't think I will read anymore. I'm now reading The Rest Falls Away (Gardella Vampire Chronicles, #1) by Colleen Gleason and so far so good.

I loved the Gardella Chronicles, I hope you enjoy them.I think each book in the series gets better and better.

Anne Reading Biting the Bullet (Jaz Parks, #3) by Jennifer Rardin . I think these books get better as the series goes on!

I agree with you about them. They are very fun to read.

I've felt just the opposite! I loved the first one, the 2nd one not as much and the 3rd even less so. I have #4 sitting here and if I don't like it better than #3 I think I'll move on.


message 1189: by Anne (new)

Anne Man! Sorry to hear that Melodie!

Darcy, I'm loving #3! How many of the Jaz Parks books have you read?


message 1190: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 822 comments Melodie, I always say that every book is not for every person and think it is great when people can talk about books even when they don't have the same opinion, but that still doesn't make me want to stop to try and change someone's mind about some of my favorites. LOL

Anne, I have read all of the books so far. I think as this series goes on I find myself loving the secondary characters as much as Jaz. There are just so many funny things in these books, like how she gets her dog and all the great inventions that are thought up.

I like the dog and the inventions and the secondary characters...but oye, the internal dialogues Jaz? Too far out there for me! They drive me insane!

I loved the second to last book, with her Dad. It was my favorite so far.


message 1192: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 822 comments The cat robot from the last book just cracked me up!!


message 1193: by The Flooze (new)

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 179 comments Loved it!


message 1194: by Valorie (new)

Valorie I love the Jaz Parks series also!! Jennifer Rardin did a great job with the most recent installment. Loved it!!


message 1195: by Valorie (new)

Valorie I finished both The Rest Falls Away (Gardella Vampire Chronicles, #1) by Colleen Gleason and [image error] . I really enjoyed Shadow Blade. A great Urban Fantasy book. Not much romance but great storyline, action, and some Egyptology history thrown in. The Rest Falls Away was pretty good. It was the first book in the series so there was quite a bit of character building, etc. I still enjoyed it and will read the next in the series. I'm now reading [image error]


message 1196: by Anne (new)

Anne I'm moving soon, so I shouldn't be checking out so many books from my library, but you guys are killing me! Now I've got to know what's up with Jaz's dad and the cat robot!

MsBeaglely | 114 comments I recently finished The Iron Hunt (Hunter Kiss, #1) by Marjorie M. Liu . It started off good, but half way through it lost steam & I found myself struggling to finish it. Started reading Any Given Doomsday (Phoenix Chronicles, #1) by Lori Handeland & hoping for a good book.
