Shelf 15: Urban Fantasy

Archangel's Kiss (Guild Hunter, #2) by Nalini Singh by Nalini Singh
Read: Dec 15,2013
Rating: 4 stars

As a newly made angel, Ellie needs to help figure out who is trying to cause havoc among archangels. She also has to learn how to use her new abilities in order to stay alive and not become a liability to Raphael. I really liked when Ellie joined a class of young angels in order to do this. I also liked that the author does not necessarily make angels nice people. They have their own good and bad. I still think it is a bit odd that in this world, angels are the ones who create vampires.

Read Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville, #1) by Carrie Vaughn by Carrie Vaughn
Finished: 12/15/13

Review:
3.5
A decent start but it did suffer from first book syndrome. I'll continue with the series though because it has potential I just wasn't "wowed". Also werewolves aren't my thing for the most part. If you love werewolves I think you'd enjoy this. I would of liked it more if Kitty had been a little more kick a$$.

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments I haven't looked at the other threads hopefully we finished first! We do have to post the stamp request first to win right?


Turtlecollector Dennis | 153 comments We just need Sandra's review before I can post. I think the other teams needed to finish another shelf too in order to win, but I haven't checked the threads, just Judithe's spreadsheet.

Read: Love is Fear (Valerie Dearborn, #2) by Caroline Hanson by Caroline Hanson
Finished:12/15/13
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review:
4.25
So I know this series really gets mixed reviews. I love it though! The funny thing is I can't really place my finger on why either. I don't care for jack and Lucas can be a cold hearted sob at times but I can't help but like him. This one picks up where the cliffhanger ends from the first book and I can't wait to see what happens in the third. This book was action packed from start to finish and there were times it was so hot my kindle was smoking a little lol.


Turtlecollector Dennis | 153 comments Update(from team 1 thread): looks like team 1 has only 3 more members to finish their magic books and post reviews

Sandra | 25910 comments Ill Wind (Weather Warden, #1) by Rachel Caine
Week 7: 15/12/13
Shelf: Urban Fantasy
15/12/13 ★★★★★


First books in series don't generally rate as a 5 star book. You've got the world-building, getting to know the MCs, whether you like the MCs etc etc

This book just blew me away it was so original. We have Weather Wardens, controlling the elements and trying to control mother nature and storms, which can have sentience ie intelligence. Helping the Wardens are Djinn, but not willingly, they seem to be enslaved.

Can't believe I haven't read this series already. Luckily I have all the rest of the series and the spinoffs. This was good people, if you haven't read it yet, why not?

message 318: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 1179 comments Just requested it! Linking off my phone so it's kinda ghetto lol.


Turtlecollector Dennis | 153 comments Sorry, I fell asleep in between checks of new posts. It's still just 8:30am here. I only got 5 hrs of sleep last night when I normally like 8 hrs. I forced myself to stay awake and finish my book. I sooo wanted to win this one and didn't want my review to be too late.

I posted on the stamp request page with a link to the formal book listing.

My first time in this game and I win!?! When does the next one start?
