What Are You Reading? 2015
Mod
. I gave it a 4 for now, but will probably bring it down 1/2 a star if I keep thinking about it. I love this series, ..."Yeah, I've found a lot of series, including my faves, go this route. I know as an author they are trying to hold onto their characters longer and some are trying to eek out a little more story for financial purposes, but there needs to be some sense and reasoning behind the choice to keep going. Felt that with Covenant, not so much with Lux.
Mod
. I had an icky feeling the whole way through wondering what they were going to do with the girls."And...how did it work out for yo..."
Agreed, this was a very dark dystopian in terms of the psychological aspect. I gave it four stars but never went back to the series, not sure I will.
Mod
. Definitely loving it, definitely having my heart hit pretty hard! Feel like they kind of jumped right to the steamy scenes a bit (not that I'm complaining!!), but it says something about Colleen's writing that even with these thoughts, I'm still enthralled to the point of goosebumps whenever they're together! Without a doubt her most poetic and beautifully crafted writing yet.
I started
the next book a few times and just couldnt stick with it so I pretty much just eneded up skimming here and there till the end. I want to see how it all works out in

So I did a complete relisten instead of reread of
and then finished off the series
I was glad that the last two books really went into their own and didnt at all have me thinking of VA so all in all it ended up being a pretty good series.Now Im reading the Lux series
<--- Totally made me tear up! 
Starting next
I bough the Omnibus
because the covers are just so pretty But I already had them on my kindle.But at the moment Im finishing

LOL Yeah, this was an odd one for me, not sure I'll ever get back to it unless I hear people raving about the wrap-up.
LOL yeah its kind of intense but all the "Religion" and blah blah blah with a bunch of 15-17 year olds just doesnt = Awesome! lolErin wrote: "Laura wrote: "I started

I've really enjoyed the first 2 books in the Stage Dive series so far so I'm looking forward to it. Glad to hear you liked it and I too loved Dark Syke :)
Mod

But that kind of makes sense for what they are doing in this book. Just wait. Are you liking Miles' chapters? A lot of people complained about the way she wrote them. They didn't like it. But I thought it was perfect. Poetic, sort of stream of consciousness, ya know?

But that novella, yeah, pretty much tears. And the If I Stay collection, ugh, loved those books. #2 more so than #1.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Erin wrote: "About halfway through . Definitely loving it, definitely having my heart hit pretty hard! Feel like they kind of jumped right to the steamy scenes a bit..."Oh I loved his chapters Brooke. I thought CH did a great job with his character.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Laura wrote: "So I did a complete relisten instead of reread of and then finished off the ..."OMG I'm such a fan of We She Went! Loved Loved the whole story but book 2 was amazing. Adam's POV and his story was so emotional that it had me tearing up through almost the entire thing. Can't wait for the movie and crossing my fingers that they do it justice.

Totally loved
. Hope you do too!
Mod

Mod
..."I agree. Book 2 was so amazing. I loved Adam, how broken he was, how much he just minded floated through life because he was just totally lost. I can't wait to see how they end the first one. I wonder if they will keep the ending from the book so they can do this second one.
Holy alien babies, I'm reading
and I'm loving every second of it!Hot damn that Daemon hotness!
Mod
and I'm loving every second of it!Hot damn that Daemon hotness!"
He is pretty darn hot. I just wish he still had his snark. It's gone and that brought the rating down for me.
Mod
at 3AM after a few bouts of tears! I'm giving it 4 stars; I loved it and it brought out emotions that I hadn't experienced over a book in a long time, the story was beautiful as a whole. I just wish there was more between them than the sex and occasional conversations. I get that he was only in it for that from the start, but I think I would have felt more of an impact if they had shared a lot of tender moments DESPITE his wishes. Don't get me wrong, I fell hard for Miles just like she did, but SHE didn't know all that we did. I felt like she fell in love with him but didn't know him at all, while we got to see this beautiful and tender side that just made me melt. I've seen some reviews/comments that said his flashbacks were childish and choppy, but I disagree. I was mesmerized with his thoughts on Rachel, those chapters just ripped me apart as I braced for something awful to happen. That kind of love, I mean, damn!! It overshadowed what he felt for Tate for me, other than those few precious moments when he let that slip...which was usually when he was in the throes of a seriously steamy scene that left you breathless! Lol
Mod
. Definitely loving it, definitely having my heart hit pretty hard! Feel like they kind of jumped right..."His chapters were absolutely beautiful. Her writing reminded me a lot of Tahereh's, those few chosen words that strike right to the heart...

I miss that, too. Another reason the series needed to end sooner; I love the sweet side that she brings out in him, but too much of it makes it like a personality transplant! LOL
Erin wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Kitlina wrote: "Holy alien babies, I'm reading and I'm loving every second of it!Hot damn that Daemon hotness!"

Well, yes, he could have had more snark but I don't really feel like it's a personality transplant. People just change towards other people. I have changed so much during my relationship, sometimes I don't recognize myself. I am still me, you know, but different, and I think better. I just feel that his change was gradual and was even made under extreme circumstances that made him value more his time with her. He still has his wit and his playfulness and don't forget the innuendos :)) those had me ROTFL :)))
His sweet side with the girl he practically worships doesn't undermine his responses towards others. I just love this guy to bits. Don't tell my husband I said that, he'll definitely commit me this time after having 500 other book boyfriends LOL, I think he has just reached his limit :)))
Mod
at 3AM after a few bouts of tears! I'm giving it 4 stars; I loved it and it brought out emotions that I hadn't experienced over a book in a long time,..."Erin, I totally hear you. I almost wanted Miles' POV from the present, rather than just the past. I wanted to get in his head. But I think the point was that we had NO idea what was going on with him during those moments, no idea how much Tate was really breaking down his walls. I still would love to see his internal struggle. I know many have asked Colleen to write some stuff from his POV. And I loved Miles' chapters. I love the way she chose to write them, poetic and a stream of consciousness.
Mod

It was just too much of a change. I get that he needs to be more mature because he's realized how much he loves Kat, but part of their chemistry was the snark. And that was just missing for the last three books for me. I felt like the chemistry between them (no matter how much they told each other they loved each other and told us they loved each other) just went out the window.
Mod

LOL! Yeah, the hubby's don't understand. I get that he had to change, don't get me wrong. I know it needed to happen or else we would have been bored. I guess I just felt like the chemistry between them was kind of gone. It got boring for me. I mean, remember the scene in Obsidian where he has her up against the wall? It's hot and steamy and there's no filter and it's raw. But I didn't get that at all in the last two books.
Mod
LOL!

Yup, that was truly a great scene. That one sticks out in my mind more than anything else. They shorted all the appliances and stuff! LOL!

No snarky Daemon in this one?? I've been putting it off because I'll be sad for it to end, but I'm always up for his snark. That disappoints me:(
Mod

Yeah, sadly I agree. This is still a fave series for me, but what I adored about them was that angst and sass in the first two. The turn-around was necessary, but I think it was too much in that direction.
Mod

I loved the mystery of him being such an enigma of sorts, though I really felt like we got to know him much better than she did with the insight on his past. I just wanted Tate to see more of that so I could believe she fell for him so fast, she really only sees his tender side for the fleeting moments when he's let the walls down doing the horizontal tango! LOL But he was so freaking cute and romantic in the flashbacks, ugh I just loved his teen mind!
Mod

Oh I still love him, don't get me wrong. It's just that those things that made me sit glued to my iPad kind of faded off into their romance for me, and I miss them!
THe book BF never end, men just have to deal. LOL ;-)
Mod
Starting
for the challenge. So far only like a few pages in sounds interesting.Also I picked up my kindle looks pretty cool and it's 16gbs!! I'm waiting to use it until I get a case and screen cover cause I'm klutzy. Lol

Totally miss them. Did you read the thing she wrote last night? It's a scene after Opposition ends. Years or so later.

LOVE Blood of Eden series. The whole thing is good. And the last book does not disappoint at all!
Mod
I love Rhevenge! I am at the King and trying to put it off. I don't know what I am going to do when I'm done. Guess I'll have more time for Dark Hunter then.
Mod
because life doesn't let me read much. Anyway, I am at to "oh no's" and I hope it doesn't go where I think it's going.
I'm reading
& if this doesn't have a HEA I'm going to be royally pissed!
Also finished
& started the next book. It's okay. I find the MC a little irritating (her lack of confidence & how long it took for her to wake up! & realize that he's super into her!) but I'm gonna finish the books.
