This sounds really good! I'll have to add it to the tbr pile.

EEEeee!!"You've got me hooked on the Kowalskis, Belkis! They are really good & kinda remind me of the Neighbor from Hell series, but not quite. I'm enjoying them.
Finished
and now I'm reading
. So far out of the Pyte series, I'm really enjoying this one maybe the most… It's good.

yay! OMG Donna, I'm addicted to them hahahaha! Aunt Mary & Aunt Rose with their "big spoon" have me cracking up out loud constantly. And the matchmaking and plotting is hilarious. Love the family, small town, and sibling ribbing that goes on between them all :) And the kids with their games "of doooom" LMAO!
Donna wrote: "Finished and now I'm reading . So far out of the Pyte series, I'm really enjoying this one maybe the most… It's good."I still need to get back to The Neighbor From Hell series and still need to start reading The Pyte series but I did love the first Neighbor From Hell book and definitely plan on continuing them Donna.
Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "Finished and now I'm reading . So far out of the Pyte series, I'm really enjoying this one maybe the most..."OMG the NFH series are beyond funny & great!
Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "Finished and now I'm reading . So far out of the Pyte series, I'm really enjoying this one..."Yup I loved loved the first book :D
I started
and couldn't really get into it. I was about half way through. So I started
and I really like it.

But I'll finish it and see if it gets better for me. "I loved Slammed, it blew me away that I still loved it despite the poetry (which I'm usually not a fan of). This was my first Colleen Hoover book so maybe her writing has improved and I haven't noticed because I've just grown with her?
PoR I wasn't so bothered about because I didn't feel she brought enough of a different angle to the story, we didn't really found out anything new (unlike Losing Hope which I thought was an excellent example of an alternative POV)
I loved This Girl (#3 of Slammed Series).

Thought I should check because in some series the novellas are set after certain books and don't make sense or have spoilers if not read in order.

I'm not that far into it but it is soooo much better than book one. Archeron is sooo much more fleshed out and there is actual plot and backstory in this one.

Oh yay! Thanks Mel. I'm doing to follow your lead and pick the series back up with book 8 too :)

Almost halfway through
and LOVING IT!
Mod
and LOVING IT!"YAY!!!!!! Are you liking Rowan or do you want to kill him?

Yet another to add to the never ending tbr....
Donna wrote: "Finished and now I'm reading . So far out of the Pyte series, I'm really enjoying this one maybe the most… It's good."I loved the Pyte series!!
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Almost halfway through and LOVING IT!"YAY!!!!!! Are you liking Rowan or do you want to kill him?"
Hahaha! He's definitely infuriating but then the interesting ones usually are. I mostly like him :) Celaena can be quite a handful with her spit and fire LOL! And Dorian & Chaol have had their stellar moments to say the least. And General Aedion is another interesting character. Then the backstory of the witches with Manon brings a whole new layer of intrigue which I'm sure will become a major storyline in the future books. SO EXCITING!!!
Danielle wrote: "I started and couldn't really get into it. I was about half way through. So I started and I really like it."
was great. Although I believe I liked the ones after even better.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Almost halfway through and LOVING IT!"YAY!!!!!! Are you liking Rowan or do you want to kill him?"
Just finished!! OMG!!! Won't give away spoilers but WOAH,!!
Loved Rowan! Loved all the new characters actually...and omg that ending...565 pages was not enough!!! I want the next one NOW!!

ARGH! And to think we'll have to wait a whole year for the next one Ash :(

I know! It will be excruciating, although I'm thankful it's just one year and not seven like with A Song of Ice and Fire!!
So I read
and it was pretty good. Different. Still having a time trying to figure out what to read.

Oh I love Aedion!!! I didn't think I would. He's a bit cocky. But Chaol is my man. I need him, BAD!
Mod

HA!! I agree. I can't believe we have to wait so long for the next one! ARGH! I love all the new characters. Maas is so good with the layers in her stories and the connections, too!
I can feel a massive book slump coming on now... Anything I pick up will just seem crap :s
Mod
Yeah, this is how I've felt for almost a week now. Nothing is hitting the spot.
Ohh and I agree wholeheartedly with the Chaol thing....can't wait for him in the next book!!! :)
Mod
I really do need MUCH more of him. I will die if I don't get MORE! LOL!
If anyone is interested I have set up some HoF discussion threads on the goodreads home page so we can discuss without giving away spoilers

I would love to join!

Is this one the second one you have read Mel? Even though you don't have to read them in order it helps because in the other books it gives you a lot of insight into how Acheron works. Which is hot by the way. The first one wasn't very good for me either but they get better as the series goes on.

If you have HoF on your bookshelf it should show up under the 'discussions' tab on your home page....I'm not sure if there are other ways to search for it...it might be on the HoF book page as well

Just checked...it's also at the very very bottom of the
book page
Lol sorry I wrote back to the wrong thing., damn iPad! That was re the discussion questions
Bridget wrote: "Donna wrote: "Sara wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "I stayed up until 3AM to finish because I couldn't put it down after I started it! OMG I loved this book, its now one of..."Yes! Yes! Yes! Belkis, Donna and Bridget you must read it! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did:)
Tracy wrote: "Mel wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Mel wrote: "Reading hopefully it's better than the first book."Oh Mel I hope this is a good one. Keep me posted so I know if I should should..."
Yes, this is the second one for me. Archeron was the only interesting character in the first one and I'm liking his story so far, it's so good and sad. I'm glad that I decided to skip around a bit because the first one was a sloppy mess imo. I probably wouldn't have skipped quite so many books but I didn't know where exactly the series got better.
I just started
. I read the first one a couple of years back and I enjoyed it - so far, though, this reads so very young to me and has SO many mistakes! Like, it needs a better proofreader. Commas are missing, words repeat (in a way that makes no sense...) Kind of disappointed :(
Finished
, haven't written my review yet, but I liked it, it was what I was looking for, but I found myself bored of the sex scenes after a while. And I'd have liked to experience her moving through her stuff too.
Ash wrote: "If anyone is interested I have set up some HoF discussion threads on the goodreads home page so we can discuss without giving away spoilers"Oh I'll be stopping by too :)

Danielle wrote: "Finished , haven't written my review yet, but I liked it, it was what I was looking for, but I found myself bored of the sex scenes after a while. And I'd have ..."Yeah Danielle, but we get more of them in their novella :)
Mod
I felt the same way about Crewel Kate.
Tracy wrote: "~Kate~ wrote: "Finished both Suddenly Last Summer and Crewel which I really enjoyed SLS just not as much as the first one in that series. Crewel for me was too hard ..."Me too. Crewel was just sort of meh. Another perfect example of cover lust LOL! I fell in love with that cover (the original cover) and the premise of the book lured me but the execution fell flat unfortunately. And even sadder is the fact that a friend gifted me the audio of book 2 hahahaha!

I agree, you could read them any time. I'm glad I read them first, though, since they are prequels. I loved having the information going into the books. Plus they were already out. When the first book came out the novellas were not available yet, so many didn't have the option.
