Just finished
by Mari Mancusi. I'm a bit torn with this book. It's a series that I don't want to see end. I feel it has a lot of potential. However, this last book was way too cheesy. The relationships were rushed in this book whereas it took a moment for them to develop in the others.

The Cover Contessa wrote: "Finished The Jewel finally. It was eh. The storyline was interesting, though there were some inconsistencies. The writing seemed a little young for the subject. And then the ending ..."Thanks Brooke, I guess I'll shelf this one for a while then. Doesn't seem like anything I need to rush to get to. I do love the cover though LOL! I'm a total cover hussie :)

I need to read this one too Bridget and Danielle. Want to try and get it read for our Mod RC because it looks really good.

I really liked it. And Belkis yep it's for the mod challenge and it's good, hurry up and read it both of you lol.

Ok so I finished
I liked it, it was good but not spectacular. I also finished yesterday
this one is actually really really good. It's kind of short and a quick read, but the feels, and the development are really there, which for me is surprising with such a short book. But yep loved it.

Tiana411 wrote: "So I finally finished

I don't like her with Dorian.

Teresa wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "So I finally finished

Sara wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "So I finally finished

Sara wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "So I finally finished

I love Chaol. I can only hope she ends with him. Though I love Rowan so much, too. But I just don't think their relationship is like that. Then there's Aedion, although he's a bit more pompous than I'd like. I guess we shall see.

I really enjoyed Hex Hall. They are a lot of fun and quick.

Teresa wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "So I finally finished

I think Celaena and Dorian decided they were much better off as friends. I do favor her ending up with Chaol and they do have fierce love for each other. But we'll have to see how it all plays out after the events in the end of book 2. However, the introduction of Rowan in this third book is a whole new layer of romantic prospects. I'm quite smitten with him LOL! And let's not rule out Aedion either because who knows?? He was sworn to be her protector and they were childhood friends/cousins. This is going to be a fantastic romantic battle indeed.

today. So far it's a bit odd."Oh I'd love to know your thoughts on this one Brooke. It looked so interesting. I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be a disappointment. Keep us posted please.
Stephanie wrote: "i just started
which is pretty good so far"I need to read this one. Maybe I'll just wait until all of the books for it are out. Hopefully it won't be longer than 3 books.
Laura wrote: "Finished off

another series that looks fun and light....

I know Celaena is the one kicking butt and being heroic and noble and beautiful and courageous and royal and magical, wait okay maybe compared to her we're not real competition LMAO!

Belkis wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "So I finally finished

I liked Dorian because in the first book I just thought he was really sweet to Celaena and I thought he was a good person in spite of how eveil his father was. I thought Chaol came off as sort of cold and business like. Of course that changed in book 2 but by then I already had my heart set on Dorian. We'll see after I get to book 3. Is this going to be some sort of love quadrangle? :)

It didn't give me the same feel as the Hex Hall series. Like the author was using the ability to spin off just so she could have another book in the series, ya know?

I just finished
and let me say that Chelsea Cain is wicked twisted. She writes Gretchen better than Stephen King writes...well anything of his I have read. I read a scene in
that I had to read in pieces and didn't think I would read anything more gross but Cain way exceeds that with psycho Gretchen.
