LOL! Sorry Danielle :P
So I finished
and really liked it a lot. But again, no shocker there as I love KA's writing and so far all of her series are great. So another one I will have to try and finish up as quickly as I can. She has so many fantastic series! Next up I'm planning on
been wanting to get to this series forever and never seem to get to it. The books are ginormous LOL! But yeah, going to do it finally. Perfect for our September Birthstones YC :)

But so many readers love the book and since the book always tends to be better I've decided to take the plunge and give it a go this time.

I never could get into these. I read the first one and tried several times to read the second but couldn't.

I'm sorry you haven't found a book you've liked recently Brooke. I truly did love DoS&B hopefully you will too.

You didn't like DoS&B Tracy? Most readers really like it. I loved it. Sorry you didn't but you know, different strokes for different folks :P

is a really good book. You will get through it in no time because even though it's long it draws you in. My only issue with it is that I found it a bit disturbing in some parts - I'm the type of person who covers her eyes during the scary parts of movies. Still it's really good and not everything can be sunshine and roses all the time. The show is also really good. They picked Jamie's character perfectly.
Mod

Yeah, I know you guys did and I wanted to it just didn't happen for me.

I loved Brew! It's very different and his characters, as always, are amazing!

I loved this one, but I felt the place it ended sucked.
Teresa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "So I finished and really liked it a lot. But again, no shocker there as I love KA's writing and so far all of her series are great. So another one I will ..."Thanks Teresa I'm getting into it so far. Still rather early in the book. I hope I like it as I've been wanting to read it for a long time. I'm the same as you. Really squeamish when it comes to scary and bloody scenes so let's see how I do LOL!

Yeah that happens sometimes :)
Teresa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "So I finished and really liked it a lot. But again, no shocker there as I love KA's writing and so far all of her series are great. So another one I will ..."Agreed Teresa, I'm about three quarters through at the moment...can't put it down! Loving the tv show as well! I have a reasonably high tolerance for some of the more gritty stuff, and while there are certainly bits that are a bit confronting I haven't found them nearly as bad as some other historical fiction books I've read and certainly no where near as bad as A Song of Ice and Fire

:D
Belkis wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Finished I loved this one, but I felt the place it ended sucked."Maybe if you read the next one it'll wrap up whatever sucked at the ending of book 2 D..."
Yeah, even though each book features a different couple, on of the reasons I love this series so much is because pretty much all the characters are in all the books. We get to see them all again, and see them together as a community, see how they grow. I love it.

I'll maybe have to give this series another try Rebecca. I read the first one and didn't love it. But maybe it'll grow one me since so many readers seem to love this series. As with most series the first book is usually the least developed. I'll try book 2 and see how it goes I think.
Belkis wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Mat Cauthon ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Finished I loved this one, but I felt the place it ended sucked."Maybe if you read the next one it'll wr..."
Yeah, I read book one and two separately. I enjoyed them enough to continue, but not start a binge. Once I got to book 3 I just couldn't stop until I got to #10, which was the last one published at the time. :P I hope a second try proves successful for you.

It has been my experience if the first book is really good then the rest of the series can't compete. But if the first one is just OK the series gets better as it goes.

, along with the rest of the series.
Yeah its not a book thats for everyone some like you didnt like it because of the errors what not and others like Erin and I had a Love/Hate for the book :)I find it just about impossible to find a book that isnt insta love! Some books I dont mind others it just annoys me.

I finally finished off
I really enjoyed it a lot I think maybe a tad bit more than some of the other books. Also started
It started off rather Humorous but got a bit meh at some points and dragged a bit. all in all not bad.Now Im just about to start
Finished
I can't get enough of this series. Love it.
I like this series Not as much as VA but still a lot but this one just didnt do it for me ... But I am looking forward to

Already on it, but I don't think it's going to resolve so quickly.

TFH didn't do it for me, but SS was good, but also shocking to me. I am disappointed to see that the next book will be the last. (view spoiler). I also felt when Sydney said she was tired and just wanted peace I felt that the author was saying she was tired and didn't want to do this anymore, am I reading into this, probably. How much do you want to bet though she does ANOTHER spin off just about Jill?
I actually preferred Bloodlines over VA, however with the past two books the scales are starting to lean back to VA. Bloodlines I thought was brilliant, but it's....not as strong as it once was.

I think you could be right...unless the strigoi/spirit thing is wrapped up in the next book I'm thinking there will be another spin-off and I'm fine with that, I love this world and these characters, and if the focus of another series is Jill and Eddie that would be awesome....I think Mead has always planned for six books, it was the same in VA and if there's another series I imagine it will be six books as well
I am sad that Ruby circle will be the last of this series. Granted, I loved V A better but blood lines is different although a teeny bit simple. But somehow Mead makes her characters come alive and I love it nevertheless. I was so psyched about the ending. I trust Mead to cleverly wrap up book 6.
As for spin off, I hope she adds an epilogue to book 6 and move on to explore new concepts.

Yeah, the insta-love thing is found often. But it can be done well and then it's not. For me this was not. It was like in less than 24 hours she had both guys lusting/in love with her and vice versa. I just couldn't handle it. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It star..."Ugh, I still have to read that Kagawa series! I have the first two, but I wasn't huge on Iron Fey so I've been putting it off. I know I'll like it enough to read it, though b/c I love Julie's writing!
