Gotta LOVE KA! She can do no wrong in my book Donna :) Need to get back to this series. She just has SO many and they're all good ones. So it makes it really hard to stay focused on one of them all the way through them and not jump around in between her other series which is exactly the problem I'm having hahahaha!

Ditto for me Brooke. I'm anxiously awaiting for book 2. On a couple of new trilogies/stories actually. Same goes for and EEEeee!

I seriously need to get back to this and finish up the next 2 books. I really enjoyed the first 2 but when I went to move onto book 3 I discovered that she put 2 other books smack-dab in the freaking middle of it UGH!! So in order to not spoil the story I need to read so I can get to YEAH! But I did enjoy the story. It's just ugh! I wanted to be finished with it already!

[Tracy]

I really really liked Glines Ceaseless trilogy but haven't been crazy about anything else of hers. I think she is a little to sweet for me, if that makes sense.

That's what I'm hoping too Heather. I LOVE LOVE Beautiful Disaster and Providence and Happenstance and even Red Hill (although I don't care for zombie stories so that's why I didn't enjoy it more) I truly like her writing.

[Belkis]

Okay so work as not been very cooperative with my reading agenda these past couple of days so I haven't been able to get much reading/listening done. Still reading and loving and started but haven't gotten very far.

[Tracy]

I wish I could listen at work. That's my dream job. To be able to work and listen to books.

Yup it does make sense Tracy.

Belkis - I read all the Too Far books before I moved on to the Perfection books and it flowed just fine for me. You don't need to do what you're proposing.

Wait how many books are there.....are they all about Rush and Blaire?

[Amanda (mandy)]

Ok, finished but was kind of disappointed. I love this author and her Assassins Series. But this fell flat for me. The female MC did not have the voice you expected after seeing her in a previous book.

Danielle - There are four dedicated to Rush and Blair (although #4 is Rush 's pov from book #1), then it moves on to secondary characters from those books but Rush and Blair are still around in them

It's not sci-fi. I wouldn't call it fantasy either.

The two Perfection books come in-between books 2 & 3 of Rush and Blaire. The Perfection books are Woods' story. There are things that happen in them that you would kind of be lost If you jumped right to the last Rush book.

What would you call it? It read like fantasy to me, but it also seemed almost historical.

Most high fantasy is set in a seemingly archaic world, but it is not our world. It's simply high fantasy.

Completely agree with you! But I find I crave her writing ... Oh, excuse me, I mean men. Sigh. She writes some hot alpha males.

There are no fantasy/magical elements to this book, I definitely wouldn't call it fantasy...it's just set in an author-created society...the author said she was inspired by the Greco-Roman period after Rome had conquered Greece and enslaved it's people.

Sometime writers want to write about things like this without the limitations of historical fact so they just dream up their own society

I didn't know that. I thought for it to be fantasy there had to be some kind of "magical" element to it.

It counts, technically, although it is not what people first think of when they hear 'fantasy'. The 'high' fantasy, also known as 'epic' fantasy, is anything that is set it a separate world or universe than our own. Typically they also have wizards or elves or dragons, but they are not mandatory to gain the title.

I know what you're getting at, i.e. HF is set in an author-created world, while low/UF is set in the real world...BUT in order for it to count as fantasy to begin with it needs to have fantastic elements.

This is from wikipedia (search "Fantasy"):

The identifying traits of fantasy are the inclusion of fantastic elements in a self-coherent (internally consistent) setting, where inspiration from mythology and folklore remains a consistent theme.[2] Within such a structure, any location of the fantastical element is possible: it may be hidden in, or leak into the apparently real world setting, it may draw the characters into a world with such elements, or it may occur entirely in a fantasy world setting, where such elements are part of the world.[3] Essentially, fantasy follows rules of its own making, allowing magic and other fantastic devices to be used and still be internally cohesive.[4]

I suppose TWC would have to be classed as speculative fiction of some sort but to label it fantasy is misleading

Changed my mind. Reading This is Falling by Ginger Scott. Can't add covers on my phone :(

Sara wrote: "Loved and . Now reading "

OMG I so want to read these Sara. Have them all sitting in my kindle. Ugh! Need more reading time and more eyes! Good to know that they're all good reads.

[Belkis]

Okay so I've been trying to get into since it's one of our BOTM but it's just not doing anything for me. Like at all. I'm literally forcing myself to continue with it. I'm around 22% and I can tell that this is going to be another case of too much YA and not the good kind. Setting up for what looks like one girl 2 guys like/lust triangle with junior angst UGH! I might bail on this one. I think I need to accept that Jennifer Armentrout's writing is not for me :(

I feel similar with this series. I enjoyed the prequel and this one enough, then had issues with the second. And I've decided to take a break from her other books for now. The last three I read didn't do anything for me.

I honestly think that she just isn't for me Brooke. I also didn't like her Lux series either. Threw in the towel after book 2 on that one. I think I'm just going to accept that she's not for me :)

The only thing she has written that I love is the Lux series, well the three I have read. I read one of her NA books and I wasn't feeling it at all.

[Tracy]

I'm done with and I'm speechless.

I really enjoyed the first three Lux..the fourth was reasonably okay...i still haven't read the last one...500+ pages is defeating the point of JLA for me...I've liked her books cause they're quick, easy reads and even though she can sometimes make you cringe, she also tends to suck you into turning those pages

So far loving it. For those that need the cover:

I would say yes, then. I started getting annoyed with Lux after book #3.
