message 10801: by Laura (new)

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments Ive been listening./reading some of my older books.

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1) by Kendare Blake wasnt bad not sure Ill get the next book.

Break My Heart 1,000 Times by Daniel Waters Interesting concept but missed the mark. Still wasnt bad and a lotta creepy.


The Line (Witching Savannah, #1) by J.D. Horn and The Source (Witching Savannah, #2) by J.D. Horn Really enjoyed these two books looking forward to The Void (Witching Savannah, #3) by J.D. Horn

Oh and I Finally finished Enclave (Razorland, #1) by Ann Aguirre it wasnt bad but I HATED that cliffhanger ending!! I looked at my tablet like it did me wrong !! lol Ill eventually get to the next book but trying to get through the ones I have now.

Right now im on book #3 in Rapture's Edge (Night Prowler, #3) by J.T. Geissinger Night Prowler series. Taking my time with this series because I am really enjoying it and there is only 5 books. Kind of not wanting to let go of your favorite series.

Also listened to Ruin (Ruin, #1) by Rachel Van Dyken really liked it eventually will get to Toxic (Ruin, #2) by Rachel Van Dyken !

also started Fallen Crest High (Fallen Crest High, #1) by Tijan , Fallen Crest Family (Fallen Crest High, #2) by Tijan up next Fallen Crest Public (Fallen Crest High, #3) by Tijan hope Fallen Fourth Down (Fallen Crest High, #4) by Tijan is on Audio soon.

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments Its not an amazing series Tracy but I thought all the books have been really sweet and cute so far. I love the Cover of the next book Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles, #3.5) by Marissa Meyer so Creepy yet awesome!

Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments Finished All Lined Up (Rusk University, #1) by Cora Carmack it was ok. Eh. I rated it 3.5 but I might make it 3 because I felt like the meat of the story was missing.

No, I never got to Unchained or Never Look Back (I think I got the title right. It's the one with the ballerina on the front). But I did like White Hot Kiss. And I loved the first two books in the Be With Me series. This last one was just not good.

Really liked Ruin, Laura. And the whole Fallen Crest series I loved.


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments GRs needs to come up with a way to shuffle your shelves and pick a book. Kind of like the recommendations section when you use the iPad app and you swipe left or right. I hate going in order for my tbrs cause I tend to not see something idk.

I know I'm going to read Better when He's Bad (Welcome to the Point, #1) by Jay Crownover but I need to read something before I start that and I have no idea what to read. Sigh. Why is it I have this problem?

This was my least favorite book in the series so far. I really enjoyed the second and third more

Like I said, I didn't finish Unchained. Don't Look Back I really enjoyed. Thriller/murder mystery. I think she did a good job with it.

Sorry. I just didn't feel the connection. It's good but it's didn't make me swoon or anything.

I gave started The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay and so far it's really different. In that it's not your everyday YA story.

It was really good!! But I'd rather see a 1.5 novella come out. Did Finn & Zo make it work? Gah. Regardless, it was a great book.

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments Finished Rowdy (Marked Men, #5) by Jay Crownover and loved it. Now started Desert Bound (Cambio Springs Book #2) by Elizabeth Hunter and already can't get enough. Elizabeth Hunter is such an awesome writer.
Next after that is Anguish (Jokers' Wrath MC, #3) by Bella Jewel . Yay.

I've read everything by Elizabeth Hunter so far. Loved every single line of every single book. So who is your favorite character in the Elemental series. Mine were Carwyn and Baojia.

Oooohhhh, Paula. Desert Bound was good. I kinda feel there were moments that I was a little over the "speculation" but you know EH is always good. I need to start BJewels other set of MC books. Are they good like the Hells Knights series?

I have to say that when I finished Blood & Sand, it was definitely Baojia. However, Carwyn is probably my fave, although... Gio. LOL. Her men are awesome so I think you can understand my indecision. Have you been keeping up on her website? She's putting out a emini-series with Ben & Tenzin. Tell me - do you think they will become an item? Have they been an item & I just missed it?

I am starting this one now so don't know Paula. I have read both of the Irin Chronicles and Loved them. I am slowly working my way through her stuff. She is a fabulous writer.

So who is your favorite character so I know who to look for?

Carwyn is just absolutely awesome. I adored the hell out of him. Found him to be better than Gio to be honest. And yeah, I'll think Tenzin and Ben will end up together. They haven't been an item, but I think it is inevitable.

I personally adore Ollie. Can't help it....I always fall for the supporting characters. But he'll get his own book too as far as I know.
Have you read her contemporary romance The Genius and the Muse by Elizabeth Hunter ? Javi is to die for. Such a beautiful story.

Glad you liked it. I agree, I'd love to see a 1.5. I'm friendly with the author, so maybe I can convince her of it! LOL! For now, she'll release the prequel (I've read the first few chapters and it's very good!).

Is this the last one for this series Veronica? I read the first one and just didn't get carried away so I haven't read the rest. I think there is something wrong with me because that happens a lot with the more loved series.

tracy, you are not the only one who was not overwhelmed by this book. it has got to do with tastes and preferences, of what we are looking for. and yes i believe that this book may be final. i cant be sure because you never know when clare might add new ones. i have become wary of this series. there so much incest and the romance took over the plot, world and character building. i am an adult who loves YA but lately all books have brooding teens, bad boys and love triangles and i have been trying in vain to not create a big fuss. but it is bothersome if YA has no perspective or is loosing what little it had.
have you read the infernal devices?
