Sorry Bridget (not really hahahaha) but IAD kicks seriously butt! They're SO good. Love how HOT the male leads are, intelligent, HILARIOUS, well written, cool freaking plot, and KICKASS female leads, all the books have.

So true :P

OMG yes Shera. I remember the torturous wait for each book to come out :(

Yeah, it's been a TBR of mine for ages too. I figured it would be a good book to read for the TBR challenge.

I did enter, glad you mentioned that as well!! I have all the others signed so it'd be awesome to have the full set without having to shell out additional money (I've already preordered the kindle copy).
Didn't hear that about the Gemini series; I know Gemini wasn't as well received and didn't really factor at all in the other books, but I'm surprised about My Skylar.
@Belkis, if it hadn't been for Harry Potter in the fourth grade they would have kept me in AR Beginner (you know "she saw see" crap). Without it my 5th grade teacher would never realized that I could read and bumped me up out of the system.

Veronica, readers have already done it with Jennifer L. Armentrout's Convenant series. Have to be honest I enjoyed that series. If it's good writing it's kind of like reading fan fiction.

Just read the blurb coz I was curious and could not stop laughing....admittedly, haven't read the book but could the blurb sound any more like a VA knock off?? If the guy is six and a half feet tall with dark hair, then yes...definitely!!
The annoying thing is this sounds like such a good premise, why couldn't the author just do away with the really obvious similarities and keep the rest of the story?
Finished
it was pretty meh and I'm still reading
I'm not getting through it as easily as the first two. I'm also starting

Ahh the waits, I do NOT miss them, I remember I was on holiday when Half Blood Prince came out, there were loads of people say by the pool reading it, torture!!
Also I started the series when Stone came out so I've probably spent about a quarter of my life waiting for Harry Potter books!

Most readers may be done with covenant series as you say but new readers who read Both books Will find faults. Actually that discussion is not over. Its just stagnant now.

It looks like there will be three more Belkis. Crap...and they are a year apart.

Right there with you Tasha, the wait for HP books was awful!

OMG!! Seriously??!! UGH! Okay then thanks Tracy. I'm shelving the books until they're all out :( at that point I'll just reread book 1 and read them back to back I guess. Sigh... Le WAIT!
Mod

Nope, 3 more books! ARGH!

I haven't read VA, but I've read Covenant. I heard the first book is similar and then it veers off from there. I don't care if the author gives me a good story.
Belkis wrote: "OMGOMGOMGOMG!!! Finished and it was freaking AWESOME! UGH! Now to sit and wait for book 2 :( Next up of course 
"This is exactly why I made the decision to only start reading a series once it's done despite how much I want to read a book. The waiting p***ed me off too much and by the time the next book comes around I've usually forgotten half of what happened in the previous ones.

So hoping to start next week:)

Agreed, Brooke. I actually read Covenant first then VA. I didn't really notice the similarities until everyone started pointing them out. Oh, and I liked Covenant better.

If I had known I would have waited. Now I have another series to drag out for three years. Fortunately this one has been easy to get into with each book.

Kresley Cole posted on FB that she was writing book 4 while finishing up DOW. Sigh... not sure how many books in total there are going to be for the Arcana Chronicles..... Waiting SUCKS! UGH!
Tracy wrote: "I read the first book in Covenant and the first two from VA and I didn't care for either series. I know, I'm strange."No Tracy, you're not, I couldn't get into them either. I read the first 2 1/2 books of VA before calling it quits and months later I read the prequel and half of book 1 of Covenant and didn't like it much so gave up and moved on.
