Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "Just finshed . Huge disappointment. I think I might read next."Sorry you didn't like Cruel Beauty Rebecca. I love how different we all are and how we connect to different things and are moved by different stories. Hope your next read is more satisfying for you.

I've done that many a times let me tell you. Sometimes a book just slams into you and you can't let it go. When that happens to me I simply dive right back into it.

Can't wait for Carnal Secrets to come out Erin. I've got it on preorder :)

OMG I can't wait for the release of Winter. It's assuredly going to be epic! What a great series and story.
I'm listening to Cruel Beauty and can't put it down. I'm gonna re-listen to Ignite Me too, Belkis. It def made a big impact on me. Surprisingly, considering I wasn't planning on reading it. But it took my breath away. HE took my breath away. ;)
Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "Just finshed ...."That's interesting because I'm a little in the middle with Cruel Beauty. I liked it but Nyx being so passive with her family disappointed me and I wish Ignifex had stayed the same person not all that weirdness at the end though it was an unexpected plot twist. Also a little more showing as opposed to telling because I think the story got bogged down in some spots with that.

Mel wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "Just finshed [bookcover:Cruel Be..."As far as Nyx and her behavior towards her family I think it basically all boils down to the fact that no matter how selfish and awful they were, she just wanted their love and after all was said and done everyone is flawed and imperfect. I think in the end both Nyx and Ignifex proved that it's loving and forgiving despite flaws and imperfections that is really loving. I think the author did a phenomenal job of bringing all of their human traits, both the ugly and the beautiful, to life with her writing. I loved feeling all of the frustrations and insecurities and selfishness and hate and desires and fears and strengths and weaknesses and love, all of it. And I can't even begin to imagine what little hope and/or sanity Ignifex would have left after 900 years of existing in that half twisted life enduring so much guile, deceit, and hopelessness. Loved the way the author wrapped up the ending though. It was my favorite part :)
Belkis wrote: "Mel wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "Just finshed [bookco..."I get that but at the end of the day no matter who they are to you some people just don't mean you any good and that was Nyx's family and I wish she had found some way to cut the cord with them. I did like the full range of emotions with Nyx and Ignifex but I just needed to see more with them than just be told about it because a lot of things with them happened off camera. I think that was the interesting part though. What did Ignifex have left after all that, I would have like to see that balance instead of erasing it completely. I love morally grey, duplicitous characters so for him to be absolved in a way was kind of a punch to the gut for me lol.
finished
, it was the best ending to a series I have read in a while- I loved it.Now I am starting
because it was on the bargain bookshelf yesterday.. so why not? :)
Mod
Wright makes an excellent audio. The first two were so awesome!

Hope she brings her other ones to audio as well so I can get them. Loving audio books so much because now I don't have to wait until I get home from work to get my books read. Sometimes I work some crazy long hours :)

I just started Daughter of Darkness by V. C. Andrews.
I found the hardcover at Half Price Books for a song and thought I would give it a try.
So I stayed up until midnight a couple of nights ago finishing Before I Fall. I have to admit, it was pretty good. We are taking a ski trip this weekend, and I plan to start These Broken Stars on the three hour drive to the mountains.
I just finished Pure by Jennifer L armentrout I plan on finishing the rest of the series and then read Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins

Mod
Glad you're liking Cruel Beauty!
Mod
I agree with your synopsis here. I think she just wanted love and would have done anything to try and get it. Sometimes we are blinded by that.
Mod
I loved this book. I was surprised to love it, too. It was a bit of a tear jerker, but I love Oliver's writing.
Mod
I LOVE The Covenant Series! SOOOO good. Team Aiden all the way! Enjoy! And The Sweet Trilogy is also excellent!

LOL of course Team Aiden! Ha ha ha, who else?? I'm not a Seth fan? Never have been. This is almost the love triangle like Shatter Me. Some people loved Seth and wanted him to be with Alex. But yeah, I NEVER liked Seth. Whereas I was a little more Warner in Destroy Me. And then in Unravel Me, I didn't know. In all honesty, I was always secretly Team Warner...I just hated that Adam was getting bashed all the time, so I was hoping he'd get an HEA just because. But then, I realized, who am I kidding? Warner is too damn irresistable. While I was rooting for Adam, I was secretly hoping Warner won in the end. We love our bad boys. Not Seth though. lol

Does that mean you are not looking forward to
? :P I am! I was Team Seth till Deity and Elixir. There was no denying Aidan after that. :P Still love Seth though.The comparison to the love triangle in Shatter Me is legit. I read the first book in both series within a week of each other and I remember thinking, "I love both bad boys!"

Mod
I'm totally reading it. I am not team Seth, but I want to see where his story goes. I'm interested too because it's not YA, it's more NA, so that should be in different!
So Finished
Loved the first 2 books very much book 3 was meh for about 3/4 of the book it turned into a very typical NA book and predictable but a pretty great ending I give the series 5 stars though :)Also finished
LOVED it! Starting
Finished
I loved it.....BUT.......I did not like the ending. I am dying just dying for more.....sigh.

I. Know, right? Sheesh! You do need to finish it...pronto! Then you can sympathize with me. Cause I'm lost right now. Or perhaps I lost my brain somewhere while reading this? I don't know. LOL
