I've been waiting on needles and pins to find out what happens next in this one. So excited to hear it's fantastic! Can't wait to get to it. And what do you mean wait through 5 more times?!?! OMG are there going to be 5 more books to this series??? ARGH!! The waiting for so many books is going to positively kill us :(

So good Tracy, you should definitely move This Shattered World up in your tbr.

I'm reading [bookcover:Iced|12..."I feel you honey, I was kind of all over the place too when I was reading Iced. By the end you're in a better place with everything that's going on and then when you start Burned it'll be even better. And you at least didn't have to wait a year and a half to get to it LOL! Everything will work out because KMM is awesome like that with her genius twists and turns and knots! hahahaha!
Brandy wrote: "I am about to finish 
. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to read a touching story that will tear at your heart strings."Oh Amy Harmon is such an amazing writer Brandy. Everything she writes has that effect on readers. I've read and loved loved all of her books. Cannot wait to see what she writes next! So happy you enjoyed it.
Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Erin wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Erin wrote: "So Cole has replaced Ward as my fave PNR writer for sure, I loved every second of

Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I wasn't able to get on much yesterday if at all really. Wasn't feeling great. Getting a cold I think. Hubby's been a bit under the weather as well as loads of people at work so it's..."Thanks Tracy. I'm feeling a bit better thank goodness. It's so hard to avoid with so many people getting sick around you. Thankfully I didn't get horribly sick. Just mostly an icky cold. Plan on resting over the weekend and reeving back up.
Tiana411 wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tiana411 wrote: "Ok, has anyone read 
? I started it and I'm wondering if im not in the mood bcz im not feeling it like everyone else is. I've..."Definitely Tiana. This is the reason why I mix-up genres from book to book. Otherwise I'd bored and not enjoy the stories. Kind of like cleansing the pallet. Hope you're enjoying what you're reading now :)
Okay so I finished
yesterday and really enjoyed it. No surprise here because KA is fantastic. OMG her character Uncle Tex had me laughing my butt off over and over through this one. Hilarious! Now I'm enjoying
about a third into it and it's great so far. Love Vlad! Now I'm anxious because so many great new releases are piled up for me to get to and I still need to get to our weekly RC book too. Oh lordy. I don't know how I'm going to get through them fast enough :P
@ Tracy I will tell you that
takes a bit to get into it especially with the massive info-dump the author jams into the first few chapters of the book. I'd strongly recommend getting this one on audio if possible. The narrator does a fantastic job with this story and all the difficult names and castes and such won't be an additional deterrent to this wonderful story if you go the audio route. I loved the audio. You know we love our audiobooks Tracy but in some instances it's major LOVE because some stories just come alive in audio version and for me this one of those very special instances. I truly do recommend this story but just hang in with it through the first quarter-third of the book while the author gets the world building setup out of the way. I'm so looking forward to
woohoo!!

We probably will need to cry together during the reading of
maybe even have a support group discussion setup for it Sylvia. Hmmm... do we feel a buddy read coming on??? LOL! Maybe we should aim to do one for this one. Lord knows we're going to need the emotional support to get through it.

i hope i love it too. is there adult situations in this trilogy? i read only YA.

Please let us know how you end up liking The five Stages of Falling in Love I do enjoy this author's writing so I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this new one of hers.

The plot line was interesting and really quite good, but the whole romance thing pissed me off. It could have been totally left out because, IMO, it didn't lend anything of significance to the story.
Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finished yesterday and really enjoyed it. No surprise here because KA is fantastic. OMG her character Uncle Tex had me laughing my butt off over ..."Belkis is this the last Vlad book, or did I hear somewhere that she was writing one more?
Tracy wrote: "Donna wrote: "ARRGGGGG! I don't know who to talk about this with so I'm putting this out there: WTF is with Ryodan????!! He's intentionally pushing her buttons, but again: W.T.H?! I'm reading [boo..."I'm actually surprised that I'm getting so into it - I shouldn't be since it's KMM but I am. Dani - and the men - are pretty entertaining.
Veronica wrote: "Thinking of starting "WONDERFUL trilogy!

Veronica wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Veronica wrote: "Thinking of starting "LOVE LOVE this trilogy Veronica. Fell head over heels for all of the characters and the story is beau..."
I don't remember if there were any "adult" situations, but honestly I'm like 99% sure there wasn't. It refers to many ... intense... situations, but it's not graphic in any way. I would definitly classify it as YA
Bridget wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finished yesterday and really enjoyed it. No surprise here because KA is fantastic. OMG her character Uncle Tex had me laughing my..."There will be one more Vlad book. Ubless of course when she gets done writing it, she find that there should be yet another one lol.
Veronica wrote: "Thinking of starting "Loved Finnikin!

I agree. I would definitely classify it YA. There are YA books out with definitely more adult situations in them
For all of you that read
and Loved it. I read the other day on FB that it is being made into a movie!! I havent read it yet but again its another in my TBR list this year

Belkis wrote: "Sara wrote: "Finished and it was really good. Now going to read and maybe [bookcover:Spark of ..."Belkis I sm halfway through Five Stages and loving it!
Veronica wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Veronica wrote: "Thinking of starting "LOVE LOVE this trilogy Veronica. Fell head over heels for all of the characters and the story is beau..."
A bit but not too explicit if I remember correctly, it's been a while since I read this one so I'm sorry if I'm wrong. It's a wonderful read though so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Sara wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Sara wrote: "Finished and it was really good. Now going to read and maybe [book..."Oh yay!! Thanks Sara I'll move it up my tbr then sweetie :D
Laura wrote: "Finished it was meh. I enjoyed the previous books but this one ... just meh nothing happened nothing changed same situation no character growth no real story..."Oh Laura let me know how you like either or both of these since I plan on reading both of these too in these next few days.

OMGOMG!!! Woohoo!! I'm so going to go see this one on the big screen. Thanks Laura for the scoop. I'm going to cross my fingers that it makes it to the big screen. On a side note I also can't wait for On The Island to hit the giant screen too!!! EEEKKKPPP!!! I need to check up on it to see how it's going since I haven't heard anything and I'm getting anxious LOL!
No Burned is not the last book there was initially supposed to be 2 more in the Dani series and then 3 more back in the Fever series but KMM changed that up - I think because her Father had/has cancer and heart problems has been Ill she moved to be closer to him so that was also a delay in the book Burned then she announced that she was going to be combing all of the books she had planned and they would be finishing off in Burned and the next book so I guess just one more book after Burned and thats it...Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "ARRGGGGG!

Penni wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finished yesterday and really enjoyed it. No surprise here because KA is fantastic. OMG her character Uncle Tex ha..."Oh I hope that JF can wrap up Vlad's story in 4 books because I really want to call this series done :)
Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Veronica wrote: "Thinking of starting "Loved Finnikin!"
I plan on doing a reread of the trilogy at some point later this year Amanda. LOVE the whole crew of characters in this trilogy.
Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "ARRGGGGG! I don't know who to talk about this with so I'm putting this out there: WTF is with Ryodan????!! He's intentionally pushing her buttons, but again: W.T.H?! I..."Nope Donna, it's not the last book there's like 2 more books I think :) more Barrons!! Oh and the rest of the HOT HOT guys LOL!
Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finished yesterday and really enjoyed it. No surprise here because KA is fantastic. OMG her character Uncle Tex had me laughing my..."Yup he sure is Amanda! And I love that we get to keep getting more of all of the characters throughout the other books left in the series.
Bridget wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finished yesterday and really enjoyed it. No surprise here because KA is fantastic. OMG her character Uncle Tex had me laughing my..."Presumably JF said she needed 1 more book for Vlad's story so she's extending it to 4 books instead of the originally projected trilogy. But at least she's just saying 1 more so there's hope of end to the waiting LOL!

I also agree about being patient through the start....It was a little confusing the first time I read it as Shannon doesn't provide many explanations for her info or world to begin with, she just launches you in and expects you to be patient enough to wait and find out what's going on...if you are patient you are duly rewarded for it
I have actually come to really enjoy this style of writing and now often find books which try to clarify info by 'telling' too much at the start rather than 'showing' as the story unfolds really annoying
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Finished . Probably 3.5 stars. Wasn't fantastic like everyone said. Some plot issues, similarities to other books and a love quadrangle. ..."I hate it when unnecessary plots are thrown into a story just to fill-in length :( it just interferes with what could've been an otherwise perfectly great story. Sigh.
Laura wrote: "No Burned is not the last book there was initially supposed to be 2 more in the Dani series and then 3 more back in the Fever series but KMM changed that up - I think because her Father had/has can..."Oh wow, thanks for the update Laura. I had thought she was going to wrap it up in 2 more books but 1 more works great too. Less waiting time for us :)
Currently on
- about two thirds through....very interesting but not what I expected! Took me a little while to get used to the different timelines but now can't wait to see what happens when they converge
Ash wrote: "Belkis wrote: "@ Tracy I will tell you that

Once you get the timelines - how they're happening - in your head it works really well. I loved how it came together.

I've read mostly glowing reviews that say the same thing. I think I'm not in the headspace for it yet, if that makes sense…to push through to get the reward.
