I finished the audiobook of
and it was very good. Loving this series so far. Very addicting. I jumped into the audio of
since I needed a light pnr that I could listen to while at work. I liked the first book and so far this one is also good.

I am with you on this. Actually the first book in the Sweet Trilogy was my favorite. After that one I just kind of lost interest while reading.

But that's the thing, it really isn't. None of the main issues for starting the spin off were resolved. None of the issues brought forth in some of the plots in the middle of the series were resolved. It's like it ended but being just about the relationship except that wasn't what the series was supposed to be about. It is just stupid so it's left open for yet another spin off. Now that I probably won't read unless the ones who rated similar to me for this book rated them well.

I couldn't finish TMI due to the constant POV change. I hate too many changes and it would be like smack dab in the middle of action!

I couldn't disagree with this more - while books 2 and 3 were my favourites in the series I loved 4, 5 and 6 as well and found them all completely un-put-downable…there were a couple of things that were left open at the end of book 6 but i wouldn't say it was 'completely unresolved' …the characters stories were tied up nicely and the few things that were left open were done so because Mead has said she is considering revisiting the VA world in some distant time down the track
If you're in the middle of this series and are wondering whether or not to go on, I always think it's better to find out for yourself than to listen to others…maybe you'll end up disappointed, but maybe you'll end up loving it like so many people have - that's a gamble you take with any book, really.

There is a perfect review that is a 1 star that explains how the characters changed and how even Rose was completely different from her VA series. (view spoiler)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

I think that's a really well-written review and I completely agree with what she says at the start about it being her opinion and that everyone is entitled to their own…that's the whole reason for this website after all!
I'm not sure I agree with the character derailment comments; personally, i thought the characters grew well from novel to novel…yes Rose was different in Bloodlines, but she had changed a lot by the end of VA too so I wasn't really bothered by this - we still saw glimpses of her classic traits: humour, outspokenness, curiosity, foot in mouth tendencies etc
…and as for Adrian and Sydney - I've read all 6 books in succession twice and have always found their development and growth to be natural…I really liked having Adrian's voice from book 4 onwards, but this might be something others weren't a fan of?
This is just my opinion though…I love Mead's writing and am really looking forward to her new series and the next Age of X book…and if she ever goes back to Va i will be all over that!

I've just started Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie as I agreed to R&R for another group (Lovers of Paranormal). It shouldn't take me too long but I want to hurry up and finish it as I really want to start reading No Time for Goodbye and Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream!

Wow, that's one pissed reader LOL! And the debate is lengthy too. Lots of tangled up feels in the VA & Bloodlines series.

last night & thought it was really cute. Reading
and so far it's ok. I still want to read something else, but don't know quite what I'm in the mood for... Angsty? Fun? Light? Heavy... Jeez, I'm a mess. ;)

I really liked book 4, and have SS sitting on my bookshelf, but haven't gotten to it yet. I've heard not so great things about it. I'll eventually get to it, but it definitely makes me find other things to read in the meanwhile. ;)

:-( Bummer! I don't think i'll be able to not finish them though. Will just try to stay optimistic and see how the next few go I guess

Agree Ash. I love Mead and I agree with what you said about the character growth and how they still had some old tendencies. I how ever really didnt care for the last two books in Bloodlines. I think Ruby Circle left the VA/Bloodlines series open to her go back if she veer wanted too and I to would be all oover it IF she ever did. I am loving her Age of X series so far and looking forward to her new YA series also!

Ive read a lot of N/A books lately and just contemp/Mysteryright now Im listening to
Then I think on to the The Cocktail series.
by the time I finish these
should be out!! I already have the Audio pre ordered cant wait!!
I agree with you also Dani and its why I didnt like the last two books there is to much left open and the reason for the spin off to start with but they really dont need a cure because its obvious no matter what they did it would put any of the Spirit users in danger. But the Jill/Lissa story was never finished off not even close so yeah I just have the feeling she will some day go back to the VA/Bloodlines series.Danielle (Danniegurl) wrote: "Ash wrote: "Danielle (Danniegurl) wrote: "Kelly wrote: "Danielle (Danniegurl) wrote: "Veronica wrote: "halfway through

Laura wrote: "I agree with you also Dani and its why I didnt like the last two books there is to much left open and the reason for the spin off to start with but they really dont need a cure because its obvious ..."Yea I just didn't like it. It became more about the relationship and less about keeping Jill safe. And yes I was a Sydrian shipper, I book pushed this series on my sister, but she too was disappointed as well. We were both flabbergasted at how weak the plot was. I guessed who the villain was early on. I just didn't like it. I'm glad you all liked it, but I expected a much better finish out to the series than what I received and I'm very annoyed and upset by that. It's how I felt with Everneath as well (different author) but I'm really sick of series ending poorly.
UGH! I am almost a month behind on my review reads! A MONTH! CRAP! I don't even know what to rad next! LOL!
I'm doing R4Rs of
and
as well as a beta read of a book that's not yet listed on GR.All the seasonal weather changes and, particularly rain, are giving me migraines which makes it infinately more difficult but the books are good so that helps. Still, I feel like I'm really falling behind and I don't want to let the authors of these books down after they shared their hard work with me...
I finished
today. It was soooo good. This book would make a really great movie. I definitely recommend this one.

Schwab is fantastic. Have you read
? And everyone says this book should be a movie. But all I keep thinking it Flatliners. Ever see that one?

Sigh, I need to get back to the Cocktail series too Laura. I really like the first book but haven't been able to get back to it. Need to move them up my tbr list I suppose.

I still haven't read the second book in this series. I am tenitive about it b/c I've heard mixed reviews since it's her POV."
Book 2 was not my favorite one either Brooke but it wasn't bad just not as great as the first one. But books 3 and 4 were fantastic!
