I can't see it gettin..."Yup, I suffered from boredom with this aCoTaR too Brooke. I pushed through it though. I'm glad I stuck with it since it is a beautiful retelling and well written but the pace killed it for me.

Her writing is just not for me. I read the first Lux, the first covenant, the first Wicked. Didn't care much for any. She's just not for me I guess.
Missy wrote: "I'm just getting started with 
. I'm about 20% in and I love it so far. It is super hilarious and I love the main characters :)"I've had this one since it came out and is another one I truly plan to read eventually. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've read a lot of good things from other readers so I'm looking forward to reading it.

I enjoyed the audios of the first series Kelly. The narrator did a good job with them. I need to check and see if it's the same narrator for this one. If you enjoy audios and the waiting list is shorter I would take the chance :) if I get to it soon I'll let you know how I enjoy it. The issue that I had with The Selection books was the story/MC not the narrator/audiobook though. I'm hoping The Heir is better and that the story and MC are better developed.
Brooke wrote: "started and finished 
. it wasn't awful, better than the first. Meh...I probably should have waited to start until all the parts were out."This seems to be the general consensus on this one Brooke so I'm just going to sit it out and wait for all of the books to come out before starting any of them.
Kelly wrote: "YAY! Finally 
and 
. But i'm like pages into Fracture me and [spoilers removed]"Oh YAY!! Love this series so much Kelly!! You're in for a treat :)
Sara wrote: "So frustrated I am not getting most of my notifications.I started

Goodreads seems to go through this issue every once in a while for some reason. I've gotten very few notifications these last few days so I have to come and check to see what I've missed. Sigh, very frustrating.

Belkis I couldn't stop with Vlad's book! I finished it last night. Sooooo good.

Well, now I have to add
to my list! Hard to believe but I still haven't read any of her stuff! And I love aliens!! But when I started the first Lux book I wasn't really liking the main character. :/ But White Hot Kiss looks amaze-ballz! :D
Belkis wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Finally finished and it was really good despite the 5 or 6 different POVs/stories going on. Now I'm working on ."..."
Is The King a new series, or is it a swing off of BDB? Looks quite yummy!
Kelly wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Teresa wrote: "I'm almost done with

Like you, I didn't really read the description either. It's pretty xrated. But it was more than that, which I appreciated. I enjoyed the story as well. I'm going to keep reading because I really want to know what's going to happen next.

Rachel wrote: "Well, now I have to add to my list! Hard to believe but I still haven't read any of her stuff! And I love aliens!! But when I started the first Lux book I wasn't..."I am a HUGE JLA fan. I have read a ton of her work and loved it all. I haven't read her Dark Elements series yet as I am waiting for the last book to come out in July. I still need to read Obsession.
Bridget wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Finally finished and it was really good despite the 5 or 6 different POVs/stories going on. Now I'm working on [bookcover:Bound by Flam..."I know!!! I can't wait for the last book to come out for Vlad's story Bridget. I'm glad you loved it, it's so addicting.
Sylvia wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Donna wrote: "Read a few books that were just meh: . Still listening to [bookcover:Second Grave on the Left|9565045..."OMG Sylvia the audios for the charley Davidson series are awesome! I love the narrator she's fantastic! You totally should try one :)
Teresa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Kelly wrote: "MadameZelda wrote: "Thanks, everyone, for your feedback on by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I'll see how far I go. ..."Ditto for me Teresa.
Teresa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Teresa wrote: "I'm almost done with . It was a lot racier than I thought it would be but I really like it-not just because of the hot factor eith..."Yeah lots of people have recommended this series too me and Danielle loved the whole series Teresa, thanks :)
Rachel wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Finally finished and it was really good despite the 5 or 6 different POVs/stories going on. Now I'm working on [bookcover:Bound by Flam..."It's part of the BDB series Rachel. I think it's book #12 and it was very good :)
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "is killing me. about 3/4 of the way through and it's not getting any better for me. It's quite boring, actually. I'm no..."Sigh.. yeah Brooke same thing for me. Rating a Maas book 3 stars killed me :( but 3 stars it was and that's because the writing was still wonderful and the character development was as always wonderfully done. But the pacing was torture.
Mod
. Still listening to [bookcover:Second Grave on the Left|9565045..."Perfect narrator to start with Sylvia. Hope you can find one.
Mod

I begged Harlequin for a review copy of Every Last Breath but they politely declined...the wait for July 28 is killing me!!
I've given up on

and loving it!
Okay I'm still on my Virgin River addiction LOL! I finished
and I also wrapped up
all were great! Now I'm onto
and it looks like I'm not going to give up until I'm through with all the books in the series :P
Ash wrote: "I've given up on for the moment - I can already tell it's going to pale in comparison to the first book...on to and lovin..."Oh I do wan to read/listen to Girl at Midnight Ash. It looks fantastic so I'm excited to see how you like it. I think Brooke was reading it too and also enjoying it so this one is looking like it's going to be a good one.
Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "I've given up on for the moment - I can already tell it's going to pale in comparison to the first book...on to [bookcover:The Girl at Midnight|2034520..."Here's hoping that my third attempt at a reply to this comment actually works….I was hoping to get the audio of tGaM but it's not available in Aus because of stupid licensing restrictions! however, the ebook is still really good - it has a sort of DoSaB vibe but is still quite unique

which I really enjoyed, even more so than the first. I started
and this just might be the best of the series, yet. I love Braeden! And I'm going to start

I do have a contact, so I'm going to nudge her and see if they are actually giving them out. Publishers often hold off on ARCs of final books in a series. Especially this one since the readers are the ones who chose who Layla would end up with.

I stopped reading JLA after one of her NA books that couldn't hold my interest at all. For some reason I was thinking this was a NA and didn't realize it had demons and stuff. I may have to find it.

Excellent series though…Roth…sigh
Finished
and really enjoyed it…however, if you're a die-hard
fan you might not enjoy it…lots of parallels…I wouldn't say it's as bad as VA and Covenant though..Still a very enjoyable read though, just a little predictable and not as original as I'd imagined.
