What Are You Reading? 2015
Mod
Not going to try again, I got to about 56% and thought that was enough. I might just not answer her, or tell her my co-blogger is reading, b/c she said she would.
Mod
Right. Here's the thing, the story is a good one. But the tense was so terrible, like the editing was that bad it was just hard to read. And the characters weren't particularly beliveable to me.

It's better to know I think than just sit around wondering what happened. In the end it might benefit the author. Maybe you can even let her know what didn't work for you. It's so hard to be honest and let someone down but sometimes you just have to.

Mod
True. I don't want to just ignore it. I will let her know.

Mod
I replied telling her I didn't finish the book and won't be posting a review. If she wants my reasons, she can ask. I also told her my co-blogger is going to read it and I would let her know about the review when she is done.

I finished
late last night and it was another good one in this series. Now halfway done with
and enjoying it so far.
So I finished
and it was unbelievably good. I can't believe the next book won't be out until summer of 2016!! Well, at least it didn't end in a cliffhanger.
I'm reading the Girl At Midnight right now! Loving it :)

Mod
YAY!

Mod
It looks good Margaret. I added it to my TBR.

finished
and really liked it. Now I am getting back to Lunar fairy tales by starting
. This has been a good Summer for reading since it has been close to 100 degrees here in NC everyday, and with heat advisories at 105 or greater- I have been inside hugging my air conditioning and reading :)

I live in Miami Florida so the heat, humidity, and thunderous downpours are an everyday ordeal during the summer so I feel you and completely agree with staying inside in AC and indulging in great books :)
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I finished and it was very good. I'm really enjoying this series so far.

It started out really good, interesting, the whole "silver blood" "red blood" power houses/castes, but then all of a sudden, BAM! the story has shifted and I'm not sure where it's going ..... I guess I'll have to see where it goes.
Mod
and it's pretty good.
Finished
and I LOVED this fantasy! 4.5 stars. Really wonderful fantasy! I fell in love with Echo and all the other supporting characters, and loved the journey and action in this one from start to end! It reminded me a lot of Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

Mod

Too much thrown together from other books and then the romance, I was not fond of that. I'm interested to see your thoughts about that part. Oh and the very end reminded me of a certain recent movie taken from a YA book. So there's that.
finished
and thought it was a great end to the series. Now reading
