Yeah. I'm totally team Dorian, but I haven't gotten to the Rowan part of this book yet, so we'll see how I feel then.

I liked him in CoM (view spoiler)I'm not really a Dorian fan, either. I like Rowan (view spoiler) I have my predictions about where things will go. Who knows if they will be right.

I did not like the Glines book. That was the second one I tried by her. I thought I'd like it more, but I didn't. I just felt like it was totally lacking. I did manage to finish it, unlike The Vincent Boys which I DNF'd.

I've heard great things about that first book.
Have you read other David Estes books? I have the angel series, but I haven't read it yet. I loved the Dwellers/Country series and Brew series. Wasn't so happy with the Slip series, though :(

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay I finished Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise, #1) by Simone Elkeles and it was a very good story but the ending left me frustrated! Ugh! Now I need to and scope out book 2 to see if it's a continuation of this story. Sigh....

Ashlee | 309 comments Finished Stolen Songbird (The Malediction Trilogy, #1) by Danielle L. Jensen and Hidden Huntress (The Malediction Trilogy, #2) by Danielle L. Jensen - loved them both!!! Can't wait for the next in this series, although of course that's going to be a while!

Taking a little break to get some school work done and then I'll be onto the next TftSA novella The Fiery Trial (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #8) by Cassandra Clare out on Tuesday

I've read them all Brooke, except for Nikki Powergloves...I've only read the first 2 in those. The Evolution trilogy is pretty rough, especially in the beginning, but I completely got OBSESSED with the characters. It reminds me a lot of the Dwellers series, so you'd probably like it :)

Glad to be back, belkis ive missed all of you I wish I was relaxing or on vacation. Nothing that fun. Just running myself crazy hauling kiddos around. School is back in full swing and so is soccer season, so that has had my undivided attention. Hopefully I'll have more time now that things are a little more into routine.

Oh thank goodness Erin because eventhough I liked book 1 one a lot the ending left me feeling a bit unfulfilled :)

David told me it was more rough since it was his first. My son and I read all the Nikki Powergloves books. My son beta read those for him and he's in the acknowledgements! He has signed copies from David! I will definitely get to the Evolution trilogy some day!

Ashlee | 309 comments Ah audible I love you, I hate you!! I've been waiting months now for Lion Heart (Scarlet, #3) by A.C. Gaughen to be released on audio, but every time I check there's nothing there...tonight I find out it was released in July on both the Australian store and the U.S. Store, but for some reason remains unavailable to Australian members of the U.S. Store

I wonder how long it's going to take for me to cave and get an Aus membership...

I still have to read Sinner! I hope I can remember Isabel and Cole well enough to understand it!


message 22229: by Donna (new)

Donna | 1350 comments Finished Zack (Cold Fury Hockey, #3) by Sawyer Bennett the other day, and loved it. Apparently I missed reading Garrett. I will get to it eventually. I've started The Golden Dynasty (Fantasyland, #2) by Kristen Ashley , which in typical KA fashion is great. Although... it totally reminds me of Khal Drogo/Daenerys. No complaints - I can deal with Jason Momoa. ;)

message 22233: by Teresa (new)

Teresa | 606 comments I finished Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4) by Sarah J. Maas last night and I really enjoyed it. If I were to pick anything to criticize it would be the length of the book. I definitely thought it could use a bit of a trim. I liked the way it ended, that there was no huge cliffhanger and I was okay with Aelin's romantic choice. With 2 more books to go, who knows, she might wind her way through a few more love interests :)
