I really enjoyed A Shade Of Vampire and the second book too - can't even remember the name it's been so long - but I shelved the rest of the books as they released in the hopes of continuing on with the series once all the book were out. But alas, she jsut kept going and going and going BLAH! Hate it when authors just extend a series for the sake of adding more book and money to the bottom line. And from the reviews for and comments from readers the later books just kept dragging out the angst UGH! What a shame. The first book was so good and the story had such potential. Oh well. Whatever. I think the first series ran something like 8-10 books and then she added a spinoff and it's up to like 14 books or something LOL! Yup, never got back to it and don't reckon I'm going to either :P

Oh Laura NC is such a beautiful story. I hope you're enjoying it. I need to get back to the Maddox Boys :D still need to read the

I still need to read Pucked, so many good ones LOL! But I'll persevere yet hahaha! I'm slowly making my way to it.

Oooohhh I plan on getting to Garrett's book soon :)

I've heard very good things about ATPoY too and it's yet another good book that I'm looking forward to getting to soonish.
Okay I finished
and started
so far it's good.

I'm reading
I hope it will be good :-)
Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question - is third person limited but appears to be divided into POV ..."Yeah if I go into my audible library there is the option to 'purchase matching kindle book' for most of the books there, but there are a few including SoC that say 'not available'....the even weirder thing is, one of the other titles that are 'not available' is Stole. Songbird, but Hidden Huntress is available...
I very rarely do whispersync so I haven't picked up on it before...weird!
Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question - is third person limited but appears to be divided into POV ..."Oh I never even thought about whispersync!! I can read it I bought the Audio but not the ebook. The Price is crazy!! I may have to read this one also. But Ill give the audio a go again.
@Belkis The Maddox Brothers books are good but not as great as I thought Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster was. I wish they were actually from the Brothers themselves POV instead of the women they have romantic interests in but meh I still enjoy them! I got my son-In-Law reading them also he has beat me to Beautiful Sacrifice and is threatening to spill if I dont get to it so he will be happy to know I am reading it!! LOL
Belkis wrote: "Okay I finished and started so far it's good."I really enjoyed DC - thought it was a good read. Hope you enjoy
Melissa wrote: "I'm reading I hope it will be good :-)"The story is good just beware there are many POVs going on here and they get more and more the further into the book you get. Otherwise the story is pretty good!

im in chapter 5 or 6 i dont remember... but so far so good! its very interesting and seems promising

oo - i've been wanting to read this series. Good to know you liked it
Laura wrote: "I started this morning and Ive lost track so many times. SIX POVs is a bit much and Im having a hard time getting into the story. Right before I realized that it ..."
LOVED the NC! It's so ... poetic and dreamy. It could definitely be a reason why you're having issues. lol

Well hopefully I won't get confused :-(
Belkis wrote: "Laura wrote: "Erin wrote: "Teresa wrote: "I started mostly because it was free as part of kindle unlimited :) So far it's good. I'm also reading [bookcover:Lo..."There are 18 books to date of Shade of Vampire the 18th just releasing a few days ago. there is a spin off called A Shade of Kiev that has 3 books to date - this one is just supposed to be a trilogy. Either way I have no plans of going back to the series. The books are no more than a few hundred pages each and dragging out the story is just crazy!! I must say they do get really good reviews but Im not interested in spending that kind of $$ on any Book series ($4.99 x 18 books = 89.82)

Hmmm, maybe this is what I'll pick up next.
I really hope I liked Six of Crows, I'm excited for it :)I've done lots of reading lately, so here's an update:
4 stars. I really enjoyed the originality of the concept. I also really liked the characters in this one. Its basically about our world in the future...but its been altered, by the invention of "The Great Library." Basically it started a long time ago as a way to house all of the world's knowledge so anyone could learn. Over the centuries, its turned into the governing agency of all things. Books are now illegal, as well as producing or writing them in any shape or form, other than a personal diary that everyone is given when they are born. When they die, the Library archives the personal journals. The Great Library hoards all information, and releases what it deems "fit" to the masses, in other words, keeping the general public ignorant.The MC, Jess's family deals in the black market of books. There are books still out there, being hoarded or traded illegally. His father buys Jess's way in to become a scholar at the Great Library, so basically spy for the family.
The class of scholars are basically competing for 6 spots. This part of the book really reminds me of The Testing series by Joelle Charbonnaeau.
There's a little bit of magic and alchemy involved here, as there is no such thing as a printing press, its never been invented. Newspaper and textbooks are digital tablets, that are uploaded with the proper information when needed, then deleted automatically. Nothing written is ever saved, except for the personal journals and what's inside The Great Library.
Its a chilling future, and I was enthralled with the story from beginning to end!
I reread
5 stars, Loved it of course!
4 stars. This one started out like my NA romance...one of the MC very troubled and needing to be saved...to find out the other party needed to be saved as well.Other than that, this was a pretty original NA story. There actually were not that many "racy" scenes, it really was more about this couple's strange relationship. I LOVED the ending to it!
4 stars. This was my first Tamora Pierce, and I loved it!
4 stars. That was a HUGE cliffhanger!!! AHHHH! I need the next book now! Overall I enjoyed the read. All I can say is, anything can and does happen in this one! And no one is safe.
4 stars. Overall, I really enjoyed this fantasy, especially the world that was very rich. I also really liked the "school chums" scenes. Some of those boys were hilarious!
4 stars. Another action packed installment of the Lorien Legacies! I really enjoyed getting to know Eight a bit in this one...and amazingly Nine as well, although I didn't like him AT ALL at first!Next I'm reading
Laura wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question - is third person limited but appears to be di..."Yeah Laura I agree completely on the BD & WD books, they were great. I too didn't think the first Maddox Brothers book was as good either but still a decent enough read. Like you I wish they were from the Maddox Boys POV :/
Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay I finished and started so far it's good."I really enjoyed DC - thought it was a good read. Hope yo..."
It's good so far Donna, Gavin aka Murphy is dreamy :)
Ash wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question - is third person limited but appears to be di..."Gah, that makes no sense whatsoever LOL! That has to be frustrating. I hope they add SoC to whispersync soon Ash although you'll be long done with the audiobook by that point most probably :D
Mod
and also started
which is very good so far!

Oh I loved the Off Campus series so far!! I'll bump up Pucked, Helena's Clipped Wings series is a fave of mine and I've wanted to get to this soon anyway. =)
Mod
mostly because it was free as part of kindle unlimited :) So far it's good. I'm also reading [bookcover:Love Me Forever|..."Yeah her spin-off is supposedly with side characters, but good LORD! 18 books?! It really started to feel like she was dragging it way too far by book 6, she tossed in new elements that just seemed completely random in an attempt to keep it going. I was done! lol
Mod
mostly because it was free as part of kindle unlimited :) So far it's good. I'm also reading [bookcover:Lo..."I agree, the series was so unique, I loved the first few!
Mod
!! I forgot how frustrating Nina's stubbornness was, but ooooooh how much I love sweet and sexy Jared! Might go on to book 2, just love that series!
Ok
done and enjoyed. Simple read
done and a short
now Im tired. Going to give
another go tomorrow when I have nothing else to do or distract me.
Erin wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Laura wrote: "Erin wrote: "Teresa wrote: "I started mostly because it was free as part of kindle unlimited :) So far it's good. I'm also readin..."18 books, that is insane! This series keeps getting recommended to me on audible and I have to admit I'm intrigued but not enough to commit to an 18 book series! From memory I think they're pretty short? But I tend to horde my audible credits like a squirrel so I won't be using them on this!!
Lol 18 books, it's so daunting! That's why I never even attempted the Wheel of Time series...just way too long!!!
Mod
so I'm bumping that one to top of the list!
Mod
so I'm bumping that one to top of the list!"How is this series?
Mod
. I think it will have all my attention until it's finished. I can't see putting it down, really. I wanted to stay up reading it last night but, well, I should try to be awake for work so that wasn't happening!
Brooke wrote: "Still reading and also started which is very good so far!"I can't wait to read A Madness so Discreet!
Mod

It's really good. A bit creepy, which I don't normally do. But writig is really good. I get to meet her next Saturday! Super psyched.
Brooke wrote: "Jenny wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Still reading and also started which is very good so far!"I can't wait to read A Madness so..."
Awesome! I haven't met in her person yet, I hope to one day! I'm a pretty big fan of hers :)
Just finished
gave it 3 stars it was slow and the love triangle was boring, but the story held a lot of promise. About to re-read
for a read-along and finally start
.
Erin wrote: "So very glad that I listened to my instincts and reread !! I forgot how frustrating Nina's stubbornness was, but ooooooh how much I love sweet and sexy Jared! Might go..."I really liked that book too
I'm reading
along with my son. And I also started

I just finished
(uhg, many disappointments—curious how others felt about this one) & also I finally read ….
!!!! So loved it! Yay!!Now, I want a nice juicy romance, I think. Suggestions?

I might try again, but 18 books?!?!? Yikes.
Rachel wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Erin wrote: "Teresa wrote: "I started mostly because it was free as part of kindle unlimited :) So far it's good.

Then I saw book 2 on KU; I couldn't get into it. DNF.

I couldn't get the whispersync option for this book!! I think it might be something to do with Au rights restrictions, which is ridiculous because the ebook's available in the kindle store...
Anyway I'm sticking with audio for the moment, I can't afford the 12.95 for the ebook lol
