That last chapter gave me such feels...Maybe I related to it because I'm an artist, ..."Hopeless is my favorite CoHo book also I havent much liked any of her other books ..They have been good enough but not great. I think IF I had to choose Confess would be my 2nd favorite. Maybe Someday was too contradictive to me. Ugly Love was ok but I didnt like that is was all one sided till the very end. Slammed series were ok but I think I got to them when I was finding NA books annoying. November 9 was good too but again another predictable story with a slight twist. Dont know about Never Never havent read them because I wont pay that much for a novella/novella series.
So I read 2 Contemp/Romance/Mystery/Thriller back to back and I need something else sooo Im going to start another Older series Ive had for awhile.
mixed reviews on this series too but I got umm might as well get through wit umm!

I liked the first half or so then felt like it was just a quick rush to finish the book. A simple solution to what was such a HUGE situation/loss

I am reading
Need to finish this before I start
and I am dying to read this new one in IAD series.
Mod
mixed revie..."What mystery/thrillers did you judt finish Laura? I love that genre of book. I always like a little mystery with my romance because they tend to not focus on the romance as much. I have to be in the mood for romance and that isnt often.
I hope you like Slave to Sensation. I tried to readthis series and i wanted to live it so much but i barely made it through the first book.
Laura wrote: "So I read 2 Contemp/Romance/Mystery/Thriller back to back and I need something else sooo Im going to start another Older series Ive had for awhile. mixed revie..."I've been wanting to read this series, but again w/the mixed reviews! Let me know how you like it
Just finished
. It was nice. Nothing special, but good. Then again with the book hangover I had I doubt any book would have been anything more than good.
Mod

Tracy wrote: "Paula wrote: "Just finished . It was nice. Nothing special, but good. Then again with the book hangover I had I doubt any book would have been anything mo..."Definitely. I mean it wasn't fair on this book really, after 'Land Of The Beautiful Dead'.
It wasn't bad by any means. It kept me captivated but lacked something. Can't even pinpoint what. Maybe I just didn't connect as well with the characters. Don't know. Hmmm...
Just finished
. I really enjoyed this but...... that damn cliffhanger! Now I have to wait for an unspecified date!!!
Just finished with this series.
I have binge read these. Couldn't put them down. Couldn't sleep. Is seldom that I find so marvelous jewels.
Mod
. I really enjoyed this but...... that damn cliffhanger! Now I have to wait for an unspecified date!!!"Im glad i haven't started these yet. I have the first one but maybe I'll hold off reading them.

Azreal is... i don't even know how to describe him at the moment. I want to dislike him but I'm sympathizing with him & am kinda finding his dead-undead self... hot? gosh! I'm really liking it. ;)

I did that with
Kitlina. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. Couldn't stop until i finished all three.

I need to finish these. I think that will be one of my new years gials. To finish as many series as I can.

Thanks for the heads-up I have it on my TRL.
Mod

Oh good Kitlina. Hope you like them.

I've recently read the Burning Sky, loved it!

It does - love the cover.
Brooke wrote: "Reading my sampler of . So far it's ok, I'm 3 chapters in of 15. And also started . This is SO similar to the book I wrote,..."Sounds like a fun premise Brooke.
Donna wrote: "Paula wrote: "Just finished . It was nice. Nothing special, but good. Then again with the book hangover I had I doubt any book would have been anything mo..."Yay. So happy to hear you say that. I couldn't dislike him either. Not one bit. And as twisted as it is, yes, he is hot as hell.

been there on my shelf for ages. i wish i can get back those days where i would get so much reading done. now-a-days all i do is binge read/watch manga/anime. i find no time for books at all, worse yet, i lose interest whenever i pick a book. *sigh*

it has been a while since I posted on here- life and stuff. I have enjoyed scrolling through and catching up and getting some new ideas for my TBR list. I just finished
which was a whole lot of strange and not much charm, but I hung in there and it turned out to be better than I thought, very interesting and different. Now I am trying
because it has been on my list for way too long and I finally decided to go for it... I hope it is worth it :)

I just finished [bookcover:Charm & Strange|1..."Seraphina has a very pretty cover and sounds interesting. Hope it turns out to be likable.
Mod
Love it when a book surprises me Victoria.
Victoria wrote: "it has been a while since I posted on here- life and stuff. I have enjoyed scrolling through and catching up and getting some new ideas for my TBR list. I just finished [bookcover:Charm & Strange|1..."Ooh yeah I really enjoyed Seraphina, a really lovely book and interesting concept. Still have to read the second one
Oh, wow. I haven't been on here in forever. I've had no time to read at all it seems like. I finally was able to finish
. It was ok. I kind of felt like another book in the series wasn't needed. Now I'm thinking I'll start on
. I've had this one on tbr forever.
Paula wrote: "Just finished . It was nice. Nothing special, but good. Then again with the book hangover I had I doubt any book would have been anything more than good."Book hangovers are the worst :(
Brooke wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Reading my sampler of . So far it's ok, I'm 3 chapters in of 15. And also started . This is SO..."That's a tough thing to do. I decided to submit my book to Kindle Scout and it got selected. I was so thrilled when it did. Have you heard about it?
OK, that's really weird. I kept clicking on the book cover for Seraphina and a Harry Potter book cover kept popping up instead. I was trying to say I loved Seraphina but the sequel was a DNF for me. I just couldn't get into it.
Mod
. So far it's ok, I'm 3 chapters in of 15. And also started [bookcover:The Girlfriend Request|281004..."No, I've not heard about this. I don't think my book would do well "self-published," though. Is it a self-pub platform?
Brooke wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Reading my sampler of . So far it's ok, I'm 3 chapters in of 15. And also started [bookcover:The Girlfriend..."Scout is kind of like amazon's answer to all the digital imprints the big publishing companies have recently set up - instead of a publishing team choosing what gets published the books are picked by a selection of readers and the deals are similar to the big digital imprints with a small advance and 50% royalty rate + marketing
Its a good option, however, unlike the digital imprints for say Harper or Random House there's no option for Kindle Press to pick up the print rights as well if the ebook does well. The author retains all rights except ebook and audio so could always be approached by a trad publisher to print the actual book, but not being able to give them ebook and audio could cut off some options.
Sorry I went off rambling there! Good luck with your book, Brooke - congrats on finishing it! And congrats on the Kindle Press deal Teresa!
The Kindle Press team is who ultimately decides whether a book gets selected. Nominations by readers are only one factor in the selection process. As a first time author it was a good option for me. I don't think I would have sold nearly as many copies if I self published and I've made a lot of author friends along the way. It's been a great experience for me.

I haven't been heartbroken by a CoHo book since UL. Confess and N9 just didn't break my heart. More than anything I was annoyed by the character's choices. And they were too predictable for me.
