Me too! I'd love to get Roar's HEA somehow... and to know about Cinder (I hope I'm remembering his name right).
I am reading
and then I have
sitting here waitng. Froi didn't really end in a cliffhanger, but it ended with a "I want more" kind of ending, but I am really enjoying Marcelo- a sweet story :)

Thanks Micah, another one to add to my TBR mountain ;)
Micah wrote: "I'm having a hard time with under the never sky. We just met Perry and talon and honestly I'm not hooked yet. I'm sort of bored now."Yes Micah it the fist third or so of the first book is slow to pull you in, but after that - once Aria & Perry get together it takes off at a run. One of my favorite series.

I'm reading

Just started The Iron King. Hope it's a good. Need something good after reading The Premonition Series by Amy Bartol.
Finished
it was high level angst but it was better than the last one and now I'm reading

I mean, there are only a handful of interesting characters and the rest are meh and the plot is all over the place and just too much.

I read the first one, and I really liked it.
Just finished
and I love Kristen Ashley and everything she writes, but this one just didn't do it for me:(

It's KA! There were lots of high ratings and good reviews I thought I had seen so was very excited over it. Oh well, I guess with as many awesome books as she has out, a not so great one is due at some point.Have you read her Fantasyland series yet?
I have all the books and plan on reading it next after I finish The Dream Men series, The Rock Chick series, The Unfinished series HAHAHAHA! Yeah I have a way to go before I get to them :D They seem so interesting since they're paranormal/fantasy as well as her vampire trilogy
Mel wrote: "Finished it was high level angst but it was better than the last one and now I'm reading"Oh Mel I was thinking of grabbing Rebel Belle, it looked really interesting. Please let me know how you like it :) maybe I'll buy it if you like it enough. And do you know if this book 6 is the last one for Shade Of Vampire series? Feels like I've been waiting forever for this series to finish already so I can finish reading it :(
I LOVE VA cant even express how much and I read most of the Covenant series but yeah there is so much i still there I can still compare it to VA even so far into the series.

book 10 and 11 are like recaps with a little cliffie at the end of each to keep ya coming back and a few new characters got introduced but I honestly have no idea why if the series is ending in 1 more book... stopping now I can say you really aint missing anything.Mel wrote: "Eboni wrote: "Just finished

Same! I would have loved to known more about Cinder I mean after all .... anyways and yes ROAR so deserves a HEA i felt a little jipped that we didnt get anything more about Cinder and Roars story is just W/E ....

Laura wrote: "Same!

Laura I keep waiting to see if there's going to be some sort of epilogue or spinoff...... something, anything LOL! As long as I can get Roar's and/or Cinder's story I'll be happy :D

But now, I ca..."I feel exactly the same way. I resorted to reading a chapter a day to force myself to get through the last one. It's the same story line over and over again. Not to mention the stupidity of some of the charcters (especially the humans). Honestly, how can people still believe Neferet's lies and think she's good this far into the series? How many people does she have to kill before people start to realise "Oh, maybe she's evil"? Another thing that annoys me with this series is how easily the "bad guys" are forgiven and trusted by the good guys. No matter how many people they've killed (incuding friends/family of Zoey's group) or evil things they have done, as soon as they say I've changed my mind I'm on Nyx's side now they're automatically forgiven and become a trusted member of the group.

I liked the first one, but the second...meh. It was just a bit too peculiar for me.

Mod
series? I just finished 
and wow was this way better than I expected! Love finding..."I actually looked at reviews for the first book and a few of my friends said it was just okay, so I was surprised how good this one was. Pretty close to the level of BDB, read them back-to-back and not once did I think to myself that it paled in comparison as far as PNR goes. Wish I'd gotten the first three in before this one, but I'll still go back because I really loved the characters!

I'm actually buddy reading with a friend and we're both pretty impressed so far. If you read Hex Hall, I think you'd like this one. No, book 6 is not the last one there is a book 7 coming out. From the way things stopped last, I don't expect the series to end anytime soon, I have nothing to base this on but I expect the series to go on until about book 10.
Mod
series? I just finished and wow was this way better than I expected! Love finding..."If I'm basing it on this book I read, which was #4 in the series, I say absolutely. Looks like reviews for the first book were so-so, but it gets better as the series goes on if you go by ratings. Like I said above to Belkis though, this one was easy to get into after reading Black Dagger Brotherhood, and I wouldn't have felt that way if this was inferior to that series. So a big YES from me! =)
Mod
Looking for PNR, contemp, NA/YA? Give me something to work with here, Sara!! LOL

3.5 stars. It was ok, it strayed and lost a bit, and the plot is not finished, which I don't like.

In all honesty its like..."Good to know, I just don't think I could get past knowing it's like VA. I think I'd be looking for comparisons and such and I think it'd take away from the book. I may remove them from my list. I don't think I'll eventually read them especially if I can figure out what happens. Part of what I love about some books is that I can't predict what is going to happen, if I can't predict it is usually a good book.
Whew just finished rereading
and the romance is so hot and overwhelming i was screaming like a fanboy :P Alright it is time to read a new book. It's 4 am so i think i am going to give
another chance!
Mod
Yes more about Cinder would be awesome! and Roar...sighs...he's my favorite character in that series. I actually wrote a blog post on how NOT to write a love triangle and Aria and Roar were the focus

. I got to read the first five chapters before it came out and it was really great, so I think I'll like it. Looks like a good sci-fi read
I am currently reading a Harry Potter fanfic :3 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8186071/1...That aside, I'm planning to read Renegade Lady By Dawn Martens as soon as I am done with the fanfic.

I didn't think it was that great. They were a bit to toxic for me. I haven't even thought about reading the second book

and which I am addicted to both as when I'm reading one I want to be reading ..."Don't bother. It's the same story from Maddox's POV and it's not really much different or worth the effort. I even started the marriage story and then never finished. I just can't waste my time.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Amanda (mandy) wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "~Kate~ wrote: "I'm reading and which I am addicted to both as when I'm reading on..."I have to agree. I really liked BD, but thought WD was unnecessary. Just a retelling of the same story with no new insight.
Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Just finished and I love Kristen Ashley and everything she writes, but this one just didn't do it for me:("Oh man, really? That's a bummer. . ."
That's too bad. Although the only KA books I'm familiar with is the Rock Chicks, I love them.
Mod

Yes, there are some of the same scenes, but they are expanded or told from a different time perspective. WD was just the same time perspective all around. Annoying.

But I feel the same way with Until You (Penelope Douglas) - there's so much more to the story from Jareds POV than in Bully.

Yeah, Belkis, I was really surprised too. I've seen great reviews for it as well, so maybe it was just me. Usually I love anything she writes, so I was pretty disappointed. Anyway, no I haven't read her Fantasyland Series. It looks good, though, so I'll have to add it! And I didn't know she had a vampire series. I'll be adding that too! Thanks!
Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Just finished and I love Kristen Ashley and everything she writes, but this one just didn't do it for me:("Oh man, really? That's a bummer. . ."
Hopefully it was just me, Amanda. I know you're a big KA fan like me and I don't want to put you off.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Laura wrote: "Same!

Mod
Exactly. So she can write the love triangle, but it's not really a love triangle. She showed Aria needed more than Perry. He fulfilled the romance, but she needed the friendship with Roar to keep her grounded. Perfectly done.
Bridget wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Just finished and I love Kristen Ashley and everything she writes, but this one just didn't do it for me:("Oh wow that's so unlike her..."
I know right?? She has so many books!
