Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 744 comments I finished Where the Wild Things Bite (Half-Moon Hollow, #5) by Molly Harper and now I'm listening to The Gilded Years by Karin Tanabe , The Year We Hid Away (The Ivy Years, #2) by Sarina Bowen .
Reading The Good Fight (Time Served #3) by Julianna Keyes


message 452: by D.G. (new)

D.G. Since I finished the last book on one of my favorite series, I've been struggling. Nothing seems to really catch my eye!

Right now I'm listening to Seduction Game (I-Team, #7) by Pamela Clare which I hope is the last book in the series. This series should have ended with book 5, which had such a great confrontation with the bad guys and involved almost every previous hero. Now there are so many people making cameo appearances that I'm having trouble keeping everybody straight.

I read #1 in that series and then read #5 not knowing it was #5(eeep) I loved both. But I haven't gotten around to read the rest yet.

What's that favorite series of yours?

I've enjoyed that series, ShoSho. Books #2 and #5 were my favorite and #3 and 4 were great. Couldn't read #6 too many tropes that I hate.

Why didn't you like it? Writing, plot or ...? Just curious :)


message 500: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 744 comments The plot seemed slow and the writing didnt grip me. i tried the audio and just had a hard time caring about this characters, plot and story overall.
I didnt see what Raphael liked so much about Cynthia. I tried audiobook 2 jabril and still the same thing.
I may try book 3 before quitting.
