Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished listening to Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse, #4) by Charlaine Harris and I agree with the fans that it is the best in the series so far - My GR Review

Also read Pack and Coven (Pack and Coven, #1) by Jody Wallace which was alright. My GR Review

Read Surrender by Amanda Quick as well. It was not Quick's best but I enjoyed it overall. My GR Review

Now listening to Curse on the Land (Soulwood, #2) by Faith Hunter and reading Purity in Death (In Death, #15) by J.D. Robb

I think it's the best one too. I gave up on Sookie around book 10.

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished Purity in Death (In Death, #15) by J.D. Robb - an interesting addition to the series touching on some moral ambiguity. My GR Review

Also finished When the Sun Goes Down... (Harlequin Blaze, #472) by Crystal Green - an enjoyable Blaze romance with an original setting. My GR Review

Now starting Devil in Spring (The Ravenels, #3) by Lisa Kleypas


message 213: by ShoSho , Moderator (new)

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I started Wicked Abyss (Immortals After Dark, #18) by Kresley Cole but I can't remember much about Sweet Ruin (Immortals After Dark, #16) by Kresley Cole so I'm going to listen to it again and then get back to Wicked Abyss.


message 214: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished Devil in Spring (The Ravenels, #3) by Lisa Kleypas and it reminds me so much of why I love Lisa Kleypas's historical romances. I'm so glad she's come back to this genre.

My GR Review

Also finished Dark Taste of Rapture (Alien Huntress, #6) by Gena Showalter - a somewhat disappointing end to the series although I am looking forward to continuing with the spin-off series.

My GR Review

And I listened to Curse on the Land (Soulwood, #2) by Faith Hunter - very enjoyable although Hunter hasn't really gotten into her groove with this series yet.

My GR Review

I read Collecting Evidence (Kenner County Crime Unit, #5) by Rita Herron which is one of the better installments in this series - My GR Review

Also finished listening to Widow’s Web (Elemental Assassin, #7) by Jennifer Estep and it wasn't as bad or as angsty as I expected - My GR Review

And also The Outlaw Demon Wails (The Hollows, #6) by Kim Harrison . I agree with many reviewers that this is a turning point in the series - My GR Review

I have it on my tbr. It was recommended because I liked Harry Dresden. Have you read any of the Dresden books? If so, how do these compare?

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished these:
Beauty Touched the Beast (Beauty, #1) by Skye Warren - I don't usually read episodic books but this one has a pretty good story. My GR Review

Shadow's End (Elder Races, #9) by Thea Harrison - It's time for this series to come to an end. My GR Review
The Gathering Dusk (Killer Instinct, #0.5) by Cynthia Eden - a good introduction to Eden's new series. My GR Review

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne - highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a good love-hate relationship. My GR Review

Forged by Desire (London Steampunk, #4) by Bec McMaster - in one word: disappointing. My GR Review

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Today I finished A Whole New Light by Sandra Brown A Whole New Light. It is a reissue of an old Loveswept category romance by Sandra Brown. Brown's older books are very hit and miss for me. I liked this one.

Oooo you're listening...Parker is a really good narrator she saved me from throwing some of the audiobooks out my car window, because her narration was at least entertaining! lol

Just finished listening to Out of Bounds (The Summer Games, #2) by R.S. Grey Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now listening to: Rules of Protection (Tangled in Texas, #1) by Alison Bliss and reading The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks was so turned off by Sparks after reading Two by Two...but went back to one of his first round of books and YES this is the Sparks I love lol.

Saw lotta love for The Hating Game by Sally Thorne this has been one of my FAVES for the whole year! My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Yikes! Staying away from that one, Carly.


message 242: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished Edge of Midnight (Chasing Evil, #3) by Leslie Tentler and it is the best in the trilogy. The books in the series are actually not related in any way and can be read as standalones.

My GR Review

Finished The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband (Rokesbys, #2) by Julia Quinn - not one of Julia Quinn's best mainly due to the heroine's problematic actions, but a satisfying romance nonetheless.

My GR Review

Also listened to The Water Witch (Fairwick Chronicles, #2) by Juliet Dark and am really enjoying this series, which is so rich in atmosphere, faerie-lore and romance.

My GR Review

And finished Kaleidoscope (Colorado Mountain, #6) by Kristen Ashley - Unfortunately, this is my least favorite KA book. The hero is a total controlling arse!

My GR Review

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments I started listening to The Magicians' Guild (Black Magician Trilogy, #1) by Trudi Canavan this morning, only 40 minutes in. So far so good!
I haven't decided what to read yet.
I might just read the ebook along with the audio.
