Jonetta, thanks for the heads up. I loved the images! It definitely paints a clearer picture in my head now for the story. Thanks, Veronica!

I finished 2 books while hanging out in a cabin in the woods for a few days.
Shadowed Souls by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files #14.5). Here's my review.


Dragonwatch by Brandon Mull (Fablehaven Adventures #1) Here's my review.

[Laura]

My favorite In Death book so far https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Jonetta]

I finished listening to My Husband's Wife by Amanda Prowse and really enjoyed it. Here’s my review.

I’m now listening to The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green.

[Meera]

I finished yesterday. It was good and now I'm up to date on that series. Also finished , which is #4 so I'm making progress.

[Jonetta]

Nice progress, Meera!

I'm just finishing the Will Trent Series by Karin Slaughter - I'm at 75% and I'd have to say this is one of the best books in this stellar series. I am SO GLAD I persevered with Will Trent after the final book in the Grant County series. All that happened with Jeffrey (Grant County) was necessary - never thought I would say that!! I should have trusted the author - she knew where she wanted to take her characters and what needed to happen to get them there.

This is good news for me, Jo Ann. I'm looking at reading the Will Trent series next year, but was nervous because of the Jeffrey incident. Thank you!

So glad to read your feedback! I'll put my comments in a spoiler.

(view spoiler)[I was devastated when she killed him off but really came to trust the author so I plowed forward. (hide spoiler)]

I'm up to The Kept Woman so now I want to jump right into it!!!!

You've got me excited for this one! I have book 6 up next, so I'm not too far behind. But now I'm thinking I'll move this series into my monthly plans sooner.

I agree (with your comment in the spoiler).

[Monica]

I have finished 2 audiobooks, and really enjoyed both.

Fire Touched (#9 Mercy Thompson) by Patricia Briggs. This was a good addition to the series, although not my favorite. I found myself a little bored/distracted at times. Although there were some terrific character developments that I've been waiting for for quite a while.

When Maidens Mourn (#7 Sebastian St. Cyr) by C.S. Harris. I really enjoyed this one, and loved the ending. I am also looking forward to seeing how a new character fits into Sebastian's life.

I finished listening to The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green and found it fascinating. Here’s my review.

I’m now listening to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman.

[Robin]

In the past week I finished Into the Fire by Jeaniene Frost.

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

Today I finished Make Her Pay by Roxanne St. Claire. Definitely my favorite of the series.

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

I also listened to Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward. I read this book when it first came out. It's surprising how much of it I didn't recall. I didn't update the review. It's still 5 stars for me.

[Monica]

I finished Blood of the Earth (Soulwood #1) by Faith Hunter. This was a hard one for me to get into. I read the ebook and wonder if I would have fared better with the audiobook. Fortunately, Hunter won me over with the Jane Yellowrock series, so I will continue Soulwood.

I also finished An Heiress for All Seasons (The Debutante Files #1.5) by Sophie Jordan. It was a satisfying novella.

I am now listening to What Darkness Brings (Sebastian St. Cyr #8) by C.S. Harris.

I know, and you really need to! It's a UF series I think you would really enjoy. How many years have I been saying that now? ;)

[Lauren]

One of the absolute best UF series out there (after Kate Daniels of course!)

Of course, after Kate Daniels :) I knew you'd agree with me, Lauren.

You are in the company of many. I was never upset with Slaughter, though. (view spoiler)[ Just really, really sad. It took me a bit to come to like him and then he was gone. Still not liking Lena:) (hide spoiler)]

I just finished listening to What Darkness Brings (Sebastian St. Cyr #8) by C.S. Harris. I loved this one, and the narration was stellar as usual.

I am going to do a re-listen of Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews before I start White Hot. It's been a few years in between books.

[Robin]

I read Secret Desires of a Gentleman by Laura Lee Guhrke. The ratings seem to be all over the place for this book, but I really liked it.

I finished listening to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman, a unique and interesting story I loved. Here’s my review.

I finished Hello Again by Brenda Novak, The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles #2, and boy was it creepy and disturbing! Here’s my review.

I’m listening to Vermilion Drift by William Kent Krueger, Cork O’Connor #10, and reading Scorched by Laura Griffin, Tracers #6.

[Melissa]

I finished reading Stronger by Jeff Bauman. My favorite book this year! Here's my review.

30% into by Mo Hayder. Author has a unique rhythm to her writing that I'm quite liking. Anyone else reading/read this series??

I hadn’t heard of her until the series was nominated for our group read. Looking forward to your review.

I haven't read anything by her. But I love when writers have a style unique to themselves. I'll definitely check this series out.

Neither had I Jonetta, but while doing my "research" on the nominated series this one grabbed my attention.

[Monica]

I just did a re-listen of Burn for Me (Hidden Legacy #1) by Ilona Andrews. I remembered it a lot better than I thought. Ilona Andrews did a fantastic job with the start of this series. I'm now a little ways into White Hot (Hidden Legacy #2), and enjoying this one so far.

I finished listening to Vermilion Drift by William Kent Krueger, Cork O’Connor #10, and I’m finally over my funk about the last book. This has all the classic elements I love about the series. Here’s my review.

I finished Scorched by Laura Griffin, Tracers #6, and loved the suspense and revisiting Kelsey and Gage. Here’s my review.

I’m listening to The Black Box by Michael Connelly, Harry Bosch Universe #22 (almost done), and reading Make Her Pay by Roxanne St. Claire, Bullet Catchers #8.

This week I read Dark Debt by Chloe Neill. Another excellent addition to the series.

Then I read the first story in a romance anthology, The Hope Chest.

Today I finished Known by Kendra Elliot. It's the last book in her Bone Secrets series.

You are doing great in moving forward with some of these series.

You just reminded me that I need to get back to the Chicagoland Vampires. I think I quit because of the narrator and then never went back to even the actual books. I'm glad you're 11 in, and still enjoying it. That gives me hope.

The narrator changes with book 5 (thank goodness or I would have stopped listening) and Sophie Eastlake is a significant improvement over Cynthia Holloway.

[Jonetta]

Ditto what Lauren said!

[Monica]

Okay, that's good to know. Thanks, Lauren and Jonetta!

[Monica]

I finished a few books over the weekend.

White Hot (Hidden Legacy #2) by Ilona Andrews. This was a great addition to the series. I love the growth of the characters and the story, I'm looking forward to getting to book 3.

A Scoundrel by Moonlight (Sons of Sin #4) by Anna Campbell. I enjoyed this one, although didn't love it.
