What series are you reading?
Today I finished
Obsession by Penelope Neri. Even though I usually love the Jack the Ripper theme, I was disappointed in this book.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished Worth the Wait by Claudia Connor, McKinney/Walker #1, and loved it. Here's my review.
I'm now reading Into the Dark by Cindy Gerard, The Bodyguards #6.

Last night I read
When Tony Met Adam by Suzanne Brockmann. Excellent short story. I just wish it had been longer.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finished my first Lisa See, so beautifully written!

I finished listening to The Ghost by Monica McCarty, the final book in the Highland Guard series, and it was excellent! Here's my review.
I'm now listening to The Closers by Michael Connelly, Harry Bosch Universe #13.

I finished Where Shadows Dance by C S Harris. I really, really want to enjoy this series but I have to say that it's not one of my favourites. Sorry, I know lots of you love it. I just can't put my finger on it. I will continue with the series but probably at a slowish pace.I started The Overlook by Michael Connelly (book 15 in the Harry Bosch series).
Not an issue, Tracey! It clicks or it doesn't. There are lots of people who love Stephanie Plum and I barely made it through the first book. Don't force yourself to push through something you're not enjoying.
Now, if you said that about my man Harry...:)

Sorry Sebastian isn't your cup of tea, Tracey.
While I enjoy the Bosch series overall, it has been rather hit and miss for me. That's just the way we are - different strokes for different folks :0)

Yes you are right, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing!
I finished the second Sully Carter book and moved straight into the third, Only the Hunted Run
. There are only three books so far in the series so at least I'll be able to say I am current in another series. Plus, I just like Sully.
I finished reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris last night. It was a quick read for me, but an enjoyable one. Here's my review.I'm now starting Disorder by Rebecca Clark.
Jonetta wrote: "Still wild about him."OMG, I just finished The Wrong Side of Goodbye last night (yeah I am all caught up!) but now I have to wait :(
So to console myself I am listening to Apprentice in Death.
I finished Modern Crimes: A WPC Lottie Armstrong Mystery (book 1) by Chris Nickson. I really enjoyed this historical mystery.

It was definitely better than the last couple of books but not as good as the first two.

I finished reading Dead Until Dark, I enjoyed the book but it is not near my favorites list. I'm not a fan of the insta-love, but enjoyed the mystery part.

I was thinking the same thing, Lauren.

I've read Kendra Elliot. She is more suspense than romance, but a great read.

Stephanie wrote: "Veronica, Agree!! Aidan is yummy in Poldark!! Have only watched a few episodes - reading and trying to then watch the episode. Series is great too!! (or at least book 1 - LOL)...."My plan was to read the books after the corresponding season. The first season covered books 1 and 2 but so far I've only gotten around to reading the first book. Season two ended not that long ago and covered books 3 and 4 so now I'm considerably behind. Story of my life with books, lol.
I finished reading The Overlook - a short but fast paced instalment of the Harry Bosch series.I started Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (book 1 in the Sookie Stackhouse series) today. Very excited to be finally starting this series!

Finished Only the Hunted Run
and liked it. I asked the author on his FB page if there were going to be more books in the series. He responded that he was working on a new book but that it wasn't for the series so I'm going to call the series complete as a trilogy.Now I'm reading The Devil's Door
and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
.
I finished Into the Dark by Cindy Gerard, the last book in The Bodyguards, and very much liked the story despite a weak close to the series. Here's my review.
I also finished listening to The Closers by Michael Connelly, Harry Bosch Universe #13, and loved it!!! Here's my review.
I'm now reading You Belong to Me by Karen Rose, Romantic Suspense #12, and am listening to Criminal by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent #6 (already can't put it down).

The size of it puts me off plus a few friends who couldn't finish it.
I am all caught up again with the In Death series. I really enjoyed Apprentice in Death! I am now listening to Once Upon a Tower to finish the Fairytale series by Eloisa James. I finished Sylvanus Now (Book 1), and I am now reading standalone Victoria.

There is a lot of suspense Anita! I loved it! There is a romance that is brewing. I like suspense more than romance but there is a romance starting.
My review of
A Merciful Death by [author:Kendra Elliot.My review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Tracey wrote: "Really looking forward to seeing what you think of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norwell. The size of it puts me off plus a few friends who couldn't finish it."I'm reading very slowly these days, Tracey, but I'm enjoying the book and the writing style. I initially chose it because Neil Gaiman raved about it and I love his work. That said, I can see where it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes. It has a Georgian-esque setting and the more formal sounding writing style matches it perfectly. It's not a hugely action oriented book but, as Gaiman said, I find myself "wandering through the words". The main story has a lot of footnotes which, in their own way, are almost a complete side story of it's own.
I'm sure the romance will take off in the next books in the series. I generally prefer more romance with my suspense, but Kendra Elliot is a great author and the slow simmer romance is working. Since
publishes today I need to finish my review and post it.My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
