R15: Team #8 ~ Oxygen8

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yes, I remember :(

[Maddie]

Not getting that bad again. This is a priority now! I'm sure of it, so don't worry Sandra :)

I'll check out those shelves for the FS soon.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Good to hear!!

Definitely reading for FS & I think I'll go either or for Kindle Freebie.

[Maddie]

What's Kindle Freebie?

[Maddie]

Oh that's the shelf! It was released right on time XD I didn't notice it.

[Maddie]

I'll pick my books in around half an hour.

[Maddie]

If a novella's on the list, can we count it?

[Maddie]

They all look like trashy romance/urban fantasy haha.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

All books need to be at least 200 pages, regardless of shelf :)

[Maddie]

Okay thanks.

This is a tricky shelf XD Might need to try and find Hopeless somewhere. I love Hoover's books <3 Read them all.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

As long as its on the shelf.

[Maddie]

Yeahp :)

[Maddie]

Going with for Kindle Freebie, as Hopeless isn't available :(

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Perfect!
I will read

One whole person on page 4 of it's shelves. But it's there! The other book I wanted to read only had Kindle Freebies. Ugh. Technicalities. :-D

[Maddie]

XD Always the confusion.

[Maddie]

I'll be reading for FS, which is from the second option from the YA Fantasy series thread.

[Maddie]

I'm assuming that shelves are always called at the same time, right? And that's also the time we need to have our books read by if we're real behind?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

:)

Master List updated with everyone's picks.

[Maddie]

Awesome :D

I almost picked that one Louise, hope its good!

[Maddie]

Ah right :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'm nearly half way through and loving every word.

[Maddie]

It does look good! Isn't it confusing, having it be both 1st and 16th in a series? How does that work?

[Maddie]

You can't read both series at once..

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

It's really just the 16th book but Nalini has decided its the 1st of a 3 book story arc so that's why its both.

If you didn't want to read the 1st 15 books, you could start at this one as she gives lots of info without it being dumped on you. But you'd be missing out on 15 really good books.

[Maddie]

I couldn't do that XD I'd need to read them all in chronological order.

It must be hard to write that book, knowing it's both a follow-on and a new start.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Well I've read them all, and finished #15 on the 9th just so I could read for Bingo.

[Maddie]

Ah cool.

Nalini Singh has treated us to a fantastic ride inside the Moscow StoneWater Bear Den with Alpha Valentin Nikolaev leading the charge, as a gentleman bear whilst being as sneaky as a cat.

The reason for the sneakiness is Silver 'F*cking' Mercant, the woman he wants to mate, the Director of EmNet, a Psy still in Silence, Kaleb's Senior Aide, his Starlight and a fascinating mix of fire and ice. And a woman who gets because .... bears.

The banter between the two is hilarious, and is a definite highlight. I also loved the insight we get into the Mercant clan, with the Alpha, Grandmother Ena a force to be reckoned with & Silver's brother Arwen who is an E. It is Arwen who has tempered the Mercant clan simply by his presence within the family. Family is everything to the Mercants, just as it is to StoneWater.

Alongside this intriguing match are assassination attempts, the Consortium, and small splinter groups of pro humans, cute baby bears, chaos as disasters happen all over the world, failing Silence, naked skin privileges, surgery, bear parties & a bear with a heart as big as the world.

This spinoff about the Trinity Accord is written in the style of the first books of the series, but we now have a better understanding of Changeling craziness & Psy silence, so is a much richer, more romantic, action packed story.

Review:
Zach is one of the original dragons from back in the day. He and others like him, the Gem Dragons, were put in cryovac until they could be awakened and prove they could protect humanity.
Zach has never cared for humans, but then he sees Erin.

I found it meh. Not horrible, but nothing amazing. I didn't feel his angst about being in a world that he was no longer a part of and the romance was quick. It's a great book for when you want something quick and easy to read between big books though and I'm sure I will read the rest in the series.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I hope your next book is better Sunshine :)

[Maddie]

Does the book need to be the edition we read? Because I'm going to listen to if I can, and there's a 224pg edition of it. Can I count it?

Review: I made it. I truly did this time. Right to the end. I am so proud of myself XD I can't believe it! After re-reading the first book like 9 times, and the second a few less than 9, I finally trudged through and here I am. No more books to go. Not sure how it feels XD Relief, I think? This was definitely a weird book, a whole lot less exciting as the others, but definitely weird. A lot more twists too, I think, what with (view spoiler)[A10103 being Dylan, having these Horsemen, Jeb working with Martinez who's working with Hans, who's the orchestrator of the whole apocalypse. And then Fang 'dying', and Max being pregnant!!! (hide spoiler)] So yeah, quite a lot of surprises, but I think it ended well :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yes Maddison. As long as there is an edition of 200 pages or more its ok to read. Someone else has already read that book, I think it was one of the foreign language editions that is more than 200 pages.

Which shelf do you want to read this one for?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Ooh cross posting. I guess you want to change your kindle freebie book?

[Maddie]

Can I please change my Kindle Freebie from Frey to Finding Cinderella?

And cross-posting? What's that?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

We posted as more or less the same time.

Changing your book now :)

[Maddie]

Ah right haha.

Thanks :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Hope everyone had a great weekend :)

How's the reading going?

[Maddie]

I'm 2 chapters into Finding Cinderella :) I'll be done in the next few days.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Just over half way through and should finish it tomorrow, but after new shelf call :)

[Maddie]

So pleased I'm up to date xD already read my fs book too!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Excellent Maddison!!
