Wow on time!

[Maddie]

It was only called this morning!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Updated :)

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

I will read

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Added it Sunshine :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Finally fixed my frozen Kindle :) Yay!!!

I didn't know they could do that, but looking at the amazon website, looks like it does happen a bit too frequently for comfort. Oh well, at least its working for now.

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

OMG. I would die if my kindle stopped working. The only problem I've ever had was with my last one. I had it for so long the battery gave up. Would only work if it was plugged in. I called amazon and even though I was long out of any warranty, they gave me 15% off a new one. :-D

Review:
I have to keep reminding myself that the characters are in highschool. I get so annoyed with the drama. What do I hate more than love triangles (squares)? Teenage love triangles! Ugh But looking past all that, it wasn't bad. There was a couple twists I didn't see coming which keeps me interested in seeing what happens in the next book.

I was shocked & kept trying to fix it, till I reasoned there would be a troubleshooting file at Amazon, and there was. It was easy to fix thank goodness.

Updated you Sunshine :)

Shelf: 2nd, 3rd or 4th Book in a Series
Date: 25/8/17
Rating:★★★★

Ivy & Rafe are now an item, this being the 3rd book.

Rafe was not impressed with his Boss almost getting Ivy killed in the previous book so he quit The Order. Unfortunately, almost being killed by a necromancer has left Ivy with some after effects ... she sees cursed dead people. Especially dead witches.

That is how they find out about a serial killer who targets witches. He's a Null, so magic doesn't affect him, which is hard for most witches to comprehend. Once again Ivy is the brains who figures out where to find the killer, despite her laziness and Rafe is the logical one who deals with the authorities.

Lots of narrow escapes, hidden rooms, bad cat Brutus, a plethora of cursed ghosts, bruises & crematoria.

Always enjoy Helen's stories.

Requested our stamp for Shelf 2!! Yay!!

Good Job!! :D

[Maddie]

Awesome! :D Not too sure when I'll get to my debut book, but hopefully soon! I've overbooked myself already for September :/

[Maddie]

It's just the debut shelf open for now, right? We get the next shelf tomorrow?

[Maddie]

Awesome I'm swapping my debut-author book :p is on there and I'm reading that in the first few days in September.

Correct Maddison, and I'll update your change in a moment :)

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Just an update. I'm reading my free space book right now ☺

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Thanks Steph :)

Yay Sunshine!!

I've started my Debut Author book, its a bit hard going cause the heroine is an anti-heroine. Half demon who eats souls. I'm yet to come across anything funny, which this book is supposed to be. We'll see......

[Maddie]

That sounds good Sandra.

Shelf #4 ~ 8/30/17: Action Packed

[Maddie]

Oh yay new shelf :D

That one's easy haha.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I think I'll read for Action Packed :)

[Maddie]

Told you guys I'd keep up this time around :D

[Maddie]

And I plan on reading lots in September so I'll be sussed.

I'm really, really happy about that Maddison and glad for you too :D

[Maddie]

Thanks XD

And me too!

[Maddie]

I just need to wait for Tower of Dawn to come out so then it'll be on that shelf and I can count it :p

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Too many options!!! Lol. I'm going to go for Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

[Maddie]

Awesome :D

I just know that the next Throne of Glass book will be put on that shelf when it comes out, and that's less than a week away :D

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Usually people don't give that tag till they've read it. At the moment no one has tagged it that.

And if no one does then you've wasted a week Maddison. I'd pick another book, you'll no doubt be able to use Tower for another shelf shortly.

[Maddie]

Yeah that's why I'm waiting for it to come out because there'll be a huge influx of people reading it all at once haha.

Yeah, I'm reading Sweet Evil right before I read Tower though. So even if I waited it would still be out when I get to it haha. If not, I'll pick something else :) I'm starting Sweet Evil (debut-author) tomorrow.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Ok hope it works out then.

[Maddie]

Yeah me too! Otherwise I'll find another :) There are easy books on that shelf.

Shelf #4 - Action-Packed

Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward
How It Fits: Tagged 3 times as Action Packed

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Updated you Louise :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Wow, none of us have completed our Debut Author books before the next shelf call, incl me. I think this is a first for me, that the entire team is behind, and I've played every round. Maybe debut author is just a hard shelf to read.

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Yeah I was thinking of changing my book for that shelf. :-(

I'll let you know if I end up starting something else.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

No worries, I might do as well LOL

[Maddie]

I'm starting my debut-author book today.

Review:
We met Niniane (Tricks) and Tiago in the first book. Tricks is a Dark Fae and the last surviving heir to the throne. Tiago is a Thunderbird. At the end of the first book, she is leaving NY and the Wyr compound to go take her place at court. This book picks right up from there and as she is being escorted by "family" she survives an assassination attempt. Tiago, already feeling things for her but not yet realizing it, rushes off to protect her.

I found Tricks to be more of a damsel in distress than the strong, funny, girl's girl she was in the first novel. I got so tired of reading how small she was and how large he was. I get it. You're idea of a sexy woman is 5', 80 lbs, perfect body, big boobs. A sexy man is 6+', 250 lbs of super solid muscle, 8 pack abs, overly protective. I just picture them next to each other and it looks ridicules. But that's just me.

I did enjoy the story though. We get a look at the Fae and Vampire politics and you can't help but root for their relationship through all the boulders in their way. I look forward to Rune's story next.

Requested our Freespace stamp *happy dance*

Sunshine, I found the series interesting but most of them didn't live up to the promise of the first book. Maybe I'm being unrealistic to expect them too, because I really, really loved that first one.

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

So, I won't lie. I'm starting my Action-Packed book next. ;-)

I did change my Debut book to . I made this one work with other challenges and, since the final book is coming out next year, I'm ready to read them. :-D

[Maddie]

Haha we are hoping to read the same series sunshine

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

No worries Sunshsine, I've started my Action Packed book & I've changed my Debut Author one as well. I'm hoping is at least tolerable. We'll see.
