I cant stand NA anymore unless its humor These immature stories are just so boring!! I'm so over the NA Genre!
I think i have out grown the Immature books and stories I need more realistic to really get into a story .. I still read YA but no where near as much as I use to I've been mostly reading Mystery/Thrillers more Womens Fiction not necessarily chic-lit. True Crime and True Stories and Historical.

I read the first book in this series ages ago! I didnt much care for it so I never continued following the series.
Mod

Mod
I go through stages and moods with reading. I always crave fantasy and rather enjoy the escape but with Fiction, I tend to go by how I'm feeling. I do tend to love a good smut read lol
Mod

Seems like the first book rated much lower than the second. It may be one of those series' that get better as you go along.
Mod
and thought it was ok. Didn't really connect with the characters or found myself lost a little but it ..."I didn’t read past the first one. Glad now that I didn’t.
Mod
and it’s not bad so fr. well, I’m on the first chapter but have a feeling it will be..."Cool
Mod
which has taken me 5 years to get to lol I think I may have rated it higher had I read it then but now I tend to crave more tension in ha..."I’m not sure I have ever cared for NA. To me it feels like they call it NA so they can have older people with more sex but the maturity level is that of the YA. If I want to read immaturity I will read a YA book.
Mod
If I read a mystery it takes me a few books to move on to a different genre. I get so hooked on them. What are you reading now?
Mod
I’m a huge mood reader as well Sylvia.

I just finished
so heartbreaking !! but a true story and then 
the youngest sibling of that family her story because at some point the 5 get separated ... Such heartbreaking stories !!And now I'm reading
not bad so far!
Tracy wrote: "Laura wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "I decided to read which has taken me 5 years to get to lol I think I may have rated it higher had I read it then but now I tend to crave more..."Exactly Tracy I cant stand how Immature they act but there are a zillion sex scenes that feel like they shouldnt be happening with these people that act like "Kids" and the story lines are always the same BS same story different names and location Its just Uhg!

Mod
They sound heartbreaking Laura.
Mod
I do that as well Laura.
Mod
which has taken me 5 years to get to lol I think I may have rated it higher had I read it then but now I tend..."Yes Laura. I find YA to be more original.
Mod
and it was good for me. I’m still pondering if I loved it or liked it. I believe the second book has more potential to be awesome. Wondering what to read now.
I really liked The Cruel Prince. Her characters were fresh and I loved the attention to the dynamics of this dysfunctional, but not unloving step family.
Finished
and I really liked it. It was well written and the characters were believable, even the unlikeable ones. but now I am reading
and oh my.. I can't put this one down. I felt a little guilty because I liked Rhysand in the first book better than Tamlin, but see, now I feel justified in that..lol! The first one was a little slow for me, but ended well and the momentum seems to be holding up. I may not get anything done for the next day or so. I both love and hate when this happens :D

I've been wanting to read this for a while but might wait until the second book is released so as not to wait too long.

That's how I felt about ACOTAR and Rhysand is definitely the better Fae for sure. I haven't read on yet, not sure why, but I remember loving book 2 so much more than book 1.
Mod
and about to start
- seriously, the cover love for these books is through the roof. I'm also halfway through
and rather enjoying it.
Mod
Glad you liked it Louise. I liked it enough to read the next one.

Mod
and there are several LOL moments.

I love it and loved that it didnt end cliffhanger-ish !! It was just enough to keep you interested in reading the next book.
Sylvia wrote: "Finished off another in the Sinners of Saint series by L.J. Shen and about to start - seriously, the cover love for these books is throug..."Woohoo Sylvia you are making your way through L.J Shen books fast! I think I better add them in my next playlist!
4.5/5 ended u being a pretty great Mystery/Thriller and even though I knew what the big "mystery" was I ended up balling through the last 20 - 30 minutes of the story! Now I'm reading
not really into it might end up being a DNF
Not sure what is next ...
Mod

Mod

Laura wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "I decided to read which has taken me 5 years to get to lol I think I may have rated it higher had I read it then but now I tend to crave more tension in ha..."The problem with NA is that authors really believe and are encouraged to make their NA novels VERY sexy. They are told they can't compete in this market without a ton of sex. Thats's fine sometimes and for some people, but I think some readers are getting tired of the same old story, or lack of story, since a lot of these books have little story line and lots of sex scenes. I really like YA but outside of the Arcana Chronicles I haven't found one I really like in a while. There's been a big push toward YA contemporary, which I don't like as much as YA paranormal. I've also been reading womans fiction and historical lately.
Teresa wrote: "Laura wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "I decided to read which has taken me 5 years to get to lol I think I may have rated it higher had I read it then but now I tend to crave more..."Right! I know I would like NA a lot more if there was actually a storyline but there never is Its always boy meets girl they are instantly in love and have lots and lots of sex... The End
I am just so over it!
Not that I dont like the sex scenes I am far from a prude !! I dont care as long as there is a storyline and not just sex just because they think there should be sex happening every other page!
I am also with ya on the YA scene there really hasnt been a series thats at least a bit original that has caught my attention. I've been trying older YA series that I have had on my TBR for ages ... Some are okay some are just meh ... but of course I wont stop looking for a good series!
I've been attracted to the YA Contemporary because they have been running the line of Mystery and not mooshy YA and some are cute tat I dont mind as long as that cute dont turn to "tweenish"
Reading
reminds me of Leigh Bardugo story telling !! A little dark and creepy and I love the Narrator Khristine Hvam She narrated Daughter of Smoke and Bone , The Iron Fey series and The Jane Yellowrock series which I absolutely fell in love with!

I think this book was pretty amazing, if you haven't already read it then i suggest you do. but if you're more into erotic romance then to just teen love then this wouldn't be the best read but it would still be a good one.
Laura wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Taylor wrote: "So i'm currently reading . I read it about 3 years ago and now that i'm reading it again i feel like this book will never get old."Those ..."
Aww Laura, That's pretty disappointing because i've read all the books except for the last one and it was incredible if you ever feel in a nostalgic mood maybe pick up the second book.
