You have really been reading...haha! I liked Brass although it wasn't action packed or exciting but for some reason I just kind of got into it, not even something I would normally read. A friend of mine just recommended Then She was Gone. I was going to pick it up but now I am not sure.

[Teresa]

I'm currently reading , but I'm not sure I'm in the mood for contemporary right now. I feel like I have to finish it before it's due back at the library though. I've also got three other books on my TBR that I'm reading as a judge for a contest.

Yeah I usually like stories like Brass but I just couldnt get into it It just wasnt clicking with me.

I would say Then She Was Gone might be goo if you dont read Mystery/Thrillers all that often. I've read a ton this past year and compared to a lot of them it was just an ok read for me.

[Laura]

LORDY!!!
I read this book a few years back/ actually the audio and I do not remember it being so good!! Even tho this is a KMM book I felt like was reading a Immortals after Dark by Kresley Cole

5/5

I did end up DNF this book!
I was getting confused with the talk of saints! I couldnt decide if she was cray cray or if she was truely seeing and talking to the dead/Saints!

2/5
was kind of like
but Room was much better.

4/5

1/5
1/5
I dunno who The F possibly enjoyed this crap!
He treats his wife like a whore!! Bribes for her to get the things she wants in their divorce! Its disgusting! even more so that she does them!

4/5
Was pretty great! I will be reading more in this series!

DNF
Could be a good book I dunno the Narrator just did not work for me! But what I did get through this book was giving me serious Deja Vu vibes of

[Laura]

Currently





Jay Crownover is a Great Author I need to read more of her books!

[Laura]

Also in my soon TBR list


Last book in the series !! Will miss this series


Hope this one goes on a few more books there is a lot to be told!

[Victoria]

Finished and it was disappointing compared to the second one. The writing is just not good and everything just turns out too perfect, which some people might like, but in this book it felt contrived. I am glad I stuck with it though, I feel closure for this series ( even though I know she is planning more, but for me, I think this was the end of the road). Now I am reading which is urban fantasy. It is taking me a while to get into it, but it has great reviews so I am going to give it more time and see if I get drawn in.

[Laura]

I'm almost done with I thought this was the last book in the series -Not that Im gonna complain I love this series- but I guess Its not Which is fine with me I just hope she dont drag it out. Right now there is still plenty that can and needs to be told some loose strings from past books tied up.

I get so sucked into this world The audio Narrator she is just amazing!! and knows how to tell a story thats for sure!

So now I am in a PNR/Urban Fantasy state of mind Going to have to find me a good series.

[Laura]

5/5
I love this series !! I cried more than a few times ..
there was a few things at the end that i wanted to scream at well because they are BIG things and have effects on the next book - spin-off ?? Not sure because it has to be confirmed !!

4/5 excellent Thriller!

after 50% I skimmedto the end.
The first half and the second half are NOTHING alike talk about a 360 and switch up of genre!

I had a bunch of DNF or just not books for me





Skimmed to the end.

I just couldnt get into these books or just didnt care enough about what was going on to finis the books. I have to many books on my TBR to waste time on books I have to make myself finish!

[Laura]

Up next








Finally


and because I need a new Urban Fantasy/PNR

[Laura]

Yall how did you do it !?!?!
???
I can NOT stand this anymore !!! Cheating is one thing and the relationship ends but to be living in the same house and being together when the boyfriend isnt around is just disgusting on both of these HOs!!

I see so many 4 & 5 star reviews but I just dont get it!! Im about halfway through and I am ready to DNF !! This crap is affecting my mood !! Grrr

[Laura]

2/5
started out good but it was just blah

3/5
was a reread but It was still good

Started
But not sure I will be able to get into the story .. I have umm on audio and the Narrator sounds like a 100 year old women!! I checked and she is the Narrator for all of Ilona Andrews books and there are like 3 series I have had on my TBR for ages!

I never read this series just for the fact that I knew there was cheating in it. I'm not a fan of that either. Good to know that I'm not missing out on anything lol

GAH!! I finished it ... But honestly had she cut the book about 200 pages (its 500+ pages) and cut some of the cheating out - seriously the majority of the book is cheating - I get that she was setting it up for Kellin and Kiera love story but honestly it did NOT need to be all about cheating!

2 stars from me!

[Laura]

Now I need something a little more cheery or dark to get away from all this this drama/angst!

I wanted to read Magic Bites, well listen to it, but a narrator can really mess up a book. Think I’ll pass.

Not much bothers me in a book unless it’s to repetitive.

How disappointing ugh

Yeah, too much angst really sets me off in a bad mood. I often need to read some fantasy to get over it.

[Laura]

I read this afrer Thoughtless
1/5
It was sooo predictable that I am mind blown at the high rating!

Havent heard of this book but it has high praise and also being said to be the YA Game Of Thrones . It sounds good ...Guess I will find out

[Teresa]

I finished . It was good if you're looking for something lighthearted. I'm a little burnt out on contemporary so it was a bit hard for me to get into it, but I can't blame the book for that. It was actually very fun. Maybe you'll like it Laura since you're looking for something cheery:)

I felt the same, giving ACOWAR 3 1/2 stars. It didn't have the same vibe and ACOMAF and I wish it did. Anyways, still curious about whom Maas will be writing about next in the series since Feyre's story is over.

[Sylvia]

Okay I finished off a couple of books including,
which was insightful yet so bogged down with so much information
which was a massive let down especially after how amazing book 2 was.
I'm halfway through and absolutely loving this even though I didn't really think I would cause I didn't much fancy Bane from the previous book in the series but now I love him faults and all.
I also started reading and am quarter of a way in and I don't know what the point of this novella is...ugh so frustrating.

[Laura]

I just got an ARC from St.Martins Press !! I'm freaking out!! This is my most Anticipated read of the year!! In this genre anyways!!

That cover is so much more awesome in person!

It sounds creepy!

[Kateb]

I have been given Christine Feeham Dark series. not bad. getting a bit repetitive in the storyline but I am up to book 24. However the over all story line that each book fits into is interesting in its own right

[Laura]

Oh My Goodness !!
I am reading / Listening
( Will Patton is Narrator-He is an Amazing Narrator)
It is absolutely disturbing!
Before this book the most disturbing book I had read was



They are both equally disturbing just in slightly different ways so far ...

[Tracy]

Currently listening to and . All three are really good so far.

The wife between us was lame I think I gave it 3 stars
I knew what was going on from the 2nd chapter

Girl In Pieces was decent think I gave it 3 stars

[Sana]

Finished the second book in The Yara Silva Trilogy It wasn't as good as the first book but I liked it. The plot is original and it's quite refreshing YA series.

Just could't get into it.
One of the rare instance when the show is waayyyy better than the books. The writing was so juvenile, it made Twilight look good.

Also read and Two of my favorite series.

Nearly finished and I'm liking it. Looks like I'm way late to the party as it seems that everyone has read and love The Mercy Thompson Series .
Next I'm going to start by Steve McHugh

I love L.J. Smiths Vampire Diaries ! Absolutely love that the show was different than the books but also wish they still would have added some characters from the books to the show. Also loved Twilight series too so there is that ...

Mercy Thomson was an ok series but all in all I thought she was a f'in whimp! The biggest wuss in every way that matters !!

Charley Davidson and Half-Moon Hollow series are also loved series from me

I have the first book in the Yara Silva Trilogy but its sooo old I dont think I would be able to get into it now. I've found so many of the older YAs that I loved are now boring ...

[Laura]

5 stars !!
loved it every single piece of it !! It had everything I love in the most excellence of books! I laughed, I cried ,I sympathized Loved it!

[Tamara]

So far my favourite read this year has been by Tomi Adeyemi. It had me at African-inspired fantasy (I believe it's West African...correct me if I'm wrong). Personally, the romance side of it was a little meh for me but I fell in love with everything else.
Being POC myself, it's nice to have more POC fantasy :)

I'm not sure if I just love COBAB that much, but so far everything else I've read so far this year has been bland :(

I need to check this one out Tamara. I’ve seen it around a bit. Wonder if my library has it? Need to look.

[Tracy]

Finished and I really enjoyed it. Now to finish
