Review
This was the second installment of the series. I was miss let down. It was so insta love and I want happy. I ended the happy reunion between the two but damn couldn't they have talked to each other. It was all sex and no depth.
Now that two of you have read your books already (!), I guess I should pick one. I think I'll read a 3:
Lol it's okay Theo, I've been bored at work, had to do something ;)
I have company coming in so I knocked out an audio while cleaning:)
I'll be reading #2 in the series Elite Force
316 pages
Just a heads up - I'll be heading to NO again tomorrow around lunch time. Will be there through Monday - come home Monday evening. Sunday is the baby shower for my d-i-l. It will be a busy weekend, but I should have no problem getting my reading done. And I should have no problem posting and rolling on Saturday.
I'm excited! All four of my kids will be together for the first time since the wedding in June. It will be lovely! And I'm already thinking about what I want to eat.
Lol! I haven't had Cajun in a while, I've been craving some fried gator :)
I should be finished my book by midinight - at the latest in the morning and I will roll and post our reviews.

Review: The Lords of the Underworld are immortal warriors created to protect the gods. Unfortunately, they opened Pandora’s Box, and as punishment, the gods expelled them from the heavens and cursed each warrior with a demon from the box. The third installment of the series focuses on Reyes, who houses the demon Pain. As with the first two books, there is also a woman who may be able to help him control his beast. In the midst of the romance brewing between Reyes and his captive, Danika, there is also some plot, as the Lords continue their search for Pandora’s Box, racing the Hunters for artifacts and trying to figure out where the gods stand in all of this. I think this series is growing on me, although it's not my typical read.

Review:
Second book in the series and I liked it better than the first. Very emotional and action packed. The setting of an earthquake rescue was very believable and the people seemed quite real to me. I found myself worrying over them. The only challenge I had with it was their were multiple storylines going on and sometimes I found myself stretched too thin.
I am posting our reviews and have rolled. I rolled a 6. We are on spot 38.Sorry for the delay!
Spot 38: 2014You can read a #3 or a number #8 or a #38 (if you are at that point in the In Death series!)
Or you can read a book published in 2014.
Perfect roll!!! I have the second in the birds of stone series that was released this last week :)
I'll read
, the third and final book in the His Dark Materials trilogy.
I don't know what to read, think I'm going to browse my shelf to find out then I'll post here.
Okay I'm going with a book published this year.
I'm going to read
#8 in the Sentinel Wars series.
And for the umpteenth time lately, I am changing my book to
Published in 2014

Review:
Shay Savage redeemed herself big time with this book. I <3 Ehd so hard. Caveman books aren't my thing but this one was so worth it. Ehd was beautifully clueless and Beth's ranting. I laughed alot and definitely cried at the end. My biggest qualms are not reading this from Beth's Point of View everything was about Ehd, while I did love and appreciate it I just would have loved to laugh at Beth findings.
That one has been getting some buzz Mika. I changed my book to the 3rd in the white trash zombie series. I'll be done today or tomorrow morning at the latest.

Hope your book goes good.
It is good the narrator makes the white trash zombie books :)

Review:Wow - what a ride!! The Andrews do it again and again!! Kate is faced with her nemesis Hugh and war is looming. She must figure out how to save her city from attack. It is a wild ride. I loved every minute of it.
Why did I pick a 500+ page book?!?I will get it done, but it will probably be late tomorrow night. I'm going back to reading now...
No worries Theo! I still have 3 hrs to go on mine, I'll finish in the am. Leslie wasn't the latest Kate unbelievable!!!! Loved it :)
Jenne, it was so good. I'm tempted to read it over again. As I'm a hopeless romantic, my favorite part was when (view spoiler) That was great. But I'm so intrigued by her relationship with her father. Now we just have to wait for the next one!
I was so shocked at how it ended and can't wait to see where it goes!

This one felt a little disjointed to me. There were several different plots running throughout the book and I found myself having a hard time keeping it all straight. That's the only negative thing I have to say about it though. Angel is really settling into her new life now and has built up a pretty good support system. She finally (view spoiler) This one wasn't quite as action packed as the first two though. I highly recommend listening to these, the narrator does such a fantastic job bringing Angel to life!

Review: Journey back to the beginning of time, or at least the beginning of the Bible. In The Amber Spyglass, while a war is raging, the more subtle and perhaps, ultimately, more important actions of the book parallel that famous scene from Genesis, the fall of man. But while its theology may be controversial, the novel is a tour de force, with visits from all your favorite characters (living and dead), angels, daemons, and flame-throwing bears. And, yes, the story may have a tendency to get a little big for its britches, but it definitely gives His Dark Materials an ending you will be thinking of for days to come.
Awesome job FPR, we rock! All set for tonight's roll :D

Review:
And the do I like Cole, do I hate Cole continues to the bitter end lol. Things wrap up nicely but I didn't think it was as action packed as the first two. Still an easy and fast read though. I love this narrator as well, definitely recommend the audios on these. I do wish there had been an epilogue from 10 years later or something though.
