Under Fire (Elite Force, #3) by Catherine Mann
10/11/14 3.5★

Review:
I really enjoyed this third book in the series. It was much faster paced and the two main characters were likeable and easy to read about. They suspense was pretty light but still kept my interest. Overall, it was a quick, easy read.

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 1052 comments I will check back early in the morning when I first get up and check on Theo's review (no rush!!). Then I will post and roll.

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Sounds good! I'll be up till 12 or so if you want me to check and roll I can, if you'd rather in the am that's cool too :)

Read: The Castle of Llyr (The Chronicles of Prydain #3) by Lloyd Alexander by Lloyd Alexander
Finished: 10/12/14
Rating: 4 stars
Review: Princess Eilonwy is being sent to the Isle of Mona to learn how to be a lady, and Taran realizes that she has become more to him than just a friend. When a 'feckless' prince arrives to escort the princess to her new home, Taran sees a rival for her affections, one who is much more appropriate for her than an assistant pig-keeper. However, when they arrive on the island, Taran is warned of the re-emergence of Achren, the evil enchantress who was defeated in the first book of the series who is looking for revenge against the princess. And, when Eilonwy goes missing, can Taran and Prince Rhun work together to find her, no matter their differences? Familiar faces, giants, and lots of adventure are in store in this delightful continuation of a classic high fantasy series.

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 1052 comments Thanks, Jenne! Great job Team!!

Sorry I'm a little late this morning. But I posted and rolled a 5. Our new spot is 58.

We can read a #5 or a #8. I'm not sure what Black pertains to, so I'll let Jenne explain. Is that cover or find the word?

I think I'm going to read Willing Sacrifice (Sentinel Wars, #8) by Shannon K. Butcher which is #8 in the Sentinel Wars series.
But of course this could change!!

Omg, I was really liking this book up until a certain asshole faked his death. It was so unfair to Elijah who was not dealing with the love of his life faking his own death. His grief was so much I was crying it was hard to read. Then came this wonderful angel name Micheal who was so supportive and encouraging yet very loving. I was so confused about the book I thought it was contemporary but after this I'm thinking about maybe this should have been tagged Fuckery at its finest.

Review
I have a very bad problem, it's called the EIT disorder. I can't think of anything else, I don't want to read anything else, and I know when it's over I'm going to be crushed. But it's a bittersweet torture and I'm loving every second of it.

If you're debating on reading these books, stop what you're doing and get to downloading them. There are only a handful of times that I can think of where a book had such an impact that it changes you somewhat and all of these are doing this. The dynamics between Dex and Perry are unbelievable and I will never get enough of these two. Mrs. halle is a gifted author and these books leave me speechless.

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 1052 comments Jenne, I'll have to try the second book in this series. I don't remember being crazy about the first book, but I don't really remember why.

I have started my book, though I'm not going to get a lot of reading time today. It's my birthday and I have 2 job interviews and a training session to go to today.


message 367: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Happy Birthday Leslie!!!!!
Book 1 was really good but book 2 is where I became an addict lol. I'm just gonna go ahead and read the rest of them through, I have to....

I was so angry reading the middle of that book. Human beings are disgusting. My full review is way worst lol.

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 1052 comments I got a job - great birthday present!

message 374: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 1052 comments Thanks! It's in New Orleans, so it's a little crazy as my husband is still in Shreveport. But we will figure it out.
I'm about 50% finished with my book. I am headed home for the weekend but should be finished by late tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. Sorry for the delay. RL just keeps cropping up!


message 375: by Theo (new)

Theo | 1929 comments First of all, Happy Belated Birthday Leslie! And congrats on the new job.

Secondly, I'm also still reading, and as usual, I probably won't get a chance to finish up until after church tonight. So, expect my review between 10-11 tonight.


message 376: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Please no later than tomorrow am Leslie lol..I'm gonna be chomping at the bit for the next EIT after I finish 6 tonight.

Willing Sacrifice (Sentinel Wars, #8) by Shannon K. Butcher
10/15/14 4★

Review:
I really enjoyed this book in the Sentinel Wars series, though Grace began to annoy me slightly. And as always in this series, I stay slightly confused. But the action was fast paced and I liked the fact that Torr was committed to Grace even though she wasn't his lifemate.


message 380: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 1052 comments There you go Jenne!!

Read: The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, #5) by Eoin Colfer by Eoin Colfer
Finished: 10/15/14
Rating: 4 stars
Review: This installment of the Artemis Fowl series introduces a new fairy race: demons! These creatures exiled themselves out of time, but occasionally an unsuspecting demon gets sucked back to earth through a time tunnel. Artemis has been studying these anomalies, and Holly Short, who has quit the LEP force and started a PI business, gets recruited into a top secret unit that has been keeping an eye on demon activity. With familiar faces like Butler, Foaly, and Mulch Diggums, as well as some new characters, including a sprite named Doodah Day, this book has everything you would expect from the series: action, humor and plenty of magic.

Read: And With Madness Comes the Light (Experiment in Terror, #6.5) by Karina Halle by Karina Halle
Finished: 10/16/14
Rating: ★★★★★
Review:
Ok so if I wasn't already in love with Dex Foray this would of done me in for sure! I was very excited to read from his POV, since let's face it what a complicated and dark character he is. Well it was every bit of awesomeness I expected! My heart broke some more for these two as well, but I now know it comes with the territory. There's one major plot shocker in this one that's been driving me nuts the last couple of books too. Off to go download The Dex Files!

And my favorite quote of the book:
“I was head over heels in love with her. No, that didn’t describe it. I was tear my fucking heart out and throw it at her, beg her to take it into hers.”

(Besides Jenn being called a twatwaffle lol)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 445 comments Damn Jenne you make me want to read the series. I have book one already. I've just came off a series. I'm in major series hangover mode.


message 397: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments READ IT!!!! While they are spooky, it's actually one of the best romance reads I've ever read. If you're looking for instalove and tons of sex, that's not it. It's really about 2 very damaged souls that complete the other. Lots of bumps (major bumps) along the way and Ms. Halle will rip you apart and build you back up. I imagine my description makes it sound bad lol but it's a torture you love. Go look at my read shelf and see for yourself what it's done to me. I never and I mean never read a series straight through like this.

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Oh and they have their funny moments too. The snarky banter and the teenage humor is quite funny!

Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 445 comments I see you are doing carnage too this series. I might give book one a chance. I like Karina's style of writing plus she wrote one of my best book boyfriend Camden McQueen.


message 400: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Book 1 was good, book 2 was better, book 3 was when the carnage began lol.
