Julie James' series morphed into contemporary romance after the second book. I still enjoy the series but it's not romantic suspense.

Yeah, I was definitely disappointed by that change, though I did enjoy it, just not some aspects of the plot. At least I know going into the next one what to expect! :)

I was disappointed in the change as well and it put a damper on the rest of the series for me because I had certain expectations as a result of the first two books.

I finished listening New York to Dallas by JD Robb and loved it. It was an intense book! I also listened to the novella, Chaos in Death which was not a favourite for me.

I am now listening to the third and I final in Julia London's Pine River trilogy, The Perfect Homecoming. Heads up the hero in this novel
works for Thrillseeker Anonymous which is a previous series by London. I have not read the TA series.

I'm beginning a new series The Coldest Girl in Coldtown

I agree with you all. I was very disappointed in the last few books. I'd rate them a B to B+ in the com rom category.

I'm reading . Marina Adair writes the best stories about small town life. I'm always smiling at the antics.

[D.G.]

I guess because I've always known Julie James as a contemporary romance writer, I never saw those first two books in that series as RS. The RS was too mild, I thought.

I thought the first book was squarely romantic suspense, the second book...not so much.

[Lauren]

Jonetta wrote: "I thought the first book was squarely romantic suspense, the second book...not so much. "

I agree. The first book was very definitely RS and as I'd never read any of her books before, it established my expectations.

[lorii (Loriidae)]

I agree Lauren, I was surprised that the rest of the Julie James series was more contemporary romance. A great series but I wouldn't mark it as RS.

I have just finished my binge read of the fatal series by Marie Force and on the whole really enjoyed them. I was disappointed in the direction of the sex scenes in #5 Fatal Deception For me it wasn't necessary, and this far into the series, really came out of left field. There were so many other things happening that showed their evolving relationship.
My favourite was #7 Fatal Jeopardy.

I just finished the binge read, too, and am already missing them. Do you want to have a discussion about them overall? I can set up an informal discussion topic for them if you're interested.

Let me know.

[lorii (Loriidae)]

An informal discussion topic sounds good - thanks Jonetta

I finished reading The Staff of Serapis by Rick Riordan, 4 ★. This is a short ebook (59 pages) that combines 2 of Rick Riordan's series. This one features Annabeth Chase from the Percy Jackson series and Sadie Kane from The Kane Chronicles. The author did a really good job combining the 2 series into one story. I like the mix of Greek and Egyptian mythology. Book 3, The Crown of Ptolemy, comes out on May 12th and I'm looking forward to it.

[Jonetta]

I finished A Scoundrel by Moonlight by Anna Campbell, Sons of Sin #4 and liked this story when I thought I wouldn't. I'm now up to date with this series. Here's my review.

I'm now reading Last Words by Stacy Green, Delta Detectives #4.

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

I finished by Karen Rose and enjoyed it.

I actually am! I usually don't like binge reading at all, but I've found myself doing it more often this year than not. I've started some great new series.

Liz (Bugetta) wrote: "Woo hoo! I love it when I recommend a book/series to someone and they binge read it. I've been putting off The Shameless Hour because I'm not ready to be caught up with this series yet. :)..."

It has been a great series. I loved The Shameless Hour. Bella and Rafe were great.

[Monica]

I have been on a sports-themed NA rampage lately. I can't get enough of it. Even if the stories are all blurring together at this point, I am having fun.

I finished The Shameless Hour (The Ivy Years #4) by Sarina Bowen and loved it. I'm all caught up with this series now.

Now I am reading The Mistake book #2 in the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy. And oh boy, I love this series. This author writes top-notch NA.

As long as it working for you! Sounds yummy, though.

I finished Last Words by Stacy Green, Delta Detectives #4, and loved it, though I knew I would. Here's my review.

I also finished listening to Every Which Way But Dead by Kim Harrison, The Hollows #3. Despite it being rather long it still was interesting. Here's my review and I'll post discussion topics by tomorrow.

I'm now reading Bringing Home the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon, Second Chances #1, and listening to Hooked by Tiffinie Helmer, Romance on the Edge #2.

[D.G.]

Congratulate me! I've read three #2 in a series this past week:
and unlike the rest of the world, I didn't like it as much as the first booki. I don't like double standards or books where one character is portrayed as always being right and the other one is portrayed as always being wrong.
- awesome, awesome! Don't know why I waited this long to read this book. Such a complex story
- really good sequel. Definitely continuing the series.

[Jonetta]

Consider you congratulated! That's wonderful to have moved forward in three series beyond the first book.

[Lauren]

I'm listening to and I'm up to the part where (view spoiler)[Cat goes to meet Matigan and she walks into a trap and Bones appears to be dying.

I really don't understand what Cat was thinking. Didn't she have a plan here? Did she really think Matigan would come unprepared?

Also, why is Frost using a plot point (I.e., Bones's apparent death) that she has already utilized? Couldn't she come up with something more original?

I know there is more to this than meets the eye but it just seems like lazy storytelling :0( (hide spoiler)]

I know! A really big achievement! hahahaha!

I'm happier for the second book, which had been in my TBR since 2011. And it was so awesome!

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

YAY, D.G.!!!!! Congrats :)

I'm reading that book right now Lauren and totally agree. (view spoiler)[I have no idea what Cat's plan was when she went to meet Madigan. I thought she would request a meeting to get him away from the place where the vamps were being held underground. Then she and Denise (as Madigan) would infiltrate the prison and rescue everyone. She had to be crazy not to realize he would bring an army. And, the plot where Bones gets killed (again). Dumb. The author has to know we wouldn't believe he would be killed in the middle of the book. (hide spoiler)]

I'm reading book one in a new series by Jennifer Estep, author of one of my favorite series, Elemental Assassins. If you like UF, you'll love Gin Blanco! This one is YA, but i think I'm going to like it nonetheless.

[Monica]

I love her YA series Mythos Academy, so I'm really looking forward to this new one.

[Monica]

I finished The Mistake (book 2 Off-Campus) by Elle Kennedy and I really liked it. I think I like the first book more, but not by much.

Well, (view spoiler)[it all worked out although I'm still not clear on how Bones managed the whole hibernation thing ... (hide spoiler)]

Robin, do you also think that (view spoiler)[Katie is a clone of Kat? Is this Frost's way of arranging for Kat and Bones to have a child? Rather cheesy if this is the case (hide spoiler)]

Not a fan of YA, so I think I'm going to stick with Gin and skip this one.

I wasn't clear on the how Bones managed the whole thing either.

I just finished the book and don't want to give anything away. I liked the way the whole Katie problem was resolved. I guess it was a good way to wind up Cat & Bones story. It wasn't my favorite in the series, but it had a satisfying ending.

I still have the last Vlad book ahead of me. And, I would love if she would write books for Ian and Tate.

[Monica]

Yes to Ian and Tate! I would love it if they at least had a book each.

I have the final Cat and Bones left, and then on to Vlad for his third book. I'm dragging my feet in ending these series though.

She HAS to write a book for Ian! I'm dying to meet the woman who puts him in his place!

I'm also at that point in both series and dragging for same reason. We can do an informal buddy read and hold each other's hand through it lol.

[Monica]

Lol! Sounds good to me, Kris. Let me know when you have room for it, and I'll put it on my plan.

Buddy read!

Don't close the door on it yet, Lauren. It's not reading like a YA. No angsty-ness, yet! Actually, it's starting to get really good.

This week I read Six Years by Harlan Coben. Good story that kept me turning the pages.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Today I finished Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. This one fell a little bit flat for me, but it was a nice ending to a great series.

Thanks for the input Sunny. I think I'll wait for your and others reviews and them make a final decision.

I finished Key of Valor (final book in the Key Trilogy by Nora Roberts) and thought it was a charming conclusion to the series.

I'm now starting Grave Peril which is the third book in the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. My library FINALLY scrapped the crappy WMA audio format for the overdrive MP3 format. And what's more .... I discovered a bunch of the Dresden books in audio format on Scribd! I might actually be able to listen to the rest of the series now!

[Jonetta]

I despise that WMA format! I've one more book I downloaded in that format and then I'm through with it. Just not worth the headaches.

I hate it too. I ended up buying a Sansa player just because so many of our library audiobooks were in WMA format and I could never get Overdrive and iTunes to work together. I hate iTunes also LOL!
