I am reading . I am loving it. It is the first book in a series.

[Mary Beth]

I just finished The Good, the Bad, and the Undead. I just love the Hollows Series by Kim Harrison. I am still reading Finders Keepers by Stephen King and listening to

[Charlene]

I suppose I'm very late to the party, but does anyone know if there are Will Trent book discussions in one of your groups? If so, I'd like to go back and read them. Maybe Mary Beth will want to do this, too....

I love this series, the fifth and last book will be out this year.
Still debating if I want to start another of her series, but she has so many books and series.

I read the Grant County series but didn't have the heart to move on to Will Trent. It still makes me mad when I think about it.

I recently picked up the first Harry Bosch book at one of the local used bookstores in my area but I don't think I'll be catching up to the group read. Just curious if anyone has checked out the Bosch series on Amazon Prime and how it stacks up to the books?

I can understand that Veronica. When I read the last book in the Grant series it really hit me. I read Slaughter's books in order so I got a taste of Will Trent before the last book and I think that was why I am able to read the Will Trent series. I hope you give Will a try one day...he is one of my favourites.

[Jonetta]

Ditto what Kris said. I read the first book in Will Trent before Kris warned me to stop and read Grant County. As upset as I was about how that series ended, I'm loving WT.

[Veronica]

We'll see but, I have to admit, I tend to hold grudges, lol. Especially in a case like this one where the author (view spoiler)[snatched the HEA away from Sarah/Jeffrey right near the end. I know the series isn't a romance where a HEA is a sure thing but that sort of shock value ending just makes the books that came before it seem pointless. I don't understand why the author just couldn't let the Grant County series come to an end and move on to the Will Trent series. Crossing Sarah over into that one just renders the explanation she gave to fans for Jeffrey's death useless. (hide spoiler)]

LOL, as you can see, I am still royally bitter and the Grant County series was years ago for me.

But, hey, never say never! :-)

Completely understand. I read her letter to readers (view spoiler)[and because I never read the series for the romance, that wasn't what killed me. It was me finally starting to like Jeffrey...I'd had a love/dislike relationship with him for most of the series and actually didn't want Sara to take him back.

I thought it brave of the author to do what she did, which was stay true to her story. She paid dearly for the decision and the Will Trent series is an even more complicated one. FYI, Sara doesn't show up until book #3. (hide spoiler)]

Certainly not trying to talk you in or out of your point of view. Just sharing my perspective.

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

Well I am glad you said, "never say never". If you ever do read WT series please let us know what you think, Veronica.

I'm also a huge Ann Aguirre fan. Make sure you check out the Dark Age Dawning trilogy starting with . It a collaboration she did with Carey Lofty. (I think that her name). Terrifying dystopian. Underrated.

I finished Wilde at Heart by Tonya Burrows, Wilde Security #3, and here's my review.

I'm now reading Where Serpents Sleep by C.S. Harris, Sebastian St. Cyr #3.

I have so many books lined up for this month (and probably next) that I don't know when I'll get to Unseen. Glad to hear its a winner.

It's also been renewed for a third season so I'm definitely curious.

I understand EXACTLY how you feel. I didn't even want to start the Will Trent series at all, feeling betrayed by the Grant County ending.

When I finally got around to reading the first WT book, I just did not see what other readers were raving about. I decided I would try another because I wanted to be sure before I dropped the series. It was a long warm up for me -- I certainly did not fall for Will. Yet the crime stories and the interconnecting characters' stories finally hooked me, too.

If you decide to try Will Trent sometime, we'll all be interested to read your opinions. However, if you don't, there are so many authors and books out there, we'll all keep cheering each other on as we read and share!

[Charlene]

I read the second John Wells book today: , so I've officially gotten myself into another series; oh, dear.

I didn't give this the 5 stars I gave the first book, but 4 - 4.5 stars.
The main character is all over the globe on this one, but the writing is still intelligent and reads as if its situations are taken from the front pages of good newspapers. Threats of war on more than one front, etc. I'll have to space the books in this series out, rather than binge on them.

I totally agree that this series is underrated. I read it a few years ago and enjoyed it very much.

THANK YOU for that. I don't recall that being among what I've not read yet.

Ah yes. That Ethan is something. I'd be one of the groupies wearing the 'I heart Ethan' shirts. Lol!

Can't wait to hear how you like the book. I really enjoy where this series is heading. I'm a sucker for the politics.

Jonetta wrote: "River Marked was the last book I read."

Are you up to date with Alpha and Omega? It's a testament to Briggs I think that when I started this Mercy book I had gotten the storylines mixed up and was expecting it to pick up where the last A&O book had left off but both series are so great that I didn't even mind when I discovered my mistake. I also love how you can see bits of the major story arc in both stories. Such a great writer that Briggs :).

So am I, Erin. There was a rough period there and I'm glad she got the series back on track. And, I'm so glad that Sophie Eastlake is doing the narration. She's made a huge difference in my listening experience.

Thanks, Charlene. I sometimes pause at the Karin Slaughter shelf and look at the Will Trent books but I'm just not ready to trust the author again. Maybe one day but, as you said, there are a lot of other books out there and at this point my TBR list has grown so big that I may never get around to reading them all in my lifetime, lol.

I think it's about time for me to go through my TBR shelf and do another purge to delete books that have been on there for years but that I'm just not really interested in anymore.

I wasn't doing audio yet with this series before Eastlake. Glad I only jumped aboard when she took over. I've heard the previous narrator wasn't great.

[Jonetta]

Pretty bad, IMO. All the characters sounded the same and she ran all of the dialogue together like she was speed reading. No inflections. Very difficult listen.

Sorry, gatecrashing a conversation... Which narrator did you find bad? I have Moon Called in my wishlist on Audible and the narrator is Lorelei King. Is that the narrator that is not great?

We're referring to the Chicagoland Vampires series, which began with Cynthia Holloway narrating. I won't listen to a book with her listed as narrator again.

Not everyone agrees but there were several of us reading the series together a couple of years ago and this view was unanimous amongst us.

[Jonetta]

Oh, and Lorelei King is well regarded.

Oh that will teach me for gatecrashing LOL! I tried to track the conversation back to confirm the series but I got lost (one of the few occasions where I DO miss the nesting function in Shelfari).

Great to hear Lorelie King is well regarded! Thanks.

Gate crash on!!! I miss the nesting feature, too.

Cynthia Holloway is awful! Nevertheless, there are a few UF series that she narrates and I want to listen to so I suck it up :0(

Hey Tracey, I just wanted to add my thumbs ups for Lorelei King. At first, when I started listening to her read this series it was a bit weird because I associated her voice with the Stephanie Plum series (which she did a great job with). Now, I've come to really like how she does the Mercy Thompson books and I like the consistency. I really don't like it when some series have a bunch of different narrators. The Alpha and Omega series has different narrators but the audiobooks are still good. I've read the books and listened to them all a couple of times and still love both series.

[Jonetta]

Holter Graham narrates Alpha & Omega and I'm loving his performances.

That's right, I couldn't remember the name off the top of my head. I don't like the way he does Charles' voice but other than that he's an excellent narrator.

[Jonetta]

It threw me off initially but now I'm used to it.
