I am hopelessly hooked to the Fatal series. I finished Fatal Mistake by Marie Force, book #6, and here's my review. Loved it.
I jumped right into the next book, Fatal Jeopardy and got so intrigued I'm already halfway through.

Each book dovetails into the next. There's quite a bit of similarity between it and the In Death series...the timeline for each book is about two to three months, the heroine, Sam Holland, is a homicide detective and heads up the division and she's often a bit caustic, and her love interest is a dreamboat. Also, her secondary characters are developing similarly to how Robb develops hers. It's not as in depth but the framework is there.
The cases are also very, very interesting. Sam isn't as skilled, IMHO, as Eve Dallas, though. She's good and leads her team really well but doesn't have that "Eve" factor that's hard to put your finger on.
Can you tell I'm hooked?:)

Jonetta - You will not be disappointed by continuing. GREAT series. Wait 'til you get to[bookcover:Fatal Scandal|21468248]. You will be blown away.
Just finished reading The Keepsake and although it started off very slow it turned out to be a great read. Now I have to go through my series and decide which book to start next.

I've got about another 1/2 hour to go on this one and will be starting it:)

I forgot about one of my series...Buchanan by Julie Garwood. So I am listening to Shadow Dance today. This is what happens when I don't keep track of all these series. Thank goodness for FictFact.
I started reading Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen about 1130 this morning and I haven't been able to put it down. I am about to start chapter 19. if the description of the book is true I am going to be really sad. I have to know though so will keep reading until I finish
I completed by binge read of the Fatal series, finishing with Fatal Jeopardy (my review) and Fatal Scandal (my review). Now I've got to wait until September. Guess that's the downside of catching up:)
I'm now reading A Scoundrel by Moonlight by Anna Campbell, Sons of Sin #4, another series where I'll be up to date when I'm done.

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.
Just finished reading Rendezvous with Rama

today and also listening to
. I am also slowly reading The Silent Girl
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. Review to come.
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.

Finished Shannon Mayer's Rylee Adamson #2 and #3,
. This is a fun, action-packed, easy-to-read series. Rylee is putting together the most fun & interesting "pack"/family that I've seen.Started Hamilton's Anita Blake #1
. Very good so far.
I'm reading Rescue Me by Christy Reece. 2 chapters in and I'm hating Alise already, such a cruel b****.

And she gets worse.

Oh my Gosh! I completely forgot I needed to listen to the Suffragette Scandal (Brothers Sinister) by Courtney Milan. So, I started it today. I am really struggling with this book. Maybe if I go back and listen to the whole series again?
started reading Your Next breath last night and already loving it. have to hold off reading until tonight as I am at the Talladega Speedway watching the NASCAR race
what Ive read since last I posted:
- So far my favorite Dresden book.
- kind of interesting, but wasn't really a subject that pulled me in.
- probably so far my least favorite of this series. I find the series just okay overall and sometimes don't know why I keep going, but there is something about it I keep wanting to read or hoping for from it.
- A good start to an Urban Fantasy series. It's typical while putting a different spin on the supernatural creatures. Good enough I purchased the next two that were on sale at amazon still.
- another recommended by my mother-in-law series. It was a big hit for me. Sweet, Steamy, and had be laughing out loud. Lucky for me she loaned me a bunch of the series to read through!

I enjoyed Summer Knight, too. Nonstop action.
I gave up on Coulter's series after #4. That book was pretty bad and the series was uneven for me.
LOVE the Lucky Harbor series! One thing to note...she does the series in groups of threes (separate groups of three friends/sisters, give or take a couple of novellas).
