Giulia | 105 comments I finished up Ink and Bone (The Great Library, #1) by Rachel Caine which is just amazing. Five stars for me. I loved the world building and the characters and plot were amazing.

I'm now reading By a Thread (Elemental Assassin, #6) by Jennifer Estep which is pretty awesome!

Sheri Morell (smorell22) | 2165 comments ok I just finished Chances. Are by Christy Reece and loved it. But I am reeling right now. I can't believe it ended it that way. they didn't even make the announcement. for those of you who have read the series did you feel the same. I was already kind of sad that it was ending and I know there US ThE Elite series but I am NOT HAPPY with the way it ended.

I really don't understand why she opted to handle the transition to the new series this way and understand why you're upset. One or two sentences more would have created just as much interest.

Sheri Morell (smorell22) | 2165 comments I agree Jonetta to leave it hanging like that was frustrating. I guess I have to start ThE new series to find ThE answers and hope it gives them lol.

I finished Hailey's Truth by Cate Beauman, The Bodyguards of L. A. County #3, and enjoyed the story despite a TSTL heroine. I think I forgave her because it was all about not giving up on her brother. Here's my review.

I'm now reading Three Proposals and a Scandal by Anna Campbell, Sons of Sin #4.5.

Sheri Morell (smorell22) | 2165 comments Just finished reading Down and Dirty (J.J. Graves Mystery, #4) by Liliana Hart and although it was kind of short I did enjoy it. Going to start listening to Unseen (Will Trent, #7) by Karin Slaughter . Still waiting on Memory Man (Amos Decker, #1) by David Baldacci to become available in Overdrive which is irritating but hopefully it will be soon. Says I am next in line but it has said that for a while.

I finished Three Proposals and a Scandal by Anna Campbell, Sons of Sin #4.2, and loved it! 4.5 stars and a nice story for the beleaguered Marianne Seaton.

I finished listening to Love After All by Jaci Burton, Hope #4, and it was much better than the previous story, an honest, mature romance.

Lastly, I finished Temptation by Robin Covington, Nashville Nights #1, and it was a solid 3 stars. Here's my review.

I'm now reading Cold Moon by Alexandra Sokoloff, The Huntress/FBI #3, and listening to Redemption by B.J. Daniels, Beartooth Montana #2.

I started the 87th Precinct many years ago and remember loving it. Wish I could remember the specific books I read. Thanks for the reminder to see if I can find any of them in audio format.

I found a slew of them at the library. Yeah, the publisher is doing well here as there's quite the cult following of the series.

I keep seeing this series and wondering if I would like it. thanks for the feedback. I will put the first on my TBR list but it might be a little while until I get to it as I have so many other series to read!

Sheri Morell (smorell22) | 2165 comments I just finished Running on Empty and I couldn't put it down. it was great. The LCR series is going to be just as good if not better then the original. Sabrina and Declan were great even though I wanted to smack him around. It brought tears to my eyes several times throughout. Now to continue reading Devious by Lisa Jackson and start listening to Memory Man.

message 1229: by Courtney (last edited Jul 27, 2015 09:08PM) (new)

Courtney (sekay88) I've gotten way behind, so time to catch up. I've read the following in my ongoing favorite series':
Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs (Alpha & Omega #4)
The Lunatic Cafe by LK Hamilton (Anita Blake #4)
This Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost (Night Huntress #5)
Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost (Night Huntress World #2)
Blaze of Memory by Nalini Singh (Psy/Changeling #7)
Dead Heat (Alpha & Omega, #4) by Patricia Briggs The Lunatic Cafe (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #4) by Laurell K. Hamilton This Side of the Grave (Night Huntress, #5) by Jeaniene Frost Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World, #2) by Jeaniene Frost Blaze of Memory (Psy-Changeling, #7) by Nalini Singh

All were up to their usual high quality.

Then, following Jonetta's reviews, started on the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward, and am hooked. Binge read, so far
Dark Lover (BDB #1)
Lover Eternal (BDB #2)
Lover Awakened (BDB #3)
Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #2) by J.R. Ward Lover Awakened (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #3) by J.R. Ward

Finally, at the risk of losing my 'guy card', I will also add that to take the hard edge off of reading almost nothing but edgy thrillers, I have found several CR series that I read about every 3rd or 4th book. I've found these fairly lite, HEA, character-driven romance series' to be very relaxing in prep for the next thriller. Those series are:
Green Mountain series by Marie Force, author of the GREAT "Fatal" series
McCarthy's of Gansett Island series by Marie Force
Swift River valley series by Carla Neggers, author of the very good Sharpe & Donovan FBI series
Thunder Point series by Robyn Carr

Wow, Courtney! You've been busy!!! Thrilled that you're enjoying BDB and you've chosen some good CR series as palate cleansers:)

Courtney (sekay88) Thanks, Jonetta. You've never led me wrong, and BDB is no exception. Love the term 'palate cleansers.' Perfect description.

BDB is an awesome series, Courtney! I just recently read through the series & am anxiously waiting for the next book in April, 2016.


message 1233: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (sekay88) Thanks, Sandra. Your back-and-forth with Jonetta about BDB is what kick-started me into reading the series.

I finished listening to A Faint Cold Fear by Karin Slaughter and I'm still speechless. This is one of the most emotionally complex series I've read in a long time, if ever. Nothing predictable about it. 4 stars.

I finished two reviews for books I read earlier. Here's my review for Three Proposals and a Scandal by Anna Campbell and my review of Memory Man by David Baldacci.

I'm now listening to Gone Missing by Linda Castillo.

I stalled after Dream Lake (5stars) and need to finish up the series.


message 1246: by Giulia (new)

Giulia | 105 comments Crystal Cove is very different from the others. But still very good. Don't know what I'll rate it as I'm not done, but I'm thinking 4 stars for the moment.

I'm a bit behind in my postings and will include reviews later.

I finished Cold Moon by Alexandra Sokoloff, The Huntress/FBI #3. It was much creepier than the previous two but equally as interesting. The story doesn't seem to end yet.

I also finished reading Heat Exchange by Shannon Stacey, Boston Fire #1, and liked it a lot. I'm looking forward to continuing the series.

I'm now reading the long-awaited Brown-Eyed Girl by Lisa Kleypas, Travis Family #4! Please note that the book description has changed from that released last year. The main character, Avery Crosslin, was originally a fashion designer. She's now a wedding planner.
