[Laura]

You are cruising along with all these series. Impressive! You are on Fatal #16, I’m on #3, still good?

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Laura! I think so (about Fatal). Sam can be a little immature still but the stories involving the secondary characters are outstanding, especially on audio.

[Lauren]

I gave up on the Fatal series after book 3. I often reconsider that decision though. Perhaps I should give it another chance.

Happy reading, Jonetta!

[Michelle]

Happy reading Jonetta

Thank you, Lauren!

I still enjoy the series and the mystery element got really good. But it’s when her supporting characters took on more depth that the series became a must read. And, she finally created that prequel that explained how Sam & Nick first met, which gave them more layers.

Anyway, I just still like the series😏

Thanks, Michelle.

[Sharon]

Good list. Enjoy! Maybe we will meet on the Karen Rose series.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Sharon! I’m trying desperately.

It’s never too late to start again.

[Anita]

Great list. Happy reading. I was one and done on the Fatal series. It just didn't grab me and make me want to continue. I might go back to it at some point. My library has several audiobooks.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Anita! I wish my library carried the new ones. Force is publishing her own books now. I used to be able to get the audiobooks for review but that ended when she went on her own. It’s become addictive because of the continuing story arcs.

[Anita]

It is tough when the authors start publishing on their own. I have several authors I loved who started doing that and stopped releasing the books to NetGalley and sometimes they don't release to libraries either. Horrors, I actually have to buy the books!

[Jonetta]

Hahaha! We’ve gotten spoiled. She releases the eBooks to the library but not the audio. I spend my precious Audible credits for them.

[Robin]

Nice list, Jonetta! I'm interested in your thoughts on Never Have I Ever.

[Robin]

A couple of years ago I checked to see if my library had the Fatal series. I'd read the first six or seven which I purchased when they were on sale. None of the libraries I use had the books at that time. I should check again. I liked the books that I read.

Thanks, Robin! I got behind but still plan to listen to it next.
