Glad you liked it -- the books get a little more intense as the series progresses. I've read some of all of her series except one, and liked each of them.

[Connie N.]

D.L. picked for me: One Left in Series and Kate Daniels

I had hoped to take a lot more off my One Left in Series list, but at least I was able to finish two. And the Kate Daniels book was awesome, as usual. Thanks, D.L., for the great picks! I don't think I'll be able to finish anything else this month.
