In #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs's "Dating Terrors," the werewolf Asil finds an online date might just turn into something more--if she can escape the dark magic binding her.

I'm starting.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I didn't know Rachel Cain died.

I love Toot-Toot!

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I liked The Dark Ship by Anne Bishop. I always enjoyed her books and the world she's created.

Comfort Zone by Kelley Armstrong was good. I had read the first book in this series and wasn't in love with it so I didn't read more, but I did enjoy the short story.

Train to Last Hope by Annie Bellet was interesting. I'm not familiar with the author.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I love Oberon's story!

Grave Gambles by R.R. Virdi was interesting. Reminds me of Quantum Leap, lol. I'd probably read that series.

Silverspell by Chloe Neill was good. I've read some of the Chicagoland Vampire series.

I heard she passed...I think last year. She had cancer. I love Toot-Toot and the Pizza Brigade!!!

I like Anne Bishop. I enjoyed the Others series. I'm on Train to Last Hope by Annie Bellet now.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Oberon's story was good!

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I really liked Troll Life by Kerrie Hughes. I've never heard of this author, either. I would read more of these books, but I believe this is a standalone and not connected to her books.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Return of the Mage by Charlaine Harris was confusing. I'm not sure if it's part of a series, but I felt I needed more information.

The Vampires Karamazov by Nancy Holder so far is my least favorite.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I liked the museum story.

And the last story...I love everything Asil! This was probably my favorite story in the book just because of him :)

I liked that one, too.

I agree with you on both accounts. I didn't like The Vampires Karamazov by Nancy Holder at all.

I agree. I love Asil!! It was nice to have a story where he finds someone. I enjoyed this book. What do you want to read next? is BOTM, , or something else?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I don't have a preference. Do you want to start with ? I've read the trilogy before and really liked it. I gave each book 4-5 stars, though it's been a few years so I don't remember any details :)

Let's start with . I have had it on my TBR list for a long time. We can use the thread that is already set up. When do you want to start? Do you want to read the whole series?

Let's start Wednesday or Thursday so I can finish the book I just started :) I'd read the whole series. I believe there are 3 books.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

How about Thursday? I have the first 2 on my shelf the last one is on hold.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Thursday is good. I got the first one from my library. I have the second one on hold so if I don't get it by the time we're ready for it I'll grab it from your library.
