She seems to have a few series like that, where there are 3 or 4 books and that is it. I thought Gunnie Rose was going to stop at the 4th but she has gone on. Midnight Texas was a 3 book too. I think she gets to a pretty good wrap and ends it which really is kind of nice in a way.
I finally started a buddy series read of The Seven series. The first was a pretty good PNR that I thought was a bit different than many. Not all of the nuances are explained to the FMC and that kind of irked. Still I will have no problem reading on with the buddy read.

Me too, but I guess she probably got all wrapped up in the Southern Vampire series. If you look here: https://www.fantasticfiction.com/h/ch... , you can see that Grave Sight is written during the middle of the writing of the Sookie Stackhouse (a/k/a Southern Vampire) series. So probably she just went where the demand was. Too bad, though, although she did kind of leave the Grave Sight characters in a good place.

Will do. It’s quite funny, but also kinda sad…
Read the second in the Seven seriesSix Months, which had a TSTL main character so didn't go so well. Luckily its PNR and the couples change.

I read the second. It was good. Better, I thought. But, it was largely more of the same. There was a wider arc introduced, and a widening to the cast of characters, namely other crawlers. Allies, and foes. I do plan to read on. But, I’m a gamer, and RPGs are my thing so…
Just finished
, this series has stayed really great.

I read The Warbler
Very good
The Funtime ShowI’m only 25% in, and I’m thoroughly creeped out already…ventriloquist dummies…😳
(I keep thinking of Eve and the room full of dolls in Brotherhood In Death.)
Steph! I don't know if you've seen it (I might have been totally blind... it happens), but Green Dragon is coming out on April 28th!!! *happydance* 😃😃I'm not sure if I'll reread from the start as I've read the first 3 only last year, and I was waiting to start Green Vampire so I could get back into it... but... tempting 😆
I hadn't seen it, thanks! I'm really hoping it's better than #4 🤞🏼 I don't think I'll do a re-read; I'll likely look over my notes/highlights through the first 4 though.
Started a new to me genre….LitRPG. I know it’s been around for around 15 years but never read anything in this genre. Tried a series and could not get into it. On a blog’s comment from an author I love….someone suggested
and I must say I’m pleasantly surprised . I even had the first book in my kindle freebie since….2021. Better late than never I guess.
I’ve only read the first two, but I’ve bought them all. I’m at once very amused, and utterly disturbed reading them.
I’ve not read any either, but that blurb does sound interesting.
It is very clever and well done. Just…disturbing. I mean, I’m always telling Mr when I’m severing arms and decapitating Orcs that “it’s not real!”. But, it’s RPG that’s real, so…
👍🏼 I don’t mind disturbing. I’ve added that one to my KU list.
It’s quite funny. You’ll love Princess Donut. :)

I can see that as it seemed like a transitional book to me without much of the over arc getting solved and lots of new characters but I loved the building of her sister and her relationship.
I've read Reaper, Hunted, and Viper, trying to catch up to our buddy read Legion; but time for a break so next month. Gave the three 3, 5, and 4 stars in that order. Hunted was one of my favorite of the series.
Read Beauty and the Baller as a buddy/BOM read in another group. Don't usually love CR but gave this 4 1/2 CR stars and bumped up for humor and light drama.
Got back to Black Hat Bureau, Black Truth, White Lies and found that my memory took awhile to kick in and it was necessary. Ended up being slightly better than good but only 3 stars from me but probably was my own issues with putting it down for too long and not rereading. 3 1/2 stars as the characters were really good in the end.
Got back to Scarlet to finish the first trilogy, Hunter's Trail, didn't have the same issue with remembering the characters and how they fit. 4 Definitely want to go to the next trilogy of Scarlet now. I read the Boundary series though some books have come out there since I read them. It was a trilogy when I picked it up.
Just finished The Last Stand of Mary Good Crow, this is just not my genre though I ended up really liking it and gave it a 4. I probably won't read on though.
