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.

Amyiw | 233 comments Dragons Don't Eat Meat (Valkyrie Bestiary #1) by Kim McDougall reading
Three Half Goats Gruff (Valkyrie Bestiary #0.5) by Kim McDougall was a really fun short. Introduction to the characters.

finished
The Beekeeper's Apprentice (Mary Russell, #1) by Laurie R. King really really liked it but I have never read a Holmes book, only have watched the movies and series.

Read it last month. It was fun, but I am not sure I will continue . . . I think it may just be more of the same. If you continue, let me know if I should join.


message 62: by Zoi (new)

Zoi | 143 comments Will do. It’s quite funny, but also kinda sad…


message 63: by Amyiw (new)

Amyiw | 233 comments Read the second in the Seven series
Six 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…

Broken Loyalty (Jacky Leon, #3) by K.N. Banet , this series has stayed really great.

I just finished it, and I thought the first 40% was REALLY slow. I am planning on continuing despite not liking it much.

I read The Warbler The Warbler by Sarah Beth Durst Very good

Zoi | 143 comments The Funtime Show

I’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.)

Victoria (nemerith) | 1208 comments 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 😆


message 70: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32724 comments 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.

Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments 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 Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #1) by Matt Dinniman 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.


message 72: by Amy (new)

Amy | 20 comments I’ve only read the first two, but I’ve bought them all. I’m at once very amused, and utterly disturbed reading them.


message 73: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32724 comments I’ve not read any either, but that blurb does sound interesting.


message 74: by Amy (new)

Amy | 20 comments 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…


message 75: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32724 comments 👍🏼 I don’t mind disturbing. I’ve added that one to my KU list.


message 76: by Amy (new)

Amy | 20 comments 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.

I love cats so for sure I love Princess Donut! I’m on book 4 The Gate of the Feral Gods (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #4) by Matt Dinniman , I’m binge reading this series.

CassieCruel (faith_isola) | 108 comments I’m currently on Hunted (The Grey Gates, #3) by Vanessa Nelson

Amyiw | 233 comments It has been a few weeks but I really haven't read that much new because I've been rereading the Jacky Leon series. Amazon says the next is up for preorder release 26th. I think there are 2 more in Jacky that the author has planned. I'm hesitant to continue as I think wrap ups always have transition and plot hangs though she is quite good as not doing this other than smaller question overarcs. I read
new reads Secrets and Ruin (Jacky Leon, #9) by K.N. Banet Scarred Resolve (Jacky Leon, #10) by K.N. Banet decided to stop and went to rereads
Oath Sworn (Jacky Leon, #1) by K.N. Banet Family and Honor (Jacky Leon, #2) by K.N. Banet Broken Loyalty (Jacky Leon, #3) by K.N. Banet Echoed Defiance (Jacky Leon, #4) by K.N. Banet Shades of Hate (Jacky Leon, #5) by K.N. Banet Royal Pawn (Jacky Leon, #6) by K.N. Banet Rogue Alpha (Jacky Leon, #7) by K.N. Banet , and currently reading Bitter Discord (Jacky Leon, #8) by K.N. Banet
Before this I finished the first trilogy in the Magiford City world of K.M. Shea, reread the first and new #2 and 3
Magic Forged (Hall of Blood and Mercy #1) by K.M. Shea Magic Redeemed (Hall of Blood and Mercy, #2) by K.M. Shea Magic Unleashed (Hall of Blood and Mercy, #3) by K.M. Shea Really really like this and will try some of the other trilogies in the world.
and read
Who Owns This Sentence? A History of Copyrights and Wrongs by David Bellos , very interesting on history of copyright and businesses that have taken advantage of it.
Fire & Brimstone (Neighbor from Hell, #8) by R.L. Mathewson , sounds like a paranormal but is contemporary romance OTT funny. Not very believable but very fun.

So not much new 6 and 8 rereads and current on 9. I'll go to new ones that are planned after Bitter Discord reread.

CassieCruel (faith_isola) | 108 comments I’m going to continue on with some KM Shea

But had a mad few days so haven’t read anything


message 85: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25912 comments I loved the KM Shea books. I've binged read/reread them a couple of times.


message 86: by Amyiw (last edited Sep 24, 2025 10:30PM) (new)

Amyiw | 233 comments I went to
Hunted (Pack of Dawn and Destiny, #1) by K.M. Shea , which was really good though I liked the first Magiford better. I saw that I should have done the Crown books first but I'll finish this trilogy before going there.
I also read the first in Kaylina Sahni after finishing #9 in Jacky Leon. I thought that book was a good place to wait for a few more to be published.
Bounty (Kaliya Sahni, #1) by K.N. Banet Really liked it also but not as much a Jacky. Definitely will read on in both.
