I enjoyed it almost as much as i did Blood Magic (Wing Slayer Hunters, #1) by Jennifer Lyon I like all the characters kinda has that brotherhood feeling with the guys.I'm looking forward to the rest of the guys stories.

Darcy,
Let me know what you think of The Dark Storm. I've been thinking about purchasing it and was hoping to get an opinion first!

I ended giving up on that one as well. I got about 125 pages in and the story was very bogged down with setting things up and all the rules. It just felt like it was all info dump. I would read for 10 minutes put it down for 20, read 10 more, down for 20. It just couldn't keep my interest. Might be worth getting from the library to see if you like it, but I wouldn't spent money.

Thanks Darcy! I'll wait and see if I can find it used or from the library later down the road.

Aiken I really enjoyed the previous books.I'm also listening to Kindred in Death (In Death #29) by J.D. Robb and Missing in Death by J.D. Robb on Audio.

Patty if you liked the other Dragon books you will really like this one, although I do have to say I was crying in part of it. Gwendival (sp?) seems to really have met his match!!

I love the JD Robb books on audio, I think the narrator does a great job on them.

I've never read the J.D. Robb books, but keep reading so much good stuff about them that I've ordered the first 5 from PBS. Will probably start the first one later this week.


message 764: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Melodie I think you would like them. You like the cozy mysteries and you like things here and the In Death books are kind of a cross. Eve is a cop, but it is set in the future, no real books those are only for rich people, cash isn't really around, most people use credits, cars can go up as well as normal, no guns any more, they use stunners. I could go on and on.

You're making me want to re-read. lol. I didn't really like the newest book all that much. Maybe I'll go back to the first book :)

I'm not in the mood to read any of the books I have. I don't know why.


message 766: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Jess if you re-read them try them an audio, they are great that way, then you can get your knitting done too.

I liked the newest one, but the good thing about her writing is the speed, I think the next one is due out in October, not all that long away.


message 767: by Valorie (new)

Valorie I'm reading The Smoke Thief (Drakon, #1) by Shana Abé

oo you're devious. I never thought about that. Knitting and reading at the same time... :)

I just finished Tempted.. eh it was alright. I kind of just want to know what happens, I'm not really reading it for enjoyment lol.

Up next.. who knows.


message 769: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments @Jess ~ I did think Tempted was more of a filler book. But there was enough left hanging I am excited for Burned.

Patricia (catnaping) | 415 comments I finished What A Dragon Should Know (Dragon Kin, #3) by G.A. Aiken it was Funny,Sad and so good.I'm now reading Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, #1) by Faith Hunter

And Darcy I totally agree with you on the J.D Robb Audio books.I would rather listen to them then read them the Narrator is great.

message 774: by Christina (new)

Christina | 35 comments I finished Storm Front. It was good, looking forward to the next book. I also read Inked. I should have saved KC's story for last, I thought it was the best. :) Now I am onto Storm Born and looking forward to it :)

Jennifer (jnhart) | 97 comments Oh my goodness - it's good to be back! My computer's been in the shop for a whole week! Apparently my 2-yr-old has been feeding change into the cd tray. Altogether, there was about $3 in change! While I was gone I finished several books:

My kids would do something like that, it's stressful but funny at the same time when stuff like that happens. but glad you are back, and it's amazing how much you can do when you get off the computer huh. I amaze myself constantly on what I get done how much I get read when i pull myself away from the computer. Dangerous things these machines are I swear lol.

I hate to laugh, but really that's funny. 3.00??? Who knew that would fit.

@Darcy- I've also been straying a bit from the genre, but nothing makes my day better than a nice book from pnr or uf. sigh.


message 779: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. I finished The Protector and liked this book. I'm now reading My Immortal.

Valorie ~ Let me know what you think of Sunshine, I tried it but couldn't get far into it. It was a group read in a different group and it seemed that book was very polarized.

Yeah I've just started it. I'm only a chapter into it but it's not looking good. I'll try and get a few more chapters in and see.

OOOH vampire kisses I loved that series, the books are really short but the series is cute waiting for the next on to come out.

I'm going to be reading stray here in a while it's in my list of books to read.


message 784: by Valorie (new)

Valorie Ok I've put aside Sunshine by Robin McKinley because so far it's kinda slow and I just got [image error] from the library!! I'm excited to start it! It sounds hilarious!

Any suggestions for which one I should read first?


message 788: by Jess (last edited Mar 19, 2010 09:35AM) (new)

Jess | 3721 comments @Dawn - I would go with Bitter night!!

I've read Three Days to dead, that was good. I disliked Urban Shaman, and Magic to the bone I'm not sure if I read yet. Maybe I read Magic to the blood.


message 789: by Melodie (new)

Melodie (melodieco) I'm just a couple of chapters into Shadow Souls (The Vampire Diaries The Return, #2) by L.J. Smith and REALLY hoping it's better than Nightfall (The Vampire Diaries The Return, #1) by L.J. Smith !

It is aimed to the younger audience, but I still found it entertaining in an innocent way. It kept my attention and that's all that matters to me. I am young at heart and sometimes wonder if not mentally as well. :)

ooooohh! I am jealous that you are starting this series. It is one of my favorites and I am sad there is only one more book for me in this series :-( But lucky you...there are 8 more after this one! I hope you like it!

IMHO, what's missing in these books is the total absence of any sexual tension between the 2 main characters.
