Keep on in that series and you will find more of the same. You can also check out that author's alter ego,
G.A. Aiken, they are in the same vein.


I'm still reading it, not as good as Daughter of Smoke & Bone, but I'm liking it so far. Alice is a normal teenage girl, that suddenly sees her entire world upside down... the way that life continues normal, problems, school, and when bizarre things occur and she tries to get some rational explanation and at same time starts questioning her mental health sounds very... real...

I've heard lots of mixed reviews, but I love the cover

I wasn't that into it because the only book from Gena Showalter I've tried was Playing with Fire and the heroine was so annoying that I gave up after 4 ou 5 chapters - I just couldn't stand her. But so far, Alice isn't that bad... ok, so it has boy drama, high school drama, and a potential love triangle like almost all YA books - seriously, what's the appeal? - and some stalkierish behavior paired with the "you're too pretty and weak to know what is best for you so shut up and do as I say" speech - again, what's the appeal? - But the action isn't like now life is normal...splash... now is not, on the contrary, she's evolving gradually, we don't have a "supernatural exists so deal with it" information dump, and I think is that particularity that is captivating me. But, I only read 1/3 of the book, so I can't say that much...

I just finished a reread of

Now I'm starting



omg! I loved this series!!! I laughed and giggled through the whole thing.

I so didn't know that thanks for the recommendation!


Thanks Darcy, I will totally go and get the other books in the Pride series.
Until then I will finish reading the Shifters series by Rachael Vincent.


@Gin - I liked more than I'd expected, but is a typical YA setting - school, boys, parents who allow theirs children fight with monsters and a satisfactorial plot - I didn't suspect who the bad guy was, but maybe I'm losing qualities :o)
I thibk I'll continue the series - after all I thought it was better than House of Night and Dark Elite series, I'd say at the same level of the Mortal Instruments series IMO

Glad you like it. It sounds like it might be a little too YA for, but I think I'll still get to it at some point.




Have you finished yet? :o)
How is it?
I know I should finish the ones I'm currently reading now, but I don't know if I can wait :D


More emotional? Oh dear.. if I had to choose one single word about the first one it would be heartbreaking - yeah, I know, I'm too old for that kind of girlish attitude, but I don't care - Now I'm even more impatient to read it. Thankfully, Seraphina is catching my interest right now, so I'll be entertained while waiting :o)

How is


I decided to give it a chance after reading the short-story The Audition - we can have "a first feel" of the characters and a sample of the writing, although in a younger/lighter tone

I'll give The Audition a try. I need some dragon books for a challenge anyway.

:o)
It is a light read - Seraphina is a tad more complex tale, but The Audition is a good introduction to Seraphina's world.




I am glad you liked it!


What is Parasite Publications?


Sorry


I finished up

Now I'm moving on to






as in the stack of books to read. I'm not sure how the spring clean up works but that was two of my list. I'm now reading another off the list.








I love the Iron Druid series it is my favorite books I have read this year and the October Daye series is right up there too. Can't believe I came that to the party on these amazing books.




All of them were quite good. I think Jabril really threw me I totally thought it was going to be a love triangle but I loved how things worked out :-)
Now reading







I have had Cast in Shadow on my tbr pile forever I need to get to it lol!
