I hope you had a better experience with Queene of Light than I did.
Hmm, I was going to start that one later this week. Was it that bad?
No, I wouldn't say bad. Three to three and a half stars for me. It was good enough I read Child of Darkness. That one was not so good. I can read a book in 3 hours and that one took me 3 weeks. Here is my review for both if you are interested:Queene of Light:

Putting my reviews there also helps site traffic.

Ah, ok. Makes sense. I'm more likely to read your reviews if you post them on here though, and I'd vote for them too! But if having them only on your site drives traffic and makes you money, then I can see why you'd do that!
I may post a few here. Especially if someone asks me. I just forget. :)
Okay Shannon. Posted some reviews for ya!:)

★ ★ ★☆☆ (3,5 actually) (full review)Soulless was a fresh and entertaining book. I did have an issue with miss Carriger trying to be funny all the time in the beginning, didn’t appreciate the ending and found the book simply didn’t hook me. That’s why the meager rating: 3,5 stars.

It just didn't grab me. I'm not really sure what the problem was, maybe the dominance thing with the queen/male servant part. It was one of those books that was just okay and I was glad it was over if you know what I mean. I have the second book in the series but I'm in no rush to read it. I think my 3 star rating was kind of generous. I've read worse but I've read a whole lot better.

Yay. Congrats on finishing Ahrcadia. I hope you were satisfied with all you read. If you haven't tried the Dory series by Karen Chance, you should give it a shot.
I've been trying to find it, but all the local bookstores are sold out, and don't even get me started on my library :(((
I am changing my resolution: After going back and forth between vampire series's I have decided to finish one series in a genre before starting into another. So I am going to resolve to read the immortal series instead of the dark series.
