So does nngghhh mean it's good or bad? I have that book on my TBR shelf.

It's the second. It's the only book of the series that was available on the shelf :p I'm not going to say that the story is awesome and engaging. BUT the ending was really good and intriguing that I'm looking forward to get the third :)
Angel wrote: "I'm reading the first book of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series - Dark Lover. So far so good..."Oh, BDB is a great series! It's very exciting and heartfelt. All of the book in the series are wonderful except, IMO, the 6th book.
I just finished Skinwalker for the challenge. It was ok. Good writing, main character not so sympathetic IMO. But her alter ego is great! Am starting Nalini Singh's
, my first.

Hm she sounds interesting. Thanks for the heads up!
Carolyn, nnnggggh is a no. That one was definitely one of the misses for me, but I haven't written her off completely.

[image error] is getting so much love from you guys. Methinks I must purchase (and that cover art is SO pretty).

I just finished reading Hero by Heidi Cullinan last night and it was soo good! It has mythology and shapeshifters and Neil-Gaiman-like worlds! WOW! Its m/m for any who need that bit of warning. :)
Just finished Seti's Heart by Kiernan Kelley. Reading a contemporary right now. My favorite paranormal romance series so far is the Raintree series. Didn't care for book one, but 2 and 3 were great.
I am currently reading Mona Lisa Craving written by Sunny. It is the 3rd in the series. It is a unique series I'll say that much.
I recently finished
. It started off good, but half way through it lost steam & I found myself struggling to finish it. Started reading
& hoping for a good book.
Just finished
and am writing off amateur writing style to first book syndrome? Engh, but plot was interesting enough that I'll try #2.
Just finished Anya Bast's Witch Blood (enjoyed her work, as always!) and I will be moving on to Nalini Singh's Angels' Blood. This will be my first read of her novels and I'm looking forward to it!
I like those books too, the older historical part really adds to it.
I am finishing up
. I don't think I am going to continue with this series. It is too young adult for me, I think. I am not seeing this whole relationship with Jace, and the big bad does really remind me of the Harry Potter storyline.
Guess this one is just not for me, but I am so close to the end, I just have to finish it.
I'm working my way slowly through
and an audio book of
. Liking both so far.
Aaaand it's a big 'No thanks, really, I couldn't eat another bite' for me with this book:
I made it to Pg 25 and man, I am the wrong demographic all over for this book. YA, why are you pushing me away like this?

I finished reading Inked for the February challenge, and it was a struggle to finish it. I didn't like any of the stories in it. I guess I just don't like UF. I much prefer PNR. I'm definitely not a fan of first person POV. 
Just finished
[image error]
(Which the cover reminds me so much of Amy Lee, and she even had an album called Fallen....) Starting
I finished An Enchanted Season and A Kiss of Fate: A Novel. Both of those were 3s to me. I'm reading Master of Ecstasy by Nina Bangs and I'm liking it. The humor reminds of Kresley Cole.
I am reading Dracula The Un-Dead by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. It's amazing, but read the original first!!!
You Are So Undead to Me still learning my way around the paranormal world, branching out from vampires, so my first zombie book, I am enjoying it, having some lOL moments
After finishing
, which I really liked, I'm now onto
my first book from this author. Really enjoying it. I'm once again jumping into the second (I think) book in a series, but this one is easy. Not a lot of backstory or arc going on. The last book I tried was so overwhelming with all of the various elements/creatures and backstory, I lost interest after 50 pages. Hate when that happens :/

Then I read two books by Sherilyn Kenyon. Very quick reads that were ok.
Now I just started Undead and Unwed Mary Janice Davidson. Funny, light but no real Romance to speak of yet and I am on page 125. So I am not sure. Looking for a really good one. I need some suggestions.
Jennifer wrote: "I just started Dark Desires After Dusk, the newest by Kresley Cole. She is just cranking out work right now.

JaimeRush - Just wanted you to know that you are starting with the third book in the Midnight series and there is a plotline that is continued throughout all the books. You are also missing the story of Lucan, who is the Breed warriors leader, and Dante, who is one of the hottest Breed warriors. :)
Finally finished
. Sorry for all of you out there that like it, I am taking a pass on anything further with this series.Returning back to Night Huntress with
. Bring on Bones!
Nicole wrote: "not seeing the relationship with jace huh? just wait until you do finish it. i didn't read the rest of the series either. it just didn't pull me in."Yup, I am definitely with you. I had caught a spoiler someplace about their relationship and hoped for more. Oh well. I think the only characters in there that I liked were Luke and Simon. They aren't enough to keep me reading, but they were the only ones that I cared about.
Also, do you think it was just lack of creativity that the main characters name is so close to the author's last name?
(wow - I am surprising myself with my dislike for this)
Finished
. I really liked the two characters this book of the series focuses on. Since Kade had a mission to go up to Alaska to look into a rogue problem, I thought the story overarching the series would not progress very much, but was pleasantly surprised. From the events that happen in this book, I am guessing Brock is featured in the next book.Now reading -

Hi :)
Yes I did enjoy it. I found it kind of hard to get into at first because it's confussing in the beginning and I just didn't have time to try. Around the midle of the book it starts to really improve and the never ending questions that are unanswered just makes you want to keep reading that much more. I can't say it's the best book I've read and I on't think that I would say it's a favourite, but it is definietly worth the read, and I am really looking forward to the second book, I really want some answers!
I hope that that helps and isn't too confusing, and I hope that if you do chose to read that you like it too.

See Carolyn! You should be fine!"
Well I did love the Cassie books Floozy. I'll read the other Karen Chance books soon - I could say this month, but that would be a lie. I'm so behind on my challenges.
