This series is great, I am on the 5th book right now and am sad to think I will have to wait for the next in the series to come out. Read them, you won't be sorry.










How did you know Changeless would have such a cliffhanger?

Cherra,
I hated this series. The guys are super hot. The story and IDEA are actually really great. But the Heroine and her buddy jus..."
Yeah, I am still debating about how I feel about this one. I am going to read book #2 because I like the guys so much.

Kiss of Midnight for FREE

Ick! Lover Enshrined was my least favorite book in the entire series. Phury pretty much got on my last nerve from day 1.

I finished Soul Song by M. Liu just a few days ago, and now I have to find that whole series as well!

Hi Patty, I hope you like Outlander, it was excelent and I loved it. I haven't read the other books you have listed but I do have them on my wish list.


It does NOT get better. I didn't think anything abt the 1st book was funny either. The whole thing was like one big generic southern routine.

I think i'm going to start on eitherOutlander or Demonkeepers next.

Hi Jesslynn,
If you start Outlander, beware - be patient with the first couple of chapters because they will seem kind of slow but after about the 4th chapter, I promise you won't be able to put it down. Once you finish Outlander, I promise you will want to rush into the second book of the series.


Hi Jacque, I agree about reading it now because I read it last year and I was glad I was able to buy all the books at once and didn't have to wait for them to come out. I haven't read An Echo in the bone yet.

You'll have to read it and tell me what you think! I am having a serious problem trying to find a new author to read. I read a lot and fast! I really loved Souless and Changeless, which are different than my usual. I don't like waaay to much explicit sex like Lora Leigh's type of book. I get bored with it ! LOL! I love strong female characters. I loved the BDB series and I loved the Arcane Society series so I am pretty easy to please! Any ideas?


OMG you will fall in love with all the books of vampire academy they are favorite vampire books... they are awesome and next month the next one is coming out... i can't wait for it...

ok Thanks! I was hoping it would get better with the next book. Those witches drove me nuts!! I wanted to kill em!!

I went to the author's website and found a short synopsis of each of the books. Be careful, though. They're a little bit spoilery (Is that a word?). I have no problem with spoilers, though. Just cliffhangers.
I see that you like Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle. Have you tried any of her old (and I do mean old) stand alone sci-fi romance stuff? I particularly liked Sweet Starfire. Crystal Flame is another one. I think they've been re-released in the last couple of years. If you like her style, you might like these.

I've read "Soulless" and loved it. It was my favorite read of 2010 so far. I have "Changeless," but I haven't started it yet. I have a few books to read for challenges this month, so I might not get to it until May. I both love/hate cliffhangers, so I don't mind if it ends in one and I have to wait a few months for the next one. I liked "Soulless" too much to put it off for much longer. :)

Hi Jacque, I looked at your read list and notice you liked paranormal, fantasy, and mystery reads. If you like a mixture of historical romance with fantasy and some paranormal, You should try Marion Zimmer Bradley's/Diana Paxton Avalon Series. The books in the series include:
1.The Fall of Atlantis
2.Ancestors of Avalon
3.Sword of Avalon
4.Ravens of Avalon
5.The Forest House
6.Lady of Avalon
7.Priestess of Avalon
8.The Mists of Avalon
You should read them in this order because of the time line period. Each story is different and in a different time period. The characters change in each book but they are all tied by their ancestors from Atlantis.
What I liked about these books was that MZB mixed the facts with fantasy so actually some of these characters actually existed for instance the strong female herion called Boudica - she was a bad ass warrior who led her tribe against the romans according to our history books.
If you don't want such a serious read, then try these paranormal/fantasy authors:
1. Lara Adrian - Midnight Breed Series (Vampires)
2. Alyssa Day - The Warriors of Poseidon Series (Atlantis Warriors from under the sea)
3. Gena Showalter - Lords of the Underworld Series (Fallen Angels who are cursed with demons from pandoras box)
4. Virginia Kantra - children of the sea series (Selkies)
5. Katie MacAlister - Dark Ones Novel Series (Vampires)
6. Kathryn Smith - Brotherhood of the Blood Series (Lilith's children who are vampires)
7. Kresley Cole - Immortals after Dark Series (Vampires, Fey, Demons, Were-wolfs, Nymphs, etc)
8. Nora Roberts - Circle Trilogy or the Sign of Seven Trilogy (Vampires, witches, sorceres)
9. Amanda Ashley - My Night Series (Vampire - very clean has no sex scenes in it)
10. Sherrilyn Kenyon - Dark Hunter Series
I haven't read any Sherrilyn Kenyon's stuff yet but everyone has been recommending her to me.
If you want pure fantasy, I would recommend
1.Terry Brooks - The Sword of Shannara
2.Robert Newcomb - The Fifth Sorceress
3.Greg Keyes - The Briar King
4.George R.R. Martin - A Game of Thrones
5.James Patterson - Angel Experiment
I haven't read George R.R. Martins works yet but they are highly recommended.
You can check out my Read list if you want or even my TBR list and Wish list, there are so many books I want to read but it all depends on my moods because I like to mix them up.
Besides paranormal and fantasy, I like mystery and christian reads too. I try to read a little of everything except for Scary Horror stuff.


Now reading



I just finished reading it last week. It's LOVE but I still much prefer the first book as it reminds me a lot of Dark Lover ;)




I liked Meridian, though I wished there was more to it.




I like YA, I haven't gotten to Hush hush yet, it's sitting in my book case along with the others I need to read.











It's ok but it's just not grabbing me like Halfway to the Grave or Dead Until Darkdid. I doubt I'll read the other spellcracker books.
