Started the Soul Screamer series on Monday and loving it, just starting My Soul to Keep - Rachel Vincent but should be done with it tomorrow. Wicked Lovely - Melissa Marr is next on my list though :)
Now I totally understand why people keep recommending this series ;)
Have been reading Midnight's Daughterfor the past few days and am liking the story but just don't understand why it is taking me so long to get thru...
I just finished Dead Girls Dance. I'm now starting Midnight Alley.. "The Morganville Vampires"
Using
as a breather book after finishing Succubus Dreams. I want to finish out the Georgina Kincaid series, but I need a couple days before I jump back on that emotional rollercoaster.This opening book for the Morganville Vampires series looks promising. Who has read the series? Thoughts? Things to look forward to?

I have a hard time getting through all Karen Chance books. Overall I enjoy the story but she packs so much into them I have to read slowly. Kind of wished she'd cut back on all the action. Just wears me out!
I have read all of them except the latest one. The series was great at the beginning, to me. I devoured them. But IMHO the last two have been bordering on a little too weird or maybe that's not the right word, perhaps blandly odd would be better. I got to the point that I was reading it just because when I start something I finish it. I have been hesitant to read the latest one for fear of further disappointment. Most of my friends that were reading the series stopped three books back. But I have it in my bag to take with me on vacation, so I will read it then.

"I was just saying on another thread, I think, that I always feel exhausted after reading a Karen Chance book. :-) But at the same time, they're great stories... great action, great relationships (LOVE Mircea and Pritkin)... even Dorina's books were kinda the same way, though Midnight's Daughter started out kinda slow for me. Louis-Cesare certainly made an impression on me, though... especially in the second book.
Just finished
which means I'm now 10/10 for my June Challenge yayyy lol...and now on to a PNR break with

yeah it's a good book.
I finished
last night and am still reading
. Then I plan on starting
.
The glass house is a good book.. There's action and a little romance.. The first book is mainly about introducing the world of vampires in Morganville. Claire is a smart girl.. That finds herself in a world she didn't know existed... Keep reading it's good..

Any smart person would leave town once they learned about the vampires, much less having them have a grudge against you, but she doesn't want to because her parents won't let her go away to college then? That is the most TSTL behavior ever.
I'm currently reading Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead the author of Vampire Academy. I expect this book to be incredible( i mean her work is Amazing!). I have read only 2 chapters and Im so into it already! So Im looking forward to fall in love with this book series as I had fallen in love with VA.
Am on a lil HR kick that started with
this morning a very fast and very fun read and am now onto

I'm not sure how far you read into the series, but one of the main plot points as it goes further along is that once you learn about the vampires, you are never allowed to leave the city again. So Claire is actually trapped there, and unless the head vampire allows her to leave, she can't.

I'm not really liking it all that much so far, but I hope that changes soon. :/

It's been awhile since I read the first book and I don't have a copy to check anymore, but I remember her having the possibility of leaving but resisting because she would have to go home and her parents wouldn't let her go to a out-of-state college then like she wanted.
Just started Dark Lover by J.R. Ward. Really looking forward to this series!

The following ones aren't as hard to get into. I don't know if it was the world-building or what, but it just took me a bit to get into the first one.
I just finished Demon's Kiss by Maggie Shayne
and Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick

What do you mean about Sin? He has Kat and they're having a baby. Please don't tell me the 'bitch-goddess' pulled a 'pity' me so Ash drop Sin like a rock?
Geez...book 13
is really bad. Practically skipped thru it. Book 14 is more relevant
...thank goodness.

I was extremely close to dropping this series for good, but thanks to your comment, I think I'll read the rest of Touch the Dark and decide on whether or not I want to continue the series after finishing it. :)
I just finished readingBurn by Linda Howard and am 2/3 of the way through Thai Die by Monica Ferris. Shelly Laurenston's The Mane Squeeze is up next.
Mod
Recently picked up Soulless by Gail Carriger.
i just finished fallen and am now reading hush hush
I finished
this morning and decided to take a Jacquelyn Frank break (though I really enjoyed Noah). I picked up
. So far (though I just started), it looks promising. Can't complain about a beautiful vampire who calls you lover when you're not, can you? :-)

Thanks! I think I'm going to take a one-book breather before I start in on Succubus Heat, but I will keep the tissues handy, and tell you what I think. Can't help but relate to those subborn characters. Not sure if that's a good thing. ;)
