What are you reading right now?
Finished
and loved it. I was savoring every word. It's fast, sexy, sweet and the plot doesn't make you wait due to misunderstand, shyness, timing or doubt. I loved it!Next and finally,
...but I'm kinda stalling bc I'm still enjoying the Dragon Bound afterglow, sigh... I know it's an awesome series, I'll get to it soon.

I've been itching for something that comes close to the BDBs for a while... really happy I have this series! :) Now if only I can find something that comes close to the night huntress series... Cat and Bones are a hard couple to beat.
Julie, have you read Lords of the Underworld and Immortals After Dark?

I pre-ordered

I love this series! So much happened in
. Usually author stretch out the plot but not this one. This book was packed with actions, events, great-yummy-smart-funny characters. Can't wait for future reads.
Finished

It does get better. Most series are like that. Kane's book is really good. I think Rio is my favorite though, at least until Chase's book comes out.

Yes, you know my taste. You have recommended several and I have loved every one of them. I trust you guys. I start
tomorrow. WooHoo!!
Just finished
and now I will start to read
.
Lindsay, you're reading one of my fave series. I love Bowen & Mari!
Becky Cullen-Salvatore-Northman-Russell-Lord wrote: "Julie, have you read Lords of the Underworld and Immortals After Dark?"yes, I've read both of the series. Loved both of them too! :)
I just finished
and its my favorite so far. I loved Cade! He reminds me of Bones. Started on
Nicole R. wrote: "I just finished and its my favorite so far. I loved Cade! He reminds me of Bones. Started on"A lot of goodreads members have been suggesting this series. Is it really that good, coz I think I wanna read it at the same time Im a bit overwhelmed of my to-read list...
Yeah, it's really good. It's got sooo many different mythical creatures, which helps to keep me interested. And I love how she has a lot of returning characters (Nix!). SPICY romance, lots of action, and I've literally LOL'd quite a few times. I also like how her heroines don't all start off as kick-A**. Each character is unique.

She just announced that Denal and Jack will be getting their own books. So excited can't wait for Alaric and Quinn's book!!!
Melissa wrote: "Mrs.dixon wrote: "I just can't believe people are sleeping on the Warriors of Poseidon series OMG please try it, it is by Aylssa Day and it has become my favorite series, please let me know what yo..."Oh, I have that on my nook! I hadn't heard much about it, but I may have to try it out now. (After I finish the three other series I'm reading! lol)
Just finished reading
and totally loved it. I had assumed that there were already a few books in the series and was looking forward to reading them all. Unfortunately, though it is the start of the series, it's fairly new and the next one won't be out till - gulp - January!
Lots of great books listed here! Kate Daniels series is one of my favorites and I LOVE Curran "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!" It does take a few books for him to really get under your skin but once he's there, no scratching is going to get him out! Do I love him more than Jericho? It's a tight race! But since I read about Curran most recently, I guess it's a matter of "what have you done for me lately" that lets Curran edge out Jericho in my book :)I also love the midnight breed series. I haven't heard of the elder races - thanks for the recommendation.
I just finished the Deadtown series books 1 and 2
I started Cat and Bones this morning beginning with the novella in the Unbound Anthology:

Kate Daniels. Yum! lol. It is similar to the Fever series in that things don't steam up till later, and he is not a huge character in the first 2 books. The first book is a lot of world building but a good detailed read. Book #3 was amazing! From what you ladies are saying, I can't wait to finally get a chance to read Magic Slays(#5) tonight!
Currently working on
. Haven't gotten much time to read lately

Crazy4more wrote: "I love this series! So much happened in . Usually author stretch out the plot but not this one. This book was packed with actions, events, great-yummy-smart-funny..."I agree Crazy4more, it was action packed and as soon as something got resolved, something else was popping up. I was never board and didn't find myself rushing through the boring parts because there weren't any. I really enjoyed the dialog and the way the characters interacted with one another. It made me laugh at times but still was a tender, romantic story.
I finished
and it was just OK. There wasn't too much going on.
is next.
The Help is an excellent book! Enjoy!
I have finally got my hands on
So my other three books
which I am trying to get through have been put back on the shelf for now. Because I know when I start a book by Ellen C. Maze I get dragged into her world and can't leave until I turn that last page.

Just started reading Alien Tango by Gini Koch
I finished
earlier this week and am now onto the 2nd in the series
Just finished
If you haven't read this series you certainly should my word cannot give it justice. Now starting
I really like this post apocalyptic series, I almost wish I had waited until she had several books out. I hate having to wait 6~12 mos for the next book.
Jessie wrote: "Well I sat on my butt Sunday and (asisde from a couple small breaks to eat and such) read "All Together Dead" in one sitting. I woke up and made some coffee and decided to start it while I enjoyed..."I know right!!! I wish she would make this a series. Loved it!!!

He did. I still love Barrons. But Curran is my guy. Forever and always. lol :)

"I love this series. I found it light and humorous with good action and great character development.
Just finished the second book in the Cal Leandros series and started the third:
Also almost finished with the Fall (part 2 of the Strain) by Guillermo del Toro
Dragging out
because I don't want it to end, but I think I am finishing it tonight. I have been only reading it occasionally but have to fight to put it down, so I am giving in.Also working on this week:

In Must Love Hellhounds Anth she has a short story about how Andrea and Raphael get together. In the Hexed anthology there is a short story about Dali and Jim. There's also a short in Dark and Stormy Knights about how Kate met Saimen but it's not as good as the other two.

I have tried to get into
but there is something about it that I just don't like. I have even tried listening to the audio. :(
Yeah she has a very different writing style. I thought for YA the first 2 were really good and had a lot of emotion to it. The last book just fell flat, could have a lot more to it I guess. But I liked the characters in it. It is very a different wolf though!
just finished
it was ok, and I like Micah more but i'm kinda starting to not like Nathaniel.Now I'm going to be reading
Currently reading
. This book contains stories from 20 different authors. I don't think any of them are more than 40 pages, so feels like I am reading a sampler of different urban fantasy authors.

"I have to agree. Nathaniel is my least favorite. Anita seems more manly than him.
I'm currently reading

,
, or
. I haven't decided yet which of the three I want to read first. I'll probably finish Silver Borne today, so I better make up my mind quick!

I was one of those who caught on and loved it due to the unique vampire origin, but you're right, it gets better and better. Glad you're having a great time reading them.
