It was hard to get into her complex world, but once in, I'm pulled and amazed by the intricate plots, characters, etc. From that admiration, I wanted to explore this new author, but I tell ya, it's not the easiest read to lose yourself into. I'm not giving her up though. Thanks again.

The story was good but as you say there was just something about the book I could not get into. I still have not read the other two books yet.

Finished Jacob yesterday, it was good. Gave it 3.5 stars. Some of the smexy scenes were HOT!
Now reading,
Reading Firewalker by Allyson James, and will probably move directly into Shadow Walker after that. This series is really good, and has hot sex, for an urban fantasy.
I am on the third file of my audible download of Ghost Story, the latest Harry Dresden. It is good, but very slow going. Unfortunately, Harry is a spirit and has limited capabilities of interacting with his surroundings. Which means a lot just takes place in his head. Lots of memories, we learn more about how he broke from Justin DeMourne, and how he feels about what he did to rescue his little girl.
But again, it's slow because of all that. I'm still working on it, however.

was a killer!!! I am reading
and I am enjoying it, but all is filler waiting for the next
to come out.Will have the next in Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series out in Sept. "Angel's Blade" is Dimitri's story. Nalilni Singh can't be beat, she establishes such believable worlds for her characters to live in. I can read her series again and again. Actually, I have : )
Over the weekend I finished
,
, and
, all amazing reads. I decided to take a break from Night Huntress, I want to savor this series and now I'm reading

And the good thing is my friend let me borrow all of the books! So no waiting at all! :)
I've just started
. I WANT to love it.....I SHOULD love it but for whatever reason I'm struggling to get into it. To paraphrase the end of all good relationships "It's not the book, it's me"
Nine Lives of Chloe King by: Liz BraswellI can't put it down!

I love the Sookie books! They are a lot of fun! :)
I'm currently reading Scandal in Spring by Lysa Kleypas and it's a very lovely, fun, light read. :)

Couldn't finish and didn't want to pay library late fees on
. I'm not giving up the series though, I'll reserve them again bc I still believe in Ms.Brook's talent. It was getting better too.Anywho, I'm reading
. I love my Dark Hunter fix, it's been too long.
OMG, totally forgot Retribution was out! Where he heck have I been? No really, I have no idea, where have I been?LOVE me some Dark Hunters.
Just a bit off topic. I am currently reading Immortal in Death by J D Robb. what bookshelf would you put that on????
Just finished
(Night Play, DH 5) today and yeah.. I had to cry. Will continue now with
(Seize the Night, DH 6)
I just started
. I'm not very impressed, but with only 30 pages read so far I'm hoping it will become more interesting as the story develops.
I'm almost done with
Maggie Stiefvater has outdone herself with this one. It's sad, and happy and infuriating. Best book I've read in quite a while.

I loved that series, stick with it, it may be a bit slow at first, but it's really good.:)

So I finished
and I'm reading
. I also stopped reading
, which is good, but I just needed to read
. I'm not really good a savoring.Quote:
"Mommy she's killing Chuck E." hilarious.
About:
The romance part was pretty awful. I liked the premise and the storyline overall but I hated the heroine and her relationship with her "boyfriend" was lukewarm at best.
I gave up on
. Sometimes Lilith's writing really bugs me with the repetition.Started
today, just to be ahead of the movie, since it has been on my night stand for a few months.

I agree! I'm a little prejudice with this series though because it's my first paranormal adult that I read and I have a soft spot for it! I love this series. The first book with Michael and Alex are not my fav. They get better!
Just got my hands on
and it's due sooner than Retribution. I can't believe I'm bumping my DH but I love my Elder Races too...win win for me.

I know and the kindred that's a kind of spin off from this series is fantastic. I really enjoyed them
I finished
which was a slow torture...I can't believe there is a sequel...will not be reading it!!Then I finished my re-read of

earlier this year but it really wasn't my kind of book...and ended up just being ok for me but it totally got me thinking about how I treat people....I hope you enjoy it:)
Crazy4more wrote: "Just got my hands on and it's due sooner than Retribution. I can't believe I'm bumping my DH but I love my Elder Races too...win win for me."I am reading
also. I bumped DH. This better be good. I will read
with you. I love the Elder races also. You know I have been trying to get into this new DH book. It was hard. I think I do need a partner.

BJS wrote: "Michelle wrote: Have you read the Kindred as well?? Loved them too, the next one comes out in December :)"
Replied to wrong post before...but, no I haven't started it yet. Can't wait to read them soon!
I just finished Scandal in Spring and now I'm reading It Happened One Autumn by Lysa Kleypas. I'm reading the series backwards. lol I have a silly question, how do you guys insert the image of the book in your text?
Just finished
and was so pissed at the end. I started to cry. I mean from the reviews I knew what to expect, but I didn't know how it would go down. I felt her pain. This is such a good series. Now I'm reading
