Archangel's Blade. Without a doubt!


I can't even think what to read next as I'm digesting the aftermath. Maybe I can get something done like grocery shopping, chores and take care of the necessities.


What kinds of books have your read and loved? there are just too many but I'd suggest Night Huntress, Black Dagger Brotherhood, Guild Hunter, Fever...just to name a few without knowing what's your interest.


I have got the Diane Sylvan books on my TBR, Crazy4more. The second book really caused a bit of a stir over on the Amazon boards, some hated it, some loved it like you. I think I will move it up the pile soon so I can make my own mind up.
Also have the latest Cat and Bones to get to...too many books, too little time...

THX i´ve been hearing good things of the Night Huntress series, i think i´ll look in to that...

I can see why people hated it. People attached, loved and wanted things to workout for our happy couple. I thought David's turmoil was real, beautifully and achingly written. It made sense to me that been 350 YO, he's gotta have relationships and skeletons hidden. Not that I approved but I can see it'd happened and to be touched by it was all due to the talented writting.

Loved eternal rider cant wait for the next one:)





Hmmmm?


Now I'm starting Queen of Shadows.



Now I'm starting Queen of Shadows.

I'm just reading my first Nalini Singh right now



Now I'm starting Queen of Shadows.

I loved Guild Hunter and can't wait to hear what you think of Shadow World series. It's great making friends thru popular books, it's greater finding friends thru controversial ones...it's fine-tuning similar interests...or is it just me? lol.




I read the first couple of pages of several different books trying to find something that could hold my interest after Archangel's Blade and Queen of Shadows was the one that grabbed me and had be keep on reading. I've heard that folks either loved or hated the second book, so I'm really curious to see what happens.....
I've a friend at work who reads the same type of books and we lend books back and forth. Even though we have the same basic tastes, it always interests me that sometimes we'll read the same thing and take two different things away from it. I guess that's shows the talent of a good writer: people can find things in the work that speaks to them in different ways depending upon their own life experiences. Of course, sometimes my friend is just wrong for not agreeing with me. ; D


Couldn't agree with that statement more. Sometimes I wonder when reading a book, if I were to read it again when things in my life are going different, will I have the same view of the book.


I agree with your statement. I just recently reread

Too true. I've also learned not to always judge a series by the first book. It seems like writing a really good first book in a series is really hard. Plus, sometimes the story or writing style is so different from what I read right before that I'm just not sure what to make of it, and it takes the second book to convince me that it really was as good as I thought.

I agree with your statement. I just recently reread

You are so right, usually the second or third in a series is better. I think sometimes there's so much world building you have to do in the first as well that it's hard to get everything you want into that first book. You want the story to be about something specific, but you have to build it up or readers won't know what's going on.

It always takes me a few chapters to get used to an authors writing. My aunt I think re-reads the first two chapters once she's started, I think that is probably a good idea. That way it is easier to remember the new characters, and once you are in the authors flow, it is easier to understand the first couple chapters the second time around.

1) Bloodshot
2) Hellbent
This is a Urban Fantasy series. Whip-smart writing, excellent character development - it hits the ground running, and it's one fun ride!
I just started on Bound by Blood - P.A. Lupton. Paranormal Suspense.
I'm on chapter 3 and can already feel the intensity building. I'm really liking the female lead - Brianna Reece. She is smart, strong, with a sprinkle of snark. I can tell this is going to be gooood. :)

I love that series. I just finished The Vampire and the Virgin. I hated the cover but the book was really good. It is light PNR and I love the stories.I cannot wait to read Eat, Love and Prey.

Highlanders,Highlanders,Highlanders...The best series is by Moning. Come on Girl. Adam had you drooling ;)


I am still afraid to read. So many mixed reviews. I love this series that I want it to be good.

@Christine - I have actually read Archangel's Consort before and loved it. I was re-reading the series to refresh my memory before I read Archangel's Blade. The first two books also covered some of the options in one of my book challenges for September. I called that killing two birds with one stone. I can't wait to read the newest book.

OMG!!! This is my favourite of her series, the last book comes out in Jan next yr, I can't wait but it wqill be long as it was intended to be two books but due to new baby, Richelle just made it as one & finished just before the baby came

I loved Eat Love and Prey. It really brings Shanna's family into the story. I think though my favorite will always be Ian's story. I LOVED that he spent 500 years looking like a young kid and then grew up and didn't know how handsome he was. And when he said he wanted to find true love--that was so sweet. I've never seen a PNR that had a vampire age on purpose, it was original.

YES, Highlander by KMM is definitely a must read. I remembered how fast I flew thru those books and wished there were more to read. Thanks for the reminder Pansy!

I'm half-way done and it has its conflicts and issues but no where near the craziness they used to have. Even they themselves agreeing this is their time to enjoy and get a little breather...not too good for us readers but I don't hate it.

I agree it's not as intense but still enjoyable. Jeaniene's characters alone are worth the read...I love Tyler and so do many other people. I hope he gets his own book eventually. If you like the Night Huntress books you'll want to read just to be introduced to Tyler.
