What are you reading right now?
I can't force myself to finish something that sucks when I know I have better books waiting for me!
Passion Unleashed by Larrisa Ione. This is a great series.
I just finished
and I loved it! I don't know what to read next, but it was really really good :)

Adult.
No detailed sex scenes since it's UF but there is sex.
Starting
. I've heard so much about this series, I'm finally checking it out for myself.

I've been putting this series off for a while, because quite frankly I'm intimidated by how many books are in the series so far. But it was recommended as a buddy read for this month, so I finally will get to meet the infamous Rourke that I keep hearing so much about.
Just started
. Is this series like another, just for reference?
I just recently finished

.I'm going to continue to finish most of the series of the books I've just listed and
. I'm not sure what else...I just got the audiobook for Rapture In Death, but I'm not sure I'm liking it. I think I would rather read it because I'm not a fan of one voice per book (a woman doing a man's voice and vice versa). I could barely stand it with Gabaldon's Outlander series.
Denise wrote: "Just started . Is this series like another, just for reference?"I think only in the vaguest sense: the h in this series is in law enforcement (a cop) but has summoning abilities, and has an older (caretaker) aunt who also summons, and a demon that's been summoned by others that h is *positive* she doesn't want let loose on the world.
therefore, vaguely similar to
Dead Witch Walking -- Rachel works law enforcement, her mom's a witch too, and Big Al isn't exactly trying to stop graffiti.
[ETA:] I think you'll like the story though; h thinks of herself as a plain jane that happens to be a cop & summoner.... :)

Well, I have liked the Rachel Morgan series so I will hopefully like this one too. Thanks.
Denise wrote: "Just started . Is this series like another, just for reference?"I'd agree with Deana's assessment. That was actually a pretty good comparison, that I never could have come up with. I just wanted to chime in and say that I really like this series. There is a vein of romance, but not much, and it's a great series if you like mysteries and police procedurals.
About half way through
and I'm happy to say I'm really enjoying it! I have a few small grievances, but still a recommendable read.Nearly done with
and man, I'm kinda glad it's almost over. It could've been a really fun/spunky, but it's a bit more on the depressing/lame side... :( I wish there would've been a tish bit more dating and a tish bit less rejecting one another.

Oh good to know about Jessica's Guide... It's on my TBR list and I will definitely not be reading it anytime soon. I was expecting a fun, quirky read!

Jenne wrote: "So has anyone read 
? I'm 50 pages into it and I suspect that I'm not going to like it."Hi Jenn and PA, I've read Angelology last year and it definitely is a different style of book to our favourites we love here. It is what I call a "literary book" definitely well written but a lot more detailed and labourious in its style and language. The world building is also based on a religious theme. I actually liked it but had to concentrate on it a lot more that my usual reads. It is the first in a trilogy of books the next one out I think sometme next year.
I'm always a bit wary when I have really enjoyed a series and then there is an off-shoot series. One I have really enjoyed is the Mercy Thompson/Alpha & Omega series'. I have loved Cat & Bones but have been really apprehensive about picking up
(I've had it out from the library 3 TIMES without reading it), but I have now started it and am liking it so far (only just started though). Any other series like these two?
I liked the Night Huntress world spin off novels but they're not as good as the original Cat and Bones...

Christine wrote: "Starting . I've heard so much about this series, I'm finally checking it out for myself."I loved that book!!
I finished
but I really didn't like it...I'm glad that I got the ebook free from a friend and didn't spend any money on it.Now I'm taking a break from the paranormal and am reading

Rachel wrote: "Alisa wrote: "I just recently finished , Oh, what did you think of Angelfall?"
I really liked it. It was a nice refreshing & different take on angels. Usually angel books are more UF these days, but this one is set in a dystopian world. It's more gritty and the heroine is a good strong character. It's a very short book. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series when it comes out. I would recommend it.
On the author's site, you can read the first 5 chapters there for free: http://susanee.com/angels/angelfall-f...
With all that said, I'm one of the types who usually likes most of the books I read lol. I rarely find a book I don't like. I've read boring books, yes, but not too many books where I wouldn't recommend them. After all, we all have our own preferences...
LibraryLass wrote: "I'm always a bit wary when I have really enjoyed a series and then there is an off-shoot series. One I have really enjoyed is the Mercy Thompson/Alpha & Omega series'. I have loved Cat & Bones but..."are you looking for a series and its spin-off?
Jacquelyn Frank has the Nightwalkers, and the spin-off is the Shadowdwellers series.
Gena showalter's Lords of the Underworld has a spin-off coming soon-the Angels of the Dark Wicked Nights

It really was refreshing! I actually found it a couple of weeks ago on someone's review list on Amazon and it seemed interesting so I bought it. I was blown away! I couldn't believe how much I loved it. Honestly, I haven't read a book that gripped me like that in a really, really long time. I actually can't stop thinking about it.
By the way, thank you so much for posting the link/details. I should've mentioned that I had read it already! Sorry! :D
Currently reading Shiver.. I'm liking it though I'm still waiting for the moment where I'll be loving it. Well, I just started so hope it'll get better as I go through every chapters. :)

I have loved Cat & Bones but..."I really liked the spin offs too. It gave the secondary characters more depth. She would not have been able to slide there stories in without taking the focus off of cat and bones. I was happy it was a spin off and separate. They are not as good as NH, but I dont think they were intended to be. You cant have secondary stories out-shine the main story, now can you. LOL
Shiver is awesome .... it does take a bit to get wrapped up in it though
I'm rereading Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series...and I have to say they only get better. Can't wait for Lothaire in Jan.
Nicole Marie wrote: "Shiver is awesome .... it does take a bit to get wrapped up in it though"Yeah it's actually good. The alternate narrators make it a little bit confusing but I can handle that. :)
i'm reading Dearly, Departedit's a really remarkable book, i'm liking it and hoping the sequels are good.
Just finished
and I've got to say...I was pleasantly surprised. A strong PnR with characters I'm invested in. Can't wait for Shade's story especially since he was caught cheating in a twosome...that's gonna be interesting :) Next up
...I'm gonna give this series one more try.
I've just read the first few lines of

and loving it.

I tried it once and didn't read past the 3rd chapter but I think I was preoccupied with other things.
Christine wrote: "Starting .

Roarke's Irish accent needs to be experienced. I hope you'll like it too.
I've just started this night huntress series. Currently on the first book:
I heard that this series is awesome, hmm, gotta read it myself:>

I have the first two but I will eventually get back into it once I finish The Night Huntress series. I'm not like you & the others, I can't read more then one book at a time & only read before going to sleep so I read at the pace of a snail lol
