I loved this book. The science and wine talk drove me nuts too but the characters were so good I could over look it. I ended up giving it 5 stars.

I'm going to have to give this one a try. Usually, when everyone raves about a book, that's when I don't like it. Since this one gets such mixed reviews, and I actually love science, it may just be a winner for me.

Bookwyrm Just a couple chapters in with Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost . This is my first by Jeaniene Frost.
I tend to prefer Urban Fantasy. I've just never been able to get into most Paranormal Romance. The romance aspect usually comes across a bit forced and I don't care for switching to whole new couples through the series. But this series follows the same couple and I've heard very good things. So far so good.

Just started Once Bitten (Haven #1) by Kalayna Price because I love the Alex Craft series.

DO you like the book? I didn't think it was racy enough.

It does seems that she has trouble formulating new plots.

Glad to hear!

Like I said, I'm a bit picky when it comes to PNR but I do like to keep giving them a try and hoping I stumble upon some good ones for my tastes. I DO completely get why others love them so. I'm just quirky lol.

I personally really liked this book and am anxiously awaiting the book 2 due to come out in July. It is a bit slow for the first part of the book but I liked the all of the background and history and character development and scenic layering, felt it gave it depth and richness. It's a pretty lengthy book but I enjoyed it and it's become a well loved book of mine.


message 20175: by Belkis (new)

Belkis (bminaya) | 861 comments I just finished Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth , totally LOVED it! Really good read, can't wait for the next book in this trilogy to come out. Thank goodness it's coming out next month! Now moving on to Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer and Fierce Dawn by Amber Scott .

I love Kenyon's Darkhunter series(early years). Keep reading. I kind of stoppped reading her DH books after Retribution. Acheron's book is very good. It is Kenyon at her very best.

Once Bitten is really good and the next one is even better. I to love Alex Craft that's the reason I tried her Haven series.


Finished The Abandoned (Graveyard Queen #0.5) by Amanda Stevens and City of Ghosts (Downside Ghosts, #3) by Stacia Kane now reading Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3) by Darynda Jones

How'd you end up liking City of Ghosts (Downside Ghosts, #3) by Stacia Kane ? I adored the payoff in the end after all the angst. Love Terrible :) Just an awesome series!

Katya - If you liked Dimitri, then try Archangel's blood. To me that was the best of the series so far. He's a vamp, not an angel or a demon. Bet you'll like it.

I like the Fallen Angels series. You also get a little bit of crossover on the characters as well. BDB is way better though.

Sillylittlefishey | 1025 comments I've intended to read the Fallen Angel series, but haven't gotten around to it yet...I hear Lassiter will have his own fallen angel book (if it's not out already?) and I love him!

message 20192: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Carney Wrapped up Heart of Darkness (Includes Lords of the Underworld, #4.5) by Gena Showalter . I liked Gena Showalter's "The Darkest Angel" the best! Now working on Zack (Armed and Dangerous, #1) by Cheyenne McCray . So far it's pretty good. I didn't realize it wasn't a paranormal. For some reason thought it was! Still good though...
