The vampire stared at me, his mouth slack as Ghastek assessed his options. I took a couple of forms from my desk, put them into the vamp’s mouth, and pulled them up by their edges.
“What are you doing?” Ghastek asked.
“My hole puncher broke.”

Like you said it just seemed to soft for kick-ass Kate, but there were some scenes where I realized it actually worked really well. Although, I still think Curran's voice should be a little stronger, maybe faster, than how she does it. But I loved her Derek.
As for Mercy, too much of a hard-ass? Really? Why do you feel that? I actually really like Mercy because as tough as she is, she doesn't let stupid pride get in the way of doing the right thing. Some of these kick-ass heroine's are so stubborn and so prideful and insist that they must do everything themselves and will bite a guys head off before accepting some help. But Mercy usually seems to recognize when she needed some extra muscle, and is willing to back down if it's necessary to diffuse a situation. Like if the wolves are about to lose it, she backs down or even acts submissive if it's necessary to help them regain control, and it doesn't bother her because she knows in the end she's going to to what she wants anyway.
Kate and Mercy are my two favorite UF kick-ass chicks!

It involves Curran getting "revenge" for something Kate did to his weights.

Masters of the Shadowlands? Yeah, the first book was good but only a 3 star for me. They are definatley getting better the further I get into the series.
I am reading The Vampire Next Door
by Ashlyn Chase

The first time I read book 1 it only got a 3 star from me. But then when I reread it after I finished the series I upgraded. I think it's because I felt like I knew all the other character then. I think the series really gets good at book 3 and they get better and better after.
this afternoon I am starting
I am so excited about her first Paranormal book in so long. My favorite author. I feel like there should be a parade or something.

Thanks, I always seem to stumble over it all of the time. I was curious about it.
Jenne wrote: "Magda, how did you like ?"It was just meh for me. The storyline was promising but was completely scattered. Plus, I think the main character has ADD.
I know what you mean. I hate it when a book has a good idea/plot but the author just can't quite get it together and make it flow right.
Christine wrote: "Magda wrote: "I love how you ignored all my other criticisms & focused on just the sex scenes. If you can't accept input from others, don't ask for it."On Riley Jensen, Magda also commented that ..."
Wow. You hit it on the head with the Riley series. I stopped after book 3. The sex scenes were "Meh", and Riley's character was annoying as hell. Too much unnecessary sex gets boring. I started to skim.

I could see that. The characters are easy to fall in love with. I love when they are including in the next book.
Just finished
and it was a lot to take in. If you want a raw, intense,gritty love story this book will do the trick. It is not a sweet love story. You think it is but it takes you on a wild ride. It does not hold back. Very emotional but I could not put it down. Debating what to read next.
reading
and
if I would actually pick it up and read it lol.

So I finished
and that was a great book! Not a Paranormal at all but every now and then I need a good mystery/thiller. And now I am reading
and I am having a hard time keeping up with it...so many families but I am sticking to it cuz my new friends say so that it gets better!
I'm starting
. Just finished the previous one.

and
, which I'm finishing up tonight.

and
compare to
. They are on my tbr list, but right not I'm in the mood for UF. So, it may be awhile before I read them. I get in moods and can only read certain genres at times :)
I just started two new seriesChicagoland Vampires & Mercedes Thompson series
I am totally hooked on the Chicagoland series so far & I'm only on book 1

awhile back and must not have been in the mood for and put it down. A few months later I picked it up again and it clicked and I read all the books that were out at that time. I get in moods that change the way I feel about a book. I'll sometimes read the first few chapters of several books before I find the one I'm in the mood for. Thank goodness for the ability to sample books on Amazon before buying them for my Kindle :)
Franny, I really disliked Thoughtless. I read it in one day, liked the writing style but I detested the main character but 50 Shades was really good. :) Hope you like it more than I did.
As to the Hollows series, I really enjoyed Book 1 but wasn't able to get into book 2. Need to pick it up again.

Loved it went back got the first two and since then haven't looked back.
I really think that the mood your in make a total difference when it comes to reading a book. I have read things that the first time I read it I thought they were okay but when I went back to reread I loved them.
With the Hallows I think that the furthur you get in the better it gets, that's not to say that they are great. I have definitly liked some more than others. I think my favorite at the moment was the last one I read which was Pale Demon. I can't wait for the new one to come out in paperback.
Hopefully you'll give then another chance.
I just started reading the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. I'm not sure about it. So far I am just really confused. I'm about 60 pages into the 1st book. There are just so many foreign words and pronunciations that my head hurts. Does it get better?
Christine wrote: "Crazy4more wrote: "Christine wrote: "Lychee wrote: "Just started the series. Finished the first one and it's okay so far.

Like I said, I only read 1 book and an owner of a auto-shop...the image was too much of a hard-ass... but you're right, she knows her limit...alright...I just want more romance btwn her and Adam already but sounded like I have to wait quiet a bit longer.

She said, done AND thought-out-loud some of the funniest thing.

Then of course he didn't let her get away it, he glued the chair to my ass. I had so much laughs.

Good luck!

Just starting to read

I was like that too bc I wasn't familiar with the Fae background, the missing queen and all of their magic, realms and other technicallities. After the first 2 bks and while waited for the 3rd book, I read Moning's Highlander series, not that you have to, I just loved Moning's writing style and storytelling by this point. I thought her Highlander series shed more lights into the characters and the background stories leading up to the Fever...plus I loved her highlander series too.
Pansy wrote: "Just finished and it was a lot to take in. If you want a raw, intense,gritty love story this book will do the trick. It is not a sweet love story.
