Jenne I LOVED Eve of Samhain but loved book two even better. And book #3 comes out in May of 2012. A great series so far.

On the Island  by Tracey Garvis-Graves has been in the top 10 for a few weeks. I bought it a while ago also but have not read yet. I think I may read it next. Heard lots of good reviews and the premise sounds interesting. I want to know how this book will come together.

I bought Bared to You (Crossfire, #1) by Sylvia Day a couple of days ago and just put Black Butterfly by Sienna Mynx on my TBR. It sounds really good. I am a little nervous to read Bared.

I just finished Wanted a week ago and I loved it. I really enjoy this series. It is not really heavy and I know it is funny and sexy. Not too much sex but interesting stories.

I'm about 70% into Third Grave Dead Ahead (Charley Davidson #3) by Darynda Jones now and I'm really liking it... Second Grave on the Left (Charley Davidson, #2) by Darynda Jones was really good too.. I didn't really enjoy the first book but that may be because of the mood I was in at the time I read it... I really hate that we have to wait til October for the next one though... It's so far away lol

Now I should finish reading Kitty Takes a Holiday (Kitty Norville, #3) by Carrie Vaughn and Love Bites (Argeneau, #2) by Lynsay Sands , but instead I started reading My Soul to Save (Soul Screamers, #2) by Rachel Vincent .

I like Third Grave so far. The series seems to get better with every book. You should definitely read Grave Dance (Alex Craft, #2) by Kalayna Price . That book is amazing. Death is awesome. :) I can't wait for the next book in that series.

I really enjoyed this series. I liked the second and third books more than the first, but I have to confess I don't quite get all the hype over Reyes. I'm a Garret Girl myself. And the end of book three made me cry like a baby. Rest assured, it all works out in the end.

I'm with you. I prefer Garret as well, which actually surprised me. Normally, the intense, dark and tortured guys are right up my alley. But I liked Garret from the first moment he appeared in the book. I'm dying to hear the second half of Third Grave Dead Ahead, but I swore myself I would only listen to my audio books on the road or at the gym...

Let me know how you like it. Especially when you gave the first book 5 stars...you might not or might not loved the second one. It's controversial but to me, it's more real than not, and you'll feel that pain. It's that emotional kick that had earned a 5 stars from me. PLUS, the 3rd book is coming out anytime now.

LMBO. I don't really compare Reyes to Barrons except that they are both really unique characters. Not your typical vampire, werewolf, or demon.

P.A. Lupton (palupton) | 909 comments I just finished Naked by Megan Hart and it was pretty good but boring in some spots. I never understand why some authors feel the need to write out long descriptions of things that have no bearing on the story. The heroine is a photographer and there are pages and pages of scenes where she's taking photos of clients. None of the clients have anything to do with the story. It was boring and all I kept thinking was if you cut this all out this would make a good novella.


message 22599: by Katya (last edited Apr 21, 2012 07:30AM) (new)

Katya | 645 comments Until the Sun Falls from the Sky by Kristen Ashley just finished this and LOVED it!

A really interesting take on the paranormal world where Vampires exist....they chose from a select group of invited mortals to a "selection" where they choose a mortal who signs a contract to feed the vampire as his concubine until he sets her aside in a couple years. At that point he supports her the rest of her life in the good life and chooses a new concubine.

There are very ridged rules (laws) about how the concubine is treated. No Sex, Can't live with her, must be kind and protect her, no public events of their kind with her, can not mate with her. If you keep her too long she is removed from your life by The Council. What does Lucian do? Risk his life by divorcing/severing his relationship mate/wife, move in with Leah, and well....alot more.

Leah has avoided becoming a concubine for twenty years and is now forty....but her latest boy friend has broken up with her and her family (with a tradition of being concubines for five hundred years) has pushed her to accept an invitation to the selection....What she doesn't know is that Lucian (an 850 year old legend among vampires) marked her twenty years ago and has been watching and waiting for her since then to become available....now Leah is just trying not to fall for him because she knows he will set her aside eventually and she will be broken hearted for the rest of her life....but protecting her heart is not such an easy thing to do.

The next book is about Callum the Werewolf king and his mortal mate. The third is about a hybrid werewolf/vampire who is in hiding somewhere and unidentified as of yet. These couples all fit into these Prophesies which were written by "The Elder's" who are ancient immortals their kind or essence is not disclosed and very secretive.

Sometimes Lucian irritated me...he was forever keeping things from Leah and sometimes she was a little stubborn (but feisty in a good way)All-in-all, I never got bored reading this and really loved the slow pace of the relationship that rolled out. Kristen Ashley gives you time as you read to feel the relationship grow and you get to see the little shifts in their minds as they grow closer to one another.

This is the same author who wrote Knight and Wild Man but this novel is so different. Her characters and the tone of this book is totally different. I like that I can read different books from the same author and it is not a carbon copy of the previous book.
