I am reading
and so far it is ok.I am just bummed thinking that maybe I have read everything that is good in PNR. I have read too many to list here but would love some new ones.

I think the other books in that series are better. I didn't even like the first one, but I had already bought books 2 and 3, so I read them and actually enjoyed them. But it is a mixed bag series for me. Some I really enjoyed and some I didn't care for.
Have you tried Eileen Wilks? Few people seem to have read her series. First book is Tempting Danger, although I consider it more UF than PNR. Nalini Singh and Shannon K. Butcher are two of my favorite PNRs.

I did read the first two of World of the Lupi. I think I will get back into Psy-Changeling, though.
Thanks.

That's so cool. After reading these books, I really want to go visit that area. I love it when authors tie their books so closely to their settings. It's like the reader gets to know the area, lol.
I noticed that this book even comes with a map!
Finished
a minute ago, literally and I already want the second one. WHAT a series!
Finished
it was pretty good. The fact that the two short stores within were linked made them not seem like short stories at all.Now I'm reading

Angela it really is not like fever...but it starts slow and the first book really starts setting the foundation for the story. It really heats up near the end and then things start happening. I think each book got better and better. I actually cried in book three.
Reading
and it's a really cute book so far.

I finished
this morning. I loved that series. I can't believe it took me so long to read it. Now I'm listening to
. It started out like a bubbly ya book, but as it turns out there is a lot more to it. So far, I'm pleasantly surprised. And in less than 10 hours (yes, I'm counting) I get
, which I am very, very excited about.

Don't you hate that when you feel like you read so many books that you have to wait on new releases to come out to interest you?

Thats exactly it. Is there a place to see what releases are coming up this year?

Michelle L. wrote: "I love it when authors tie their books so closely to their settings. It's like the reader gets to know the area, lol."Speaking of Chicagoland! LOL. Chloe Neill is really good about that. Chicago is practically another character in her books, even though her Chicago is definitely bougie, LOL!

I know how you feel
I'm reading
and so far its okay. This series isn't wowing me too much so I'm hoping it gets better.
I'm reading:
This is my first book by Gena Showalter, so i am really curious if i will like this series!
her stuff is pretty good, katie maccalistar is awesome too

I will reveal my total geekiness and admit that I keep a spreadsheet of the series I've read, complete with upcoming release dates. My friends always ask me when the next book comes out in a series and I usually know. Wow, I'm such a geek.
I finished
. I really liked it, but it wasn't perfect. The first half was an easy solid four star read, but I still don't quite get the point of Donovan Caine. (Any why does she almost always refer to him as "Donovan Caine" instead of just as "Donovan" or "Caine"?) Maybe he's the male equivalent of all those women in the James Bond movies: he's just there to serve as a hot body for the random sex scene? But I did enjoy it and will definitely continue with this series.
Deadlocked. About a quarter of the way in and not loving it, but i was warned it was just meh so I knew not to expect anything great. Still, I read all the others so I need to read this one too.

I've been avoiding it. LOL
I just finished
and I agree that the first book wasn't the greatest. The series definitely got better with each book. I'm very happy I stuck with it because its now one of my top five favorite series!!Now...I've started listening to

But it really improves with every book and now I'm very impatiently waiting for the next one. And hey, the first book had 'here kitty, kitty' so it wasn't all bad. :)

Well, if keeping a spreadsheet is geekiness, than I'm geek #2. I keep a running series with release dates as my bookmark, just handwritten...

I'm actually looking forward to
just as a temporary fix for the Kate and Curran withdrawal. It can't come soon enough. 2013 for the next Kate book tho! /weep
Thanks Ty, I'll put it on my bookmarker!
Yes, sooo looking forward to Andrea/Raphael's book!
I can't say how much I loved
. JR honored Wellsie and the love that was...Reading
...so excited for it. Heard it's a redemption for the previous book which I couldn't finish, sorry.

Crazy4more wrote: "Christine wrote: "I finished . I really liked it, but it wasn't perfect.

Every time she walked into her apartment she looked at the sketches of her families ruins, every time she'd go out to fight she had her 'five-point arsenal', etc. The saving grace was that at least most of it was minor details that some readers might not even notice, rather than major plot points. I hate it when the author hits you over the head with hints about the bad guy to the point it becomes insulting. Since it was mostly minor points, I can overlook most of it. I'm just hoping Donovan's character is developed more if he's going to continue appearing in the series. I didn't get much of a feel for him in this one. But I really liked Gin and the world the author has created.
Christine, you might like FictFact, they send an email when there's a new installment in a series you're following. :)
Magda wrote: "Yes, sooo looking forward to Andrea/Raphael's book!"I know! There's enough conflict there that it's gonna get juicy, especially since this one is supposed to run parallel with
. Definitely juicy! :)and yes, Christine, I'm crossing my fingers for a Kate/Curran cameo.
