Im reading The Accidental Werewolf by Dakota Cassidy and still The Minion by L.A. Banks. I am having a hard time with The Minion. Has anyone else read the series and liked it????
I'm reading Night Embrace in the Dark Hunter series. Really enjoying this series so far.
Just started Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs. I love her books. I just finished What's a Ghoul to do? by Victoria Laurie. I really enjoyed the book.
I'm about half way through Dead Until Dark. Have to say I'm struggling with this. Don't really like any of the characters. Am I the only one???I've started to watch the series on-line (as I don't think it's made it over to the UK yet), think I prefer it to the book.
hi charlotte::no series hasn't appeared here yet::haven't watched any of it myself as i have trouble with books into film and vice versa::anyway is it good?::i enjoyed the books but have to admit that because they were library borrows i started further into the series then went back to read the start::in fact i read the first 3 books last::anyway altho i enjoyed them i think i've been sookied out for a while::i found the bdb and don't think sookie does it for me anymore::not for while at least::
i know::i'm bound to get sookie fever again tho' lol::that's one reason why i wont watch the tv series::i know in my head what all the charaters look like and i think if i see someones elses vision of them i'll put me off :)::
Just starting Turbulent Sea by Christine Feehan. I love her Drake Sisters series, but for some reason I've delayed reading this one.Any other readers of this series? How does this one compare to the others? It just seems like it's going to be a much darker book - and no, I don't have the Sight!
BJ I read Turbulent Sea. It was good. I like the Ghostwalkers and Carpathians more though. I wasn't crazy about the celebrity stuff, but Ilya can eat crackers in my bed anytime.

Gotta be honest, I didn't really like the TV show either, though I might give it another chance now that it's out on dvd. I'll see if I can get it from the library.
I'm reading Caressed By Ice by Nalini Singh.I'm on page 45-ish. What I'm liking so far is Judd's instinctive need/desire to give Brenna what she needs. Her brothers and the rest of the pack are being so overprotective they're smothering her, and Judd sees what she really needs and is willing to give it to her, long before he even consciously knows that he has feelings for her. It's so sweet.
In a genre so crammed full of overprotective alpha males who like to throw their woman over their shoulder and hide them in a cave, it's refreshing (and romantic!) to read about a man who sees that what his woman actually needs is freedom and will help her gain that at any cost.

I agree with both Nichole and Yz about Judd. That man was something else. :)

There's a lot more sex than there is in the book. Bill is rather hot too!!!

Thank god I'm not the only one!!!!
I finished the book and the only character I really felt drawn to was Bill. I just kept waiting for some full on Vampire anger, you know - for him to completely loose it, but he didn't. Just felt a bit limp. Expected a bit more.
The TV show is so much better than the book, there's a lot more going on and Bill comes over much better in the flesh, so to speak. Not so much of a wuss.
Guess I'll try Anita Blake now, or the BDB.
you know i always prefered bill over eric::if i'm really really honest with myself i kept reading them in the hope that sooks and bill would get back together::and b/c i started reading the series after they split up::i needed to know how they met:)::more sex::hot bill::sounds good to me::
Adrienne wrote: "you know i always prefered bill over eric::if i'm really really honest with myself i kept reading them in the hope that sooks and bill would get back together::and b/c i started reading the series ..."Bill and Sookie break up!!!
Damn, guess I'm going to have to keep reading them now.
I'm only up to episode 3 of the TV show and virtually all the sex has involved Jason - no surprise there. But Sam has also gotten lucky (he barks in his sleep!)
oooops sorrry::i always do that::manage to get a spoiler in some where without realizing i've done it::anyway will try to locate tv series::i'm a big bdb fan they're deliciously dirty and well worth reading::plus the storyline is really well developed and interesting::theres alot going on there::

Kyle, you'll have to tell us about The Strain. I love Del Toro's movies, and I'm really curious about this book.

The first in the trilogy only came out on June 2nd but Del Toro is highly acclaimed no matter what he does so I'm looking forward to it.

But then I'm not a fan of Anna Paquin either. But hey, Eric is nice. I don't love the show, but find it entertaining.
I am about 3/4 through
. It is horror more then anything. It is great. It is written like a movie and there are some trailers out that are really good for it. I found some here on this site a couple days ago. I dont know what I did to find them. I am loving it.

I am currently reading My Wicked Enemy. I like the book's mythology, but don't know how I feel about the two main characters yet.

Really??? But then I have a thing for tall dark brooding types. He's dreamy. Eric does nothing for me I'm afraid.
Nita, I liked the mythology too, but they were just in their heads too much, and then Nikodemus took a backseat for some reason, even though he's a main character, LOL.
Working on reading "touch of a highlander" by karen marie moning
This has nothing to do with what i am reading but is any one else addicted to goodreads!!! I am constantly looking for new books to add to my TBR list.
Mod
thats exactly what I do... even weekends I leave it up and periodically check it.
Just finished Turbulent Sea - I liked it and was disappointed in it at the same time. Because the heroine and her band are on a singing tour, there are regular references to drugs and indiscriminate sex - my disappointment was in the acceptance, stated and implied, that it's too much of a temptation to resist, altho the heroine resisted, thankfully.Ready to start Witch Heart by Anya Bast
Mod
I'm reading Mine to Possess. I love this series and even though I'm having a hard time reading anything but M/M right now, this book grabbed me from the first page.
I am reading Real Vampires Get Lucky by Gerry Bartlett and Wait Till Your Vampire Gets Home by Michelle Bardsley. I have been reading all the books in both of those series and they are good fun!
I just finished Sara Reinke's "Dark Thirst" and absolutely LOVED it. Vampires with disabilities... who would have thought? I can wait to get my hands on the next one!!In the meantime, I am reading Midnight Moon, by Lori Handeland. I am not too far into it yet, but it looks to be fairly entertaining.

IT's sooo good! Glad you picked it up. I didn't get as crazy over it as I did Twilight but it is sooo good!
I just bought Storm Born by Richelle Mead to read on the plane ride tomorrow. Is it any good?
