I really loved both those books too!! I read alot of books but those two stuck with me, I think the poetry helped in keeping the story fresh in my mind
P.A. wrote: "Michelle(Chelle) aka Nightshade - Cake Whisperer wrote: "P.A. wrote: "Michaela wrote: "Finished yesterday and while I liked it I didn't really feel as connected ..."TOTALLY agree with you there, P.A. I just couldn't stand those imaginary moments Phury has throughout the book either. I repeat, it was my least favorite book so far. And now I just got up the courage to start
. Let's see where it leads to. :)
the thing about the wizard is she was trying to make people see how self tortured he is he blamed him self for everything (his parents, z, everything became his fault in his eyes) to the point of giving this "voice" a face a name and a world to live in.... i understood the self blame and see where she meant to go with it but i do think she should have gone about it in a better way or at very least explain the origins of it all better so people weren't so angry about it.

She does have a great foundation and characters, but at times it felt like she gots pay per words, lol.

With all of these complaints, yet we kept coming back...if this is not proof it's still a great read, I don't know what is.

I just finished
...I was a bit disappointed. I love Spade and thought a book about him had a lot of potential, but it was squandered in this book...both him and Denise drove me nuts in the first half of this book....I think I love him/her, but they could possibly love me...could they...no they couldn't....ugh!!But now I'm super excited because I finally got
in the mail today!! So I will take a short break from Jeaniene Frost and check in with Charley.

The shower scene made up for it though, didn't it?
I finished
and while I liked it slightly better than
, I just find this series to still be just "ok". I still can't quite put my finger on what it is. I plan on continuing reading because I do like Mercy.

But I agree with PA that the shower scene made the book worth the read. He can take me to Vegas anytime.

I stopped after book 2 also. The MC was just too manly for me. I think it was the whole mechanic thing.
Finished up re-reading
, finished
and
not sure what I think of Anita Blake yet. I also unsure of what I'll read next...
Jenne wrote: "I stopped after book 2 also. The MC was just too manly for me. I think it was the whole mechanic thing."Totally agree, but I'll come back to this series later. Just ck'd out and saw that my library has 3 audiobooks for
series. Looked that that got some nice reviews too. I'm going to ck them out.

That series gets better and better with each book. I was hooked by book 3.
After reading Happily Never After, which I thought was a dud, I passed on all JF's novellas. You don't need them to read the series.
Finished
,
and starting
. Can't wait to see what this book reveals!!! So far this has been a good series. I wish I could remember who recommended them so I could say Thank You!!
I started
as soon as I finished
. These books are so well written.

i loved sabina kane series i would recomend to all as did i love mercy Thompson@PA which series were you referring to? the scangaurds or mercy?
Michelle(Chelle) aka Nightshade - Cake Whisperer wrote: "I started as soon as I finished . These books are so well written."Chelle, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Slammed. But I thought Point of Retreat wasn't necessary. It rehashed info, and could have been a novella. I just don't feel that it really advanced the story. But Slammed is a great, great great fead!!
@Crazymore: Make sure you read the novella called Alpha & Omega: A Companion Novella to Cry Wolf before you read Cry Wolf. The background really sets up book 1 well. I believe it is also in the On The Prowl anthology.

I am actually enjoying Point of Retreat but I totally want to "kilt" a certain ex-girlfriend.
Ann wrote: " After reading Happily Never After, which I thought was a dud, I passed on all JF's novellas. You don't need them to read the series." I agree, the novellas are very lacking. This is actually one series were I haven't read all of them just because they hardly ever add to the story but they are nice if you just need a quick Cat and Bones fix and don't have time for a whole book.
Jenne wrote: "I stopped after book 2 also. The MC was just too manly for me. I think it was the whole mechanic thing."Mercy really becomes a more feminine and vulnerable character in the third book.
I'm about halfway through the audio of
and I am really enjoying this book. Just the right blend of humor and smart characters. I think I may have a crush on Gabriel Nightengale.I'm also reading
. It's truly hysterical at times, I've laughed so hard I cried a few times. But at other times it tries too hard to be funny or resorts to what is (for me) unnecessary vulgarity in an effort to be funny. Overall, it's still an entertaining read.

The Dark Glamour. Got this in post this morning loved book 1 so can't wait to get into this one on page 61 so far. :)
Just finished
and I'll be starting
right away. :)

I'm reading
I'm only at 26% but I'm starting to think that the hype was a bit too high.
It's a nice read but it comes after I read City of Ghosts, Downside, and I think it's suffering from it!
All the books I'm reading after are not gripping my attention. Maybe I should just stick with Downside until the end!
Started to read
so far so good it just took a bit for it to get started for me but that is how the rest of the series were for me as well.
Yeppers, old Phury got screwed on his story. It was disappointing, but the rest of the bk was pretty good and Rhev's bk more than makes up for the disappointment of Phury's story. I didn't even really like Rhev until his bk, now I love him..

You're on a Downside high. Go finish it!

I really didn't like Phury's story, and it was disappointing because I liked him so much before his book. I hated that imaginary guy he talked to (can't remember what he called him) Every time he talked to him this is what I pictured
