Kyle, I haven't read Storm Glass but since I've read her Study series, SG is in my TBR pile. I really enjoyed Snyder's writing style. The study series is very good, I enjoyed the first 2 books more than the 3rd. Theres action, romance, suspense. Just a grain of romance compared to what I usually enjoy, but overall a great series.

Charlotte, I was with you on the accent! I don't remember if it ..."
Morgan & Charlotte: How did you like Book 1? I just started this book last night. I had just finished reading Jeaniene Frost's 3rd book "At Graves End" of her Night Huntress series and I absolutely loooved them. Bones and Cat's relationship, the action, humor, and plot are everything Im looking for in a new series. So, someone suggested HLNO and I picked it up. I dont know if I just have too high of expectations since I was looking for something too similar. A chase maybe?
(Possible SPOILERS) I did not like how the book started off. I love a chase, when characters fall for one another, romance, yada yada...But this to me started off kinda rough and forced, not mutual. Lachlain seems so possessive and forceful it was an immediate dislike for me.
I only have gotten 30 pages in, so I know I haven't given it a real fair chance, but Im ready to return it :/ Does it get better?

Charlotte, I was with you on the accent! I don'..."
Desiree, I only read the first chapter and I haven't touched it since. Lachlain seriously got on my nerves - so I went back and finished Dark Lover instead (which was fantastic). I'll have to go back to A Hunger Like No Other at some point, but I'm just not in the mood at the moment.
I'm waiting for the first Night Huntress book to arrive, everyone really seems to enjoy them - Bones sounds very popular.




This series is REALLY good. I just reviewed the first book on my profile if you care to take a gander.
Keep reading!

I am trying to get into Ill Wind by Rachel Caine & A Girl's Guide To Vampires by Katie MacAlister.
I guess i'm just trying to pass the time time until Tuesday, when the new Jeaniene Frost Night Huntress book comes out. ;)

Glad you are enjoying the series more. I'm starting Lover Awakened tonight. Just finished Darkfever which I really enjoyed. Never read Moning before -- which still strikes me as a bit odd considering how popular she is.

I love Karen Moning's "Fever" series!!! I can't wait for the next one to come out on August 18th. Are you going to read "Bloodfever" now that you are done with "Darkfever?" I just picked up those books about a month ago and read the first three right away. I am addicted to that series...it is so not good!
Ally

I just started the Anita Blake series too and am reading the second book..."The Laughing Corpse." I picked up the first book after I finished "Faefever" and it was VERY different (in a good way). I hope you like "Faefever"...The ending in that one has made me very anxious to read the next one in a few weeks...I am so glad it is coming out on August 18th!

Definitely, though I really don't like the story line, LOL. I'm not much into Urban Fantasy. But Darkfever was just hypnotic somehow so I think I am sucked into this series. I was surprised when I realized that the book was over (read it on my Kindle). I was that caught up and obviously it wasn't the end of the story.

I didn't even think it was supposed to be out till August but I guess I was wrong :D So excited..okay well off to read.

I didn't even think it was supposed to be out till August but I gue..."
AAAHHHHH! I KNEW I should have waited to by my copy of Thorn Queen in the store, but I pre-ordered it from Amazon instead so who knows when I'll get it!!! Totally jealous, here!!!!!

I didn't even think it was supposed to be out till Aug..."
lol its really good so far, which was to be expected Mead knows what she's doing :P


I just finished Kiss of the Wolf by Morgan Hawke and I'm about to start The Sword by Jean Johnson.

You really should Storm Born first :P It helps get connected to characters and the story :D

I can't wait for the next.
Back to Iron Kissed.


Finished The Sword and onto The Wolf. These are easy, uncomplicated reads.

My thoughts exactly. The best of that series is The Flame. A little more "Conflict" than the others. But yes, easy, uncomplicated reads.

Do those books need to be read in order? I have The Wolf and The Master but not The Sword.

I'd compare it with Stephanie Laurens' Cynster series, it helps because the prophesy unfolds in steps. I'll know better when I've read The Wolf and I'll post then.

It is better if you read in order. In fact, you may be lost if you don't read the Sword, because so much of the series hinges on information presented in that book. After that, it's not quite as important. To be honest, I read them so far apart at times, I was a little confused later on when references from I think it's book 4 showed up in the last book and I couldn't remember who was who. LOL. My fault though, not the author's.
looloo - If you're on Paperback Swap, I'll be happy to let you have my copy of The Sword as I have duplicate.
Finished The Wolf and I'm now have way thru The Master, which is a far better read than the first two books.


I'm one of the few people on the planet who don't have a crush on John Matthew. Not sure why that is, but I'm more interested in Thor's book.

God these boys are so cursed.

as for JM, he is starting to come across as a whiny self absorbed brat, so I guess I'm missing something there. LOL.



Gems can't wait to hear what you think of it... I'm very much anticipating V's story!!! He and Butch are by far my fav's so far!:)

Teresa, it's JM I'm concerned about via Reincarnation... something there didn't gel right with me but maybe it's explained in later books and it'll make sense. If they're waiting for Wellsie's reincarn, they'd be having to let a few years pass... I dunno. Has their even been a mention of Tohr's story in the pipe line?

her new series is about fallen angels.

Oh no... now i'm scared!:(:("
haha don't be scared. He is a very sexy vamp you don't want to miss out on

Huh. I stopped before getting to The Master because I was bored with the series and hated whatever her name was from the first book.

Aren't they just? I was thinking that this morning when I did my review of Lover Awakened. I'm reading a contemporary, Bending the Rules & deliberately choose it because I wanted a break from paranormal -- no Vamps, no werewolves, no shifters, no breeds, no
fae -- just regular people. And I'm kinda bored, LOL.

is he not the hottest of them all
hehe
I love him

And yeah V always struck me as the coolest of the BDB... or the Cursed Boys - the supernatural version of the Lost boys.
