I'm reading book 2 right now and I had the exact same thought about Shade and his "special room." I did not get that at all, lol. It seemed like the author was trying to find a way to insert BDSM without making Shade out to be too dominate. But isn't that the point of BDSM?
Finished
and really enjoyed it. Now rereading
YAY WRATH!

I liked this series, but it kind of bugged me that in every single book there was some sexual hangup or problem with one of the lead characters.
I'm listening to
. I'm really enjoying it, but Caldar just isn't as fun and interesting as I thought he would be.

This. There's other stuff about the demon brother's species that bugs me, but maybe the sexual hang ups are unique to the demon brothers and that bit of the relationship arch goes away in the LOD books.

It's killing me to wait until August for Dark Skys - and it's already further up the bestseller chart than mine!
Could not finish
. Too much about the sex and not enough story for me.

Just finished Eve Newton's LIVES ENTWINED. The absolute best contemporary erotic suspense novel I have read!

I've anxiously been awaiting a book 5 ... but haven't heard any rumblings of one. My favorite by far was Kaldar's book,
I finished my advance copy of
, it was decent for a cozy mystery.Now I'm back to PNR with
I just finished
since I had to know what all my TV watching friends were talking about. It was surprisingly good!!
Finished reading
- very interesting and fresh idea, but battle on the moon in this setting was an overkill for me :) ;) And finished listening to
- cool as usual!Started reading
.
finished
, was pretty good but i ended up rating it only 3.5 stars. mainly being that i went in knowing little about the Japanese culture and had to spend half the book looking up words in google which i found somewhat tiresome. loved Buruu and Yukiko. the world was pretty incredible as well, in a bad way. lol.also finished
have to say im highly surprised by how much i ended up enjoying this book, i was concerned i was going to hate it with how much religion is involved in it, but after i got past maybe the first 1/4 - 1/3 i had trouble putting the book down. i love how the characters changes and grows, by the end of the book she was nothing like how she was at the start, and she really was incredible. so brave and considerate of others. i'll deff being looking for more books by thi author.
I'm reading Angelfall of course, and Divergent and Hush. Hush!
Just started
. So far so good.

It's not new, but I love this author's clever writing. 
(Necromancing the Stone)
Her first book, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is a hoot.

I'm pretty sure there are no plans for a book five in the series. But I would love to see George and Jack each get a book some day. *sigh*
I started
but just wasn't feeling it, so I picked up
instead and am so happy I did. It's so good.In audio, I'm listening to
which is jammed packed with action and is so much fun to listen to. "In real life, vampires only sparkle when they're on fire." Love that line.

Finished the newest Jane Yellowrock on audio. Do I really have to wait a year?

I liked books 1 & 2 but really enjoyed the 3rd and 4th! Lore is still my favorite.

I just listened to the entire series through December and the beginning of January, and I'm going through withdrawal. Plus, I feel like she left more things hanging in this one than in the previous ones.
I finished
and moved on to
only to find that this book has shifted to the POV of a different character and so far doesn't include any of my favorite characters from the first two books. But still, it's pretty good so far, and maybe a the change in POV and setting will keep the series fresh in a back-to-back read.
I'm almost done with
and I love it!!!!

I'm waiting on book three from the library but I looked ahead to see what four was about. Do they introduce a new group of Sem Demons?
Denise Nanna wrote: "Anyone here heard anything about any more books in the Rhiannon's Law series?"I know... my library can't order
I checked on Amazon and the price was crazy... Like hundreds of dollars, seriously???
I have finished Faceless - Dawn Kopman Whidden and now about to pick up The Husband's Secret - Liane Moriarty.
I'm just getting around to reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's League series. I love her Dark Hunters, and so far, so good.

I just started the third:
Book 1 was decent, book 2 was better but I was confused on why Shade's 'gift' of releasing one's darkness was done by utilizing his, uh, cave room --huh? Overall, I like the world it's set in so far. None of the characters stand out so far except the 'Were' Luc and Keynan and Gem. Hope their stories continue.
