Interesting Cherra!!! I just got my copy of Covet, but going to try to hold off until I read Lover Avenged which should be getting here soon!!! Interested to hear what you think of Beyond the Highland Mist... I have that in my pile and was thinking of trying it soon....
Cherra - my mom just finished Covet. She said it took about 100 pages to get into. I'm on the fence with this one. I really don't want to read a book that takes so long to get into.

Me too! He makes a really interesting character, it makes the book that much better.

So I was sad that Covet didn't measure up :-(
Beyond the Highland Mist is really good so far--I am on chapter 16. Also loving Sunny's new series Lucinda, Darkly about 1/2 thru that one too.

Sometimes it takes me a bit to get going in the first book--but usually by the end I am totally sold or I walk away from the series. I have a while to think about continuing the series before the next book comes out, but right now, I am still on the fence. I would give it a go if I were you because there are so many who totally love, love, love it.

I had a really hard time wiht how they constantly refered to Hawk as the Hawk! I just couldn't stand it! I did hear the series gets better so I may try another someday. Let us know what you think.
Just starting Mortal Instruments book 2 and Crazy Beautiful YA also

Hey, I'm reading the first book in the Mortal Insturment series right know, I'm just over half way. I was just wondering what you thought of the first book in the series, so far I really like it, and is the second one as good so far?
I just picked it up from the library tonight. I really did enjoy the first one. I think a 12-13 year old would super love it. I have read so many mixed reviews. I want to tell each and every person that gives a YA book a bad review to read it and review it thru the eyes of a YA. Was it my fav no but it was entertaining and I want to read the 2nd so that is good in my book. Jace has me hooked! I actually just gave it to my babysitter she is 13 I can't wait to see what she thinks.

Thanks for letting me know what you thought, and I agree I think that a young teen would really like it.
I'm reading No Rest for the Witches right now. The Maryjanice Davidson story was okay, but I'm really struggling with the others in this anthology :(If it weren't going to count for my challenge, I would think about abandoning... Anyone else read this?
Cherra - I liked Succubus On Top. It wasn't my favorite of the series, but I do like the series. I'm a fan of Richelle Mead's writing. It's easy to slip into her Georgina Kincaid world.

Kelly--it is funny how something like "the hawk" can ruin the story for you. I am the same way, but I didn't even notice that until you said that and now, everytime i read "the hawk" I find myself wondering...now why does she do that-that is a little annoying. I felt the same way with the BDB series by JR Ward with Vischous and the way he always says: "true" at the end of almost every sentence. I found myself constantly re-reading the sentence b/c I thought it was a stupid quirk. But I loved all the brotherhood books so much I was able to forgive this annoying little habit--as I am able to forgive Moning for calling her lovely highlander "the Hawk" because he is so yummy, sexy, delicious, do-able...need I go on?
I'm just about to start Frost Bite -vampire academy (2)!Really excited!

"Cherra - I have read the first 2 of the Kate Daniels series and i personally would say it's strictly UF and from that perspective it's good. I think I personally prefer a little more sexual tension in my books so for me it's a bit boring in that regard, but I like the world that she creates and I like her shifters.... So it's good when/if you need/want a break from all the romance/sex filled books :)

Awh I really enjoyed the first book, at first I was slightly unsure, but once I got into the storyline I was stuck! and I'm about to start the second, in like five mins lol as soon as true blood has finished! .. I haven't seen it yet|!

I've heard their new series has more romance. :D
I just finished Covet by J.R. Ward. It is really more of an urban fantasy than a paranormal romance, but it is still a good read. Starts out slow though, so beware.

Sorry to use the word "true". haha Love your new profile picture. Very cute and perfect for October!
Ashlee wrote: "starting the BDB tonight!!!!!!"Well, you're in for a treat.
I'm hooked on Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series and recently started reading the City of Ember YA series by Jeanne Duprau. I got hooked on both of these by the TV show or movie. They're more fantasy than paranormal romance, but I like to vary the genres when I read.
Just started Vampire Academy, then I'm going back to the House of Night books.
Charlotte wrote: "Just started Vampire Academy, then I'm going back to the House of Night books."I read the first vampire academy and ordered the second as soon as I finished it! I'm sure you'll like it!
House of night!! awh can't wait to get the new book!

I concur, these are one of my top recommends.
I'm reading Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I'm starting to get into her series and writing style. It's a little hard after reading the Black Dagger series.

Hi Trina! I had a hard time finding a good series after BDB too. I looked at your read list and I didn't see a few good series I have read that are as good as BDB--I thought I would make a few suggestions:
Kiss of Midnight--the Midnight Breed series is a similar story line to BDB. secret warrior society/ save the world/find love/with a back story that links all the books.
Mona Lisa Awakening--the Monere Children of the Moon series--one of my new favorites. Sunny also has a spin off series that starts with Lucinda, Darkly.
Halfway to the Grave--the night huntress series--also one of my favorites.
Dead Until Dark--the southern vampire series--another one of my faves!
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE FOLLOWING SERIES NEED TO BE READ IN ORDER?The Highlander series by Karen Marie Moning starts with Beyond the Highland Mist?
The Nightwalkers series by Jacquelyn Frank starts with Jacob?

Ya it was the same way with me, at first I didn't think that I would like the books that much, but now I'm hooked! And the books just keep getting better and better, I've read all the ones that are out so far, and I don't know how I'm going to wait for the next book to come out. I'm dieing to see what is going to happen next.
Hope you like the second one. :)
heyy!!! the southern vampires!!! sookie! they made the book based on where i live:]]
they mention breaux bridge in the TV show lol
I just started "50 ways to hex your lover" the first book of a PNR series by Linda Wisdom. Anyone else read this book?

I finally finished Storm Born and I'm about 180 pages into
. I am hoping for the best, I really wanted to LOVE this series after reading everything here, but so far I'm only liking it.
I'm re-reading Caleb because I love it so much. Then I plan to jump into Lords of the Underworld series and start with the ebook The Darkest Fire. I've heard really good things about the series, so I'm excited to start it.

And I am absolutely loving Lord Maccon right now, I think he's probably one of my top three favorite werewolves of all time.
*perks up* Werewolf lord, you say?
