I'm glad you liked it Michelle. I was one of the "loved it" folks too and a big part of that was because of how Young presented God and religion. If they make it into a movie I'll defintely go see it.

I started it last night, and stayed up way too late reading it. I've heard mixed reviews, but I think its pretty good so far.

I have the whole series to date in my stacks. And the new one coming out this month or next is on its way to me as a review book. I just need to find time for the first 3! LOL

I have that book and been meaning to read it! Let me know what you think when you are done, if you don't mind! :o)"

Awesome! I'll have to move that up in my reading order then! Thanks for letting me know how you liked it!

Michelle Gilmore | 3220 comments I finally finished Urban Shaman (Walker Papers, #1) by C.E. Murphy , which I really enjoyed. I'm still working on Nightwalker (Dark Days, #1) by Jocelynn Drake .

Ann Noell (fantasyannie) right now I'm reading Secrets Of A Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers, #1) by Lisa Kleypas and also Love in The Time of Dragons Love in the Time of Dragons (Light Dragons, #1) by Katie MacAlister by Katie MacAlister

Valorie  | 676 comments I'm finding myself very disappointed with
Devour (Institut Scientifique, #1) by Melina Morel . It is very dis-jointed, the writing doesn't seem to flow. She jumps from one character situation to the next very quickly. The characters interaction with each other seems very formal and reminds me of bad acting in movies. It is very difficult to pick the book back up again. I'm going to try and get through it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I've read other reviews that have said the same thing. I know sometimes it's hard not to finish a book, but there's too many other books out there,(most of which you own!) to have to force yourself :)

I've heard the same thing about the books in this series. That's why I never bought any of them even though they sounded good.


message 316: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Gilmore | 3220 comments I finished Nightwalker (Dark Days, #1) by Jocelynn Drake and Behind Blue Eyes by Pat Cromwell . Both were pretty good books in my opinion. I'm not sure what I'll start next.


message 317: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Gilmore | 3220 comments I'll be starting Darkborn (Darkborn Trilogy, #1) by Alison Sinclair today.


message 318: by Megan (new)

Megan | 1285 comments I am trying to finish Life After Phantom Opera Erotica by Samantha so I can start one of my July challenge books Colder Than Ice (Mordecai Young, #2) by Maggie Shayne . Life After Phantom has lulled though. I'm trying to push through it though...

I have been wanting to get Life After Phantom Opera Erotica by Samantha for the longest time!!!

Michelle Gilmore | 3220 comments I finished reading Darkborn (Darkborn Trilogy, #1) by Alison Sinclair , book 1 in the Darkborn trilogy. It's a victorian style fantasy that started out interesting enough, then slowed down quite a bit. For the first novel in a trilogy, I would've liked more world-building, and perhaps a guide to some of the made up terms specific to this story (think JR Ward's BDB glossary of terms). I'm not sure if I'll continue reading this series.

Michelle Gilmore | 3220 comments I'm starting Dark Oracle (Oracle, #1) by Alayna Williams tonight.

Like Charlotte Featherstone this is much more than an erotica. I am in love with the first 150 pages of this book. After that I've hit a lull. I'll let you know what I think of it after I finish it though.


message 323: by Megan (new)

Megan | 1285 comments Okay, back from vacation, didn't read one page. So I am 5 days behind for the July Challenge already! LOL! Since Life After Phantom: Opera Erotica lulled I'm going to put that aside for now and finally get around to starting Colder Than Ice.
