I haven't even started reading books for this month. I am still finishing Dead to the World from last month's challenge! Poor little book doesn't count for either one now. February is a short month. No way I will finish 10 books! I read so slow! I plan to start The Lightning Thief as my first challenge book. :) Everyone else is doing so well!

TO READ
READ
1 Down / 9 To GoSo I decided to start out this challenge with Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton I've never read any of her books, although I've been meaning to for quite a while. My other group voted for this to be one of our books of the month, so I figured why not read it for both groups! I really did enjoy it. I was surprised though, because for some reason I had it in my mind that the book was supposed to by PNR and instead it was UF. That's fine! I read a lot of UF. I just wasn't expecting that!
This book does seem to be a good set-up for a great series. But I've heard people say that in the first book is when they fell for Jean-Claude. Yeah, I liked what I saw of him, but there wasn't anywhere near enough of him for me to be crazy about the vamp yet! We'll see how things go! He seems to have a lot of similar characteristics to Eric from the sookie books. And I love Eric, so I'm sure that I'll love Jean-Claude to!
Overall - A really good read. Not a favorite, but I have a feeling that the series will just get better.

Jennifer - What did you think of Three Days to Dead? I ended up picking up that book the other day, but haven't read it yet.

The last book has different narrators (male and female), but I still enjoyed it. I'm going to read Moning's highlander series soon because I found out there is some crossover. Fever was a lot of fun, but the withdrawals will likely kill me for the next 10 months. *laugh*
Mod
If you enjoyed the Fever books in audiobook version, you should try the Highlander books in the same format. Phil Gigante narrated all of them, and his voice with the Highland burr is just dreamy. ;)

how do I add the line through the books I have read?
see right above the comment box where it says (some html is ok) click that box and there are codes to use. at the begining of the line you will put <.s.> and at the end you will put <./.s.> without periods to strike through.
1 down! Just finished Unshapely Things and I can't say I was that impressed. The book just didn't hold my interest. I've read plenty of murder mysteries that kept me in suspense until the end, but sadly, this was not one of them.

I thought it was definitely a good start to the series. And it had enough twists to keep me interested. There was just something that fell a little flat for me. I'm not really sure what it was though, because in theory this really should have worked. Laid a good foundation, but Overall, kinda a 'meh' book for me. Gave it 3.5 stars.

Shiver was fantastic. Great characters, excellent writing, a really cool take on werewolves. It will be hard to wait until mid-summer for the sequel. I highly recommend it.
FlibBityFLooB - Yz is right! You need to read the Highlander books, and you should do it with the audio books! I LOVE Phil Gigante! His accent just makes you melt!
Jennie...I was really disappointed by Unshapely Things, too. It's cover was better than the book. I was really psyched for it, but it was tough to get through. I certainly won't be reading any more in that series.

Kiss of Fire is the beginning of what I think is going to be an excellent series. The series uses common themes and mixes them with unusual element. You have your commonly used guardian who finds his destined mate but mixes it with if that mate is going to be a temporary or permanent partner. We also see the independent heroine who starts to like the idea of turning submissive for the hero. The folklore surrounding the changelings is interesting and refreshing. I really enjoyed the story overall and look forward to the next book in the series.

2/10 done. I finished Heinlein's Number of the Beast which is a book I read at least 20 years ago. It held up okay, but not as well as I remembered it. Two stars-he's written better.The Healer by Sharon Sala-very good. I liked the main characters and the plot of the book is very logical, the people very realistic. No TSTLs here. Four stars.
Next up either Quick's The Third Circle or the anthology Inked.
It's taken me forever to get through the first Cassie Palmer book (almost four months), but once I finally forced myself to sit down and read it, I quite enjoyed it and look forward to checking out the rest of the series.1. A Favorite Author First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost
