It was pretty average. The ending bit on the last page was what sealed the deal for me for to continue on.

Vivian (_vivian) Read The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2) by James Dashner and...I'm not sure how I feel. It was definitely action-packed, and I still like the whole premise, but felt like the plot wasn't as thought-out as Maze Runner.

Samantha | 432 comments I just read Betrayals (Strange Angels, #2) by Lilith Saintcrow . And it was pretty good, I'm definitely continuing with the series.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments Glad to hear it I have the first two in the series sitting on my shelves.

Strange Angels is one of my favorite series. It's hard to find people who like Lili St. Crows type of snarky writing, but I loved it!!

Amanda  (peanutty222) I just read Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins and I was suprised by how much I liked it. It was really good.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments Lili St. Crow's snarky writing is one of the things I love about her books. Even if the story doesn't do it, the snark will.

I keep seeing that people are really liking this book. Guess I'll have to read it.

After I finished this one I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I went out and bought the next. ;) I think I'm a fan, lol.

Whitney (whitneychakara) | 1272 comments I just read The Reckoning (Darkest Powers, #3) by Kelley Armstrong I felt that is was good and seeing as she is coming out with more in the series but with a different set of characters Im eager to read more and see how eerything will connect. I've also been reading alot of fashion mags getting ready for this quaters work ive prob read about 600 pgs usually the mags contain 200+ pgs so I think I will call it a book lol.

Samantha, if you have any questions regarding the Strange Angels series Lilith has a good forum where most of those questions were discussed.

Nichole ~Bookaholic~ (nicholebookaholic) | 185 comments I just finished Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in Between (Rhiannon's Law, #1) by J.A. Saare very good and while not really a "cliff hanger" ending it still leaves stuff unresolved....the next book is due out in 2011 but no indication of when....argh!

Thanks, Amanda!

I just finished Jealousy (Strange Angels, #3) by Lilith Saintcrow and now I'm kicking myself, because it's quite an ending. I should've waited until closer to April, lol.

yeah, I know.....I'm counting down the days. The fifth and last book doesn't even have a release date yet. The author said she finished writing it, so I am hopeing for late 2011.

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments I read Bayou Moon (The Edge, #2) by Ilona Andrews and I just couldn't get into it. :(

I was trying to read Misguided Angel (Blue Bloods, #5) by Melissa de la Cruz , but I was having a hard time with it as well, grrrrrrr. I started Naked in Death (In Death, #1) by J.D. Robb hoping a change would help get me out of my reading funk. So far I like it.


message 966: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments I am interested to see what you think of Naked in Death Carrie.

Jasmine  (jadorejas94) | 950 comments Sin Undone (Demonica, #5) by Larissa Ione

Even though I tried stretching this book out as long as possible, alas it had to come to an end! I lovelovelove this series, and am going back and rereading my favorite parts of the previous books right now. This series ranks above Night Huntress for me, and slightly above Black Dagger Brotherhood. To be fair I haven't read any BDB in awhile so maybe I'm just forgetting my love of the series, =X.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments Wicked Intentions (Maiden Lane, #1) by Elizabeth Hoyt

Just decided to read this one to get my reading ju-ju back in full swing. Which was a good thing, because it was soooooo good. I'm really liking my intro into historical romance. It's not as cheesey as I thought they would be.

Jessica B | 292 comments Just finished with

Bed of Roses (Bride Quartet, #2) by Nora Roberts Savor the Moment (Bride Quartet, #3) by Nora Roberts Happy Ever After (Bride Quartet, #4) by Nora Roberts Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2) by Becca Fitzpatrick Angels' Pawn by Nalini Singh

Crescendo was definitely my favorite read!

I am about halfway and so far I am really into it.

***SPOILERS***



I am a bit disappointed that Roarke and Eve slept together so soon. I was hoping for a gradual relationship with lots of sexual tension leading finally to sex. Maybe something like Kate and Curran's.


message 971: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments I think that if the author had any idea how popular these books would be she would have dragged it out. She originally had only planned on these books to be a trilogy, but here we are so many years later and approaching book #30 in the series.

Hoyt does write some of the better historical romances in the genre, imo. :D I haven't gotten to that one yet, though.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments Glad to hear Hoyt's other books are good. I was meaning to buy The Raven Prince when I realized I had this one from a book giveaway.


message 974: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 432 comments That one was good and I also really liked The Leopard Prince (Princes Trilogy, #2) by Elizabeth Hoyt , which is in the same series.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments Yes, I've heard great things about that one. My bookstore doesn't have book 1 yet so I'm eager to get my hands on it. >_<

I've been thinking about checking out To Taste Temptation series while I wait for The Raven Prince.


message 976: by Samantha (last edited Dec 29, 2010 08:13PM) (new)

Samantha | 432 comments I've only read the 2nd in that series, but I want to read the 3rd To Beguile a Beast because I'm such a sucker for Beauty & the Beast stories.

In fact, another good HR writer is Eloisa James. Have you read any of hers? I've only read her Desperate Duchesses series, but they're also a lot of fun.

Sometimes series can really be hit or miss, but the better ones make up for it.

Oh wow, 3 books? I think they are up to the mid or late 30's now. I was just checking overdrive to see about getting the ebooks since it will cost me a fortune to buy all of them, and I saw a In Death book 36! They mostly have the audiobooks which is weird since ebooks are cheaper (I guess they aren't as popular yet). The audio for Naked In Death is really good though. I was listening to it while cooking and doing dishes. Going to bed to read some more of it before I pass out.


message 978: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments I do think that the narrator is good for the In Death books. I find I read the new book, then later request the audio because I love them so much.


message 979: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (peanutty222) I bought 20 of the In Death books at Half Priced books on clearance for $1 a piece!! I am still trying to collect the rest, of course i am missing book #2,3,4 and 5


message 980: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments That is a good deal Amanda! But of course you would be missing the early ones, murphy's law.


message 981: by Carrie (Care) (new)

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments I wish the ebooks were cheaper, but I have some Kobo cupons so that will help out.

How horrible is it that I don't even want to get physical books from the library anymore? I just want them on my Nook, and I love books. What is wrong with me?

Anyway, I finished Naked in Death (In Death, #1) by J.D. Robb (I am editing my ebooks to use these covers as I like them better) and I really, really liked it! I did have a couple issues so I didn't give it 5 stars, but all in all I am excited for this series.

So is every book a stand alone, or do some arcs bridge across books? I will read them in order anyway, but I was just curious. 30 something books is a lot to be complete stand alones and not get boring.


message 982: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 2770 comments For the most part the stories are stand alones. The characters develop more, you see more secondary characters added and it seems like with each book you learn more about them, along with Eve and Roarke's past.

Some of the things that happen are heartbreaking, others really funny!


message 983: by Carrie (Care) (new)

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments Sounds good! It kind of reminds me of the show Bones in some ways. Hmmmmmm, David Boreanaz doesn't look too much like Roarke (his eyes anyway, the rest could pass), but maybe I should try to envision him as Roarke anyway.

Going to start the second book, Glory in Death (In Death, #2) by J.D. Robb .

Oooo, To Beguile a Beast sounds awesome! I love beauty and the beast romances.

I'm pretty much new to the HR genre and I'm kind of testing the water out. Thanks for the recomendation, Eloisa James books sound really good. ^_-


message 986: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (_vivian) Carrie, I'm with you about the library books. Maybe because my Kindle is new, but I don't get books from the library as much anymore, and I used to go on at least a weekly basis. Makes me a little sad :(


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments Just finished Witch Fire (Elemental Witches, #1) by Anya Bast

It was a really great idea, but too much sex. Some times authors can pull off the over sexed factor, but Bast couldn't for this one. The world was soooooo good that I wanted to see more out of the bedroom.

Wasn't as good as her Dark Magic series, which had more plot time and world building. However, I will be reading the next book in this series.

Half Priced Books. It's the first place I go to get any book I want to buy.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments Just finished It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2) by Lisa Kleypas

It was sooooo awesome, I'm really starting to believe that HR is worth a look! Made the mistake of reading the book excerpt in the back, now I'm debating whether or not to make a special trip into town just to buy book 3.

Ali | 43 comments Just read Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, #1) by Richelle Mead , Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush, #1) by Becca Fitzpatrick , A Fistful of Charms (Rachel Morgan/The Hollows, #4) by Kim Harrison over my vacation.

I felt like they were all 3 stars. Hush, Hush was far better than the other two, but i just wanted to learn more about the main character before the author introduced the love interest. I will keep reading that series and the Rachel Morgan series but I am not sure about SB.


message 991: by Carrie (Care) (new)

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments I finished Glory in Death (In Death, #2) by J.D. Robb and I liked it as much as the first. I did figure out who the killer was relatively soon, and that is kind of annoying. I love being shocked and thrown for a loop.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 2445 comments I'be been thinking about picking up this series, I'm just a little leery it might turn into a tacky romance.


message 993: by Carrie (Care) (new)

Carrie (Care) (care76) | 1746 comments The closest romance I can compare it to is Cat and Bones. There is not vampires or supernatural beings though. Roarke reminds me a lot of Bones and Eve is very strong and independent like Cat.


message 994: by Jessica B (new)

Jessica B | 292 comments Just finished with

Ice Blue (Ice, #3) by Anne Stuart - my favourite of the Ice series by Anne Stuart so far... she writes the best dark characters!
Beastly by Alex Flinn - Loved it!
Stargazer (Evernight, #2) by Claudia Gray - slow to start but a high paced ending.
A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, #2) by Kresley Cole - Can't wait to read more from this series!

Whitney (whitneychakara) | 1272 comments I just finished Magic Bites and it was a great book I gave it 5 stars I enjoyed kates character and how strong she was. I also love THE BEAST LORD. I def did not think that the psycho was who it turned out to be I thought it was someone totally different I kinda dismissed the real one at the start. I will be picking up the next books in the series ASAP.

Heather- i actually really liked the first half of Fist Full of Charms- Even the stuff with Ivy was OK. It was the ending that just dragged on so much.
