I think that is my favorite of hers. I loved Daisy and the bit with the tiger just makes me go ohhhh.

I usually figure out the killers pretty early, but for me the that is the worst part of the books. I read for all of those secondary characters. They just keep getting better and better.


Ethan still is not my favorite character, there was no redeeming himself after the last book.


3.5 stars.

I really need to start book 3 again. It's not right for me to bug all my friends to read the series I want them to and not return the favor, and a few people want me to finish the series off.

It reminds me of a mix of Sookie Stackhouse (because of the main character) and Twilight (because of the love affair). I think a lot of people would like it, it just isn't on my top pick list.


Me, too! Both on the 2nd being better, and Isabel was my fav, too. I liked her attitude and sarcasm. I thought it was much more of an improvement on the first, but the plot seemed to hit all the same points, but with different situations. It was especially noticeable with the ending.


I liked that one also, and Heaven, Texas is my fav from SEP. :D


I liked Linger more too.

Yeah I thought the same. The whole book is riddled with words like 'wicked ___' and '___ as hell' and 'friggin ___', which starts to annoy after a while. She's 27 years old but she sounds like Dani from the fever series, who is 14.
And there was this part where Eli tells her he had been watching her sleep before they even met and instead of going: 'uhm thats weird' she got all happy and excited. That was very twilight-ish
I wrote a review a month ago complaining about this but I'm too lazy to type it out and post, so I'm complaining in this comment now haha

Is this series pretty humorous?
I thought book 2 was the weakest. 1 was entertaining, 2 was so-so, 3 picked up again and 4 had me adicted.

I will agree with you there.

Shera, they are standalones, so you can skip ahead.


I ended up reading all of the Kenyon book and all of LKH as fast as my library could get them after the first book. I've only ever managed to show restraint with Kim Harrison somehow.


Later in the series you find out that she has kids the way she was born... they spring out of her head.

***SPOILERS***
It drove me nuts that she would sleep with somebody so obviously disgusted by her. I get they had sexual chemistry, but really there is such a thing as self control.
Things do change up by the third book and I really like the new direction it takes.

I have read all of these ones, but am listening to the audio's of them now. Am on the first one. The narrator is really good. I forgot how much I like them!!

The sex in the first book bothered me too, but more on a I'm supposedly the ultimate professional, but I totally let my hormones get the best of me during a job thing that didn't work for me.
And the writing is a bit repetitive.
That being said, I still liked it much more than I was bothered by it.

Can you spoil me on what happens? I keep hearing that they get better, but I started reading the second and all the things that bugged me where still there (the assbutt detective and the constant: 'mmm' and references to eye colors) If I have something to look forward to it will keep me motivated :)

***Elemental Assassin Series (Spoiler)***
She tries with him again in book 2. It's one of those things where she's trying to hope he'll just get over it and then things would work. A lot of girls do that actually...hang on just in case. Anyway, she meets someone interesting in book 2 and then the first guy runs away essentially. Book 3 was great. I like the boy in book 3.

I agree with you there. When we met the guy in book 2 I wanted her to get rid of the other doofus right away!!
I'm anxiously awaiting ook 4. These are so much better than her superhero series. Then again, she wrote them when light and fluffy romances were all the rage.

I tried those and just couldn't get into them.
I had to force myself through them since I needed a J and an H book. Plus, I bought them thinking they'd be good. I felt like I had to read them after that.
