I could not get enough of it. It was the best so far for me. The drag queens were great as well. I posted on Karen Chance this morning on the Were-Love group site. Is there gonna be another book in that series?..."

I'm so glad you liked Curse the Dawn! And can we officially count you in Camp Pritkin?

Karen Chance has planned a total of 9 Cassie books and 5 Dory books. Unfortunately she had an health issue so the publishing date of Cassie #5 was set back to the summer of 2011 (in stead of 2010...the nerve!).

Anyway, to ease our pain she's posting short stories on her website every three months. She's going to write one for Francoise, Mircea and (probably) Louis-Cesare. She is now posting Pritkin's short and Marlowe's will be up next. In between she will be publishing a short for Dory. (Did you read the Tomas short?)

And Lynn: you're going to love Dory! I think I might even love her more than Cassie.
Dory is a bit more dark and cynical but she's engaging and funny. And Louis-Cesare is just yummy...
And you'll love the sequel Death's Mistress. It must be the funniest Chance book.

Desperado (lethallovely) | 453 comments Thank you Annvelwis & Ahrcadia for your advice on Lilith Saintcrow.I might have to bite the bullet & read Jill Kismet though bc there is only one copy of Working for the Devil at the library (all others were weeded,dirty bastards) & i'm like number 5 on the list so I may not get it until after the challenge deadline.

Her House of Night series is ok. Some of the later books in the series really start to feel sluggish. And I highly recommend NOT reading her Divine series. Horrible!! The 1st book was just eh, but the other 2... omg it was like a root canal without novocaine! (I actually had to read all 3 of the Divine series for my paranormal bookclub, and I was the only 1 out of the 6 of us that read all 3. Such a waste of time!)

Really? I'm having slight troubles staying focused on it. But as with any first book of the series ..."


I found I was waiting throughout the entire book for something to actually happen, and when it finally did, it was the end. so now I'm torn between do I really want to see what happens, and do I really want to waste my time for something not to happen all over again. I recommend Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I felt it was much more attention keeping and overall interesting. It's a stand-alone I believe so it wraps up nicely. Although if the author felt like making a sequel, she could work with it.

Cher, I started Minion and got about 50 pages in I think. (I read it like 2 years ago), and I just could NOT get into it. The story was sub-par, the characters weren't that interesting, and the language was atrocious. I hate the use of slang onstantly in my books. VERY annoying.

LMAO.The last book I read by her was a spin-off of the Divine series(goddess summoning i think) & i made a pretty bad comment about it on one of the threads.I think it was "Goddess of Spring by P. C. Cast.I though "ooh,sexy romance with Hades,lord of the Underworld" but it was so sickly sweet that I felt like I needed to check my glucose levels after reading it.Not to mention the sex scenes were so purply.I'm a grown ass woman.I can take explicit sexoring,not just "He fell on top of her & there was a rainbow explosion of ecstasy" fade into black."

So I'm more than likely gonna give up on her romances & stick with the not as bad "House of Night" series.

I really tried to get into that series but I was too lingo-y and hard to believe. It never breathed for me. Now i have started the werewolf series by her and I like it better. Maybe the Minion series improves, but I am not investing more effort into it. I read the first two books and gave up on the third.

I LOVE Lilith Saint Crows books. I read the Dante series first and it totally hooked me. I will say that by the time she writes the Kismet series, her writing has become smoother, but the world she creates in Kismets series is so vibrant and deeply thoughtful...I love that series best. FYI, it is 1500 years in the future of an parrellel world.

Oh don't take my word for it.I'm sure it appeals to some readers.I just like my romance smoking hot & sweaty; not bumping uglies through a hole in the sheet. You should definitely give Goddess of Spring a try & if u don't like it,you can always chuck it and move on.

I am sorry, I misspoke. The Dante Valentine series is the one that is futureistic. The Jill Kismet is the one that is a parrellel world in contemporary times. Now on a side note, the watcher series is in the same world as Dante's , but in contemporary times. It more paranormal romance.

Dante Valentine's world is gritty, tough bloody and a goddess driven world.

I was weak too, but for now it's staying on my list because I have no doubt I'll end up re-reading it before the end of the month!"


Ooh, I like that idea Kelley Anne, as I've just bought the audiobook and will probably listen to it this month to "re-read" it slower. =)

And yes, I just got a shipping notification on The Reckoning the other day. I'm very much looking forward to that one.

Kelley Anne | 286 comments DarkHeart - That's exactly what I'm doing! I raced through my first read of it. Then I downloaded the audiobook and I'll be listening to it again in a few days. First though I want to get through the Kelley Armstrong series again. I have WAY too many books to re-read over the next month and a half what with all of these great new releases coming!!!
