I haven't read her other series, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I will say that this one is a quick read, the font is huge, margins big, and line spacing big too. I whipped through 175 pages in 45 minutes. So far it is pretty good.
I haven't read it either. Maybe if I like it I will read the other series as well. I hate when books do that. I don't mind fast reads, but I don't like it when it's deceiving. Oh well, maybe I'll use it in a challenge.
I finished Carpe Jugulum and liked it. I didn't really want to read about vampires in a book with Granny, Nanny, Magrat, and Agnes in it. I knew there would be some harm done before the book was over. I love those witches! I have started Maskerade.

It reminds me of Kate Daniels in the way the books just get better and better (same can be said for The Mortal Instruments series)."That's not the way it's been for me, because I liked CV #1 and hated CV #2. Haven't read the 3rd one yet simply because I don't really feel like it right now. I've had my fill of cliches for a while now.
Started Cold Copper Tears, and rereading Bloody Bones. Bloody Bones is turning out to be better than I remember it.

I loved the third one. It had a lot more action and a more interesting plot (IMO anyway).

I ended up liking this one. I have not read her other series, but now am intrigued by what I saw in this one.
Currently reading

Like I said, I don't like how cliched it's getting. The love triangle is the same as the one in VA, Shifters, and so many other series. It's irritating and I hate how Merit's been acting recently towards Morgan and her ex-roommate (forgot her name ///). And most of all, I hate how Merit's been lusting after Ethan and that makes her come across as really weak imo. It's one thing to lust after a character and completely another to actually act on that lust and Ethan is so annoying with his messed-up sense of duty and courtesy. Basically, I can't stand the main characters, and that's what makes me dislike this series.
Oh good Darcy, I am glad you liked it. Lazuline, that is funny because the reasons you say you don't like Merit are the same reasons I can't stand Georgina in the succubus series, lol. That's what makes the world go around. I think it's interesting to see everyones different opinions.
I started
and
. Only about 100 pages into sisters red, but I really like it so far.
Finished up Bleak History which was an interesting book, but need more development. I'm starting Night Watch by Terry Pratchett now.

That's wha..."I've noticed lots of people hate Georgina, and I don't really love her either. But the plot itself is captivating and mostly I'm just curious as to where Mead's taking this series. Other than that, though, I have a love-hate relationship with every character in the series, but that's what makes the series interesting imo.
Finished rereading Bloody Bones, and The Killing Dance. Started rereading Burnt Offerings. Still 'reading' Cold Copper Tears. The Anita Blake books have my full attention right now, even though I know what happens. Well, most of what happens.
Just started reading
.It sounds interesting though he's a British writer, and for whatever reason, I have a hard time getting into their writing style.
It's been a little since I updated. This week, I finished
All three are good. Love, loved Veil of Shadows and Mockingjay was a fitting ending to the Hunger Games trilogy.
I just started
. Eve Silver is fantastic, and I'm pretty excited for this one.
2185963 Just finished Raised by Wolves (Raised by Wolves, #1)Loved it!
just started Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1)
it's been on TBR list forever
About two-thirds of the way through
. Kind of a slow start -- lots of world-building -- but after the half-way mark things really pick up. I'm really enjoying it now.

I'm reading Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter by A.E. Moorat
.I haven't read any of the Pride & Prejudice & Zombies or Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters or the book where Abraham Lincoln is a Vampire Slayer. It's fun, so far.
Hi Everyone ~I just joined yesterday, so this is my first post.
I'm reading Four And Twenty Blackbirds by Cherie Priest and enjoying it.
A few of my favorite UF authors are Adrian Phoenix (A Rush of Wings and that series); Simon R. Green's Nightside series; and J.F. Lewis's series that begins with Staked.
I read just about any genre and like to mix it up. After reading tons of PNR the last few years, I've kinda hit the wall and am looking for non-romance reads for awhile.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and sharing our 2 cents on books and authors :-)
Rereading
Just started
I must be in stellar man mode because it is all about Roarke (sex rich man), Curran (sexy shifter man) and Raphael (sexy angel man)
I'm reading
and loving it. I've read 170/ 567 pages and I just picked up five books from the library and have three more to pick up...
Yes, I agree about Naamah's Curse, Julia. It's the best novel by Jacqueline Carey that I've read in some time and is a candidate for my top ten of 2010.I'm currently readingIllyriaby Elizabeth Hand, a YA novel that won the World Fantasy Award.
I'm currently reading Dead To me I have no idea if I'll like it.. The concept of psychometry doesn't exactly thrill me. Still I'll read at least half to give it a chance :)

You should read Naked in Death. Im not sure if that's the first in the series but Eve is great, so is Roarke. Then youve got Ian and Peabody ~ at first they are at each others throats then later...
I love that series! :)
