Yodamom I finished Shadowfever (Fever, #5) by Karen Marie Moning WOW, I don't know what I am going to pick up now, it was so fantastic, any book would pale behind it.


message 1004: by Ladiibbug (new)

Ladiibbug JF Patient Zero, #1 Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry. UF, super entertaining, 4.5 stars ... exciting combination of military/cover ops thriller, terrorists, mad scientists, "weaponized" bioterror substance that turns people into zombies.

Reread two non-UF favorites: 44 Scotland Street, first in this fun, quirky series by Alexander McCall Smith; and Dexter by Design, #4 Dexter Morgan series by Jeff Lindsay.

Next Up: You Suck, #2 Love Story series by Christopher Moore


message 1005: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) I finally finished the short story books Dates From Hell, Holidays Are Hell and Prom Nights from Hell. They have been laying around half read. I didn't think that any of the stories were bad. Some = good and others = so so, light reading. I think I'll start on Hotter Than Hell. I continue to read Linger

message 1010: by Kristen (new)

Kristen (kristen8) | 46 comments I'm trying to rationalize getting Moning's Shadowfever in hardcover even though it won't match my paperbacks of the previous 4 books- is that neurotic or what?

I concur. I'm waiting for the next one in the Mercy novels on March 1st to come out and was wondering what else is a good urban paranormal read while I wait. Any suggestions?


message 1021: by Ruby (new)

Ruby Hollyberry | 30 comments I like the Mercy Thompson series as well, and recommend it to everyone along with Devon Monk's Allison Beckstrom series, Carrie Vaughn's Kitty the Werewolf series, Seanan McGuire's new series about half-elf October Daye, and with some reservations, anything by Yasmine Galenorn

message 1025: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (bexsi) I have finished Lover Awakened Lover Awakened (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #3) by J.R. Ward The Third book in this excellent series is the best yet. Zsadist was amazing. 5 Stars
Spider's Bite Spider's Bite (Elemental Assassin, #1) by Jennifer Estep I would definitely recommend this book as a sexy, sassy read, especially if you're looking for the type of book where the female lead is strong, autonomous, smart and sexy. 3 Stars

Darkfever Darkfever (Fever, #1) by Karen Marie Moning Darkfever is the first novel in the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. This book is full of mystery, revenge and tension. If you're looking for a fantastic supernatural tale that doesn't degenerate into an orgy, this might just be the one for you dont judge this book by it cover. 4 stars

Bitten & Smitten Bitten & Smitten (Immortality Bites, Book 1) by Michelle Rowen They story is utterly captivating and fun. The heroine is very easy-going and she made me wonder numerous of times, if it is actually possible to keep such a cold head under such "disturbing" circumstances. I enjoyed reading this book immensely, and would definitely recommend it to paranormal romance/mystery fans.
4 stars
Tempting the Beast Tempting the Beast (Breeds, #1)  by Lora Leigh I like erotic fiction as much as the next person, and this series had real potential but it transcended a lot of the boundaries I'd previously read. This was the first Lora Leigh book I've read, and I was looking forward to trying something different, but now I won't be in any real hurry to rush out and read the rest of this series, unfortunately, unless they're a marked improvement from book one!. 3 stars for the plot

I am now reading The Iron Daughter The Iron Daughter (Iron Fey, #2) by Julie Kagawa and A Hunger Like No Other A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, #2) by Kresley Cole and still reading The Hollow by Jessica Verday The Hollow

Julia | 615 comments I am reading and enjoying Rampant (Killer Unicorns, #1) by Diana Peterfreund which is in the same universe as the author's delightful "The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Killer Unicorn" (or something) from Zombies vs. Unicorns by Holly Black .

In Rampant Astrid is a unicorn slayer-- who knew they needed slaying? Diana Peterfreund!

Kate  (Kate1) | 14 comments Just finished Fang (Maximum Ride, #6) by James Patterson and now I am waiting for my copy of The Iron Witch (The Iron Witch Saga, #1) by Karen Mahoney . Should have been here yesterday, but the German mailing company is a bit slow these days -.-

Tiphaine | 60 comments Currently reading Hollowland by Amanda Hocking and enjoying it a lot


message 1032: by John (new)

John Dunphy (johnwdunphy) | 6 comments Just picked up Play Deadlatest in the Mason and Lou series. It's quick and I think Levitt's getting a little too into the alternate worlds aspect of the storyline, but fun as usual.


message 1033: by SonataReader (new)

SonataReader (readernotwriter) | 3 comments Nevermore I really like how this book is moving.


message 1034: by Shelley (new)

Shelley Recently finished with: Killbox (Sirantha Jax, #4) by Ann Aguirre - really good book (4th in the series) - Sirantha is now in my top 5 female characters category.

Tempting Danger (World of the Lupi, #1) by Eileen Wilks - Was alright, but nothing to write to mother about.

Nightshade (Nightshade, #1) by Andrea Cremer - Is a wonderful YA book with mysteries around every corner, plus a wee bit of romance thrown in.

Dreamfever (Fever, #4) by Karen Marie Moning - Can I just say that I truly hate cliffhangers? Other than that, excellent book to read.

Next up: Storm Born (Dark Swan, #1) by Richelle Mead - Current
City of Ghosts (Downside Ghosts, #3) by Stacia Kane ; Night Star (The Immortals, #5) by Alyson Noel and Queen of Shadows (Shadow World, #1) by Dianne Sylvan

Serena | 9 comments I started off reading both Dark Needs at Night's Edge (Immortals After Dark, #5) by Kresley Cole and First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1) by Darynda Jones . (its weird but its my usual pattern lol) anyway..I'm enjoying both but Darynda Jones new book ensnared me lol(I highly recommend it). And so, I will be finishing up the other book next.

Jessica (imahoodieninja) | 80 comments Reading Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning like a crack addict


message 1038: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin (beniowa79) I just finished Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch. It was pretty good, especially for a debut novel. I'll definitely be reading more of this series.


message 1039: by Jessie (new)

Jessie | 61 comments NOTHING! I read the Hunger Games as part of the challenge, and then had to read the rest of the trilogy straight away. It consumed me and I ignored everything but work so I have to take a break and not get engrossed in another book for a bit so my boyfriend doesn't hate me!!! :)


message 1040: by Becca (new)

Becca (goblinfan) | 215 comments If he really cared, Jessie, he'd buy you more books. LOL


message 1041: by Jessie (new)

Jessie | 61 comments Ha Ha! Thanks Becca. I was curled up with in a fleece blanket, with my pup and my book for hours after work and he would sit on the couch next to me and pout saying "You don't need me...you have your blankie, your puppy and your book"....LOL Poor guy! :)


message 1042: by Paula (new)

Paula (pauldajo) I started reading The Golden Compass and Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie again. I put Ballad down about a year ago. I think I was burned out on the Faerie/Fae theme. I am more accepting this time around. I had deserted 'The Golden Compass' in order to read new books from other favored authers. I am enjoying both books.


message 1043: by Julia (new)

Julia | 615 comments Clearly Jessie,

You need to get him a blankie and a book and possibly a puppy so you two can read together.

I've finished Ascendant (and my husband finished Ethan of Athos (Vorkosigan Saga, #6) by Lois McMaster Bujold ) and I'm reading Unquiet Dreams (Connor Grey, #2) by Mark Del Franco .

message 1048: by Kathyjacks (new)

Kathyjacks I just finished the Chicagoland Vampires yesterday and started the Downside Ghost series by Stacia Kane. I loved the Chicagoland Vampires and can't wait for the 4th book to come out but this Downside Ghost series is really weird. I can't seem to get into it and only made it to chapter 2 so far.

The Kate Daniels series does get so much better as the series goes on . I really grew to love Kate and some of the other characters in the series. The Mercy Thompson series was great too. I just hate waiting for the other books in the series to come out.


message 1050: by Kate (new)

Kate  (Kate1) | 14 comments Finished Flecks of gold, now I'm starting Halo (Halo, #1) by Alexandra Adornetto . I have really too many books with/about angels on my to read shelf :D
