message 1101: by TheThirdLie (new)

TheThirdLie Faefever is my current book. Picking it up right after Darkfever and I really appreciate that it just picks up right where that one left off. Same scene and everything. =]


.. I do wish the rape wasn't so prevalent in this series. It doesn't make it more gritty or mature.

Jk, that's what I've been saying alot lately. I am not sure what the deal with writers and their clear obsession with rape is. It turns me off, and leads me to rate books alot lower if the scene was left off.

TheThirdLie I would definitely be loving this series a lot more if the concept wasn't being thrown around so much. Or if it weren't being made out to be acceptable.

It can really add a deep level of emotion or whatnot to a book or character, but it shouldn't be thrown around so much and trivialized. It's not something to scoff at.


message 1104: by Shelley (new)

Shelley Especialy if you are a survivor, and certain aspects of what a writer puts on paper, actually happened to you. I've often wondered it other survivors feel the same way, or am I just losing my patience with said topic.

I can't even imagine what it must be like for y'all. =[ I don't think it's a lack of patience either. I think it's justifiable to be upset with the way authors are treating it these days, especially if you've had to endure it yourself.

Christen, which posts (msg #s) are you concerned about? I will delete the posts since they don't have spoiler warnings.

Whitney (whitneychakara) | 188 comments I didnt even see anything that would ruin the plot of any books but maybe I missed it. :0

Are you talking about Shelley and my posts? They aren't spoilers. No more a spoiler than knowing that Mac is the main character of the Fever series. We were talking about a growing trend in books, which started out because of a comment about Fever, but it doesn't spoil anything at all.


Christen (GoldiloxReads) | 36 comments Hi ladies - my mistake! I was thinking of another book I think. Thank you for being willing to delete spoiler posts though. Please continue your discussion!!! :-/

Becca (goblinfan) | 215 comments Well, there were some rough spots but I really liked the humor. Overall it was pretty good. Then again, I've had some bad luck lately with picking books to read. I hope you like it, Tasula.

Midnight Sun Midnight Sun (Twilight, #5) by Stephenie Meyer I loved the story from Edwards point of view. 5 Stars

My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding (Includes Dark-Hunter, #9.1; Sookie Stackhouse, #6.1) by P.N. Elrod There is not enough here that stands out, Maybe it's a case of trying to cram too many authors in to one book. 3 stars
A Great and Terrible Beauty A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle, #1) by Libba Bray The writing was gorgeously elaborate great, but sometimes so elaborate I didn't actually know what was going on. 3 stars
and I have started Glimmerglass Glimmerglass (Faeriewalker, #1) by Jenna Black Bloody Tower: The Diary of Tilly Middleton, London 1553-1559 Bloody Tower The Diary of Tilly Middleton, London 1553-1559 (My Story) by Valerie Wilding and Slave to Sensation Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh

Christen (GoldiloxReads) | 36 comments Ok, so for you Guild Hunters fans...I'm trying to read Angels' Blood but I can't really get into it. Does it just start a little slow? Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1) by Nalini Singh

For me it was really slow. Keep reading if you think by page 100 it hasn't gotten any better it might not be the book for you.

Glad to hear, I love this series and am waiting for this one to release so I can read the last two together with no waiting. Rardin was such a great writer.
