BUT if you want some male POV's go for Beautiful Creatures (Kami Garcia?)...
Youll still love Patch
Haha. I don't remember names that well too(: but okay. Yeah..I wanted to read that book too! I will after I finish the...10 books I have left to read. Hehe

I don't know..Fallen wasn't..the best /: I think I like HoN more than that. But I'll still read it..OH! Lol, didn't see that part(: Yeah, Blood and Chocolate is a good book. I even saw the movie, hehe.

Fallen was kinda boring for the first 2/3 of the book, then the last 1/3 was pretty good. I'll probably end up purchasing Torment because of our other group doing it as a monthly read for Oct.
I always ask if people like Fallen better or Hush, Hush better and it seems to be split. Some people like both equally, some like Fallen and dislike Hush, Hush, and some like Hush, Hush and dislike Fallen.
After sitting on the fence about whether or not to read the book, I figure I might as well just do it to satisfy my own curiosity.
Beautiful Creatures was good, but I think Ethan sounds a little bit like a girl. It didn't make me like the book any less though.
I think it's very hard for a female author (in this case 2 female authors collaborating) to convincingly write from a male PoV. They did an alright job at making him likeable, so that's really what counts in the end.

As to Fallen vs Hushhush... I didnt like them equally... Hushhush was way better. :) Im invested though so Im reading both their sequels... :)
Good to know. I'd be happy if it was better than Fallen, since Fallen wasn't the best of the year.If Mrs. Brightside and I end up reading it and a few others have read the thing, maybe we can convince Aiyanna to make a discussion folder for the series. It's weird because I thought there was one already but couldn't find it.

..Aww): but she should. I'm happy we'll be reading it together! Haha(: the book looks really pretty too.
HushHush is awesome! One of my favs and alot better than Fallen in my opinion. There should definetly be a discussion abouy this series, especially since the sequel is coming ouy soon !!!
Maaaaaannnn. I need to hurry and finish some books. I'm starting to get my story lines backwards because I'm reading like five right now. -_-

Haha, really? It was SO slow that I started skimming the pages! ...Then I started skipping..ugh, it was a waste of time):
Miranda wrote: "really? Yeah, shess, like, describing her Cherokee nature -_- Its just weird."

*Mrs.Brightside* wrote: "Lol, I thought the same thing! I personally think it doesn't get any better /: it's..boring!

O gosh, are you serious?! Ugghhh..hopefully I won't be skipping pages..hehe, I skipped some pages in Untamed, but only a few! Lol

"I enjoyed this series. stick with it im sure you will like it.
I thought HoN was a really fun, quick read. It isn't super intense or serious. Good for the beach or on a plane.

lol its true lol i was zoey for halloween last year too i had a henna mark and every thing wow i sound lame lmao i re-read the series each time a new book comes out
People call me a nerd just because I can finish a 500 page book in one day. YOU on the other hand is waaaay past the nerd point(: lol
My sisters freaked out when i read Eclipse in 20 hours non-stop but I have to tell them about you Aiyanna cause you leave me in the dust lol!!
lol yea i am and im not alone all my friends dressed up from the HoN books to so *sticks out tongue* lol
I don't feel like I read as fast as I used to which sucks because I used to read like you guys which is pretty much a book a day. I don't get it. :( I think it's because when I read, its like a movie plays in my head and I'm oblivous to actually reading it, I just see the picture in my head.
