I'm reading
and its alright..if it doesn't get any better soon I'm gunna drop it. I guess I'm getting really picky about YA Paranormal
Carina wrote: "Oh really?? I hope it gets better cause I was planning on reading it on Feb, but let me know ;)"It IS good. I like the idea of it but it is nothing compared to books I have been reading. *Cough* Shadowfever
Haha, gotcha. But Im not really expecting many books to be as good as Shadowfever. That's asking for ALOT!

It's just..I like the idea of it..but the characters don't appeal to me. And if I don't like the characters then I don't like the book.

Britnee, you like fantasy right? http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I had to redo that review. It was killing me after my friends Amy and Terry have been trying to get people to read this series and I always chime in with, "yeah it's good...you should read it."
This series is so good. Book 1 only got a 4 star (which is still pretty decent), but I gave the other books in the series 5 stars.

Oh, wow it does look good! I'll have to check it out.
Ok so I have a question,I know that BDB is VERY adulty, but how about Tairen Soul and Shifters?
Chicagoland Series?
When I read the last book of Tairen Soul, I was just about as hyped as I was over Shadowfever. Maybe not quite as much, but pretty close. It sort of starts like Fever where each book gets better, but I still thought LotFL was a better first book than Darkfever.
BDB is Rated R - very steamy. I haven't read Demonica, but I think it's comparable? Isa would know.Tairen Soul is sort of a soft R. There are sex scenes, but not as graphic (or as frequent) as BDB and it feels more "sweet" because the couple is truemated, which is the equivilent of a marriage. They actually do wait to have sex until their marriage is official.
Shifters has a couple of sex scenes, but nothing real graphic, and not in every book. I think in the couple of books that have scenes, it's like one very brief mention and then that's it for the book. PG-13ish to mild R. It's maybe a slight step up from VA or HoN in content, but almost comparable. I'd actually recommend the books for 13 to 14 and up, whereas something like BDB or Night Huntress I'd say older teen.
Chicagoland has almost NOTHING in the first book. In fact, the main character doesn't do anything, but there's mentions of other people briefly hooking up without much detail It's PG-13 at the most, if that. Same with the second book. Book 3 is where it heats up a little bit but even that scene didn't barely breech an R rating. I'd also put this on par with a VA or HoN type of steam.
I'd say that Tairen Soul and Shifters are the better ones, but Chicagoland sort of reminds me of Vampire Academy. Merit and Rose could be sisters. BDB is my fallback when I can't think to process deep storylines.
I've read the second Demonica book
and it is definetly R, thats why Im holding of on reading BDB. Im just not in the mood for something so steamy right now. I feel like reading something sweeter so maybe I should start LotFL.But since
is one of my challenge books this month, I guess I'll just stick to this one..
Speaking of sisters...Faythe from Shifters could be Alina from Fever in disguise. She reminds me of Mac.
I'm really not into the whole demon thing, which is why I've never picked up Demonica. It just gives me the creeps. I started reading Succubus Blues because I wanted to try another series by Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy) and while the story has grabbed me from the start, I'm not really feeling the whole "demon stealing souls with sex" thing. It's a bit out there for me. But...I'm finding the story is actually sort of fun though, so we'll see how far I get.
I heard that the books didn't even start to get good until closer to the end, so that and the whole demon thing made it a no go for me. (oh and I'm not usually into books where it's only about being graphic, so I'm not sure why I like BDB so much. Maybe it's the hot vampires)Why waste time when I can go for something that peaks my interest earlier on?
I think I'll add Sucubus Blues too but probably wont read it for a while.My to-read list gets bigger and bigger, and I cant stop feeding it!!
I WILL get to Demon King by the end of the month. One of my friends is pounding it into my head to read it and says it's SO good. Plus, it's YA fantasy, and I haven't read one in a little bit.

Crikey, you guys did rabbit on didn't you? I missed a great conversation but I was reading Shadowfever so can I be excused? :-)Carina, I just read about a certain person, watching another certain person, kissing yet another certain person outside that certain person's store... YAY!!!
3 tax returns filed, now I can go back to reading.
Oooooh i know i know! Chapter 8, chapter 8!!!!Im seriously considering re-reading Shadowfever right now!!
Yes! I was rushing to know what would happen next and now I want to take in every detail and anything that I might have missed. =)
I'm currently reading
and then I'm going to dive into
. The second one isn't supposed to be released until February 1st, but I found it early at Books-A-Million! :D
Haha, yeah. Sirens, mermaids, I like 'em all. Just wish there were more books written about them, though. :)
