:D Updating now!

Looking forward to your review...it's a NEW2ME;)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Me too, Miss. I was going to read that one for my "Lifetime" challenge, but kept changing that list around and it got bumped off.

11/23/10 ★★★★★
Why did I put off reading this when it finally arrived? Perhaps because of the long wait until I can get my hands on the last volume (I might actually break down and buy the hardback...) I should have re-read the last pages at least of Faefever as I'd forgotten some crucial things about Halloween. I was annoyed by Dani at first, but was quickly sucked into the story again...and loved it (obviously from the 5 stars). I like the various levels of this world, and the characters fascinate and surprise me. I enjoy seeing how they develop. I also can't believe the cliffhanger ending of this! AGHH! Most definitely looking forward to Shadowfever!

[Miss]

Wow, Judithe, i must say i am itching to get my hands on that series, been like that for 2 years now, but... reading the reviews and knowing about the huge cliffhangers and the long waiting time between releases, i've tried to exercise some patience and wait till the last book comes out and read them all in one sitting. :) Any idea when that will be? I just can't wait, it will be quite a treat to have the entire series at the ready and not surface back to the real world till i've finished them all. I just might get a few days off work for this. :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sounds like a good plan, Miss. :)

Those are some serious cliffhangers. Last I heard, Shadowfever is due out in Jan, I believe.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Yep...the hardback edition. No word on the MMP, which is what I always buy (price, tuck-in-purse-ability and shelf space)...really wondering if I want to break down and spend the price of 2-3 books on that or not...

[Miss]

Just finished my book (11/24), The Darkangel, gave it 3 stars, but don't let that rating fool you, i enjoyed it a lot :), here is my review:

This book has both good and bad parts, but is overall a fascinating introduction to the trilogy, and sets the stage for the next two books. The worldbuilding is not very elaborate or detailed and while this makes for a fast, easy read, it is also confusing at times. For example, I only realised the action takes place on the Moon after another reviewer pointed it out, it read like a fantasy world to me at the beginning. The premise of the story is original and imaginative, but the writing style is pure YA, and thus a bit simplistic, with unformed and unilateral characters. This is Aeriel's coming of age story and she does grow, in stature and beauty, she becomes more selfassured, but, infuriatingly, she is very oblivious and sometimes downright dumb. I liked that the story was not centred on romance, although there is a promise of it..., it made the whole book feel cleaner, fresher, retaining it's childish wonder. I think it would have been a great book to have read in my teens.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Sounds very interesting! Great review :D


One little thing...Can you edit it to add your finish date?

[Miss]

Done :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Thanks! :D

This was a disappointing entry in the series. I never felt much of a connection to Decker or Dani. I also didn't understand the time they spent on their relationship when they were searching for Dani's sister. You would think she would be a little more worried about her. The villain is kind of sad and the ending isn't very satisfying. "

Finished 25/11 ****

Succubus Heat is the fourth instalment in the Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead.
This edition see’s Georgina sulking from a big break-up, and being out-sourced to Vancouver to assist the local Arch Demon in controlling the local dark group ‘Army of Darkness’.
When her home town Arch Demon, Jerome, mysteriously disappears she loses her life draining ways – and can live almost like a mortal until Jerome is found or someone takes his place. The investigating of Jerome is of course left up to Georgina.
I have to say I’m a massive fan of this series. I love Georgina’s lust for life (pardon the pun) – but I was so frustrated at her exploits while trying to find Jerome. I mean sure – take advantage of your stasis – but you don’t screw over people you love for a brief interlude....yeah - my hang-up – sorry for any offence caused! I was just disappointed and frustrated during that part.
Slight spoiler....I am glad to see Roman back. Ok – he may’ve been a bit evil and crazy in book 1 – but he’s kinda hot. Can’t wait to read book 5 just to see what happens to him. While I’m talking about the hot guys - I have to say I heart Carter – why can’t he have a raunchy spin off – similar to what Jeaniene Frost did for Spade and Mencheres.
Overall – an awesome book. I still love Georgina – and still will rush out to read the next editions as the come out.

[Miss]

I felt conflicted about the cheating part too, but i am in the Maddie-haters group. I dislike that woman with a passion, as much as anyone can a fictional character, lol, it just feels to me that she must have known what was going on when she first went after Seth, i mean nobody is that clueless! I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop when it comes to her.

[Miss]

Hope i didn't spoil it for anyone, i think it was in the book blurb anyway. Ups:)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL...now I'm dying for the full story and only on book 2! Gotta find a way to bump that up on the reading list!

[Shannon]

I know what you mean Miss - I was pleading in my mind that she wouldn't do it - or continue it - but spose that's the problem with books...
Got to say - I'm a bit in the grey zone with Maddie - don't particularly like her, but don't hate her either. She's just there... And I agree - how can she have no idea at all - but then maybe she just is wrapped up in 'new love' and all that. I've been cheated on - and was clueless. I think sometimes its easy to fool yourself and ignore the obvious when you're in situations like that. So in that way, I can understand her not bringing it up.
Judith - keep going :) - its a great series. I'm still wishing Carter will get more airtime - and Roman is definitely on my radar in book 5.

[Jen (jlkish)]

For the SUPERNATURAL-ROMANCE slot:

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare ****/5 finished 11/26/10

This book was pretty good, although I did prefer City of Bones more... I don't want to spoil that book for anyone who hasn't read it, but a relationship issue going on between 2 of the characters in this book squicks me out a bit, which might be why I prefer the 1st. That said, I'm looking forward to reading City of Glass soon.

[Miss]

Yeah, I'm sure I've been clueless about those things too (like boyfriends cheating), but what I meant was that Maddie was their friend long before she first went out with Seth, and she must have sensed the sparks flying between him and Georgina and still she went for him. And after that, I find it hard to believe that she didn't connect with Georgina's heartache, either she did and she enjoyed rubbing it in, or she didn't and she is so selfinvolved that she makes a very bad friend anyway. Nevertheless, what Georgina did was not so great either... Can't wait for book 6 to come out!

[Miss]

Jen, great review, keep reading, the third book is even better. Also, loved The Clockwork Angel, which is the prequel to this series.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]
