Still trying to decide what I am going to read.

Thanks for mentioning it Kim :)
Yz will replace that title with another one that has already been released.

Thanks Kim and Fran for the heads up. I changed the book.



Finally a solid installment in a series that has been mostly uninspired. Alicia and Garrett's romance is sweet without any unnecessary angst. I can only hope that this positive trend will continue in the next book.



Finished 7/26. I listened to the audiobook and I kept hearing Mercy Thompson (same narrator). I also didn't get the fascination with Reyes, who wasn't real until the end. I will read book 2 before I decide if I will continue with this series, but I don't see the fuss.
One more issue, if Charley is the Grim reaper, shouldn't she be going to people who are alive and taking their soul...as opposed to ghosts coming to her for help?

Sorry you weren't that awed by Charley - she can be an acquired taste. Hope the next one is better for you.

I read

I also love Lorelei King's narration - she does the voices so well and she makes Charley's humor really comes to life.



I will give Charley another try. I thought I would try read the ebook instead of listening to book 2, to see if it would make a difference

This series is really coming into its own. I enjoy the world building, the action scenes and the secondary characters. Harry is also growing on me like a fungus.






I read A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare and it was awesome! I think this is one of my favorite regency romance novels EVER! It was historical without overwhelming you with details. I loved the dialogue between the main characters, they were witty and clever! 5 stars!




Trying to translate Gideon's lies was actually amusing. For instace, when he tells Scarlet that she is so ugly (when he means beautiful).
Reading for the opposite was interesting

Male lead was a bit stalkerish/creepy to me but book was a quick read and I loved Rainbow Rowell's writing style. If you are looking for unusual chick-lit novel, check it out. :)
