[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Finished on New Year's Eve. I enjoyed the wit and the snarkiness of the writing. As usual, Alexia is one capable heroine, whether dealing with deadly vampires, fanatic Templars and an inebriated werewolf husband. I give it 4 stars.

[Yvonne]

I might read "A Monster Calls", it's been on my list for a while. Or maybe the Ellen Degeneres book

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Heartless - ★★★★ - 31 Dec 12 (instead of Changeless)

Alexia, instead of relaxing and waiting for her baby to be born, is running all over London trying to figure out who is plotting against the queen. She learns something interesting about Ivy -- two things, really. And, surprisingly, something about Lyall that made me stop and think.

[Makenzie]

Just finished in place of , and I loved the book. It was such a unique story dealing with such an illness at a time when any form of autism would be considered insanity. Great story! 4 stars!

And may I just say I can't wait to get to Cam's story!

I read and I enjoyed it. I read the first book in this series a year ago and it seemed pretty similar. It was nice to have a "gypsy" character because that satisfies a favorite challenge of mine :)

I read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot and it was awesome! It was a sad story and the medical lingo was a bit confusing, but I really enjoyed it. Definately worth getting through the cell culture and medical law history.

[Fran, Moderator]

Finished today 3/24. I liked it but didn't love it. I really enjoyed all of the secondary characters and their stories but I just couldn't warm up to the heroine, Keri. She seemed shallow and I didn't see much growth. 3.5*

[Elizabeth]

Finished for today, 3/25/2013, nothing special, probably the worst of the series so far, 2.5 stars
