I finished

Random Book List Challenge #197I wanted to read
but ended up reading
instead.I didn't care for the first one at all, but this one was a lot better for some reason. I just felt like the characters were more flushed out and the plot was better. I'll probably continue with the series now that they've gotten better :)
4 Stars!

★★★½ on 9/8. I took off half of a star because it was so long, LOL!
Finished
. 4½ ★. It really wasn't what I expected; although the drama was about what I expected it to be. I think anything else I say would be a spoiler.
I just finished
and it was really good. I'm hopeful enough to think that the end was just a new beginning...sappy I know. But, I think I have to believe that. *4 STARS*
Random Book List Challenge #202I finished reading The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black and gave it ****. This was a pretty good Horror Vampire novel, it was YA but not in an annoying way. The characters were snarky and realistic and the universe was unique and interesting. I would definitely recommend it!
I finished
just now. I liked it - the world was very interesting. I didn't want to put the book down. I highly recommend it too.
I read
3 stars and
4 stars for this list.Just like Sass, I'm hoping that the end of Eleanor & Park is just the beginning... *sigh*

Finished
for
- 3.5 Stars. Although the mystery takes a back seat to the world building, the fae are intriguing and Toby is a likable heroine.
I read A Local Habitation in place of The Winter Long - ★★★ 10 nov 14Didn't like it as much as the first. still looking forward to reading more of this series.
Random Book List Challenge #207I finished
for this week and really liked it! I liked reading about Wrath and Beth again, I like seeing how they're relationship has evolved throughout the storyline. Five Stars!
OH NO! I thought I posted this on 11/7/14. I guess it doesn't matter but I forgot to push post. anyway:I finished
today (11/7/14) and it was interesting. I was a little let down when I found out just how messed up the main character was, but I guess it was fitting in the story. It was a very interesting premise, and I did think that the author did a good job with it. *4 STARS*

I finished
for
on 11/23 and gave it 3.5 stars. I didn't enjoy it as much as the prior books, but good story nonetheless
I finished
and it was awesome. I loved the drama and intrigue. The sex didn't hurt ether. the bonus epilogue was so fantastic. I really this isn't the end of the Reapers. I know that the author is making a spin off, but I want more of these guys. *4 STARS*
I requested Grave Mercy from my library in both the hardcover and kindle editions and my turn still hasn't come up so I never got to it. :(

Ezinwanyi~the Troublemaker wrote: "Kindle unlimited (which I cancelled after my free month)"Now why didn't I think of that? Great idea to enjoy the free trial!
Random Book List Challenge #212I finished reading
and really enjoyed it! I was hoping there would be a little more Rose but I'm ok with that storyline being closed. I could've done without the "let's recap our entire other series before we get into this one" but I understand why. Adrian was one of my favorite characters in the Vampire Academy books so I'm glad we get more of him. I know I'll like the next book better but I'll still give this one four stars!
I read
[story is really picking up for this one, but not really pleased with the cliffhanger ending] and
[just like the first book, the characters can be annoying, but somehow I still kept reading....go figures]
