Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Finished Take Me On (Pushing the Limits, #4) by Katie McGarry last August 9, and really enjoyed it. At first, I wasn't so sure about West being a hero, but he turned out okay. 4 stars

Elizabeth (elizabeth_greece) | 1918 comments I read Crossing the Line (Pushing the Limits, #1.1) by Katie McGarry for Take Me On (Pushing the Limits, #4) by Katie McGarry on August 20. It was a really short and rather disappointing story. 2.5 stars.


message 753: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I finished The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater at the nick of time. It wasn't what I expected in a good way. I'm definitely reading the next in series.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List Challenge #197

I wanted to read Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy, #2) by Deborah Harkness but ended up reading Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2) by Anna Banks 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!

Just for the record, I did finish A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness ★★★½ on 9/8. I took off half of a star because it was so long, LOL!

message 764: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (vampiregoth28) | 265 comments Finished The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider . 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.


message 765: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I just finished Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 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*

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List Challenge #202

I 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!

message 774: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (vampiregoth28) | 265 comments Finished The Homecoming (Thunder Point, #6) by Robyn Carr for The Chance (Thunder Point, #4) by Robyn Carr . 4★. I really liked that both Iris and Seth are originally from Thunder Point, instead of two people who have moved there. That was a nice change.

message 776: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished Rosemary and Rue (October Daye #1) by Seanan McGuire for The Winter Long (October Daye, #8) by Seanan McGuire - 3.5 Stars. Although the mystery takes a back seat to the world building, the fae are intriguing and Toby is a likable heroine.

Didn't like it as much as the first. still looking forward to reading more of this series.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments Random Book List Challenge #207

I finished The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #12) by J.R. Ward 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!


message 779: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments 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 Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer 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*

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I read City of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments, #5) by Cassandra Clare and The Burning Sky (The Elemental Trilogy, #1) by Sherry Thomas for this list.

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments I finished Reaper's Stand (Reapers MC, #4) by Joanna Wylde 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*


message 792: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) | 2657 comments i finished Mortal Heart (His Fair Assassin, #3) by Robin LaFevers and Annith wasn't as compelling as the prior two heroines. It was still a 3.5 star

I finished reading Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1) by Richelle Mead 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!

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I read The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines, #4) by Richelle Mead [story is really picking up for this one, but not really pleased with the cliffhanger ending] and Reaper's Legacy (Reapers MC, #2) by Joanna Wylde [just like the first book, the characters can be annoying, but somehow I still kept reading....go figures]
