I can't really say what was missing in Devious Minds. The idea was good but the execution needed more polish. All characters felt unfinished and like they couldn't decide what type of person they wanted to be.

The Cinderella Murder by Mary Higgins Clark - 6/8/16 ♥♥♥♥

I suspect the next in this series will continue in the same vein.



Ok I'm listening to

I read this in 2014, from memory I enjoyed learning about the brothers who had beeen introduced in the sea haven series, but the book itself was quite repetitive. I do have to be in the mood for CF.


Now I went right into book 2




Now I went right into book 2

I am glad you ended up enjoying it.


Now I went right into book 2

It has those things I like: Russians, special ops training, special powers, innocent love

I finished reading Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella and gave it 4 stars. I really enjoyed this book, the main character has Social Anxiety Disorder and I really liked how they made this mental illness relatable. I liked her brother who is a huge "LOC" gamer, which is probably a reference to World of Warcraft. I'm a huge WoW player so that was funny!



I am afraid for me this is 2.5 * at best. The sex scenes were very long and graphic, and not to my taste. I did enjoy the plot line but the degree and description of violence was worthy of a dark mystery thriller. The level of violence has escalated with each book in the series.

You don't have the read the exact book, if the book is from a series. For example: for 'Born of Legend by Sherrilyn Kenyon', you can read any book from 'The League' series.
Hope I helped. :)





I always find it so fascinating how different all our tastes are. I found Origins dark and deeply disturbing. I think a sequel would probably dispell a lot of that, but apparently there isn't going to be one.

I have to admit when I looked at the star ratings and some of the reviews here on Goodreads, I was a bit discouraged. But I decided to just read it because I love most of Ilona Andrews' books. The beginning was a bit hard for me, but once I'd settled into it, I enjoyed the crazy ride. :)




ThatEZi or anyone else, Have you started this one?
I have been umming and ahhing about this book from when Yz first put up the list. I was so disappointed in

Yes, I have started



Therein lies my dilemma. I really enjoyed the first 4 in the series and felt so let down by #5. I will be interested to see what you think =^..^=

I have liked them so far. I loved the Ghostwalker series but couldn't stomach the Dark Carpathians.
I will try to finish up ShadowRider in the next couple of days and let you know

I thought it was quite good. I particularly liked the mystery element that the story had. Another aspect I liked was that the heroine was actually looking for a husband but still had a strong will. A light read for a summer afternoon.

Thanks Aminiko =^..^=

I finished reading Origins by Ilona Andrews and really enjoyed it! I gave it five stars and according to Goodreads this is a series but so far this is all she's got out at the moment. I really hope she expands on this universe because it was good!

Yz - Bridal Jitters 8/9 ***
Yz - After Dark 8/13 ****
yz - After Glow 8/16 ****




Suzanne - Seventh Grave and No Body 8/15
Connie N. - Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet 9/5 ****









I finished reading Seventh Grave and No Body by Darynda Jones and it was ok. I think this book pushed the believe-ability and seemed like the author is just going a bit over board with the story line.


Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones - 9/5/16 ♥♥♥♥
What fun--plenty of action and lots of laughs. Not to mention the sexy Reyes.
