I hope you like it Yvonne :)

It's intense in parts.


message 504: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (selana) I just finished "Angelfall" and give it 4 stars. Not at all what I expected but in a good way. The worst I can say about it is that it was over too soon - and that it will be a pain to wait for the next one to be published.

message 508: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) I'm going to read Caressed By Ice (Psy-Changeling, #3) by Nalini Singh for 'Kiss of Snow'.


message 509: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (selana) I think I'm going to read Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1) by Patricia Briggs since I have read other books by Patricia Briggs and liked them

Be sure to read the novella in the anthology On the Prowl before reading Cry Wolf . It is an introduction to the Alpha & Omega series.

Mandy Beyers (mandybeyers) | 763 comments I think I'll read Tiger's Curse since I have it :)

Fran | 12278 comments I think I will go with Hunting Lila.


message 514: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) I finished Caressed By Ice for 'Kiss of Snow' by Nalini Singh ☆☆☆☆
It was a quick read. Good book - worse than first but better than second IMHO. :)


message 515: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (selana) I have read Alpha & Omega: A Companion Novella to Cry Wolf and Cry Wolf this weekend and really enjoyed them. 4 stars for both of them, even if there are a few repetitive bits in both books. Really, things don't have to be explained several times in every story to the reader. Otherwise a great read and I'm glad that I read the introduction first, a lot of the story wouldn't have made much sense otherwise


message 516: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments I finished Hunting Lila today 8/15th.

This book is a fun, fast-paced, cheesy, slightly embarrassing to be into it so much, good time. Aside from Lila's over the top obsessive thoughts about Alex that dominated too much of the beginning of the story, I really enjoyed this YA bit of fluff. It was hard to put down and I'm going to read the next one.

What can I say, I am a sucker for a teenage crush mixed with light paranormal activity and that said crush and crushee fleeing for their lives ;)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I forgot to post this, but I finished Tangle of Need (Psy-Changeling, #11) by Nalini Singh for Kiss of Snow last Aug. 22.

As usual, Singh did not disappoint. It feels like a second Hawke/Sienna book.

Read Branded by Fire (Psy-Changeling, #6) by Nalini Singh for Kiss of Snow on 8/13

sigh. I keep waiting for this series to WOW me like her Guild Hunters series, but I'm just not getting it. Sometimes I can't believe the same author writes both sets, there is such a marked difference between the overall tone and style from each series. This one was actually better than the previous few, but really, I'm just trying to get through until I can read Kiss of Snow. I'm dreading the next few books...

I finished reading Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1) by Patricia Briggs and really enjoyed it! I liked to see the opposite perspective of the mercy thompson series. Where Mercy wants to be a loner, Anna wants to belong. I look forward to reading the rest of the Alpha and Omega series! *****

Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, #4) by Jim Butcher for Ghost Story (The Dresden Files, #13) by Jim Butcher

message 533: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments Although I am up to Dead Reckoning and should probably read that as it's sitting on my kindle, I am going to go with The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker


message 534: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (selana) And I read Fair Game (Alpha & Omega, #3) by Patricia Briggs as well... the story is getting weaker, but still 4 stars from me. This one was a bit predictable about one of the bad guys and the end was just... strange...


Christina (AKA Babbling) (babblingbookreviews) | 196 comments I was going to skip this list, but I think I try reading Some Girls Bite (instead of Friday Night Bites).


message 536: by Makenzie (new)

Makenzie (makenziefay) | 496 comments I read Savor the Moment (Bride Quartet, #3) by Nora Roberts back on the 13th, and I give it 4 stars. This series was a bit cheesy and predictable, but it was still a nice little bit of fluff that I really enjoyed. A great de-stresser.


message 537: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ | 3901 comments I finished Fair Game (Alpha & Omega, #3) by Patricia Briggs on 9/21 and absolutely loved it. 5 stars!


message 538: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished Magic Bleeds for Magic Strikes last Sept. 15. Another 5 star read from Ilona Andrews. I just really love Kate and Curran's relationship.


message 539: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) Friday Night Bites Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill ★★★★ @ 30.09.
Nice introduction to the world and characters. Too bad it's not a very original plot. (the whole kick-ass heroine turned to vampire thing...)


message 540: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I reread Hunting Ground on 28 Sep and finished Fair Game on October 1. I really liked Fair Game but I am glad I finished River Marked as FG has mild spoilers for the end of RM. I rated FG 4 stars with hope that Briggs continues both series soon.

I read Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews and it was awesome! It took me awhile to get into this series, but I'm really starting to enjoy it now that I'm more familiar with the magic & tech waves.

Magic Strikes (Kate Daniels, #3) by Ilona Andrews


message 542: by Ty (new)

Ty  | 1943 comments finished Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, #4) by Jim Butcher 10/3 - ★★★★

favorite book so far in the series. The plot was much more cohesive and thought out. It's also great to see the female characters take on less of damsels-in-distress roles, although there was plenty of that too. I totally want to be a fairy queen!
