I finished and it wasn't bad, but not great either (3★). Something about the writing just didn't work for me.

Last night I started and am already 60% through . I'm liking it. Really liking the male bonding (die-for-you-friends/no M/M action) between Zeke & Griffin. The story is interesting too. Basically your good vs. evil with smokin' hot demons and a group who believes they are doing God's will, but actually puppets of Angels. Anyway, I'm enjoying it. LOL! I suck at describing books.

And, yes, I'm still trying to find time to listen to . I'm just gonna have to read it and try the audio version later, I think.

[Regina]

I am so glad you are liking it!! I am planning on reading the following by the same author soon:

I have her others too, but haven't read them yet. This is the first one I've tried so far and enjoying it. Will be interested to hear your thoughts on them all.

She's on my list of authors to read this year, one of the many ;)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Finally starting a BOM that I didn't get to in time...

Looking forward another thread I won't have to avoid as well...lol!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Looking forward to your thoughts on it!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Have read the first 4 or so chapters, and really enjoy this world! Lots of curiosity about what comes next!

Is it just me, or does anyone else want to eat that cover?

I am currently reading (actually, have now abandoned) . Words cannot express how bad this book is. I could try through the medium of mime, but it would just be me rocking in a corner.

[Kerstin]

I just finished and really enjoyed it. Dark and gritty and great characters.

I'll start on today.

Good news Inga, I've got that tbr.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Moss, ROFLMAO!!!!!!

Please, please can I see the mime!

[Alyssa]

Just finished . Awesome!

Starting . I liked the Aisling Grey: Guardian series, so I hope this one will be good do too.

[Vivian]

Read first story in . MacAlister is funny in an over-the-top kinda way. Entertaining in short spurts.

Glad you're liking it. :)

Yay, Inga! I have that TBR next this month. Looking forward to it.

I can't answer you right now, Moss b/c I'm already doing so. LOL! Terribly HAWT!!!

Yay, Kerstin! Glad you liked PWSD. I cannot wait for the sequel.

Yay, Alyssa! Nice finish to that series, yah? Looking forward to her spin-off - interested to see how it compares.

Inga wrote: "Sandra, Steph, I'm more than half through.. what can I say - I like it :) it's one of very few short novels I've read, therefore, I'm just getting used to specifics. But I like it :)"

I think there are 3 in that series Inga, so story might arc over the 3.

Vivian, glad is funny, cause I've got that one too!

[Vivian]

I've only read one other book by her (You Slay Me), but I'd say it has a similar feel, you're just not meant to take it seriously.

Also started and really liking it so far.

[Kerstin]

Steph, I didn't know there was a sequel planned for PWSD. Any idea on when it will be out? I couldn't find anything about it.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Kerstin, she stopped by our Rhiannon thread and said, "Pretty When She Kills is the sequel to Pretty When She Dies." When I asked about a release date, she said, "If you mean Pretty When She Kills, I have no clue. I have yet to write it. My agent and I are going to be discussing it this coming week. I'm not sure if I will continue to independently publish the series or if we'll decide to submit it to the big publishers. We'll see." LOL! So, guess we can only patiently (haha) wait and see.

[Kerstin]

Thanks for that, Steph. I'll go and check it out.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

NP. :) Let me know if you spot any other news about it on the web or here at GR. I am anxious to read it.

[Jackie M]

I am reading for bingo and I am liking it so far.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Yay! That's one of my favorites!!! Hope you like it all the way through!

[Regina]

I just finished and a very short story that is free and cops directly after Among the Living , both are short and I read them in an hour or so. I loved them! It is UF with a male POV, and a m/m romance (but written by a woman, I think). It is an interesting world, the setting is realistic and I like the characters alot. I bought #2 already and can't wait to read it.

I am still working my way through (which is hilarious and sexy -- loving it, there are so many quotables from this series) and also still listening to

I am also starting -- watching all the trailers for the HBO series has made me want to go ahead and read #2 right now.

[Regina]

@ Kerstin and Steph -- I can't wait to read Pretty When She Dies, I have it up for next month. I am tempted just to read it right now.

@ Vivian -- glad you are enjoying Fool Moon. I promise you with #3 -- the entire series is at a different caliber -- same very cool premise, but something just clicked for Butcher with 3 and 4.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Whenever you do get to it, be sure to let us know what you think. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I've started good so far!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay! Hope you like it. Funny series.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished . Was the usual fun read, with a little more emphasis on a UF theme. Involved a lykae so the usual strange interpretation of a Scottish accent applied (Are ye goin tae suck that oo not? etc) which is always sort of difficult to ignore, but she's so great I always manage.

Have started . So far, so good.

[Literary Ames]

Currently reading . And thank you, Regina, for mentioning Thaw. I saw it in my update feed and read it last night. So sweet!

[Regina]

It was so sweeet and it did not suffer from short story syndrome, it was like another scene from #1. How is Criss Cross? As strong as #1?

[Jackie M]

I am reading .

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yay, Jackie, hope you like it.

[CyberAlmu]

Just finished and I'm already halfway through .

On Iron Kissed... it has been one of the lowest amount of stars I'd given to the series so far, ★★★

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'm reading and its going really well so far.

[Daffodil]

Currently reading & .

Slow going on River Marked, not because of the content, but because I'm psychotically protective of my Keeper hardbacks. I'm not carrying it around in my bookbag, to and from work, etc. My mom smokes, so I didn't take it last week when I went to visit my brother.

Cigarette smoke is awful for books! I have picked up a couple from the thrift store and realize they smell like smoke when I get them home. Only a couple... I don't know how to get the smoke out. I am also protective of my hardcover books.

[Daffodil]

This is going to sound strange. Try putting it in a small box that seals with a bar of cheap Dial soap. Probably any cheap bar soap will work. Don't use a strongly scented one like Irish Spring, but don't go for totally unscented either. The goal is to replace the smoke smell with the soap smell. No guarantees it will work, but I've had success in the past.

Or you could try pepper. LOL. Had a bunch of packets of pepper left after an anniversary party and the book I was carrying around got stuck in the box with them. Forgot it was in there and when I retrieved it some time later while unpacking the box of party supplies, the entire book smelled like black pepper. Achooo!

Thanks for the ideas I will see what works. I have 2 books. A healthy recipes cookbook (oh the irony) and The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks that smell like cigarettes. I have had a pretty good experience with thrift books except for those.

[Rosina]

I have used fabric softner sheets cut up into smaller sizes and put between the pages of the book.

I was thinking of trying that too! Great minds think alike? I need to find a box... I have some bracelets I bought of ebay that smelled of cigarettes too. They are cloth and buttons and really cute but I wont wear them if I can't get the smell out. Needless to say I was MAD.

[Desperado]

Still Reading:

For such a hot cover, this book is boring as hells. Everyone is so damn perfect. Almost no flaws, which makes it very hard for me to relate &/or sympathize with the MC's.

Started:

I liked Magic Bites so much when I read it last month for BSB that I requested book 2 & 3 from the library.

That would upset me too. I have severe allergies and visiting Mom almost always makes me sick. And the smell permeates everything. After Christmas, I got back home and opened my purse to get my keys out and almost choked. How does that happen? It was zipped up the entire time. I always wash everything regardless of whether it's been worn. I turn my bags inside out and hang them on the porch with my coat to air out. (You'd be surprised at how well a brisk wind on a crisp cold day works.) I even have to wash my hair right away to get the smell out. I can't use floral sachets, etc because of my allergies, so I've had to experiment with other options.

Over time, I've learned my lessons well. Dry clean items, porous items that are really important to me (books, books and more books), the good luggage -- none of it goes to Mom's house. Is it horrible of me to take mainly library books?

I had to laugh at the irony of the Healthy cookbook. My mother's a nurse for goodness sake. And she's a chain smoker! She should definitely know better.

My boyfriend's sister smokes so I know what you mean about your clothes and hair smelling when you come back even if she wasn't smoking while we were there I still absorb the smell. It is a little terrible that you bring library books. :-P But what can you do? I would bring a cheap paperback you don't care too much about. If you end up loving the book enough to reread, you can always repurchase it. I know you can't do that with all your books though. It is awful she is a nurse and smokes but she can quit if she wants too. My boyfriend's mom smoked for a long time and has quit within these last few years.

Aw that's a shame. Hottie on the cover is a liar!

Have just finished . I'm not going to say anything about it because I just finished foaming at the mouth on my review, but ah, let's just say I hope the Lothaire book is nothing like this one.

Yes, I think so although I did guess who the villain was pretty quickly. It had a very sweet ending too.

[Vivian]

I'm doing it. Reading the pervy unicorn book AKA . Not too much from the horny one yet but good even without him!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL, Vivian, I've got that one too now! Interested to hear what you think.

I've been reading today, whilst waiting for the Bingo shelf to be announced. About 75% finished, I want a Roarke! (sorry hubby)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

(sorry hubby) LOL!

[Sandra J]

I'm almost finished .
