And it's really really annoying that Goodreads doesn't have my cover as a paperback option even though what I have is this cover with a paperback... I tried to add it, because I'm anal and it's driving me insane, but GR wouldn't let me because your second cover shares the same ISBN as mine.
 Okay!!! You have all convinced me to try Darkfever and Black Daggar Brotherhood series (Dark Lover?). So, the question is...which series to start first???

 Hmmm, well I've read all the BDB's, so I'd say start with that one. I may change my mind after catching with Fever, but I love the BDB.

I think she does a new cover for every printing. My copy of Bloodfever is the 7th printing.
 I love my Kindle, but I find I miss alot. I love to fan my books. Hold them close to my face so I can feel the wind, lol. And the smell. Kindles are great for spacesaving, but it'll never replace an actual book for me.

     I really enjoy both Fever and BDB for different reasons. Fever is an intense urban fantasy with lots of mystery and detail. BDB is just fun fluff.

BDB is just fun fluff.I'm surprised there aren't any big Night Huntress fans here. That series is a nice medium between Urban Fantasy and PNR. It has a lot of the heat/steam from book 1 on, but still has a lot of action/plot driven storyline. It also has a strong heroine and a male lead that is just as appealing as Barrons.

It's going to have to be a quick 3-day trip, but I'm still looking forward to getting away. It only takes about 6 hours for me to get from my house to SLC. I was just out there this past August too.
I love SLC... Provo not so much, although in it's defense I was just driving through.

I like those covers Wendy. As Heidi was says, I was quite disgusted with the Darkfever cover when I got it from the library.

BDB is just fun fluff.I agree with "Stacia constantly changes her name for our enjoyment" I haven't technically finished either of these series, but I've read 3 BDB books and 4 fever books. Her accessment is pretty spot on.
I personally don't think I could read all BDB books consecutively, but I can only do fluff for so long. I needed to read other stuff in between. The fever books I did read consecutively because OMG the cliffhangers.
I'd definitely recommend them both though.

I feel like a puppet on a string now. :)
BDB is one that I wasn't able to read all 8 books back to back (although I did manage to choke down the last 4 within a couple of weeks of each other due to not being able to focus my mind on much of anything). It's too much of the same thing to be able to go the distance like that.
Shadowfever was epic. Just sayin...
I will probably finish out this month on my urban fantasy overdose, then start rotating in more sci-fi and fantasy in Feb.

Thanks Liz, I'll be looking forward for your review :)
I'm on Part VI now. I'm feeling so sorry for Max Vandenburg's situation. This book is truly a masterpiece I must say.
 @Julie - Am now at the point where I'm having to decide whether or not to finish NEED. Somebody please tell me it picks up. Started off strong, then it kinda lost me, and now I'm reading about pixies?

But the whole pixie/fairy thing really threw me off. Wasn't expecting that at all. I'm also trying really hard to like the main character. I'm about halfway through at this point. It's not a long book--I should finish tonight.
 @Liz: thanks :)
      @Liz: thanks :) That's expected of YA novels, I experience the same thing too regarding the main characters. I especially hate it when they act so immature and irrational.
 I started Darkfever last night and I love it. I just wish I had today off work so I could read it all day!

     It seems I'm not able to read these days. I'm more into tv show and shopping. I'm still stuck with The Amber Spyglass and I had a weird dream about it last night. It was about Lyra and Pan fleeing from some kind of Mrs Coulter and Glee characters were involved and Kurt died. What the hell. @_@

You guys keep feeding my addiction! I ordered the first book of the Night Huntress series today...and the second book in the Fever series. Man I love reading! Keep the recommendations coming. :)

Some of the things brought up and described in it...are literally making me sick to my stomach to think about. Anyone else read this series?

     Becca I have not read that book, but I just had a similar reaction to Certain Slant of Light - it was the first book in ages that I found really hard to rate.
