Ugh! This was a train wreck I couldn't look away from.


Oooh, what did you think? In the first book I really enjoyed their day-to-day, real-world interactions, like at school or at Varen's work, and how the fantasy elements were woven into the more realistic setting. So I was a bit worried when it sounded like Book 2 would be mostly set in a dream/fantasy world. I'm just not sure it will have the same pull for me.

It wasn't mostly in the dream world. Sigh. I wanted some dream world so we could see something from Varen's POV. That would have been so nice. We got nada from Varen. I think he made the first book, well, they did. Isobel without him is kind of boring. The writing was fantastic though!




Spell Bound was kind of boring. I thought Pushing the Limits would captivate me the way Perfect Chemistry did, but it fell short. Crave was just another generic PNR.
Currently reading

sorry, what does that mean? I'm not that good in english. Wha't s a 'train wreck'? *lol*
For me, the book is great and I really like the characters and I can't stop thinking about Travis :)


Um it is when you can't keep your eyes away from something terrible. Travis is an abusive IMO.


I FINISHED!!! And I loved it! It was confusing at first, but most of what was bothering me got cleared up by the end. And what an awful ending...I mean, come on! Ugh, I'm so stressed out. I already started

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO glad to hear you got beyond your sticking point and are now hooked and loving it!!! I'm itching to re-read this series. If only there weren't so many darn books! :)
Enjoy!!!

I have also read Beautiful Disaster, and found it to be a fairly realistic portrayal of disturbing people. I thought that Abby was the main problem however. She was weak-willed regarding the men in her life, and contradictory to the point of stupidity.
I just finished reading Pushing the Limits. Really good read by the way, I really liked it.
Now I'm reading Tiger's Curse which I'm already halfway through. Its not bad, I'm probably gonna pick up the second book when I can once I'm done.

My problem with Beautiful Disaster is that people think it is an actual love story and idealize Travis like he is some God. I am glad to see you speak about it differently!

I think in my own review I described them both as believable nutcakes.


oh, now I get it - thanks for the explenation :)
And yeah, you're right. But they also too cute when they are happy together... though most of the book they are fighting or making it hard for each-other. I don't know - I can't always say that they act realistic, but I like it how the author write about the feelings... though they are sometimes a little stupid.
I don't know why I like it so much and Travis really needs some training to handle his impulsive aggression, but I'm totally hooked and can't wait to read on.


I'm working on finishing that up myself and I agree, there doesn't seem to be one original theme in this book







Throne of Glass was awesome! I'm pretty sure you will like it.
How was Nevermore?!

Bethany- did you ever get my message?

It wasn't my favorite, I'm afraid. Especially considering it was the final book...if you have read the series, then you should at least try it. But it was disappointing.



Throne ..."
:( Yeah, it seems that that series is kinda hit or miss with each book. Some of them I have loved so much and others were just super weird and boring. I think 'Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports' remains my favorite.


That was a slow read for me as well - very depressing and different from books one and two.




I liked that one as well. I enjoyed the interplay with the illustrations.

I also started the audio book forAnna Dressed in Blood.



Now, I'm OBVIOUSLY starting

Also still working on

angelfall was pretty good. I never finished Shadow and Bone, but what I read of it was really good. I'd say start with that one.
