Shelleyrae at Book'd Out | 346 comments I've finished my free space book - Once Bitten Twice Shy, May 21st gave it ★★★★. I love Jaz's character, really fun and lots of action. I'm in the midst of writing a full review.

I have started Another One Bites the Dust, will hopefully finish it today.

I actually started this series because I have an ARC of the last book (gotta love netgalley), I already had the first two and Ive bought the others now. Just have to get them all read by June LOL - Ive signed up for the challenge Sandra - thanks!

Sandra | 25908 comments Shelleyrae, I'd already preordered the last one so didn't bother trying for the arc. Plus I'm only up to #2 now. I'll be reading Another One Bites the Dust for April. Gotta love those A's!

And Yay! another Jaz Parks fan.

Sandra | 25908 comments So, we just need Amanda to finish Shadowfever and we have a Freespace stamp.

And we just need Nici to finish Pride and we have a Shifter stamp.

And we just need everyone apart from Michelle to finish our picks for Paranormal. LOL.

We're going great Team Triple Threat!

Sandra | 25908 comments Yay, Nici!!! Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as you expected. I haven't read that series yet, so no pithy words of encouragement.

Steph we are up for our Shifter stamp! Yay!!

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments Well done everyone!

Nici, the series does get better. I know a lot of people found Faythe very immature in the beginning as well. She does a lot of growing up throughout the series. Like most series though - some are better than others!


message 308: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand (Kitty Norville, #5) by Carrie Vaughn
Paranormal Shelf 22/3/11 ★★★★

Book #5 and Ben & Kitty are planning a wedding. Mom wants the whole enchilda but Ben & Kitty's wolves can't stand the thought. Kitty starts thinking Vegas. Then her boss talks her into a TV episode of the Midnight Hour in, you guessed it, Vegas.

Kitty does the show while Ben gets really good at poker. Ben goes missing and it looks mob related, Kitty keeps meeting weird supes like were-felines and "The Gatekeeper" Odysseus Grant who is also a magician. She also keeps meeting werewolf hunters who happen to know Ben from the old days. All the hunters are in town for the gun convention happening at Kitty's hotel. Not to metion the "Goddess Tiamat".

Everybody seems to conspire to prevent the Vegas wedding from happening but Ben is resourceful.

Sandra | 25908 comments Thanks Zina :)


message 317: by Amanda A (new)

Amanda A | 812 comments I finished Shadowfever for my free space book. It was a very satisfying end to the series. I love KMM's style and the Fever world she has created is pretty amazing. This book answered all of the questions that had been lingering througout the series and Mac finally got her HEA. There were also a couple of twists that I definitely did not see coming. I have heard rumblings of a possible spin-off series in the future. I hope it happens.

Finished 3/22
★★★★★


message 318: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yay Amanda!!! Glad you loved Shadowfever. I must admit I haven't started Fever yet. I was waiting till all the books were out, after I heard about all the cliff hangers. LOL. So I suppose I should start collecting them so I can read them.

So we are now ready to be stamped for Freespace. Yay!!


message 319: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Don't forget to pick out your Paranormal book Amanda, and happy reading.


message 320: by Amanda A (new)

Amanda A | 812 comments I'm going with First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1) by Darynda Jones for the paranormal shelf.


message 321: by Sherri (new)

Sherri | 781 comments Woo Hoo! We are looking good!


message 322: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments We are doing well :)


message 323: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Got you Amanda, I'm looking forward to your review, I've got that one ordered.


message 324: by Shelleyrae (new)

Shelleyrae at Book'd Out | 346 comments Finished Another One Bites the Dust March 23rd I enjoyed it as much as the first, the sense of humor works for me, I like the mix of characters and Jaz kicks butt :) ★★★★


message 325: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yay!! I'm reading that one for April, glad you liked it.


message 326: by Crystal S (new)

Crystal S (crystalann) | 487 comments I think I'll be reading Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #4) by J.R. Ward for my paranormal book.


message 327: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Crystal I'm sure you'll enjoy Butch's story. You're updated.


message 328: by Crystal S (new)

Crystal S (crystalann) | 487 comments I hope so. I've been putting off reading it because I LOVED Zsadist and Bella's story soooooo much. I'm just afraid of disappointment. But, I think enough time has passed and it's time to get on with the rest of the series. :-)


message 329: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments :D you'll be fine Crystal, LOL!

message 333: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Thanks Steph & Laura :)


message 334: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments I just might have'ta sit Mr. Randomizer down and have a talk w/him. He can't be showin' one team so much favor. He's gotta spread the lovin' around. LOL!


message 335: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (last edited Mar 22, 2011 10:57PM) (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments At least the 4th shelf is nowhere near that line. LOL.

But our Bingo Card sure looks pretty!


message 336: by Steph, Serious series addict (last edited Mar 22, 2011 11:14PM) (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments True. :)

That it does!


message 337: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments I didn't want to mention the placement :)


message 338: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments LOL, were you thinking it was a secret, Michelle. There are spies everywhere (we had no chance of keeping it quiet).

ROFLMAO

You just know we'll have the next few shelves all over the place, Mr Randomizer won't be able to help himself.


message 339: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 2158 comments I was scared to jinx it! Was thinking it would be nice to have it last a little longer than a straight 5 :)


message 340: by CyberAlmu (new)

CyberAlmu | 302 comments congrats on the stamp! :)

Sandra | 25908 comments Thanks Zina :)


♡ Sassy ~ Amy ♡ | 494 comments Ok! I finished my book Midnight Awakening (Midnight Breed, #3) by Lara Adrian !!! I finished on 3/23/11! I give it ★★★★★! It was great! The best one so far I think. Badass Breed w/ no feeling falls for a widowed breedmate in mourning (husband and son both dead) The last book, you see her as weak/feeble, voila, the first time you see her in this book she is bad ass now too!!

Glad you liked it, I was planning on picking that one up this week :)


message 346: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yep, I enjoyed that one too Amy. I'm about to start #7 Shades of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #7) by Lara Adrian cause its gotta go back to the library. LOL.

Amy, you're updated!

Sherri's read her book just awaiting a couple of lines for her review.And team we're over halfway to our next stamp.


message 347: by Sherri (last edited Mar 23, 2011 07:30PM) (new)

Sherri | 781 comments I'm finally here to do my writeup!

I'm goiong to give Sparks by Laura Bickle ★★★½

I'd rate the storyline of Sparks 3 stars. I thought the character development of the villian was nonexistant and fell flat for me. I'm throwing a 1/2 star onto my rating for Sparky the invisible salamandar that never utters a single word in the whole book. Sparky was the shining light in the book for me. He/she had me laughing out loud at times and I couldn't get enough of him/her.

I finished the book on March 23, 2011


message 348: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Fantastic Sherri! I want to know how someone/thing who doesn't speak the entire book had you LOL?


message 349: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Sparky was the best part of the first book for me, Sherri, so I'm not surprised to see s/he earned a 1/2 star for #2. :)


message 350: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments You tease! That still doesn't answer my question!
