Free Space
Crossed J F Lewis

Four Stars


Lewis' Void City (home of the Void City music festival) is a violent place populated with vampires, demons, sons of cat goddesses, mages,witches and sordid and assorted others.

In the third book Eric (our hero ????) goes on his honeymoon to Paris. Well he tries to anyway. Fang and Daughter Greta are left in charge in Void City.

Laugh outloud funny, horrific, sad and thought provoking by turns: Crossed is more complex then the first two books in the series. Nothing is quite what it appears to be.

This book will not stand alone

[Caroline]

Hmm.already posted review for Pride Mates

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay! I really like that series, Ming. Glad to hear the latest is a fun read. Eric and his merry band are a hoot. Really anxious to read it.

Not to worry, Caroline. I'll update the game spreadsheet later today and Sallie will update hers when she's back online. :)

I'm looking forward to starting that series soon. I keep hearing good things about it. Glad you liked it.

Here's my review for my free space
Night School
4stars ===== May be spoilers =====
I like that this series, it's a cute quick read.
the story starts right where it ended with the twins Rayne and Sunny finding out that their parents are fairies and royal ones too.
so, here's the run down Rayne is a vampire without powers,a vampire slayer, and now a fairy princess what's next LOL. Sunny finds out that she is the next in line to be queen for the Light Court and since the fairy courts are fighting they want the girls to come help in aiding the battle. mom and dad have Heather their step-mom relocate the girls to this remote place and school Riverdale Academy where they have no phones or Internet to let anyone know what's going down and they might have to stay for up to a year like this, OH NO! what about Magnus and Jareth.... Oh, and the school is a Hard core vampire slayer school....did I minchin Rayne being a vampire in a remote place without any way to get synthetic blood too.
Cute series will keep reading.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I will be caught up by the weekend...life has been crazy complicated this week - it will get better...promise...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I didn't read all of your review, Amber, just the last line. I read the first book a bit ago and it was cute. I'm sure I'll eventually read more of it. Glad you enjoyed the latest edition. :)

No worries Sallie, I still have yet to pick out a shifters book and read so your fine. It's been really crazy around my place. Will be glad for the weekend myself.

@ Steph-Thanks it is a cute book, the books get better the farther into the series you go at least for a YA series hope you enjoy when you pick it back up :D

Im picking Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost...

[Caroline]

I'll take for Paranormal Shelf.

[Angi]

Okay Steph, I'm going to need you to go ahead and randomize the next couple of shelves so I can plan accordingly, okay??? lol ;-)

Turns out I have SEVERAL books that I have in my TBR pile that fit this category. I can either go with:

1. Spider's Bite
2. Beyond the Night
3. Black Wings

C.R.A.P which one to choose???

Okay, I made my husband pick one (and let me tell you he could care less lol)... but looks like I'll choose
"Spider's Bite"

Hey, at least if I hate it, I can blame him, right?
;-)

[Angi]

Hi Sallie- unfortunately I haven't completed my free space book yet- "River Marked". It just came in the mail on Fri so after I finish this one I'll be able to start :)

[Ming]

I'll go with
Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1)
by Cassandra Clare

It will work as a YA read for another challenge I am in as well

[Angi]

Oh good one Ming. I enjoyed it.

Ok - I think I have everyone updated &/or corrected :)
Let me know if I need to add or change anything...hope everyone is enjoying their reads...Im on Chap 10 of Shadowfever & I have to say I am completely lost. Hope I find my way soon because it is really hard to read something when you have no clue as to what is happening what has already happened or what is about to happen...
:( maybe my mind isnt on reading right now - too much going on...


ps - I will be out of town from Fri to Sun with limited or no access to email - I will check the threads when I get back on Sun evening...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

There are so many twists and turns in that one, Sallie, that I can understanding your feeling a little lost. Hopefully it'll all fall into place for ya. Maybe another lighter read would be better for now?

Good luck w/everything this weekend!

[Amber]

I have finished
5stars

This book picks up right where the last one left off and continues with lots of crazy twists.
I give Ms. Gray kudos for the ending. It was not the ending I anticipated, but it was one hundred percent true to the story. Anything less or different would have been unfair to the world and characters she has so lovingly created.
Great end to a wonderful series!!!!!

[CyberAlmu]

I was so disappointed with ... it was certainly not the story I expected and I though it would be difficult to fix. So I was planning on not reading this one but since you're giving it a 5-star rating I guess I'll give it a try.

[Caroline]

Finished City of Ashes last night. 4 ****
It was great. Really enjoyed the first book, but I think this was better. Great plot, loads of anx (I like anx in books). Had to pick up and read the third book when I woke this morning.
