The second and third were my favorites! But very different books. I liked the fourth, but there was a lot of tension in it, so probably my least favorite so far. I hope to fit the others into a challenge soon so I will get to them sooner rather than later!

I had some WTH? moments when the fifth book had some references to events that happened in some alternate universe. Turns out that they happened in the two Night Huntress world book (mainly Spade and Mencheres getting their HEA,i guess). Being a little anal, I have to read the series in order. So just a heads up, in case you're reading the fifth book, you might want to read the Night Huntress world books before you read the fifth. (And nowhere did I read about this!)

Luckily I finished the 4th book well before the 5th came out, so I had time to read Spade and Mencheres books. That is a very good warning for others though.

I had heard that from someone here before and after your comment am really glad I did before I moved forward. I was planning to get to the Night Huntress World books before I read the fifth Night Huntress book. But I am loving these books!

Thanks for spreading the warning - I'm sure many people will appreciate it!

I really do need to do a re-read of The Search. I've got Chasing Fire sitting waiting for me to start at some stage.

She's one of the few authors who are an automatic audiobook buy for me. For some reason her writing style really suit the audiobook format. And yes, I buy the ebook as well. Can't help myself.

Oh, I'm with you. A new audiobook from her is always the first in my cart. I really enjoyed Chasing Fire.

I'm glad you liked it. It is light but fun.

I finally read Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead and I cannot believe it took me this long to finally read it! Thank you Sandy for the rec! I gave it 5 stars and I've already ordered Succubus on Top. I loved Georgina and Seth. I liked Roman and all of the other characters as well and I can't wait to find out what happens!!

Thanks so much for letting us know about this, Vi! I'm still not up to that book but I'll be on the lookout when I continue the series. :)

Love that series, Katy-Lou!!

[Alexis]

Today I finished finally. I got way behind on my reading because I've been sick. It was really funny. I adore the main character, Jane. She's so quirky and a lot like me. I can't wait to finish the series. Thank you for another great recommendation AlbertaJenn!

btw, I was able to get a couple days ago. I don't know if I will have time to read it this month, but I'm going to try to squeeze it in the next couple of days :)

[Daffodil]

I really need to finish Nightshade, it's my flower cover for the monthly challenge. I'll probably pick it back up tonight.

In the meantime, I decided to go ahead and read the second I-Team book. I'm enjoying so far.

Molly Harper's books are great fun! I also love her Naked Werewolf series: How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf and The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf.

Oh I know! I read How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf earleir this month and loved it! She's such a fun light-hearted author, it's impossible not to love her books.

Yeah - cause it's not like you're busy making sure the rrrc world is revolving or anything :)

[Tania]

Hey guys - just a quick note to let you know that I'm currently finishing up some research papers so will be updating the read list on Saturday.

You amazed me, Daffodil! I never thought you'd get to so many of the picks!

Like many people here, I've only read one pick. Although I've saved the ones that interested me for later. :)

Hi D.G.

I'm always carrying a book (or 2) with me and I get a lot of reading done in odd moments. And, of course, the bus ride to and from work 5 days a week helps.

This is the first time I participated in the PIFM and I had a lot of fun trying out new recommendations.

Finished Nightshade last night. I had a tough time rating this book. It started off great, the world Cremer has created is fascinating and I was interested in the characters. I had to put the book aside halfway through to finish something else and instead of picking it back up as soon as possible, I found myself putting it off. I'm not really sure why, but it didn't demand my attention. When I finally picked it back up, I finshed in a couple days. The world was just as fascinating and I did want to know how things were going to turn out, but I think it was the love triangle that was putting me off. I ended up giving it 3.5 stars. I'll probably pick up the next book at some point, since I'm interested in how the overall conflict is going to progress.

[Autumn]

Jesus!!! my computer crashed plus doing night rounds.I looked like a chicken without a head..


BUT i did finish :)

I enjoyed the read,because it left me plenty to say about. There were techical aspects i didnt particularly agree with NR,but she definitely knows how to craft good books. Im very glad i had the chance to read suspense from this author. It was my first ;)

Im so sorry i finished it so late, but better late than never!

thanks so much for the rec! xxxxxxxx

Hi Caroline! I am really impressed that you have read all those books this month! And it gives me a thrill to share so many of my favorite books with you.

[Laurentiu]

Laura,

I managed to read The Hunger Gamesand I liked it, I'll read the entire series for sure. Finished it on 5/27/11 and I rate it 4 stars.

No thank you! I've nearly finished To Die For and am loving it! It's really tickling my sense of humour! I think that I won't read so many recs on next month pifm as my other books have been left by the wayside! But have really enjoyed all your recs:-) x x

[Daffodil]

D.G.

Thanks for the Pamela Clare I-Team rec. I decided to skip the first book, since the library didn't have it, but I didn't get lost reading Hard Evidence. I finished it last night and it was great. Now, I just have to hunt up a copy of the first book.

I had the exact same feelings about this book....the love triangle was my biggest problem with it.

[Lady Allison]

Finished yesterday & loved it. Wrote the longest review ever for it! Thanks, Lacy! :)

[Amanda]

Finally finished The Hunger Games. I cannot praise it enough. I still have no idea why I put it off so long, but like most people have warned me...I just want to inhale the rest of the series. Thanks for the awesome picks!

[Isabella]

I finished Dark Lover and Burning Alive. My preference goes to the first one. I admit that some scenes were deceiving especially the first 3 or 4 chapters of Burning Alive but after that things got better. But it wasn't only this reason that made me take long to finish, my kids got sick these 2 weeks that's why I'm late in my reading for this month. Since I've got only 2 days and 2 books left to read in my schedule I'll start Reno's chance as it's only 80 pages. Maybe I still can include it for this month.

[Mandy]

I finished Dream Chaser (Dark-Hunter, #14). It follows the series rule, so I'm good. :-) I didn't like it so much. Honestly, the Dream Hunter books are my least favorite of the Dark Hunter series.
