That's good to hear. :-)

Does book 3 end with a cliffhanger? Seeing that the release date for 4 is in 2013, I'm a little reluctant to continue reading. I hate waiting. *is a very impatient person* Dx

No real cliff-hanger. I'd say book 3 ends on a very satisfying note. Nothing is left hanging other than the bigger issues that will probably thread through the series. Stuff like when will Charlie figure out what she's capable of and just how powerful she is? Will she end up with Reyes?

The series definitely gets better with each book. I read #2 and #3 last night. Like you said, it wrapped up the story for that particular volume nicely.

It left me really interested to know what happens down the road,I guess I'll have to wait a year to find out...

LilMisGrayBrisk I finally finished Silver-Tongued Devil (Sabina Kane, #4) by Jaye Wells and unfortunately, I didn't like it. Sabina and Adam got on my nerves, plus there were ot her things that bugged me.

Demon Moon (Hawkins Brothers/Quinten, Montana, #1) by Cameron Dane is next.

message 466: by Faith (new)

Faith McKay (faithmckay) I've just started reading Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth finally. It seems like everyone else in the world has already read it. I actually woke my husband up last night when I was reading and yelled out "OH MY GOD!" and I was only 50 pages in, so that's always a good start :)

message 473: by Marsha (new)

Marsha | 114 comments Reading First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1) by Darynda Jones . I like the over all story, but still not REALLY enjoying the overload of sarcasm. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the witty, well-placed, snarky comment, but this entire thing is written that way and it's almost too much. Hoping it will grow on me.

I felt the same way! I liked it and I plan to read the next one but the sarcasm/forced humor was too much. The ending made me glad I stuck with it

Rachael (r4ch4elreads) Ok, that seals it, The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins is now officially next on my reading list. I've always wondered what all the fuss was about, now I'll find out...

I agree about the humor. Charlie was really starting to get on my nerves in the first part of this book, but then I realized the sarcasm and joking was all a just a front she puts on and a way of keeping people at a distance so they can't hurt her. But, I think the author does a better job in the next two books of toning is down just a bit so it's not quite as distracting from the story. That or I just got used to it. But I loved books two and three.

I hope you like it. I was afraid I would hate it, because I usually don't "get" the books that everyone else raves about. But this one really sucked me in.

I'm doing a book-a-month buddy read in another group, at which rate it's going to take forever to read this series. But at least it makes sure I get back to it each month. I've listened to #1 and #3 on audio (after reading them) and I LOVE Susan Erickson. She does such a good job making each voice distinctive.

She is a great narrator! Although I recently was listening to another set of books and she was reading them and it was weird at first. I kept thinking, no what is Eve doing in this book. lol

I'm so glad to hear that they get better - not that this one isn't good. I'm looking forward to reading more:)

Let us know how you like Blackbringer. It's in my TBR pile. I loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor .

Christine | 752 comments I'm still reading Rapture in Death (In Death, #4) by J.D. Robb but I also set aside some time to finally start The Bride Wore Black Leather (Nightside, #12) by Simon R. Green

Paula (pauldajo) Jean, I was on amazon today trying to decide whether or not to buy 'Daughter of Smoke and Bone'. I'm half way through 'Blackbringer' and I love the writing and story.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor was actually my favorite book of 2011 if that helps you any. There is a pretty big cliffhanger at the end, so you might want to read it closer to the release of Days of Blood and Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2) by Laini Taylor . It's a planned trilogy, so there might be another cliffhanger in the next one...

Glad to hear you like Blackbringer so far. : )

I know! It looks like the second book will be released on Sept 18 (according to Amazon). I guess that's not too bad. I'd rather wait longer if she needs the time to make it a better book. It's still killing me, too. : )

I am so glad you mentioned the cliffhanger ending. I've been thinking about reading this one, but now I know I better wait at least until the second one it out.


message 493: by Elisa (new)

September...at least that's much nearer than Charley Davidson #4's 2013 release. xD

Sometimes I really want to kick myself for diving into a series too early..so much waiting! Then again, the anticipation is sweet.



Just finished Mark of the Demon (Kara Gillian, #1) by Diana Rowland . It was fairly easy to ease into, not too much information overload. But I think I probably like My Life As a White Trash Zombie (White Trash Zombie, #1) by Diana Rowland (read the day before) more.


message 495: by Christine (new)

Christine | 752 comments I'm about 60 pages into The Bride Wore Black Leather (Nightside, #12) by Simon R. Green and I'm just not as entertained as I was by the rest of the series. So far it kind of feels like one of those reunion/flashback TV episodes where they bring back a bunch of old characters and relive moments from past seasons. But, now that the Sun King has been introduced, maybe it will pick up.


message 496: by Faith (new)

Faith McKay (faithmckay) I'm reading Blood Bound (Mercedes Thompson, #2) by Patricia Briggs , the second Mercy Thompson. I know a lot of people who LOVE this series, including my husband... so far I just think it's alright. I'm reading it, I'm entertained, but I could just as easily read something else, which feels like a big let down.

I just finished Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer and I'm moving on to Blood Bound (Mercedes Thompson, #2) by Patricia Briggs


message 498: by Christine (new)

Christine | 752 comments I was kind of disappointed in The Bride Wore Black Leather (Nightside, #12) by Simon R. Green . It just didn't seem to have the same gruesome charm as the rest of the series, and Suzie Shooter didn't show up until about the last six pages. Still, it was a decent wrap up to the series.

Now, from John Taylor to Harry Dresden in Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, #11) by Jim Butcher . I'm betting this one does not disappoint.
