What are you reading?
I finished
. The book has a very slow build but picks up in the middle. It has a very gritty atmosphere with several nightmare-inducing creatures. Roach-rats! I'm off to finish
.

I'm so glad you're enjoying White Trash Zombie! I love that book, and Angel, on so many levels. There was much more to it than I was expecting.
It's good as you said so thank you, I have been reading it on the bus to and from work and got some strange looks when I am chuckling away as I am reading it.

Interesting. Both of those look good!
I am currently reading Witchling
by Yasmine Galnorn. I am enjoying it so far. I am halfway through Discovery of Witches
by Deborah Harkness. It is a long book which I really like. I love that there are so many different kinds of supernatural beings in this book.
I am reading the second to last of the Sookie Stackhouse series Deadlocked Charlaine Harris writing is really enjoyable and her characters in Bon Temps have become like old friends. My favourite in the series will always be Dead to the World. I feel the series went down hill after book 7, but I still want to see what happens in the end.
I just finished
. It was a very nice wrap up to the series, but I must admit I did not see THAT coming.I'm debating whether or not to start
. I hear it's kind of slow and I'm not sure I'm in the mood for slow right now.

It was good, I think it is worth spending the money.
Really liking
. I generally enjoy stories that personify Death (and this one does so in spades).Also read the first 2 installments of
, a serial by Seanan McGuire. Liking it so far.

Ditto I must say she is writing a ton and yet all of her books are still good as well as unique.
OK, you've all convinced me. :) Plus, I've loved everything else Ms. McGuire has written. *runs off to order

I finished
and while I stared out with high hopes for it, in the end it was a little disappointing for me. There were plenty of things about it I liked, but then there were just as many things that irritated or bothered me. I might try the second one at some point to see if the writing evens out.Now, I'm starting

Read The Best of All Possible Worlds - still mulling it over. Was not what I expected. ETA I did like it. :)
Listening to the audiobook for
(read the book back when it released). I'm currently reading a crime fiction novel but will start
soon.
I finished
which was really good, but what a way to end the book! Now I'm glad I put it off for a year and the next on is already out.Now I'm starting
and
Have
in my to read pile, happy to hear good things. Am really enjoying
right now. It's set in a futuristic, kind of post-Apocalyptic London, but reminds me of The Warriors for some reason. Anyway, really enjoying it so far.

I know a lot of people love Rob Thurman, but I thought Trick of Light sounded more interesting, and I find it kind of meh. It's one of those books I keep putting down and not picking up again for weeks. Wondering if I picked the wrong series.
I enjoyed it. I like the relationship between Cal & Niko - it reminds me of Sam & Dean from Supernatural. It was the first in the series so it was a bit slow at times and the ending dragged a bit but I will continue the series. I've also read
the latest in the series and it was excellent.

Slashback was really really good in my opinion
Oh dear. Sounds like I picked the wrong series to start! I'll try the Cal one and maybe shelve Trick for the time being. Trick sounded so perfect for me too. Oh well.

it really get entertaining.

I just finishedThe True Story of Hansel and Gretel, Terrifying, sad but very well written. I am just starting Elsewhere and enjoying it because it is set in the same world as Finder
Just finished Fated (loved it) and now I am reading Ghost Story (almost caught up on the Dresden series).
