Just started it. :) We get to meet Peter's family in this one, I think, so I'm looking forward to it. The first part has my attention, so yay!

message 1909: by Daníel Freyr (new)

Daníel Freyr Jónsson | 4 comments As it happens I'm reading two books right now that would fit into the urban-fantasy genre (it's not the only genre I read), Gil's All Fright Diner and The Greatest Show Off Earth. Martinez is fantastic and I have yet to read a disappointing work from him. Rankin is more uneven, sometimes good, sometimes excellent and sometimes just plain confusing as with this book.

Susan | 45 comments I just finished the October Daye series by Seanan Mcguire, and Alex Versus series by Benedict Jacka really liked them. I am getting ready to start the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep.

Jean ~ Kindle Queen (jkat9) | 208 comments After being pressured... ahem, I mean encouraged to check out Indexing by Seanan McGuire , I read the first three episodes last night. It's good! Definitely different. The first episode was a little confusing, but I settled in after that one, and I'm enjoying it. I love anything related to fairy tales, so this is an excellent choice for me. Thanks to Kindle-aholic, Susan, and Dawn for the recommendation!

I'm reading God Save the Queen (The Immortal Empire, #1) by Kate Locke , and so far am *very* disappointed. :(

I don't mind the story or the mc, but I so wanted a steampunk read, and while this is marketed as a steampunk, it certainly isn't. What bothers me is that (a) it's impossible to tell what time period I'm reading about - not Victorian, that's for sure and (b) all modern devices are called odd names (cell phones = rotaries) to give it a faux steampunk feel.

Really wish the author had skipped the steampunk and gone for a different alternate world.

Kathy (Kindle-aholic) (kindleaholic) | 192 comments Read Archangel's Kiss (Guild Hunter, #2) by Nalini Singh - first, love the Buddy Reads, second - it's a middle book, pace was slow, then too quick at the end. Love the world though, and the characters are interesting. Will read more.

Still reading Moon Over Soho (Peter Grant, #2) by Ben Aaronovitch - Peter on his own is being an idiot. He needs Leslie. I think this is part of the point of the story.

But don't you think that is part of his appeal, the doofy side of him.

That is probably why I liked it because normally I am not a fan of steampunk but this I liked...never thought about that before!

Yes, I love his doofy side. However, he is not just being doofy in this one. He needs someone (Leslie filled this role in bk 1) to balance him big time.

From what I've seen, this is either a book you really like or one you can't finish. Doesn't seem to be a lot of middle ground.

I really liked it.:)

Dawn (dawnv) | 367 comments Finished Summoning the Night (Arcadia Bell, #2) by Jenn Bennett and that was really good but it has been so long since I read the last one I feel like I forgot some important points.

Also finished Blood Lust (Rapid City Wolves, #1) by Charity Santiago which has great potential but it was not for me.

I started Tempest Reborn (Jane True, #6) by Nicole Peeler only to realize I did not read Tempest’s Fury (Jane True, #5) by Nicole Peeler .

Now reading The Hour of Dust and Ashes (Charlie Madigan, #3) by Kelly Gay Hearts of Darkness (Deadglass, #1) by Kira Brady The Strain (The Strain Trilogy, #1) by Guillermo del Toro Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) by Lisa Kleypas The Vengeance of the Vampire Bride (Vampire Bride, #2) by Rhiannon Frater


message 1932: by Christine (new)

Christine | 752 comments I'm reading Alien in the Family (Katherine "Kitty" Katt, #3) by Gini Koch and Kitty is always fun.

I just started Black The Birth of Evil (The Circle, #1) by Ted Dekker in audio and I absolutely love what I've heard so far, even though it's rather bizarre so far.


Kathy (Kindle-aholic) (kindleaholic) | 192 comments Finished Moon Over Soho (Peter Grant, #2) by Ben Aaronovitch - the last few sentences made me want to rush out and get book 3. Giddily happy. I do like that Peter is learning. I'm fine with characters who act like idiots, so long as they learn from it.

Trying to be good though, and finish some other books on my shelf first. Tonight I'll try Poison by Bridget Zinn , Orleans by Sherri L. Smith , In the Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters and see which one sparks my interest the most.

Glad u liked it. Felt the same way. And I can't wait for the 4th book.

Erica | 2 comments Started reading Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin. So far, I am enjoying it. It feels like it will be a quick read and will most likely go on to the next book in series.


message 1936: by Veronica (last edited Jun 27, 2013 09:40AM) (new)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) I was disappointed with both God Save the Queen (The Immortal Empire, #1) by Kate Locke and The Iron Wyrm Affair (Bannon & Clare, #1) by Lilith Saintcrow so I probably won't be continuing with either series. I just finished Dead Iron (Age of Steam, #1) by Devon Monk and Tin Swift (Age of Steam, #2) by Devon Monk and quite enjoyed them. The third book, Cold Copper (Age of Steam, #3) by Devon Monk , is out next week and I'm looking forward to that.

I've been wanting to start the first Peter Grant book so hopefully I can work that in soon. I like the UK cover (and title) better though.


message 1937: by chucklesthescot (new)

chucklesthescot I've been really busy in the last few days and I've finished these books since Monday:

Godhead by Ken Mooney , The Grave Winner (The Grave Winner #1) by Lindsey R. Loucks , Warden (Wendigo Fever, #1) by Kevin Hardman , The Beholder by Ivan Amberlake , House For Sale a short tale of horror by Joseph A. Turkot , Living Alone by Joseph A. Turkot

I'm reading Runners by Sharon Sant now.

I was also very disappointed in Iron Wyrm Affair. It drove me crazy. I have read other books by Devon Monk and I have really enjoyed them. I think I'll give the Dead Iron series a try - I keep hearing so many good things about it:)

I was surprised that I enjoyed them as much as I did because westerns typically aren't my thing but the mix of supernatural, western, and steampunk elements worked surprisingly well IMO. I haven't read her Allie Beckstrom series yet though I keep meaning too. It's just looking at a nine book series that keeps me putting it off.

One thing I can say about The Iron Wyrm Affair is that it sure had pretty people on the cover, lol.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) read Zom-B City (Zom-B, #3) by Darren Shan while I was on a work road trip - just got home last night actually. it was the only book I got the chance to read, now im thinking of reading either Shadowfell (Shadowfell, #1) by Juliet Marillier or White Tiger (Dark Heavens, #1) by Kylie Chan


message 1944: by LilMisGrayBrisk (new)

LilMisGrayBrisk I finished City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare and I didn't really care for it. The characters seemed flat to me and the storyline was just ok. The only part of the story that I found interesting was the telling of the Uprising. I doubt I'll continue with it.

I read and enjoyed the first few but the latter books have too much teen angst, love triangles and this kind of " does he love me does he not" kind of thing, so I stopped after the 4th book. That being said, I am not a teen, rather a mom of a teen, so I am not really criticizing, just saying some things about youth I just don't need to re-live.
