Such a satisfying series...not sure what..."
I recently finished that series as well, listening to the audio. I was actually surprised that I liked it as much as I did, but I really fell for the relationship between the main characters.
Finally, finally getting around to
and I really like Beast.Also reading
which reminds me a bit of the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne in the tone and style of writing.

a good ending to the series. Will then move onto

the book has lots of potential but it managed to fall fairly flat in a few areas and our heroine is quite frequently TSTL. At any rate there is enough there which makes me curious about the next book so I will check it out eventually.Next up for me is

"My husband just bought the Wool omnibus this past weekend so hopefully I can get to it when he's done, though he's a notoriously slow reader.
I'm still reading
.Also, saw that Amazon is offering a free extended preview on Kindle of Sabina Kane's new series

I'm almost done with
(seriously, ten pages left to go, why isn't my lunch break longer?!) and it's been quite a fun read. I think the main character may be a little too much of a smart ass for some, but I enjoy the tone of his writing and look forward to John Charming's next adventure.
But what to read next? I'm thinking it might be time to get back to Kitty and Martini and
. Maybe.
Right now I'm reading
and I'm enjoying it more than I anticipated. Maybe it's because I bought it at a library sale for only $1!.
I'm currently listening to

, then will move on to

My book club and I are reading
. I'm really liking it, but I'm reading it on Kindle, which I share. So I have other books going like
, which is less fun than it sounds like...
The Plague Forge Which I'm not liking as much as the previous two books, even though it is good.
Pride and Prejudice The book that started it all. Haven't read any UF for a while...
just read dream thieves by maggie Stiefvater, wow, just as good as the first. well worth the read. never been disappointed by this author yet.

It's okay. It really is good, just not quite as riveting as the first or second. I'm having trouble keeping interest even though I'm almost done.
Not Urban Fantasy, but I just finished Blood Song and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys epic fantasy in the style of Sanderson or Martin.

Midnight Bluelight Special is one of my favorite books.
I recently read both Dragon's Blood and Lord's Fall by Thea Harrison and really liked the relationship between Dragos and Pia as well as the excellent storyline! These were both 5 star books for me :-).

Being in Shame's head was... different from the Allie series...Some characters of that series were present, and it had some spoilers for the Allie Beckstrom series, but this book was totally different aside from that.
Shame is interesting as ever. You've got to read this book.
Midnight Bluelight Special is one my very favourites too. I could read the book just for the Aeslin Mice!

I've been meaning to read Blood Song for so long. So, this book is good?

Oh, good to know. Then, I'm bumping this book on my to-read list:)

I loved Hell Bent! It was my favourite UF book so far this year.
I've just read
, next up will be
and
.
I just finished 
which was pretty good. I'm not a big fan of vampires, and it helps that this book treats them rather tongue-in-cheek. Well written, and the start of a series I'll probably pursue.
and
This is a paranormal cop series and although I liked it, I'm still not entirely sure I'll continue with the series. It's definitely different, and that's a good thing.
I hope this is urban fantasy -- but I'm starting
.
I finished
, which I enjoyed a lot. Now I'm on to the next book in the series:
. I'm so surprised at how much this book has captured my attention. It's one of those that keeps running through my mind all day long and I can't wait to get back to it:) It's been a while since I've found a book like that.
I finished Eternal Hunter
last night and it wasn't that great. I doubt I'll read the other two books in the trilogy.

I love the White Trash Zombie series... I'm afraid that this might be the last one in the series though:( Hope you enjoy it!

I don't know what changed... but something finally drew me in. Hope you find it better the second time around:)

Okay, I haven't looked yet, but I haven't heard anything about a next book in the series.
