Oh yay!! This series is definitely in need of notice, the creepy/suspenseful dystopian storyline and the HOT sexual tension make it a must-read! So glad you enjoyed it!!

I often chalk up the oohs and aaahs over something like this to people simply not having read much better writing of similar stories, ya know? It was okay, but pales in comparison to authors who write the hell out of abuse/domestic violence stories! Like you said, moving on! LOL

Just finished the
series of 6 short stories with one left to be published. About a corporate spy that falls in love with her target. A decent series, super sexy.Gonna start
now.
Reading Starcrossed and after a little but of a slow start I'm hooked. Then I'm gonna jump back to Percy Jackson sea of monsters. Im feeling very into Greek mythology.

My Amazon is just stupid. I've emailed them a whole heap of times saying I couldn't get stuff other Australians could and they were'nt really helpful; saying the publisher organised things. I don't know, maybe other Australians couldn't get these ebooks and I thought they could :)

I can get the majority as well; actually lately it's been okay, but I can't buy Mea Culpa from amazon which is really annoying (But I got it from smashwords, so it's no big deal anymore.) And some other Australians have bought it. Theres quite a few more, btu I can't think of them at the moment.

Ok, so none of Rebecca Donovan's books are coming up available on my Nook! ARGH! So strange. I'd rather read Out of Breath on my nook instead of the kindle app on my phone . . . .

on sale on Audible.com a few days ago. It was super cheap :) try checking it out if you're interested to see if it's still on sale.Now I wonder what's happening with the BDB books on Amazon that you guys can't get them?? I've had them for ages and ages. Sorry you can't get them. If you want I can lend you mine through my Amazon kindle library. Just let me know and I'll send you an email :)
I finished

I can get the paperbacks from BN but not the ebook which is a bummer since I have the first two on there. At least I can get it on my phone, and darn, I may just have to buy it in paperback ;)

It's the first book I'm reading from that author. It's a long one so it should keep me busy for a while. It has pretty good reviews so I'm optimistic I'll like it.

Ugh, the ending for CP2 killed me inside and out. It was still EPIC until that very last part. Gah, it gutted me. I still have not wrote my review for it. Not sure I can without sobbing all over my laptop. Sigh.

Oh, thank you for reminding me I need to send out recs for that one!! I actually got and ARC of Escape from Paradise from the author last month, she's a friend and is just branching out into this genre and I told her I'd give it a whirl. It's absolutely outstanding, I loved it and I'm hoping everyone gives it a chance because it's going to be a huge hit with Dark Duet fans! Thank you for thinking of me, though hun!! =)
Grabbed up Octavian's Undoing, thanks for the head's up!
