I love JLA and I love Covenant series more than VA, but I agree with Laura. Similarities between those two series went beyond coincidence or inspiration. I hove no problem with inspiration when it's under the radar and I'm not against the fanfic. Like Wallbanger, it might have been inspired by Twilight but that's where similarities ended. With Covenant it was more than that. Do you guys remember when Alex and Rose are brought back to academy? That scene in Dean's office made me pause and think if this isn't plagiarism what is? Because Aiden and Dimitri where standing in same position by the same wall, Alex and Rose were sitting in the same freaking chair and both Dean's said exactly same thing. That can't be pinned on coincidence and it was just the beginning. I did see all the similarities, I just decided to ignore and enjoy. :)

@ Annie I think the scene Laura meant is (view spoiler)[Edward and Daemon stopping the truck (hide spoiler)]. I can't think of anything else.

This is first time I heard Obsidian being compered to Twilight but when I started reading Obsidian it reminded me of twilight. But in an "it was inspired by it" way and it grew into its own story pretty fast. For me JLA is a Cleaner. She took VA and delivered polished, improved version. Same goes for Obsidian, if it was really inspired by Twilight kudos to JLA for developing it into the one of my favorite series. Because I'm not a closet Twilight fan and I really hate it. She can keep cleaning up series as long as the authors are okay with it. And if they are who am I to protest? and she can play with anybody's "Lego's" as long as she builds another my favorite series! and that was my two cents! :)

Yeah I thought I'd have a problem with 3rd person pov too. But honestly, it works with this book. It's great to have two POV's, so either way I still feel connected to the story and characters. I'm loving it! But I love mermaids and mythology.

[Irene ~ Witchy Reads]

Finished which was much better than I thought don't let the ugly cover fool you!

[Tonje]

I just finished you were so right ladies! I loved It, give me some Rule :-D

[Anna]

I'm reading and will also begin tonight for a group readalong I'm participating in.

I've read a few other mermaid books and Of Poseidon is the first one I really like! (Not counting mine, of course!) I'm just waiting to get my hands on the sequel. I hope it's just as good or better!

Ooh, I just got that on my kindle. Guess I will be reading that one next then!

I'm currently reading:

After finishing any of these books I intend to start reading:

Adding the others to TBR now....I too am a glutton for punishment!

[Heather]

Erin wrote: "Heather wrote: "Just finished MY GOD, I really wasn't expecting THAT!!!!"

Ugh, I'm scared to read that one for that very reason!"

It's really painful Erin!!

Laura wrote: "Its really good Erin and just as fast paced and easy read as the first book.I really enjoyed it.

Erin wrote: "Annie wrote: "I started , and I'm halfway through and ..."

Yeah, I need to just bite the bullet and make room for it. After reading Arsen I am in serious need of a good old PNR or YA, so it may be sooner rather than later!

[Tee Loves Books]

Well, was one hell of a heavy read and had my emotions all over the map. It's definitely going to be a favorite around here, I'm certain, but wow did Cathy's selfishness drive me batty.

On to for a break from the emotional reads, then and maybe finally

[Annie]

Erin, I want to read that. Sounds good. As long as she's not as bad as Kiera, I'll go batty here and there. But she better not drive me double batty, I'll chuck the book and be done.

She's much worse than Kiera IMO. You'll see what I mean when you read it, but it's set up so you automatically feel differently about the characters than you do in the typical sweet guy vs. the sexy-as-hell bad boy. The are aspects of the plot that made this so very wrong, but I really loved that it wasn't the typical ending we always get with these love triangles. It was completely unexpected, so as much as I hate her, I'm happy with what happened. Definitely going to be some very mixed opinions depending on which "team" the reader is on!! =/

Can't wait to hear what you think!!

[Dakini]

There was a flowers in the Attic movie in the early 90s (?- I think) starring the original Buffy, from the movie not the TV show. Didn't know they were making another one.

[Ekaterine]

Laura wrote: "Yes that was the scene I was talking about.Its been mentioned many times and in reviews.

All this is nothing new to JLA ripping off VA and scenes from other books.Its been talked about in reviews..."

And it is a good point! I understand how frustrating it must be for VA fans when peeps deny the connection between those two series. I was just saying that I'm aware of it all, I just prefer to ignore it. :) Though, I was really surprised Mead is okay with it or she actually got Covenant published.

[S.K.]

That book/movie is so dark. In a chilling, non-monster way. I remember the very first scene with the father dying haunting me for years now whenever someone knocks on our door after dark, I get anxious

Laura wrote: "Oh When I started reading the series I tried to read them and let go but they are just to dang similar I did after the 2nd book just let it flow and roll my eyes I try not to get frustrated and try..."

Enough changes my butt! Have you read The Submissive? FSoG is The Submissive with Twilight characters and more crying, oh and the contract. I feel sorry for the author that James got all the credit. When I get home I will try to find the articles about those two cases, I got really interested.

[Ekaterine]

Finished and I loved it as much as the first two but I was totally disappointed with the way it ended. I think I'm in the minority but I never really liked Daniel. His goodness was unhealthy.

[Irene ~ Witchy Reads]

So I started reading its addictive!!! Didn't want to put it down!

[chinami]

finished

[Ramisha]

Reading Forever by Maggie S.

[Belkis]

Finished reading and loved it. This first book was just great. Wonderful story great writing awesome characters. Had been wanting to start reading this series since forever and so happy I finally made time for it. Will be reading book 2 next month for sure. I'm also halfway through and is pretty good so far.

[Holly]

Starting even though I have books to read for review. :)

I've only read the first one but ugh, I couldn't stand Daniel. No one is that good all the time.

[Amanda (mandy)]

I know. right? From the second book things really got ugly and he still remained Mr. Good. He didn't freak out, he didn't yell, he didn't hit. I'm sorry but not even Canadians can be that nice all the time. Daniel is one of the most boring character I have ever met.

[Ekaterine]

I'm giving another try.

[Donna]

I've started & it's really good. But, I think I'd like a little more... romance? I think I'm going to start something else. Will let you know shortly.... :)

[♥ Rebecca ♥]

Putting on hold to read my ARC of . Sooo good!

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

Come up off the couch? Is that some kind of metaphor? I was referring to anyways. 40% into Sins & Needles and not really into so far.

[Victoria]

reading it is really good, but kind of sad- poor Flynn! It is very well-written so far :)

Agreed. That's pretty much why I didn't follow up on the next book especially since it seemed like it was heading into love triangle territory and I so was not here for that.

[Iqra]

I just started Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.

HAHAHA omg no! I mean it was so intense I got up and walked around while reading because I couldn't sit still lol. Did you read [bookcover:On Every Street|17230557] first? I only ask cuz I'm not sure I would've liked Ellie as much if I hadn't read On Every Street first. It gives you insight to how she was before Javier. I'm glad you're liking though!

Don't let love triangle stop you, because until like 60% of the last book there is very little mention of Daniel's feelings and after that it's ignored until last few pages. the second book is insanely good with a lot of action and I liked third one too. just not how it ended.

[Tonje]

Just finished I loved that one too!

Started last night and it sucked me in almost immediately.
