Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments Finished Bring Me Home (Shattered Hearts, #3) by Cassia Leo and don't get me wrong...the book was great and a nice conclusion to the story but Claire annoyed the life out of me. She is such a self-centered cow. And Adam seems to have a split personality, being just as annoying. The only characters that made it possible for me to finish were Chris, Jackie, Tristan and Senia. Honestly, I do not think I will be reading the prequel or Abigail's book. Abandon, Senia's and Tristan's story yes, but the others definitely not.
Now starting This Much Is True by Katherine Owen .

Mel | 379 comments Finished The Bone Season (The Bone Season, #1) by Samantha Shannon I really enjoyed. Warden and Paige were total badasses I loved it so much. Now I'm starting Untold (The Lynburn Legacy, #2) by Sarah Rees Brennan I didn't care much for the first one but I heard this one was better.

Glad you loved Bone Season. That book was amazing. And I hope you enjoy Untold better than Unspoken. Although both were faves of mine.

Thanks, it really surprised me with how good it was:) I didn't like Unspoken because I couldn't deal with how unreliable a narrator Kami was. She totally kept changing her mind especially concerning Jared every two seconds and I couldn't figure out what exactly was it that she wanted.

I really did love it. I'm super excited for what's to come with Warden and Paige too because I was so not satisfied with that ending lol.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Finished Warmth in Ice (Find You in the Dark, #2.5) by A. Meredith Walters and it was wonderful. So great getting back to Clay & Maggie even if just for a tiny bit :)


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments To go on the Switched (Trylle, #1) by Amanda Hocking Trylle series, I liked it, but I did find it annoying sometimes with it's plot. I guess it was a bit confusing at first. I read it a while ago though, but I do remember liking it, and getting some fuzzies from it.

So I took Belkis' suggestion and read Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, #1) by Larissa Ione and loved it, I just really really wish it'd stay with one character, once we got past the middle of the book you could really tell the author was tying things up so as to have a new character for the next book. I just felt Tays story could go further, but I'll probably read Shade's story to continue since the author does write really well.

I think I might shelve Twisted (Torn, #2) by K.A. Robinson I just can't get into it at the moment. It does remind me of a weird combo of Thoughtless (Thoughtless, #1) by S.C. Stephens and Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1) by Jamie McGuire it's like the two had a baby, or maybe I'm just drawing comparisons where they aren't there, but it's giving me the vibe so I can't get into it.

I am also reading Just Listen by Sarah Dessen and I know it's rated well, it's just going slow and I'm not entirely too patient at the moment, but I'll probably read more later this week.

And still feel free to throw out suggestions. I'll have to go back to Belkis' suggestions to find something else I might be interested in.

Same for me Mel. That ending wasn't terrible but not great either. But I guess it's perfect for setting up the next book. Hopefully the momentum continues getting better and better.

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments Well I just added The Bone Season to my Audios ...probably wont get to it till next year {in 3 days!!} sometime. It had some really bad reviews on audible but Im going to take all of y'all really liking it over those other reviews.

Are you in the mood for a particular type of story or genre Danielle? I find that for myself I have to change up the genre every other book otherwise I get bored.

Yeah, it was kinda killer because Paige spent almost all of the book hating Warden and being distrustful of him and then when they finally put all of that behind them it ends like that, I was like "you cannot be serious." But I feel like a lot of the unresolved things will carry over into book 2 because I doubt we've seen the last of crazy Nashira.

Not sure might need to take an off day. Plus I can go back a pages and check what you suggested before. I definitely liked how well plotted the plot was lol. So more books like that are good. I might go to the. Lux series idk. Lol

Hey you know what Danielle, maybe checkout some of these series. They're centered around one couple throughout all of the books. They just continue with different situations but the main couple and main secondary characters and overall main plot stays consistent.

I actually loved the Audio of The Bone Season Laura. This book has a lot of hard to pronounce names which the narration takes care of for us. Plus the main character is Irish and the narrator pulls off the accent beautifully and brings a whole new dimension to the feel of the story. I was very happy with this one on audio.

So glad you liked the first Demonica book Danielle. And even though each book focuses on a different sibling all of the books follow an overall main plot. Plus all of the siblings and main characters flow through all of the books so you'll still get to have them all tagging along :) love this series!

I liked the Trylle Trilogy all the way up until the end of the last book. It's not how I wanted it to end at all!! But other than that, it was great. And very different.

I've been trying to muster up the emotional courage to dive into this one for a long time Tracy because I know that it's going to gut me when I read it :'( I plan on reading it soon. Hopefully I don't chicken out again.
