Tabboo???
Well dang, Isa. Now I'm interested too! haha

[Isamlq]

It's detailed which slowed things down some but it intrigued me. Then it frustrated me. Then it angered me. Now, it's stuck in my head. If you're into lit-ry fiction, try this.

[Gwennie]

I just read your review, Isa. I'm going to try to get my hands on a copy of that because I want to read it BADLY.

It took me forever to get my thoughts down... Not everyone is going to love the pace but I did. It's detailed, slow, and emotional: joyful early on, confused a lot.. then eventually defiant.

[Gwennie]

I really love YA books that deal with real life issues, and this sounds really amazing. I don't mind slower paces, with this kind of book. If it's too fast you're not getting the gravity of the situation.

[Jenny]

This is one of those books that I've been hesitant to read but also think that I'd end up really liking if I just went ahead and started it. The problem is all the other books jumping ahead of it. Your recommendation definitely helps its case.

[Carina]

Wow that does sound good Isa. And your review was great!

Hi Carrie! Have you tried something by Lauren Oliver? Also Jessica Warman - I have only read one book of hers (Between) but definitely have her down as an author to follow.

[Isamlq]

I don't know if this is self-pub, but it's NA and I've been looking for books like this for a long while now! It's an emotional read and could be construed as melodramatic but it worked for me in the same way that The Storyteller did.




You guys should too...

[Devin]

Have you read Spin? It has a pretty complex plot that involves time outside of earth's atmosphere accelerating. But it also has rich characterization as well as intrigue with competing interests trying to take advantage of the situation.

[Paddy]

I enjoyed entire series
everything by J.R.R Tolkien, in love with elves, or maybe Orlando Bloom ;)
enjoyed it, and its hopefully 1st book in a great series to come.

Didn't enjoy series.

Any suggestion on what should I read next?

[Gwennie]

LOL, how about the Lumatere Chronicles?



It seems like you enjoy fantasy. I'm reading the last one in the trilogy, and I think they're amazing. The first was good, the second was unbelievable.

[Isamlq]

Oh yes, try Finn and Froi!

And perhaps
as well, the next book comes out soonish

Hi Wendy. Thanks for the recommendation :) It sounds like a interesting series, I have added it to my to-read list. Will keep you posted on how I found it to be.

Hey Isamlq, Seven Realms sounds somewhat similar to Lord of the rings. I'm definitely looking forward to taking it up.

[Jenny]

The Seven Realms books are awesome! And the last one comes out in a couple of weeks.

[Ashley]

Hey everyone !! I'm hoping someone can help I'm looking for a ya book that is written in guy and girl pov and super romantic. Im in a mushy mood and need a romance fix . Thanks so much for your help !
P.s im not into the historical

[Jenny]

The only boy + girl POV books that are romancey that I can think of off of the top of my head would be something like . (Dash & Lily is really cute.)

I can think of many books with the boy+girl POV but none where the romance is the main focus are coming to mind. I will have to think on it more and come back to add stuff later maybe.

The Seven Realms books are boy+girl POV and have some romance, but it's a slow progressing thing. It's kinda hard to explain the romance in these because there are a lot of obstacles. But I like it.

[Hillary]

I cannot remember if it really was guy/girl pov in the first book, but the later I do remember it being guy/girl pov.

I know more but I will have to ponder it further. My brain hasn't fully recovered from work yet.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

A lot of Abbi Glines' contemporary romance has a male/female PoV switch. The reason why I remember this is because her guys are always thinking about the girls' asses. They're okay books (I'm not a big fan but she's very popular with romance readers) - heavy on the romance and angst if you like that extreme feeling. I hated Breathe, so I'd say skip that one because it doesn't really tie to the other books in the series. Either go right to book 2 of Sea Breeze or start with Vincent Boys.

Iirc, Tammara Webber's - Between The Lines - series also had a rotating male and female PoV and those are romance as well. It's a fun series.

[Jenny]

This one could count I guess: .

[Diane]

is not really YA but it is boy girl POV and one character is teen. It was pretty good and had YA type of romance ( not detailed sex like adult can be)

[Libbie]

I loved that series and I'm thrilled to bits that we'll be getting a fourth next year!

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Wait, what? There's a fourth?!? Who's the book going to be about? (view spoiler)[Brooke? (hide spoiler)]

I'm kind of perplexed, yet happy at the same time.

Hee! I know. Tammara blogged about it the other day and I have to admit, I squeaked when I saw that. left me with such a bad book hangover, it took me a few days to shake it.

Re: your spoiler? She didn't say, but I think so :)

[Carina]

I thinnk for super romatic guy/girl PoV, would work.
Sam and Grace are one of my top couples of all times =)

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Ah...I really didn't like her but she probably needs someone to straighten her out.

I didn't like Reid much until Good for You =) I'm optimistic.

Oh lord...where to start...OH I KNOW!
These are all sorta a mash up of PN/PNR/UF

Then there is always:

OH AND:

Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series is my favorite, and all of Kay Hooper's Bishop series (there are many of them, usually in trilogies)... I think is the first one.

The first few books of JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood are fabulous...but they fell of rapidly after Lover Mine (imho) and I haven't been back.

I really liked but haven't been back to the series.

A lot of people froth at the mouth over Karen Marie Moning's Fever series, and even though I loathed it, it might appeal. *Edited to add: Looking up, I see it's already been rec'd. Knew it would. I'm alone in that particular ocean.

[Jenny]

My brain is sad right now because it has no recommendations to give. :|

[[deleted user]]

oo thanks, they all look promising, I had a couple on my TBR list but wasnt sure where to start or if they were worth it.

Jenny wrote: "My brain is sad right now because it has no recommendations to give. :|"

Oh no! dont be sad brain, if it helps Im taking up The Demon King some time soonish!

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

I love all of Hillary's recs. Especially Fever, Shifters and Georgina Kincaid. Those are my three favorite adult UF. I'm still learning to love Mercy...I go back and forth on that one, but I'm hoping book 4 will finally convert me.

[Emily]

What about Each chapter alternates between boy and girl POV.

[Libbie]

Oooo, thanks for the rec, Emily! I've never seen this series, but I've got the first one on my TBR list now =)

[Carina]

I double and triple on Hillary's recs for PNR/UF! Those are my favs and I would throw in the BDB series:

I had to drop this series after Unleashed. Very sad panda.

[Carina]

Aww, that's too bad Libbie, but I can see why its not as appealing as it used to be to others.
I think Wards writting made a huge change in the second half of the series. It almost feels like 2 separate series with books 1-5 as one, and books 6-10 as another.
In books 1-5, books 1 and 2 were the weakest to me and book 3 is probably my fav of the series.
And in books 6-10, book 6 was my least fav of the (complete) series and then book 9 was not as good too. But books 7 and 8 I loved! And book 10 redeemed the series again.
I am very hopeful and extatic for book 11 !!!!!

[Gwennie]

They go up and down, but there's always some aspect in the books that I love, myself. I don't think I'll ever stop reading them. And Carina, I can't friggin WAIT for Lover at Last!! Did you see the snippet that Ward posted on Facebook last night?! Talk about a squeee!

I'll second and third Hillary and Carina's picks and also add the Downside Ghost series!

[Carina]

What??? What snippet?
Oh man I just realized, I haveen't liked Wards page!!! No wonder I don't get any updates!!
On my way to "Like" it right now!!

BTW, I really want to start the Downside Ghosts series, I just haven't had time to squeeze it in. Just like with the Kate Daniels series =(

[Gwennie]

Oh man! I forgot that one too! Gotta add that! Love Kate Daniels.



The snippets are awesome, lmao. It's the whole reason I follow her.

[Carina]

Just read it! OMG. I am hyperventilating....gosh I need that book like yesterday!!

[Gwennie]

For REAL!!! Even just thinking about it has me grinning!

[Isamlq]

You beat me to it, Wendy! Also if I could I'd reread all of you recs, guys! DOWNSIDE and KATE DANIELS and MERCY and that SUCCUBUS series? All really good reads.

Listen to these ladies, Melanie! They know their stuff!

[Gwennie]

I love UF, lol. One of my favorite Adult Genere's.

Wow, we have a completely opposite take on the series (though I agree, Phury's was one of my least favorites). My favorites are the first three and then it rolled slowly downhill. John Matthew's gave me hope after the meh, but then came the trainwreck and I walked away. Trying to talk about that on her message boards poisoned me further.

I know I'm pretty much alone in this sea as I am in the Fever series and I'm okay with that. Different things float different boats =)

[Carina]

I try to stay away from series dedicated groups or boards because they can get really....um intense.
And I can totally understand and respect that you don't like the series. And I actually like the variation on opinions. =)
