For me storm born was just okay.

I've heard really mixed things about the series, which is why I keep putting it off....

[Regina]

The book didn't hold my interest enough for me to continue reading. I also had just gone through the author's two other series. Maybe some day. :)

When I think of Kate Daniels, I think of really intricate world building that is similar to epic fantasy books. I actually can't think of anything similar. But Kate holds a special place in my heart. :)

Mine, too. Nothing else quite compares. Some get close, but Kate Daniels just has the special blend of drama, action, heart, humor, and a unique world.

Man, I can't wait for Gunmetal Magic

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Why can't we have more great world building like the Kate Daniels universe? Hell, even A Mere Formality managed in a few dozen pages to be rich on background story.

Currently reading and liking it.

I would have to agree, I love Richelle Mead and all her other series but could not get into Storm Born. It just seemed like there was an underlying theme of rape and being submissive (which was not expected from the blurb) and it really put me off the rest of the series, even though I bought the first 3 books in advance.

[Regina]

That is frustrating when you buy the books but don't intend to get to them. I know the feeling. I recently bought 2 audio books, started them and just did not like them enough to finish.

[Jeann (Happy Indulgence)]

I know, I'm not quite sure what to do with them at this stage, if I didn't read them before I donated them it would feel like a waste.

[Josie]

Why isn't the library open at 1am so I can pick up right away? I have to wait for hours now...

It actually gets a little better as the series goes... I think it's that first book world building hurdle that makes this one drag a little. I did most of the series in audio which might have made it easier to get thru along with my book buddy texting me about that #%^€£¥!! Kitsuni...

Yesterday I was at my sister's graduation so I didn't read anything. :)

But now I'm back in the horse, continuing with The Second Sunrise (a really crazy book...destined for my 'soo bad it's funny' shelf) and I'm also finishing Lirael which has been really tiresome.

You were missed. :) What did she graduate from? Congrats to her!

I am reading and I am almost done with it. I am listening to

As soon as I am done with Shady Lady I will read this (I cannot wait!), it just came through on my kindle -- it is a short story in the troubleshooters series

[D.G.]

Regina wrote: "You were missed. :) What did she graduate from? Congrats to her!"

Double major in Nutrition & Dietetics. It took a lot of work but she's done now!

[Regina]

Double majors are hard work, that is impressive. :) I hope she finds a job soon! Sounds like she is in a good field.

[Regina]

That one does look good! Let us know how you like it.

Regina wrote: "Double majors are hard work, that is impressive. :) I hope she finds a job soon! Sounds like she is in a good field."

She has a job right now working for a health food store (nothing big but it helps with the bills) so at least she can take her time looking for something better.

[Regina]

That is positive.

[Josie]

Is the last in the series?

[D.G.]

Just started The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in audio (which I'm enjoying).

I also started organizing the first in a series books I have on my TBR and discovered I have 105! Then I organized them on my iPad depending on how many books have been published 1-4, 5-9 or 10+ (in this latter group, I have 10 different series!) Oh well, at least I know I don't continue every series I start.

Thanks Sara!
Waaaahhhh! That's sad but it's kind of nice at the same time, I don't like when a series goes on and on and doesn't know when to stop. Oooh, they look very interesting, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on those :)

I'm too scared to count how many first in series books I have. : )

[Regina]

That seems like a hard thing to organize without a keyboard!

[Christine]

Getting ready to start . I'm so excited for this book

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Sara wrote: "I have 259 first in series books on my tbr list ugh, lol! "

Mmmmm.....314 first in a series books myself.

I did the double checking in my desktop and just created different groups in iBooks. That's the only thing I did on my iPad.

I agree. I really enjoyed . I actually liked it a bit better than Hunger Games.

Following my buddy read, continued on with also read

I loved these books!

[Paris]

Finished last night and I'm jumping right into . I love this series. Also reading on my Kindle. I know a lot of people love this series, just not sure about it so far.

[Regina]

I just finished Shady Lady!

[Paris]

Regina wrote: "I just finished Shady Lady!"

Was it as good as the first two? What I really want to ask is does Chance come back, but I can't. lol

[Regina]

I have a love hate relationship with the series. Shady lady was the betsy so far. The majority takes place in Mexico and Peru. And there is a nice new addition. :)

Now I'm curious. I need to walk away from the computer and get reading.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Finally started which I've had hanging around for a long time. Need to get up to date with this series, cause there's a new one on the way.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Sara & Paris, the Psy-Changelings series just builds & builds. There is a serious series arc that you really can't see in the first couple of books but it is definitely worth sticking at it.

Book #3 is considered by many to be the best, but it is the sort of series you can't skip books or you'll miss stuff.

[Jenne]

Reading & which is really good!

I agree with Sandra. The first two books were good but not great for me, but I loved the third book. It's in the third one that she really starts to build the story arc the spans the series to date. Plus, I just love Judd. : )

Some books of the series are better than others and I think every one of my friends who have read them have a different favorite book, so there seems to be something for everyone in this series. What I really like about it, and why it's become my favorite PNR series, is that I think Nalini Singh does a great job of letting me feel what the characters are feeling instead of just telling me. And unlike some other series she does a great job of balancing the UF-like story arc with the passionate romance plot of each book. They are both integral to the series and you don't have the gross inconsistencies you see in some series (BDB?). Plus, her females are just as strong and central to the series as her males, so they aren't just sitting around the mansion waiting for the boys to come home and have sex with them. They're actually an active part of every story. The more PNR series I read, the more I love this one...


P.S. Number six is my personal favorite.

Another good series. Again, some books are better than others, but overall a solid read. And just when I thought the series was getting worn out, she totally mixed things up in the latest release (#10) and I can't wait to see where she takes it next.

[Paris]

Thanks Sandra and Christine for the input on the Psy-Changelings series. I'll definitely keep it in mind while I read book one. Knowing that it gets better is definitely a plus. I'm so new to a lot of these series so it's great to have people like you guys to give me hope!

[Paris]

Sara wrote: "I'm new to PNR/UF as well, so I have a lot of catching up to do :)"

I look at my TBR pile and sometimes feel like I'll never catch up. lol But I've discovered some amazing series that I never would have read if it weren't for recommendations from people on Goodreads.

So I'm about 145 pages in and I love that Kel's back. Can't wait to get home and read some more.

[Regina]

It had been years since I read #1 so I forgot about Kel!! Glad you are enjoying it. :)

[D.G.]

Ditto what Sandra & Christine said about the Psy-Changeling series. :)

I loved the Psy-Changeling series from the first book but that was the series that made me "get" the PNR genre. Before that, I had read tons of mediocre series which I kept abandoning because I didn't like them at all.

Book #2 is somewhat similar to the first but as the other ladies said, it's really important to read them in order because some characters that are introduced here will show up later.
