I finished
last night and jumped right into
. Hopefully I'll get to read more tonight, but my eyes hurt so I might just end up going to bed early.On the
front I'm 20% into it and liking it more than I thought I would.
I'm reading from the Demonica series too
. I was worried about forgetting the world/characters because it's been a while since I read the first but it's going okay so far :)I might abandon
because it's really slow and kind of dull (and I think it's lied in the book synopsis! I can't believe it, maybe I need to keep reading). I had higher hopes for this anyway, I might try to power through
Oh, that is disappointing! Weird about the synopsis?!!I am reading
which is kinda like PNR set in a post-apoc world. I am really liking it so far.
I finished
last night and I can see what the appeal is to this series. Although it definitely followed the general PNR formula, I really loved the world. If I didn't have so many books in my must read now TBR mountain, I'd read the next one in the series right now.Instead I'm gonna start reading

Paris wrote: "Psy-net is freaking creepy. that alone will keep me reading the series at least for awhile."Nalini Singh does a really good job balancing an ongoing story arc about the Psy and Silence along with the romance in each book. Just wait till you get to book three. (view spoiler)
Midnite Marie wrote: "I've just started Dragon Actually by G.A.Aiken. Liking is so far. Anybody else read this series, I've seen it get mixed reviews, but I'm enjoying it."I didn't care for the first one very much. The lead female (Annwyl??) was just too abrasive for me. But I got sucked into a buddy read of the second one, and enjoyed it much more than the first. It's one of those series where I have to not think too much and just go with the flow.
I like Deborah Cooke's Dragonfire series better:
Christine! Did you see the cover of Trapped?
Granuaile in the cover and all!!
Can't wait for November!

I know! I just saw it today when I was double checking the release date. Atticus is looking pretty hot, too. I can't wait!

*snicker*. It does, doesn't it
Dang it. You ladies are making it difficult for me to wait. I liked what I saw of said Stud in the first book and everyone seems to love him...

and Man! That scene in the epilogue was HOT! Can't believe I forgot that! Damn!
You know he just keeps getting better with each new release and all the TK skills. I was thinking if you had to rate in order your top 5 Psy/chg guys, who would they be?
Lis wrote: "You know he just keeps getting better with each new release and all the TK skills. I was thinking if you had to rate in order your top 5 Psy/chg guys, who would they be?"Good question! Let's see...1 & 2 are easy: Judd & Hawke. Then maybe Riley, Dorian, and Drew. Riaz was pretty hot in the new book, but we haven't known his character as long. And I'm hoping Psy Counselor Kaleb gets his own book. I just know he's got some serious stuff going on in his past. And someday, when he's all grown up, Kitt!
1 Drew (he's got the Rhage vibe), 2 Hawke, 3 Judd (he can do those magic TK things), 4/5 Dorian and Lucas (luv cats)... Kit, Kenji, Tomas, Kaleb are getting interesting, need more.
On her blog a year or two ago someone was begging her to write a book about the rat alpha. They made a surprisingly good argument for him, but I have a heard time seeing it.
Hawke and Sienna are probably my fave H/h and I'd definitely be up for seeing Teijan find a mate. I mean he must be a little tortured since he (view spoiler) and we all know how we feel about a handsome, tortured hero ;)I've just finished and really enjoyed
. It's like a cross of all the urban fantasy books (I put the connections in spoiler tags just in case):Rachel Morgan - (view spoiler)
Anita Blake - (view spoiler)
Dresden Files - (view spoiler)
Cassie Palmer - (view spoiler)
and a touch of Weather Wardens - (view spoiler)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
Yes I enjoyed Grave Witch too Josie, finished it about a month ago and had to buy the next 2 :)Started
this afternoon, good so far.
Yeah I wanted to go straight onto the next one! I knew I should've grabbed it at the library when I had the chance, I just didn't learn my lesson with Changeless/Blameless did I! Also I got Hard Bitten without taking out Drink Deep which was ridiculous of me... *facepalm*Enjoy Kitty, I've only read the first two so need to get cracking with that series, I'm glad you like it!

I still need to start that series (Alex Craft), Josie. I have 1-2 on-hand though. Big surprise, I know.Sandra, I didn't realize that I'd blown past ya on the Kitty Norville series. hehe ;) I just have Kitty's Greatest Hits and #10 out soon TBR.
I started
yesterday and haven't had time to sit and read. But, so far it's good. Chess @ 18, still a Church student.

Maybe, but it looks pretty rock hard. Between the tattered jeans, scrunched up tshirt, necklace, and tousled curly hair I just want to sink my claws into all that yummy goodness. I also can't wait to see what Granuaile will play since she's made it to the cover.

Maybe there will be a need for a little sex magic....
I'm trying to finish
at the moment which is a bit of a chore, I think I grew bored of this series after the 2nd one.

That means you're only half a book ahead of me. LOL.
I can't stand the Iron Druid series and I still think the cover is delish. :DI started
and I am still listening to
Regina wrote: "I can't stand the Iron Druid series and I still think the cover is delish. :D..."And there I thought I was the only one who didn't like this series. But I agree on the cover!
I just finished
which I didn't enjoy as much as the previous two books and I'm about half way through
, which started a bit slow but seems to get better and better.
My hubby is on book 4 of the Iron Druid series; he really likes it. I, however, haven't read any of them yet. No real rush to either, but I have them when/if I wanna. Don't think I mentioned it at the time, but I read
a month or so ago and LOVED it. It was probably the best (or one of the best) YA angel/demon books I have ever read. I cannot wait for book #2. Has anyone else read it? If so, what'd ya think?
Oh funny you say that, Steph, I was just looking at that yesterday and wondering if it was any good. Glad to hear you love it, I'm always wary of YA angel books after Fallen &co but Angelfall and Unearthly seem to have gone some way to restore my faith. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on it :)@Kerstin: So pleased that you're getting into 'Master of Crows' - I loved it! It's just my type of book really.
I have enjoyed several others (esp. Angelfall! - it didn't feel like a YA to me) though I haven't read Fallen. Some of the angel books I've read in the past (YA and adult) have been a little too religious-heavy for my liking. SE's heroine is very religious, but it felt right not forced - if that makes sense. Anyway, don't wanna scare ya off thinking it's Bible pushing or anything, so I'll stop there. LOL!
That's true, Angelfall wasn't really YA - I took it off that shelf straight after finishing it lol :PReligion is a tricky subject in books, eh?
was religious (at the very least faith was a heavily explored theme) but I could handle it since it was set in a fantasy world. That sounds really weird, doesn't it...
Yesterday I started
which was going really well but it was in print so when I needed to read something at night, I was too lazy to turn on the lights, LOL! Anyhow, then I started
on my iPad which is very powerful so far but I don't know if it will have a HEA (interracial couple in Texas after WWII) and the author is really telling it like it was. No whitewashing the whole segregation business.
No, I understand what you mean, Josie. ;)Sound intense, DG.
Kaleb's book should be very good. I gotta read Tangle soon!
LOL Sara, GTK.
I've finished
and enjoyed a peek at Church-Student-Chess @ 18.I've started
and am enjoying it so far. The H/h are both a bit buttoned up, so I'm lookin' forward to their "unbuttoning". Wink wink nudge nudge LOL!
Just finished
last night and even though I rated 4/5 I'm still totally unsure about it. The book had all of the things I've come to love about Ann Aguirre's books, but the whole setting of the book and some of the character developments left me annoyed. I can't wait for the next book, which is supposed to be the last in the series, to see how she wraps all of this up.Now on to finishing up

A lot of readers were infuriated by some events in book 2. While I didn't "like" it, I felt it really worked with the story and the history of these characters. I'll be curious to see what you think.
Sara wrote: "Starting
this afternoon :)"I just finished that on Saturday, and I really enjoyed. Actually, I enjoyed it more than the books from her other series. I'm hoping to get to the next in the series, Immortal Rider, soon. Especially since it starts with the dread I, which I need for several challenges.
