Tracy | 237 comments I am reading Obsidian Prey (Harmony, #6) by Jayne Castle and I have to say I love Jayne Castle/Jayne Anne Krentz/Amanda Quick. Her names describe her writing style such as Castle writes futuristic Krentz writes now and Quick writes past. I like all three.

Sandra | 25908 comments Tracy, JAK is one of my fav authors under any name. Great comfort reads and readily re-readable for those of us who like PNR as opposed to those diehard UF lovers :D

Totally agree with that Sandra. I stumbled onto her because I love Dean Koontz and at my library her books are right there with his. The more I saw them the more I wondered so I just started reading. Then I got into the Castle and Quick books. I love everything I have read by her.

Sandra | 25908 comments I started collecting her back in about 1982 when she wrote under Stephanie James, now I've got most but not all of what she's written. Sandra's Krentz Shelf

I enjoyed it, Alyssa. This love triangle was one that I actually didn't hate. I liked both guys and felt they each had something to offer Fran. I also liked getting a POV from all three, when I typically find the back and forth frustrating. Unique all the way around for me.

I'll have to show that one to my DH. Me - Extrovert and Him - Intro. LOL!

Thanks! Always a good feeling to cross off a series, even when you're sad to see them go.

Hope you enjoy THW.

Lucky. I want my buck back. LOL!

Yeah, I would have wanted my money back too. (Ooops.)

Steph (angel4492) | 32697 comments LOL! Least it was only $1, otherwise I'd req'd a refund.


message 758: by Josie (new)

Josie | 1967 comments So I went slightly mental at the library today but can't decide where to even begin reading them... :P

A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness River Marked (Mercy Thompson, #6) by Patricia Briggs City of Ghosts (Downside Ghosts, #3) by Stacia Kane Sacrificial Magic (Downside Ghosts, #4) by Stacia Kane The Sweet Scent of Blood (Spellcrackers.com, #1) by Suzanne McLeod  The Cold Kiss of Death (Spellcrackers.com, # 2) by Suzanne McLeod Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken Dearly Departed by Lia Habel All These Things I've Done (Birthright, #1) by Gabrielle Zevin The Bronze Horseman (Tatiana and Alexander, #1) by Paullina Simons Prized (Birthmarked, #2) by Caragh M. O'Brien


message 759: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32697 comments Wow! I'm jealous of your library. I'd suggest River Marked or Downside. Those just keep getting better, IMO. Course, those are the ones on your list I've read. Not sure about the others. Although I have Prized TBR, so if you go for that one lemme know what ya think of it. :)

Happy Reading!


message 760: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32697 comments Actually, I didnt initially recognize (on my iPad) a couple of the covers you posted, but I've read All These Things I've Done and liked it.


message 761: by Josie (new)

Josie | 1967 comments GTK Steph! All These Things I've Done, I kind of got on a whim but I knew I must've seen someone reading it before cos I recognized the synopsis.

RM or Downside it is then! City of Ghosts is going to be a re-read but I hope one of them fits the shelf tonight :D

message 763: by Literary Ames (new)

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 1854 comments Josie, I think you'll enjoy Brightly Woven. It has a similar feel to Maria V. Snyder's books. That Dearly Departed UK cover continually puts me off reading that book. It's just plain wrong. Makes me think comedy spoof or something.

Tracy | 237 comments Sandra wrote: "I started collecting her back in about 1982 when she wrote under Stephanie James, now I've got most but not all of what she's written. Sandra's Krentz Shelf"

You have all of these Sandra or you have read them? That's quite a collection but I do love her no matter what synonym she writes under.


message 765: by Josie (new)

Josie | 1967 comments Thanks Ames, I've been wanting to read it for ages :)

Actually that's not the cover the library has which is weird, GRs doesn't have it the cover either so here's the link if you click on the cover two more times you get a massive full screen picture. I like it but maybe because it's a nice new book that's making it look better.


message 766: by Literary Ames (new)

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 1854 comments That's a much better cover. I'm glad they've brought a new one. I think it's actually better than the US one because at least it has a zombie on it.

Good luck. I had such a difficult time getting through that book.


message 768: by Josie (new)

Josie | 1967 comments Yeah I thought so too, I found the US one a bit too... pretty. But then again I haven't read the book yet so maybe it suits it better than a darker, zombie-on-the-cover one.

I want to read this one Barbara. Are you liking it? I was wondering if they were as good as the Stephanie Plum series.


message 771: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Tracy did you read the entire Plum series? I did (except for the last few) and couldn't finish Wicked Appetite, my review says why. But I didn't care for it.

That cover is on GR Josie, just went to track it down to add and its already there. Unless someone else has done it in the last 5 hours.

I am current with the Plum series and I loved them. I also read Motor Mouth and it wasn't very memorable. I was hoping it would be better than it was. I haven't liked any of her others as much as Stephanie buy I was hoping the wicked ones would be good.

You have quite a collection going on there Sandra. I have read several of her books as well but I don't own any. I still have many more to read.

message 777: by Josie (new)

Josie | 1967 comments Sorry Sandra, must've missed it!
Oh how well I know OCC - I have been banned from bringing anymore books into the household because of lack of space :P


message 778: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 237 comments Well Sandra and Regina, finished Obsidian Prey and loved it. Once again I must say she is a fabulous author.


message 779: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yep, have to agree Tracy :D


message 780: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 237 comments I have just started Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1) by Kiersten White and it's a pretty good light read.


message 781: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments I am reading Hex Appeal by P.N. Elrod and I really liked the short story by Ilona Andrews and I am loving the short story by Jim Butcher!

I am also reading Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant #3) by Ben Aaronovitch

I loved that one, Lady Cate! I've read Jeaniene's other series and have been dying for a book on Vlad. She did us one better and created a series for him. And, to throw a big, juicy cherry on top, she rocked the first book. :D *super happy fan*


message 783: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Sadly, I'm still waiting for Once Burned but I'm enjoying Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, #1) by Larissa Ione instead :)

Paris (pah13) | 1183 comments Just finished Once Burned (Night Prince, #1) by Jeaniene Frost (which has one of the best covers ever IMO) and I'm hoping for some awesome Vlad dreams tonight. Love him and I loved the book. Jeaniene definitely gave us Vlad lovers something to sink our teeth into.

That's GTK, Jenne, I have that one TBR. In fact, I have passed over it a couple times recently. I'll make sure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

Finished Wicked Nights (Angels of the Dark, #1) by Gena Showalter and LOVED it! That's two great spin-offs from two great series. Makes me :)


Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 1151 comments I'm currently reading Unholy Ghosts (Downside Ghosts, #1) by Stacia Kane so excited to start this series!

Oh how I love downside ghosts besides Fever it's my favorite series! If the first one seems strange to you (a lot of world building) read the next one soon after book 2 it totally sucks you in :)

I ended up giving it 5 stars it was a good start to a series!

Barbara what did you think about wicked business? I have it and was thinking about reading it. I love her Stephanie Plum series and was hoping Wicked Business would have the same air of humor in it.
