I finished
and I loved every minute of it. It's so dark and gritty and Chess is do messed up, but there is such a casual elegance to the writing that I was completely sucked in.
Christine I am so glad you liked it -- I agree with everything you wrote about it. ;)I finished the audio of
and the narration was really bad. I am not sure how it affected my enjoyment of the story. I finished
and I continue to love this series.I am reading/listening to now:
Just finished
and boy what an emotional rollercoaster, loved it.

Luckily I got to read it for Shifters :)
Who here has read
? I am loving it! I am not sure why it doesn't get more attention?? It is really good -- am I alone here?
Regina wrote: "Who here has read ? I am loving it! I am not sure why it doesn't get more attention?? It is really good -- am I alone here?"I started it once, but just couldn't get into it. Not sure if it was me or the book though.
Regina wrote: "Who here has read ? I am loving it! I am not sure why it doesn't get more attention?? It is really good -- am I alone here?"I've had it on the stack to read ever since I read her Walker Papers series (Urban Shaman). But sadly, something else always gets in the way. Have you read the other series? I'm curious how they compare.
Christine I haven't read her others. Did you like her other series?Paris interesting. It grabbed me right away.
Regina wrote: "Christine I haven't read her others. Did you like her other series?Paris interesting. It grabbed me right away."
It was probably just me. That happens sometimes where I'm just not in the mood I guess. I usually will try twice with a book (at least a few months apart) and then after the second time if I can't get into it then it's forever on the DNF shelf. Most of the time it takes me awhile to get to the second chance since there are sooooo many books on my TBR list.
Also I am listening. So maybe that makes a difference.

I do like the Walker Papers. It's not a Wow! series that blows me a way, but they're nice solid reads. And the heroine has a good sense of humor, which I always enjoy.
Very good to know! I do keep hearing about that series.

I liked how it's sort of a continuation of what happened in book 10 (not switching completely to something else.)
Shieka( Doctor's Notes) wrote: "I'm reading Dark Kiss"I'm interested to hear what you think of that one.
(and, Welcome to the group, Shieka!)
Finally got
after waiting 28 days for it to get through administration at the library.
Regina wrote: "Who here has read ? I am loving it! I am not sure why it doesn't get more attention?? It is really good -- am I alone here?"I listened to it a few years back in audio. I liked the idea of a gargoyle hero, but the romance moves at a slow pace. It reads like a paranormal mafia series with vampires, djinn, etc.
Paranormal mafia ~ sounds cool
It is! And Lis, you are so right. It is very slow building, but I am liking it. I may get frustrated. :) I think the narrator is really good.

Wow, you must be a super fast reader Lis! What's a Discovery of Witches like? I've got the book and it looks like a hefty one.
Bingo always makes me read more. DoW was Ok, but the audio was cheap last month so I grabbed it. It's a good storyline but IMO there's a lot of academia talk and other fluff that makes it a little heftier than needed. Left off with a little cliffhanger so I'm going to continue on with hefty#2...
I have the audio of DoW waiting for me. Did you like The narrator?
What'd ya think of Tymber's menage, Lis? I need to read #3.
Steph wrote: "What'd ya think of Tymber's menage, Lis? I need to read #3."I liked it, of course the first one had me sucked into the storyline. Just be prepared for much much drama, these were surprisingly good beyond the steaminess you'd expect to find.
Regina wrote: "I have the audio of DoW waiting for me. Did you like The narrator?"
Actually the narrator wasn't bad. There are a few different accents for all the vampire characters. I just downloaded the 2nd which is 24hrs+, very long listens.

Thank you! Very good to know. :)
Lis, I LOVED Love Slave for Two: Beginnings and Love Slave for Two, but still have Family Matters TBR. Have you read #1 or maybe it's the prequel? "Beginnings"? I believe it was written after "for two", but is more of a look at the boys and how they met. I'm definitely reading "Family Matters" soon, you've got me missin' the boys now. ;)
I am reading
and it is an adventure/computer fantasy story set in an unnamed middle eastern country. It is one of the best books I have read all year. It is amazing.
It's been a busy week and I've been bad and just racking up the books but not updating anything so here goes. I had a great week and loved everything I've read. Yay!Finished
Reading
and Listening to
I haven't read Fern Michaels in years. Need to get back to those.
How are you liking it, Bleunween? I loved it, but many do not care for it.
I remember reading the Nikki & Michael series and jumping onto the Riley Jensen series. I loved it and don't care to think how many times I re-read those books. I liked all the little gizmos and little evil creatures...
I've never been able to get the Nikki & Michael series, but it's being re-released in the US in Oct, yay!
I bought the N&M series while in Australia. I liked it. It was funny reading one of her first series after reading Riley. You will notice a difference in her writing b/c it's not as well-done (maybe not the right word - maybe she didn't have the same confidence at the time; not sure) as Riley, IMO. But, I really liked their story (Nikki & Michael). Have either of you read her Ripple Creek Werewolves Duology?
I bought those in AU also. Looks like they're being re-released later this year. I liked those too.

I just found out that my library has them though so I've got plans to read them. It is weird to read her earlier stuff after the Riley series. But I've enjoyed everything I've read of hers except Mercy Burns which is the second book in the Myth and Magic series.
Same here - I haven't read DC or SS either. Strangely, out of them all, I rated M&M the lowest. Not that 3★ is a poor rating, but I was surprised I didn't like those more than I did. Dragon shifters are wicked, but I think I was expecting something more similar to Riley. Dunno. I have only just started her Dark Angels spin-off and I'm enjoying it. But, still miss Riley most of all.

Just finished
. I'm moving right through these Psy-Changeling books. I'm really glad someone picked it for me for a Pick For Me challenge.Now on to
while I also try to fit in
or
before the next bingo shelf is called.
I got
in the post today (I did order it, it didn't just turn up out of the blue *sigh* if only) - I'm really excited to read this one. I might try to wait until Bingo but it probably won't be on the shelf that's called :D

I listenned to the audiobook for Game of thrones, great narrator while doing household stuff."
That's a good idea. I'm on a pretty good roll so far this month reading a book a day or so. I should be able to fit a freebie in. I really wish the Kindle Fire had collections like the original Kindles do. It would make looking at my book list a tad less overwhelming.
