Finished up the Nightwalker series with and what a great wrap up of a good series.
Also read which wasn't that great for me. Wrapping up and starting for challenges.

Audrey - I hope you like . The Chicagoland Vampires is one of my favorite series. Happy reading!

[Christine]

was great. I liked seeing more development of the relationship between the different characters.

Over the weekend I read and was sadly disappointed in the final installment of the Nightside series. I just wasn't as fun and exciting and gruesome as the otheres.

But I am almost done with and, as usual with Jim Butcher, I am loving it!

[Paris]

So I'm starting which I'm super excited about because this trilogy has been so amazing so far.

I'm also starting and the beginning is once again a little slow to get started. Are all of the books in the series like this?

I have read up to book 7. I think they are all similar in pacing. I don't really like the main character or her romantic interest, but the ending of the first book blew me away and I had to read the next one. That just kept happening until I ended up almost finished with the series. There are some good secondary characters that I really like (I don't think you've met Shame yet), so that keeps me going. Plus, Devon Monk is really good at changing things up. I can remember clearly which book is which just because she never repeated herself and there are clear story arcs. I used to live in Portland, OR so that makes it even more interesting to me. I do think that most of the action usually happens towards the end of the books. I think... Hopefully, that helps.

Thanks Jean that helps a lot. I'm not usually a patient person, but if they are all like book 1 in the pacing, then I can work through it. I like the story enough and am interested in reading more about Allie and her world. I also love the setting. I'm from Seattle and have been to Portland many times. I always love when I know the place where the book takes place.

I originally picked up
because it was set in Portland. Devon Monk does a good job of managing the story arcs. There's a large story arc for the whole series (9 books), and then mini story arcs over 3 books each (i.e., books 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9). She's done some pretty bold things with her characters. Just wait until you get to the end of . There's a pretty big "WHAT?!!" moment.

Have you read ? It's set in Seattle. I liked it. It took me a bit to connect with the main character, but it had grabbed me by the end.

[Paris]

I haven't read yet, but it's on my TBR list. Love that its set in Seattle. I think I'll have to move it up. Thanks. I tried the Greywalker series by Kat Richardson cause it's set in Seattle and really could not get into it which bummed me out.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Took me until the 3rd book to like Greywalker series.

[Jean ~ Kindle Queen]

The Greywalker series is on my TBR list too. I'm not sure I could stick with it until the 3rd book, Valerie. I'll still try it one of these days...

[Gin]

I couldn't get through the first book in the Greywalker series either. The medical aspect of it was hard for me to swallow.

[Paris]

A friend of mine really recommended the Greywalker series and I was hard up for books at the time (long before I found Goodreads) so I've read I believe the first 4 and I won't go any further.

[Christine]

Starting so I can read which I just picked up yesterday!

It took a long time for the main character to find out her power and how to use it. it is at this point that I really started to like the series. In the last 2 books she really look into her past which is quite entertaining. The mysteries are darker too and more personal to her so I am hooked...but it took 3 books to get there. It was reading challenges that got me to read them...some letters for yearly challenges can be hard to find.

Thanks Valerie! I compared our books and and we seem to rate quite similar. I might have to give this series a try again then.

Regina, can you be a member/reviewer of netgalley if you do not have a blog or work in the publishing industry?

[Regina]

Yes! There are a few great threads in netgalley in this groups. I think the section in around the WWW. There are 2 or 3 threads. Check them out, there is info on signing up and preparing your bio.

[Literary Ames]

Recently read and today I read which I'd recommend for Maria V. Snyder and Graceling fans. All different genres: historical romance, post-apocalyptic and fantasy, respectively.

[Lis]

Finished and as a quick filler read. Working on .

Finished a re-listen of and on audio and loved it. Jenks is my little hero and he can move his pixie family to my garden anytime.

I'm so excited. I almost don't want to read it cause then it will be over and I'll have to wait again.

[Paris]

All this talk about the Hollows series almost makes me want to try them again. I got all the way through to and I couldn't finish it. Because of that I haven't read any of the ones that came after it.

[Alyssa]

Just finished . It was amazing!

And now I have no clue what to read next.... *sighs* It's gonna be a book for the 'demons' shelf, but I can't choose after that awesomeness.

Here are my choices.... Any opinions?

sooo many things happen in that one! 6star read for sure.

[Alyssa]

Haha thanks everyone! You're all soo great! (I totally know you'd say Magic Slays, Sandra.)

I thought about it, and I decided to go with . Gonna save Magic Slays for later, in case I get in a reading slump or something.

:-D

But...but...but...Kate....Curran! I know folks love Barrons, but for me he's no Curran! I guess it makes sense if you're saving them for a special occasion....
: P
Enjoy!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That could've been the only acceptable excuse Alyssa, so all right.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Started . It had been sitting on my TBR pile for a while now but I whished I had started it sooner. I like the virus angle and the fact that the shifters are just animals needing to be caged with no 'higher' brain function.

[Julianne]

I finished and today and I'm now reading
Not what I thought it would be but I'm liking it.

[Regina]

I definitely prefer Curran over Barrons. Yeah, Barrons is fascinating and raw sex, but he is a sociopath! LOL. I did love the Fever series though, straight 5 stars for me in all the books. Kate Daniels is less an emotional read for me, but I like the series so much better than Fever.

I just finished and it was FREAKING amazing. I think it is the best Alpha & Omega book yet. Now I can go back and finish which I have been dying to return to.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Regina, I'm definitely a Curran girlie :D

And so jealous you got to read Fair Game. Just waiting impatiently for my copy. LOL

[Regina]

Sandra, it is so good. It is a meaty book too, which is nice. Briggs pushed the story arc forward -- and the world. Less than 2 days until it is out!

[Lisa Kay]

Well, thanks to the heads-up from Regina, I'm listening to and then reading over the next two days, so I won't have a spoiler for - which I splurged on and ordered in hardback b/c I the A&O series!

[Regina]

Lisa Kay, even though I received an ARC I am still buying Fair Game - the audio. THAT is how good it is! Darn! I want to read it again, now. :) I love your images, you always have the best ones. :)

It kind sucks though, that you have to use up all the Briggs goodness for 2-3 days. It is for a good cause though!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Just had a look at my order for and I ordered it on 17 Aug 2010. And then of course it has to get to Australia ... *sigh* ...
