"One of my favourite series, enjoy!
Read 6/2/12 4.5★Moira rogers is the talented writing team of Bree & Donna, Crux is the first book in the Southern Arcana series.
Mackenzie finds herself running from a crazed stalker who seems to be able to find her no matter how far she runs, eventually she arrives in New Orleans where her eyes are opened to a world that she didn't know existed. all she can think is - is this really happening or is she going crazy?
I really enjoyed this book, a different take on shifters & magic users. I am a huge Big Cat shifter fan so when I saw this had Cougar's - I had to buy it! I will be continuing on with this series :)
The Mane Attraction by Shelly Laurenston 02/06****Hilarious!
I love Laurenston books, and this one didn't disappoint, the whole thing just a fun, quick read.
These guys are... so weird and wonderful in their own way. I think it's amazing that a writer can create characters so different from all the other ones that you can single them out easily, I mean, I don't think I have ever read a Sissy, Smitty or Ronnie in another series. The only ones I can relate them to are the girls in the Magnus Pack series, and that's Laurenston too.
Yes, she certainly creates unique, wonderful characters. Hadn't thought about the names and you are dead right :D
Sandra wrote: "Yes, she certainly creates unique, wonderful characters. Hadn't thought about the names and you are dead right :D"But it's more than just the names, I mean.. can you remember any other series where the female characters are so... so... vicious?
Maybe Kresley Cole's Valkyries or the Witches in the IAD series but even them are kinda tamer compared to this girls.
And about the names.. Jesus!, after all the Maes and Lees and Rays attached to every name I just went with the flow, sometimes I couldn't remember who was who and only found out because of something he/she said or did and I was like "oh yeah, the mom" or "ahhh right!, the geeky alpha dog".
Yep, I'm a bit the same re the Maes, Lees & Rays, I think I need a cheat sheet sometimes. LOLSpeaking of bad girls, wait till you get to Dee-Ann Smith in
'Nough said.

'Nough ..."I've still to read that one! Hmmm... I love Shelly's books. Here Kitty, Kitty! is still my favourite... so far :)
No pressure ladies but Black Cats have their first stamp! The game is really up and running now :)
I only have 15% to go on my Kindle.....arrrggghhhhh damn work!! it always gets in the way of my reading ;D
Plenty of time, don't stress! I hope you are enjoying your books though :)
I am stressing because I want to know what happens next....I can't wait to get home :)

all day but the kids are demanding Mummy time!
Jade aka MrsTosh wrote: "I am stressing because I want to know what happens next....I can't wait to get home :)"LOL!!!!
I just checked out the other team names and I know I am biased but, I think we have the best one! Good going, Zina...
Im done!! Review to follow :)
Jade aka MrsTosh wrote: "Im done!! Review to follow :)"Yay! :)
I love the name, ladies! :D
I gave this book 3*After being a fan of Vampire Academy and loving the way Meads writing seems to drag you inside the book....i was expecting great things from this.
The book tells the story of Georgina Kincade a Sucabbus who's job is to have sex with mortal men...only the bad ones of course! She gets dragged in to a battle where various supernatural creatures are being attacked, and she gets involved trying to figure out who. attacker is
This book has plenty of variety, demons, angels, vamps, lots of action and plenty of sex...even a little romance. Unfortunately though for me there was something missing, it didn't drag me in like I thought it would, until I got maybe to the last few chapters. I did enjoy the banter Georgina had frequently with Seth that's is probably the only thing that kept me reading....and the fact I hate to be beaten by a book!
Jade, I have a love/hate relationship with Richelle's writing. I'm never sure whether it's a bad thing that she P*sses me off so much or her writing is just that good that every book is a rollercoaster. I gave up with Georgina after a few books after certain happenings with Seth. Hopefully you're next book will be a more enjoyable read! You finished this on the 7/2? Just to confirm for the list :)

Yeah i know what you mean! I did yes Michelle :)
I'm feeling awfully proud of myself - I figured out how to link our reviews to my post to keep us up to date :) Now I need to read, so many good books released this week and I'm still playing catch up, I have a few reviews to do too. I'm seriously thinking of putting names in a hat to help me decide where to start...
I'll get my free space book read this week, I'm procratinating a little cause I know it will end in a cliffhanger and then I need to wait until January to find out what happens next. Don't you hate that? :)
Morning...Michelle good job!!!
I sure am loving the Dark Hunters...thankfully at this point I dont have to wait for the next book to be released...I have some catching up to do I'm on #1 and there is what 22 so far,,...but I know what you mean about waiting for the next release......I should be done my free space read possibly tonight or tomorrow.....
Saw that two teams have stamps now ....BlackCats read super fast....impressive....
I havent read any of those books the rest of you selected but I am intrigued by
....Have a great day!
I fell asleep too quickly last night and only got another 10% read... I got a cheap education this first week. NEXT week I will pick a shorter book! Live and learn...

It is good that you are GoodReads saavy...great work!

Live and learn..."That is a great lesson for later weeks, the first month there really isn't a hurry but by the time there are 6 groups waiting on one shelf being called for a Bingo win - shorter is better. Of course they still have to be 200+ pages as per the guidelines :)

You have a lot of catching up to do! That's a good thing though. Some are better than others - I wasn't too fond of the Dream Hunter one's until the last one, the Were Hunter's are amazing & of curse there's the Dark Hunter's themselves and now there's a YA spinoff too... Yip, you'll be busy for a bit! :)
Oh... and thank you both! I was seriously proud of myself! html coding can be pretty confusing to me. Baby steps though - right? ;)

Don't you hate that? :) "I know just what you! I had this problem with the House of Night Books, it took so long for the next one to come out I was always left on that cliff edge! then by the time the next book was published I had forgotten where I left off and the series unfortunately started to dragggggggggggg! I still have the last 2 books to read, just not sure if I can be bothered :)

I only bought awakened cause it was in the £1 shop! Haven't read it yet nor do I plan to any time soon.
lol I know the feeling I bought it because I have all the others and it has sat in my wardrobe since I think about July last year!
Quick question......do we all have to read the free read before we get the stamp? or just the specific shelf book? thanks
Jade aka MrsTosh wrote: "Michelle wrote: "I'll get my free space book read this week, I'm procratinating a little cause I know it will end in a cliffhanger and then I need to wait until January to find out what happens nex..."I dropped that series too. It was beyond frustrating. I liked the raven mocker storyline and I like Aphrodite, I wanted Heath to be marked and turned, and I wanted Z to stay dead. None of that happened so I stopped reading. I thought if they make another circle and describe it the same way - I will SCREAM!!!!!
Jade aka MrsTosh wrote: "Quick question......do we all have to read the free read before we get the stamp? or just the specific shelf book? thanks"I checked in the rules and you are right. We ALL have to have the free space book read before we get the free space stamp, but I don't think it effects our B2 Supernatural stamp.
I know talk exactly what you mean the only thing that kept me reading was Stevie-Rae and the Raven moker!! ALL Zoey's character did was fall in and out of lust with every male character or moan!! lolAbout the stamp thought that may be the case, just wanted to check I wasn't holding anyone up as I haven't read my free read yet :) thanks Katie
Each stamp is seperate, all 5 of us have to complete the books for each specific shelf to get that stamp but like I said, it's still early. Take your time :)
Okay, 91%...should be able to finish the last 39 pages at lunch!

I am finished. read 10/2 4.5 stars - review:I really love this series. If you are looking for a great UF; look no further than Sandman Slim...I love the characters. I love Kas, Lucifer, Mustang Sally, Jack the Ripper, and especially Candy. I like that the story is angsty and full of action. Plus, all kinds of great quotes! "I'd bet the Pope's red shoes," is my favorite of this book. This installment has Sandman Slim going back to Hell to try and stop a war that will destroy both Heaven and Hell.... After all the dust is settled, Aelita is still on the loose - I can 't wait to read how the Sandman finishes her off! I need the next book...right now. If you like the Bourne series, and if you like Dresden then you will love this series!
