R4: Team #13 ~ Black Cats
Awwww, OK. Updated Miss :)
I finished
this morning 4/1. I stayed up most of the night finishing it. Love the series as each book is tied together. Plus this story was great. I loved how each character interacted and the result at the end :) On to reading the next one this afternoon :)**edit 5stars
Emily, I had a look and I read that one back in 2008, so I'm a little fuzzy on the details but I did give it 4 stars.Speaking of which you need to edit your review and give it a rating ;)
Reader's Choice 4/2/12 ★★★★★
Love Shelly Laurenston's humour and shifter communities, anything by her is an automatic buy for me.
Cella "Bare Knuckles" Malone, she-tiger, enforcer for the Carnivore Shifter Ice Hockey team, contractor for the KZS (Shifter Special Ops) goes to a party and ends up naked on top of an up-tight Polar Shifter. He is Lou Crushek "Crush" an undercover Cop and Polar triplet.
Neither H or h want anything to do with the other and it is quite funny watching them get together in amongst the Malone clan shindigs and the crazy Group, KZS and cop takedowns. Someone is hunting big game shifters and then stuffiing them.
Then there are the crazy bears led by Crush's foster mother Peg, who he hates. And his idiot brothers who still work for her.
Loved the references to Shifter Dingoes and the fact that lots of previous couples make more than just a fleeting appearance in this book. Indeed several of them are involved in both the shifter hunting and/or the ice hockey team.
Love this series and really looking forward to the next one.
, 2/4/2011, 4.5 stars.This is a very well written book but in an understated way which I thoroughly enjoyed. It has one of the best 3D heroes ever. The ending was well rounded and left me quite satisfied although I want to read the next book so bad right now just so that I can experience Eugenides's world a little bit longer. Would have given it 5 stars but I have a feeling the next book will be better, the character and the story certainly have room to grow into something even more amazing.
I just finished my book for PNR-UF shelf (4/2) and gave it 3 stars.Review:
Corine heads to her small hometown in Georgia to finally solve the mystery behind her mother's death.
What I liked:
* The dark curse was interesting and the town was extremely creepy.
* Love Chance. It was tough on him being without his luck.
* Shannon was a nice addition.
* Butch is adorable.
What could have been better:
* I hate triangles. And I hate them even more when the wrong guy is in the lead.
* The end - see above.
Thanks Emily :)
Excellent work ladies :)Looks like I'll have to look into The Thief, Miss.
Diane, did you decide on a book for Reader's Choice?
Cathy, how are you going with your books? Don't forget you can change them if you want.
I finished
yesterday (4/2/12) and I loved it!!! I don't think I've ever read a book that had me laughing out loud as much. Charly is a STITCH! And when I wasn't laughing, I was caught up in the action and heartaches. Definitely 4 stars.
Yay! I'm looking forward to both #2 & #3 in that series Cathy, just waiting on MMP to come out, glad you enjoyed it ;)

I finished
for the magic shelf on 4/5/12. I'm giving it 3 stars. I liked it but it wasn't as good as the others in the series. I didn't "feel" the attraction between the H/h and I figured out the mystery well before characters. I would have liked to see them be more proactive. I will continue with the series because I have great hope for Corrinne, the heroine of the next one.One more to get caught up....
Yay Cathy! I didn't want to say anything before in case I influenced you, but I hated that book, in fact it was a DNF for me. I've got the next to read & I ordered On the Prowl yesterday, but I was sorely disappointed in Black Magic Woman. So big congrats on finishing it :DDDDD Off to request our Magic stamp ;)

That link connects us to a shelf titled «good» Emily, not to the Goodreads Author shelf.
I'll be reading
for this week's shelf.
Ooh you're right Miss, I didn't check cause I'd already gone from the official announcement.OK. Here is the correct link - Popular Goodreads Author
I finished
today, 4/8/12. I give it 4 stars. The dialogue is very entertaining and I laughed out loud at times. The plot was weak but the fun characters enabled me to enjoy the book anyway.
CONGRATULATIONS, Black Cats! You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'magic'.

Goodreads Author Shelf 4/9/12 ★★★★
Third in the Arcane Society series and this time we find out a lot more of what happens in the Nightshade cabal as well as Arcane.
Raine Tallentyre, hears voices, it runs in the family and whilst she knows of the Arcane Society she has never been a part of it, due to her father's death; & destruction of his scientific work by J&J.
Raine is clearing out her Aunt's home when she discovers a kidnapped girl stashed in the basement and knows that a serial killer is on the loose. She is understandably angry when Zack Jones, from J&J turns up but soon calms down when Zack helps her recover from the psychic trauma.
Enjoyed these two made-for-each-other psychics immensely.
Thanks Steph, yay!What's happening with Diane?
Not sure but she hasn't been on GR for a week. I'll send her a message tomorrow if she doesn't pop in.
Hope everyone is enjoying their books :)No news on Diane yet, she hasn't been on GR since April 2.
I finished
today 4/11/12. I give it 4 stars. I really like the characters of Paige and Lucas and the way they interact. The story kept me in suspense and opened the door for the new characters. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to disappear. I'm halfway through
for Reader's Choice and will pick something for the new shelf when I finish.
Hooray, Diane!!!!!Updating you Cathy :)
I am almost done with
. I should have it done tonight.
Great Emily ;) Hope it's good!
Ok, I finished my Reader's choice book today (4/12) and gave it 3 stars. I'll figure out what I'm reading for GoodReads Author shelf and try and get it done before the next shelf is announced.review:
Charley Davidson is a grim reaper who is bit strange (I mean she named her breasts Danger and Will Robinson).
What I enjoyed:
* Charley. She seems like she'd be fun to hang around with.
* The lawyers. (view spoiler)
* Reyes' secret
* Cookie. She takes all the craziness in stride and gets things done for Charley. I want a Cookie to manage my life.
What could have been better:
* It looks like it is trying to go into love triangle territory and I hate love triangles.
* Reyes is kind of a jerk.
* I never felt very invested in the main police case.
i just finished
4/12. I loved the story line and the way Teresa wrote the story. I will be adding more of her book to my 2 read shelf. 5stars
Yay, both of you!!That's a Reader's Choice stamp for us. Off to put our claim in :)
