I totally agree! I personally could read them over and over again!

I just finished Soulless - loved it. I'm reading Laurell Hamilton's The Killing Dance right now.

[Susan (Suz)]

I finished , Great book! I am currently reading AND , but Lover Avenged definitely getting most of my attention :)

[LooLoo]

Just finished . Can't say it's at the top of my list for Anita books. I liked the last 110 pages but the first 375 were too long and drawn out. Now I'm going to read the next Highlander book .

[Jess]

I'm between a couple right now, I'm feeling a little flighty lol.

I just finished Blood Promise and what a disappointment that was!

I'm also reading A Perfect Darkness [image error] , it's good, but lately I haven't been in the mood for the PNR books. But I'll get back to it.

Now I'm reading my contemporary romances in search of a HEA :)

Jess I agree about Blood Promise. It could have/should have been so much better.

Finished Soulless and loved it. Adorable, amusing, Austen-like. Superior, supernatural, steampunk. Delicious, daring, and delightful!

I loved Soulless too. Very clever and even her biography at the back of the book is funny.

Right now I'm reading Burnt Offerings - trying to get through all the Anita Blake/Laurell Hamilton books.

Is that a book, or do you have an "in" with the supernatural set? If so, introduce us!

Alright Sue, have you finished
I am interested to hear what you thought. I'm done..thank goodness.
I thought it was pretty painful. :-(

[The Flooze]

Cherra, great minds think alike! ;)

Symmetry was painful, huh? Any particular reason, ie slow plot, weak characterization? I haven't read Time Traveler's Wife, have you?

Michelle M.--I read The Time Traveler's Wife and I liked it. I took me a bit to get into it, but once I did, I enjoyed it.

Her Fearful Symmetry, on the other hand, started out bad and ended bad. I really HATE to not finish a book, but I seriously considered NOT finishing it. I just had no motivation--other than the hopes that Niffenegger would redeem herself and crank out some stellar ending...hardly.

First, I wasn't even interested in what I was reading the entire first 1/2 of the book. Basically, the story is about 2 sets of twins--one older and one younger. One of the older twins dies and leaves everything to her twin nieces. Okay--THAT is the first 1/2 of the 400 page book--seriously. It starts to get a little more interesting when the younger twins move to London (from the US) to the home they have inherited, where they are haunted by their aunt's ghost. Family secrets unfold and some very strange--not in a good way--intimate scenes play out between the twins and some of the odd male neighbors. Then, let's not forget the ghost's view of her grieving "lover" lying her bed-looking a photos crying and "wanking off". The scenes actually made me cringe.

The characters were flat, in fact, out of the 15 or so characters in the book, the only one I really liked was the eff'd up neighbor with OCD.

I felt that the story started out on a slow, but somewhat believable note, I was willing to give it a shot and see it through to the end. Then the story totally unraveled...we are talking went to hell in a hand basket! The ending was so absurd and totally unbelievable--I was irritated that I finished the book! I read a ton of fantasy with weres-vamps-shifters, you know the characters...so I can do make-believe. The problem with this book IMHO is it started out as possibly a "real" scenario and ended very far from real. (If you are not ever planning to read it, I would be happy to divulge the ending to you...)

When I first finished the book I was trying to decide b/t 2 or 3 stars and I decided to go with 2. Now that I have had a few days to think about it, I think I was being generous with 2 stars and I am wondering how I ever thought it possibly deserved 3 stars.

[The Flooze]

Wow. Sounds like a train wreck, without any of the fascinating gore. Oye. I was only half interested to begin with. Now, no way!

[Samantha]

I am reading Vampireville started it today during my 1 hour 45 minute break in between classes, AND I have 126 pages left to read

Ooh tell me about the ending too--I've heard way too many bad reviews about it to read it, but you're not the only one to comment on the ending--now I'm curious! :)

[The Flooze]

How far into it are you? I found it really hard to get through until about halfway. By the end of the book, I was really loving it. It is such an interesting storyline. I thought it was crazy how it could be similar to the Twilight books in so many ways, yet completley different.

[Heather]

I am reading Blue Diablo. It's a little slow going.

Im reading the paper back one that's about 1152 pages im at page 196. It's ok so far, interesting story line!

[Starzee]

hey, currently reading Lover Eternal of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. LOVE IT!!!

[I ♥ Bookie Nookie (bookienookiereviews.blogspot.com)]

Just started . It starts out with a haunted shoe??? Umm...interesting. I am hoping this book doesn't have "first book blues".

I tried to read and I had to put it down--I just could not get into it. So many of my GRF have read and loved the series--maybe I just wasn't in to mood to read it at the time.

[new_user]

Eh, the first book of DS is not all that great, unfortunately. ^^' The second is. :D

I read by Midnight's Daughter by Karen Chance and had a really hard time reading it. I also have Touch the Dark and I will read it but I am assuming it will be as confusing as Midnight's Daughter. I don't mind fast paced but her books are pretty confusing as it doesn't seem like she explains certain things whether it's a creature or place. I will read Touch the Dark when I run out of other things to read.

I agree! I just finished it and the middle to the end is amazing. At first I wasn't to sure if I was going to enjoy it.

[Carolyn F.]

I had the same problem Cherra! I stuck with it and have to say the first book has the typical first book syndrome, the books get a little better but I have to say it is not one of my favorites, altho I'm invested enough that I will keep going at least to the 4th book that I already have and then will decide from there if I want to keep going. I did hear that Midnight's Daughter is better so have that to try as well....

[Susan (Suz)]

I finally finished , SO GOOD! The wait for the next book is going to KILL me! Am almost done with as well! Really good series so far, have really enjoyed the first book alot!

see, that is my problem too. I just don't want it to be another "Merry Gentry series" for me. You know you just keep reading b/c you are hoping for something better--that is why I don't have any plans in the near future to read the anita blake series. I heard so many great things about the Merry Gentry seriesthen I read it...didn't really care much for the first book and read the 2nd then the 3rd hoping it was going to click for me. It never really did, but I finished the series anyway b/c I wanted to see what happened and I will of course read the one coming out in december Divine Misdemeanors

really liked Storm Born--now I am reading
