I finished On the Edge tonight and then read the excerpt from Magic Bleeds at the end of the book. Man, May 2010 can't come soon enough.

Oh, don't remind me! *squirms* I've been avoiding reading On the Edge because I don't want to be waiting for that too! LOL. At least the next Magic book won't end on such a dangling carrot, LOL. I think... I'm sure they will surprise me. xD

I can't wait. They seem to have stopped giving out Kate 4 snippets and are sticking with Edge 2 snippets, which while enjoyable, just aren't what I'm waiting for. But they do love to tease us along =)
Oh yes, lots of drama! I'm so glad the next book is all about them! :D Finally! I'm rewarded for my patience, LOL.
I liked On the Edge, but honestly, after reading the snippet from the Magic series at the end, it completely overshadowed On the Edge for me.It was good, but it was no Kate & Curran. :)
And last night I read their short story in Must Love Hellhounds with Andrea & Raphael. It was really good and it ended with Kate talking about her dinner with Curran the following week and it gave a couple juicy little teasers about other things to come also.
Oh yes, I have to read that short story! :D
starting
I have that one on my TBR. Hope you have good news for me, Cherra. :)

Oh, not as bad as most first books, that's great already, LOL. Keep me posted. ;)
I just finished
I enjoyed it. It took me a few chapters to get past Morgan's negativity towards demons but still a good read once you get into it. It does have some S&M and M/M scenes, so if that is not your cup of tea you might not enjoy it. The scenes are nothing too extravagant and few and far between. I still enjoyed the plot and the smart writing. I am definitely adding the next book to my TBR pile! I'm now starting on
I just started Glass Houses by Rachel Caine, and I really like it.

Definitely--it's my fave. But I don't think it was my true fave until I went back and read it after I had read all the others. :)

I think you are going to be pleasently surprised Cherra!
I'm reading and loving Julie Garwood's books, especially the medieval Highlander books.Can anyone recommend similar authors? Stand alone or series are fine with me.
Thanks!
I am reading
, this is a great series.

Have you read Janet Chapman or Veronica Wolff? You might enjoy either of them. I haven't read Julie Garwood but both Janet's and Veronica's books have highlanders in them.

I'm trying to stay away from PNR (*gasp* , I know) because I tend to get pulled into other directions and I really need to be in the medieval non PNR mind-set right now.

I usually have low expectations of first books in a series, but this one has a good mix of romance, action, mystery and intrigue--it caught my attention pretty much from the start. It also had a twist that I was not at all expecting. There was also a cliff hanger that reminded me of Moning's Fever series endings--though not as bad... I am looking forward to reading the next one.

you were right, I was pleasantly surprised.
Cliffhanger! Well, I guess it's not so bad since eight books are out, LOL.

Yes I think both authors have time travel in them - Sorry.
Thank you for the info! I am trying to stay focused on one era right now. When my own writing project is over, then I will look into Chapman and Veronica.
Stinkerbell (AKA UniquelyMoi) wrote: "Thank you for the info! I am trying to stay focused on one era right now.

I don't think they have any PNR or time travel in their books.
Great, thank you for the names. I will check into them all.
I just finished Dayhunter by Jocelyn Drake. It was the second in the series. I like the action but am starting to get frustrated that there is not any kind of resolution, not even partially at the end of each book. I still feel like I just started the story. Anyone else read the rest of this series?
Just finished Ill Wind by Rachel Caine (Weather Warden #1). I finished it in a couple of hours. Ready for the 2nd one but my library doesn't have it, so it might take a while to get (what with Christmas right around the corner and I can't seem to stop buying presents for my 2-year-old).Anyways, reading now - Fragment by Warren Fahy, Dexter by Design by Jeff Lindsay, and Dhampir by Barb Hendee.
By the way, new_user, if you happen to read this, Foxmask was awesome!!!
Yay! Oh, I just love that book! The hero is so great. So is the heroine, for that matter. She's one of the few heroines I can actually admire and say, "I wanna be like her when I grow up," LOL. Glad you liked it, Jennifer. :)
I just finished
by S.J. Day and loved it!! Her take on the Cain & Abel story was fantastic!! Great plot and spectacular writing! Two hot brothers fighting over one woman, can't beat it! I can't wait to jump into the next book in the series (I have to wait until next month, it's in one of my challenges). I'm starting on

I had computer meltdown and exams for a month and haven`t had much time to read but I keep picking up Covet and putting it back.For some weird reason I just can`t get into this book-does it get any easier later on?

Oh YAY i'm so glad Cherra! I have to say this is one of my all time fav series!!!!!
Kathy Anne wrote: "I had computer meltdown and exams for a month and haven`t had much time to read but I keep picking up Covet and putting it back.For some weird reason I just can`t get into this book-does it get any..."I couldn't either - I got about 100 pages in and I just couldn't read anymore. I was forcing myself to pay attention. I'll come back later. The story started out strange and it never got better, at least in my opinion.

yes, i am really liking the series...and all her men-whew! I am starting
, but with the holiday, I may not get much time to read :-(
Just started Midnight's Daughter...
I'm glad you're enjoying the books Cherra
I brought the Hunger Games todays and Evermore.Currently half way through Evermore, and lovin' it!
I am more than halfway through Curse the Dawn by Karen Chance. I have loved this Cassie Palmer series. I will be diving into Midnight's Daughter after that. Karen Chance does a nice job of tying the two series together. How are you liking Midnight's Daughter so far, Jinnifer?

Loved EVERMORE! BLUE MOON, the 2nd one, not so much! SHADOWLAND, the 3rd one, so far is better.

I have almost finished Evermore, and I had no idea that the third one came out just the other day. I was like "Ah! I still have to get the second one! But I want the thrid one NOW!" Lol.
Covet by jr wardI love her writing, Rehvenges story was fabulous, but I'm having trouble getting into this. Maybe because I'm listening to "Cerulean Sins", by LKH right now, and my mind is obsessing on Asher and Micah. which is fine, as long as I can remember my husbands name! :)
Aren't you excited for the next one now, Suz? ;)
I just finished Redemption Alley and Hotter After Midnight.I think I'm going to start On the Edge. Unless I succumb to my bad girl gene and buy the next Midnight book.. but I'm trying hard not to!
