Btw whats a group sherpa Jess? It says it next to your name when you post lol

It's a charming and unique title!
I prefer to choose books by quality of author. For an excellent author, I'll pay to read their grocery list.
There are elements I avoid tho, alot of the humor stuff isn't funny to me *I'm defective* klutzy heroines, sophomoric dialogue, stuff like that.

***Thinking while I am typing here so forgive me***Yet I do not like it when authors try and work through a characters issue for example I am not a fan of when the love one dies and then they come back as a ghost that can sometimes be corporal but then they can also be well a ghost ... I feel like either make a miracle and bring them back or let them die.
In a series though I need to see the main character grow and for them to stay consistent with the elements of the story

So Dawn, have you read Kresley Cole's take on the ghost mate? Much better IMO.


Jess...KC books three and four for me really blew. I could not finish Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night I was just to indifferent with the couple, plus the witch annoyed me. The fourth book the one with the ghost Dark Needs at Night's Edge was better for me since I actually finished it but I think I am just not a fan of the ghost person (being) relationship, I would have preferred Conrad to turn Naomi into a vamp then make her a ghost with corporal skills
For me the JRW just felt slapped on the very end of the book, so it just felt like an odd ending rather than a real plot element.

I was a V fan so I thought he deserved someone living (hahaha cracking myself up here) no seriously though I agree that there was a lack of plot development and personally I don't think she had the guts to just let her be dead.

It was kind of a cheap device that was like, "hey, wait a second!" But at the same time, I thought the interchange between V and the SV was really sweet. She had to make a great sacrifice for him, and then when he started bringing her birds... that was so cute.
Dawn, I have these mental "tags" for authors, and much as I enjoy her writing style and looking forward to seeing the boys grow up, JRW is flirting with "probation". Still don't understand all that m/m sexual tension that went nowhere, why bother then chicken out?
Nichole, To each their own (and all that) but SV gets on my last nerve. But yeah, the birds were a cute touch.

Denni I am so with you on the 'floating on probation' I am really interested in how she is going to deal with this next book. I do wonder if she is going to end this series soon especially since the rumor is she has a new series starting.
I am like take a chance put some gay dudes in the story that would be refreshing and kill off Jane while you are at it LOL.

And I know I wasn't the only one who felt that way, there were tons of online discussions where people were PISSED about it...
And then she did it AGAIN in Lover Enshrined, with Qhuinn and Blay. WTF?
If she kills off Jane, she should kill of Marissa while she's at it and give us all what we were hoping for!


"Why go there in the first place if you can't take it all the way?" my thoughts exactly Nichole!

I guess each type of books has it's own merits.. but I think I might enjoy the lighter books a little more. Ex) I love Lynsay Sands books, where no matter how much crap the characters go through they all end up happy.
I'm trying to think of an example author for the darker books and I think JR Ward would apply here. The characters are pretty messed up and not always happy
