Steven Allen is 45% done with The Hunger of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Saga, #2)
This book is much better than the first book in this series. About 75% of the first book is world-building. The second book is (so far) nothing but combat.

Steven Allen is 85% done with Smolder (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #29)
One of the reasons I lost interest in these Anita books was that previous books seemed to focus more on vampire (and other critter's politics), and the merry-go-round that is Anita's bed. I liked the earlier books best with Anita being a bad ass, and do not care so much who is leaping into (or out of) her bed.

I enjoyed the earlier books in this long-running series. The more recent books I find meh, but worth a quick read. I do like that several of the most recent books Anita is returning to her Marshal duties, and not just some reverse harem ring leader.

Well written with a vibrant world and characters described with enough skill to make them interesting. Just not interesting enough for me to get the next book in this series.

This is a well-written book, but just not to my tastes. It's not Game of Thrones, so if you are looking for graphic sex you need to look elsewhere. And it is not Lord of the Rings either, as so far magic has been pretty low, without any grand wizard tossing fireballs about. I probably will not read more of this series as there are other authors I enjoy more than this one.

This series was recommended to me by someone who has never steered me wrong. So far so good.

Steven Allen is 55% done with Robert B. Parker's Damned If You Do (Jesse Stone #12)
I really enjoy these Jesse Stone books. I was concerned when the original author died that this series would become unreadable.

I wonder if there is going to be a 3rd book in this series?

I really enjoy these Jesse Stone books and was glad to see the series continued after the original author's death.

Steven Allen is 35% done with Robert B. Parker's Killing The Blues (Jesse Stone, #10)
I have always been hoping that Sunny and Jesse will settle down together. I still like a HEA ending, but I doubt that is part of the story. I never liked the ex-wife, so I am glad that she is finally out of the picture for good (I hope).

Steven Allen is 95% done with Eddie Topper At The Well of Souls: Eddie Topper's Haunted Life: Book 2
So far fairly good. I have for the most part liked this author's MCs, and this one is pretty likeable. Nice plot twist at the end of this book.

Steven Allen is 50% done with The Black Gryphon (Valdemar: Mage Wars, #1)
Somewhere I have this book in paperback that I bought at Walden's Books in the mall right before I deployed for Operation Vigilant Warrior. I took this book on deployment with me and read it several times ensuring that my copy is rather beat up and might need replacing if I can find it. I had forgotten how much I liked the author's gryphons.

Steven Allen is 15% done with Longarm and the Red-Light Ladies (Longarm, #242)
My paternal grandmother introduced me to this series. My maternal great-grandmother introduced me to other Western series, as well as spaghetti Westerns. My great-grandmother was a young girl at the end of the Wild West and talked about the dust, mud and bugs as my family came across the US in a covered wagon.
