The Darkest Whisper was definately one of the best Lords of The Underworld (not the best - as that's still The Darkest Night - Maddox is awesome, but Sabin's definately growing on me). Gets a 4 out of 5 from me.

9/9

1. Orange: Ravenous by Sharon Ashwood (Quite decent PNR.)
2. Red: Pure Dead Wicked by Debi Gliori (The best word for these is zany.)
3. Brown: Vampires are Forever by Lynsay Sands (Least favorite of the series so far. Disliked the heroine immensely.)
4. Green: Down the Garden Path by Dorothy Cannell (Decent cozy mystery.)
5. Black: Witch Way to Murder by Shirley Damsgaard (Slow start, but picked up halfway through. Worth trying the next one.)
6. Yellow: The Trouble with Magic by Madelyn Alt. (Constant references to how she's supposed to be a good Catholic irked me. No mas of the Bewitching Mysteries.)
7. Purple: Pure Dead Magic by Debi Gliori (Cute and inventive.)
8. Pink: Soulless by Gail Carriger (Highly recommended!!)
9. Blue: The Accidental Vampire by Lynsay Sands (Funny.)

With only 43 minutes to go till midnight (Central European Time) I can safely say I won't be finishing the challenge, snif snif. I'm halfway through both Blood Bound and Dead After Dark, but since that doesn't count:

7/9 done

Thanks, BJ Rose. There was some some switching and replacing, I ain't gonna lie! But hey, 9 is 9, right?

:)

7 is perfectly respectable, Mel. I commend thine efforts.

Thine? I told you to stay away from that Shakespeare stuff, it's dangerous. LOL.

Thanks, BJ! You should have seen me trying to finish them though i thought it wasn't going to happen there for a minute. In the end i had to pull an all-nighter, but am happy i was able to finish.

Congratulations on your finish too, i can't believe how many other books you read on the side too.LOL

Well, there's still a little over 4 hours left for the day but I don't feel like rushing myself. Plus I think I'm going to go play video games anyway ... so here's my total for the month. I would have gotten closer if I'd read the challenge books instead of other ones.

New_user, you've caught me out. Why, I just finished intoning a murmured soliloquy on how the stormy weather reflects my once turbulent love life. Shakespeare, that scoundrel. He leaks into everything.
