A reread of the Summoning by Kelley Armstrong

Finished reading Jennifer RardinBite Marks it was good had some funny scenes.Now reading Rachel Vincent My Soul to Save

I finished Every Which Way But Dead and A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison. I don't have the next book in the series yet, so I'm holding off on her right now. Such good books. Now I'm trying to finish a challenge and started Full Moon Rising. I realized I've read it before. It's really good.

I am reading A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K Hamilton. Weird so far because I am used to reading about Anita Blake and Jean-Claude and Richard and all them.

I really liked the Merry books - but I think I'm in the minority.

I am just starting A Perfect Darkness.

This morning I started Divine Misdemeanors and liking it so far. I love Merry and her many men.

I finally finished & , really liked them both! Was glad to see that The Becoming didn't suffer firstbookitis!! Am now reading and will be starting tonight.

Just have to say that I am a huge Merry AND Anita fan but I have to say of the two my fav is Merry!:)

I finished Fallen and I'm not going to say much, but I wasn't that impressed. I'm going to save my opinion until I read the next book. Could be that first book thing that many suffer from...

Now reading [image error] and [image error]

Finished reading My Soul to Saveit was ok.Now reading Sucker for Lovebk 5 in the series.

Reading Tall, Dark & Dead (Garnet Lacey, Book 1)

Reading , liking it so far.

Interested to see if you like SHADOWLAND. It's put me off that series for good. I hate series books that do nothing but tread water and don't move the story or characters along.

it has taken me a while to read, honestly, I hope the story gets better but Evermore was the best and Blue Moon was a good follow up, I believe there is a 4th book coming out sometime this year. Ever is a little to self-indulgent for me :-)

Hush, Hush (fallen angels)
The Historian (Still reading - vampires)
Soulless (vampires, werewolves, etc)
Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side(vampires)

None of the above has disappointed.

KETA

Now you're going to wonder how an author can have so much time to read. I don't, and that's why I have about four books going at once. I make myself read two chapters from every book each night or I'd never get through them. Here's what I just finished reading and what I'm reading in February:

Finished: An Indecent Proposition by Emma Wildes. This was a good erotic romance. I hope to write up a review for it soon here on Shelfari. Wildes is a great writer, and this is a historical -- about a woman who has a tortured past (husband was cruel and he died) and now she's decided to get back into the swing of social life. Two very decadent men have made a public bet that each is a better love than the other. When the widow finds out about the bet, she contacts them and offers to be the judge. Here's where it gets interesting, because we're supposed to have a Happily-ever-after, right? Well, you'll just have to read the book to find out how Ms. Wildes accomplished the HEA.

Finished: Drawn Into Darkness: Annette McCleave, This was good. It rate it about a four. An angel/demon theme with lots of scripture quotes. It's also a romantic/paranormal. I believe this is a debut book. I recommend reading if you like this genre.

Reading:

The Bronze Horseman, Pauline Simons. In fact, I just joined a group on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ dedicated solely to this book. It's set in Russia during one of the big wars and features a lot of starvation, war, deplorable state of living and all that angst. It's very good and quite lengthy coming in at over 600 pages. Go to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ if you've read this book or are interested in discussing it.

The Field Guide to Angels and Demons. Don't ask! This is exactly what it says, a guide about all the different demons that exist in society from countries around the world. Legend and lore type thing and how to get rid of a certain demon if you're having trouble with one. I bought this for research purposes, but it's enjoyable.

Enchanted, Elizabeth Lowell, blurb: A medieval age of passion and conquest in a tumultuous era of warriors and ladies. Simon the Loyal has agreed to marry Arianne, an unwilling Norman heiress in order to bring peace to the troubled lands. So far, so good, Lowell is also a good writer, and this is a typical medieval novel.

Belladonna, Anne Bishop. This is the second book in her series. I think the first one was titled Sebastian. And I bought them out of order. Now, I must go back and read the first. The writing is deep and the plot complicated, but if you concentrate and stick with it, quite enjoyable. Blurb: The Eater of the World is casting its shadow over the landscape of Ephemera, tainting people's souls with doubts and fears. Glorianna Belladonna possesses the ability to thwart the Eater, but she's not along. Michael, a man with mysterious power of his own will help.

Warlord, Elizabeth Elliott, an older medieval historical about an arranged marriage. So far so good, although I am not spellbound. This book came highly recommended by readers who love medieval romance.

More later and Happy Reading!

I loved this series. I was surprised by how good it was with the cartoon covers. I find I actually like this one better than the one she started with Blue Diablo.

I just finished by Gena Showalter, and am going to start by Lyn Benedict

Demonica #4...Ecstacy Unveiled...which just came out a few days ago.

Jess,
Was Enslave Me Sweetly good ?

Gosh, I heard so many mixed reviews for Fallen--dont let my opinion cloud your perspective...I'm gonna give book2 a shot b4 I form a real opinion.

Darcy, I haven't read Blue Diablo yet! I was going to buy it yesterday, but the story didn't peak my interest as much. Not at the moment, at least.

Michelle in my opinion it isn't worth the money, if you want to read it get it from the library.

I have started , which is the second in this series. I really loved the first one ( Phenomenal Girl 5), and can't believe I missed when this one came out.

Kathy Anne wrote: "Jess,

I liked it.. I can't really remember the first book as much, but this one involved an alien mercenary group that had a sex slave ring going on. I think that these books are a little darker than some of Showalter's other series. But if you liked the first in the series, you'll enjoy this one as well.

Michelle - I just marked Grimspace to read, I have Blue Diablo here, I just got it from the library. Whoo hoo excited!

Jess, those library patrons are finally behaving, hmn? Grimspace was definitely worth it! Hope Blue Diablo goes better for you than it did for Darcy. I'll look for your review since I haven't gotten the book yet!

Reading Vampire Academy

I'm liking it, but some parts were a little slow and some parts are deja vu'.

Actually no, I'm still waiting for the new books I want to read. Like streetgame, the new kitty, and a few others. I went to another library that tends to get more sci/fi and fantasy books and walked out with a bunch. :)

Yeah, I'll let you know how Blue Diablo is.

I just finished and OMG was it a good book. It isn't paranormal, just a lovely YA book--I so highly recommend it, read it now. :)

My Review

Finished Kissing Sin, moved on to Tempting Evil. Good series.

In answer to the spoiler, yes, he did mention it.

Finished [image error] , which I really liked and am now reading .

Melodie, I've got to read Beatifl Creatures in March. Did you do a review? I don't mind spoilers.

Darcy, I've never heard of that one. It looks really interesting, but why is it called Phenomenal Girl 5??? LOL.

You should check out the books. They are fun, about what happens when people get super powers and become super heroes. The first book Phenomenal Girl 5, is named after the main heroine and that is her super hero name. She started out in a group of 5 girls that were phenomenal, so not real original with the name. For me I like them because they are different from what is out there and after so many vamps, were whatevers, witches, etc it is nice to read.

The author got her start in the writers group that is on the Kelley Armstrong boards. That is how I found out about the book, it was the monthly book read.
