Martha Wells is an awesome writer and I loved the characters and the world she created.

Is she the one who wrote the southern witch series?


message 71: by Darcy (new)

I love the cat, too! Sometimes it is nice to read a book that is on the lighter side.

I know what you mean, I like to mix it up and depending on my mood the lighter ones work better.

message 86: by Jessi (new)

Jessi Overton (pixibella) | 91 comments Yeah I read to many but I just loved those books and I somehow made myself not add more... And I just thought of one for the #7...Allyson James' Stormwalker books


message 87: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 823 comments I can't believe I haven't read a green cover yet, LOL!


message 88: by Jessi (new)

Jessi Overton (pixibella) | 91 comments If you haven't read Drink of Me yet it was pretty good. my only problem with it is that it's a stand alone book but she could very easily turn it into a full series because there are threads there for future books...Basically by the time you finish the book it will leave you wanting more ,more, more


message 89: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 823 comments That one looks pretty good, Jessi. I added it.
Drink of Me by Jacquelyn Frank


message 90: by Jessi (new)

Jessi Overton (pixibella) | 91 comments After you read it let me know what you think...Because it def left me wanting to know more


message 91: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4721 comments Hooray, Jessi!

Glad you liked Drink of Me, I bought it a couple of months ago but haven't gotten to it yet.

Jacquelyn Frank writes some pretty hot sex scenes, doesn't she? I read Hunting Julian by Jacquelyn Frank a while back. While I was frustrated with the heroine, it was certainly a hot story. Then I read her short story in Supernatural (Lords of Deliverance, #1.5; Demonica, #5.5; Guardians of Eternity, #7.5; Nightwalkers, #1.5; Dragon Kin, #4.5) by Larissa Ione , and liked it so much I went out and bought Jacob (Nightwalkers, #1) by Jacquelyn Frank .


message 93: by Lara (new)

Lara | 742 comments Sandra, I can't wait to read Angels' Flight (Angels' Pawn #0.5, Angels' Judgment #1.5, Angel's Wolf #4.5, Angels' Dance #4.75) by Nalini Singh . And how did you like Bayou Moon (The Edge, #2) by Ilona Andrews ? I love all of Ilona Andrews' books--both series and the short stories too.

Oh it's so worth it and I absolutely loved the heroine and the hero will have you wanting to say pick me, pick me especially closer to the end

Whilst Kate is one of my all-time favs I'm not feeling the love with Bayou Moon. I'm about half way done and I'll slog through, but it'll be a long time before I open Fate's Edge.

I actually stumbled on to her by accident when I bought Ecstasy. I haven't read her Nightwalker books yet but I have them on a list of series to start. Have you read her Three Worlds books yet (she has 2 out w/ another on the way)?

The Edge was the book to introduce us to the world & William. Bayou Moon is pretty much the book that's setting up for the rest in the series. Fate's Edge was good especially if you like Kaldar after reading Bayou Moon.


message 99: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4721 comments I quite enjoyed The Edge, and Kaldar hasn't been in Bayou Moon much yet, so at least hopefully I have something to look forward to :)


message 100: by Jessi (new)

Jessi Overton (pixibella) | 91 comments I loved William but Cerise was a bit much to swallow for me at first. But in the end I think you'll be glad you stuck with it.
