Sandra J Weaver (sandraweaver) | 147 comments Zoe Archer's Series starting with Warrior (The Blades of the Rose, #1) by Zoe Archer has a kind of steampunkish feel even though they're not strictly steampunk (I think). I just finished Noble Blood (The Gray Court, #2) by Dana Marie Bell .

Sandra | 4718 comments I think Zoe meant them to be steampunk but it fell a little short of a true steampunk IMO.

Sandra J Weaver (sandraweaver) | 147 comments I think so, too, but I really enjoyed them.

Alisa I am reading Night Watch (Alexandra Cooper, #14) by Linda Fairstein and Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in Between (Rhiannon's Law, #1) by J.A. Saare Went to a rummage sale at my daughter's preschool yesterday & picked up some murder mysteries & a couple books from the Dresden Files.

Mike | 353 comments Finished The Spirit Thief (The Legend of Eli Monpress, #1) by Rachel Aaron and Heretic (Templar Chronicles, #1) by Joseph Nassise . Started Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1) by Jana Oliver and Nearly Departed in Deadwood (Deadwood Mystery, #1) by Ann Charles .

Alisa I finished Beauty Awakened (Angels of the Dark, #2) by Gena Showalter and I liked it a lot. It was better than the first one in the series, imo. We get to see a lot more of the other angels & there was an appearance from William from LOTU. You get some more info on his history & a glimps of where part of his story is headed. Also a brief reference to Kane's situation. Seems like the two worlds are going to continue to overlap. This book's couple was mostly romance & little sex which combined with the almost YA feel to The Last Kiss Goodnight makes me wonder if she's taming down all her stories? Unual to see autors getting more conservative as their books go on. This book was a long way away from the LOTU books, especially some of the first ones like Reyes story. We shall see where she heads......

Sandra | 4718 comments Alisa, I'd say she's just complying with Harlequin standards. They have strict guidelines for how erotic etc they can get.

Jacy (jazabell) | 214 comments Okay, so I finally finished Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles, #2) by Kami Garcia . I just couldn't get into the first half..it dragged on and on, but once it got going it was good. So my son asked me to read American Gods by Neil Gaiman and I figure I'll read it until I do the buddy read for Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson #7) by Patricia Briggs .

Leigh I loved Dearly Departed. Let me know what you thought. I still need to read the sequel. I bought it when it came out but haven't found time to read it yet. I listened to the audio and like how they alternated between the person reading.

I'm so excited I just won this book from Harlequin. They just started their own blog. It's kind of funny all the publishers started off with a huge website, then came the twitter accounts followed by the Facebook accounts and now they're all creating blogs for their different divisions. I find this to be a very interesting trend.

I loved legend, but I didn't recognize it a first because of the different cover. I like it better than the original.

I read the second Beautiful Creatures and liked it, but it was hard to follow because a year had gone by since I read the first. I never ended up picking up the third.

I love Steampunk and didn't like Boneshaker. Neither did either of the other people who read it with me.

Zoe also has a Steampunk series with her husband Nico Rosso. I believe it's called the Ether Chronicles. Skies of Fire (The Ether Chronicles, #1) by Zoe Archer Skies of Steel (The Ether Chronicles, #3) by Zoe Archer Night of Fire (The Ether Chronicles, #2) by Nico Rosso Nights of Steel (The Ether Chronicles, #4) by Nico Rosso (I don't think that's the correct order however)

That is good to know but I like Cherie Priest so I thought she would appeal to me. I own the The Iron Dukeand The Native Star so I will be sure to check those out.


message 375: by Lisarenee (new)

Lisarenee | 2046 comments I loved the Iron Duke. It's a touch naughty, but I loved it. I need to read the sequel. I'm pretty sure I own it, but haven't seen it lately. May need to search.

Lisarenee, I am liking it so far. I wasn't sure about the whole zombie thing but it is different from other zombie books.


message 378: by Alisa (new)

Alisa I just finished the first story in The Mane Event (Pride, #1) by Shelly Laurenston and apparently I will be the only person around who didn't like it. Hate when that happens. Tossed it back in the tbr pile & will give the second story at try at a later date. Got Riding the Storm (ACRO, #1) by Sydney Croft in the mail today so that will be my next read.


message 379: by Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds (new)

Dawn (dawnv) | 4058 comments Finished The Water Witch (Fairwick Chronicles, #2) by Juliet Dark which I enjoyed a lot more than the first one and Winterblaze (Darkest London, #3) by Kristen Callihan which I just loved. I really like reading about couples with history.

I know. It gets to the heart of it. If a loved one died, but didn't totally how would you feel? They're still them just, well, different and yeah, dead. It gets rather deep. Then what if you met this amazing person but they were a zombie? Sounds totally creepy, but I felt the author amazingly pulls it off.

I think that's the genius of her writing you totally forget what he is and just view him as a person. The emotions shine through and are believable.

Alisa I recently finished Eternal Hunger (Mark of the Vampire, #1) by Laura Wright which I liked. I had read some reviews that said it was a confusing world but I didn't find that at all. It's got a vamp world unique to this series but no more complicated than BDB or Midnight Breed. The characters were likable & there were some lol lines in it. I will definately read the others. I'm also have way through Knight (Unfinished Hero, #1) by Kristen Ashley and it's just ok. The story itself is fine but it's like I'm reading Fifty Shades of Grey again. It's really almost the same story instead of a legit business man he's shady. Other than that same story. I have no one to blame but myself on this. I always fall into the hype about this author's books. I read all these things about how great they are, decide I must be missing something, read one & then don't like it. This is third time. Geez apparently I don't learn quickly. And as the icing on my stupid cake I bought the second book in this series at the same time I bought this one because they were on a great sale. If I bought it I'll make myself read it at some point. In the future if any of you hear me saying I'm thinking of reading something of this author's slap my hands & don't let me do it. I'm gonna need tough love.......lol

Sandra | 4718 comments I've heard lots of happy reviews for her other books, but one of my friends called this one a knockoff of a knockoff of 50 Shades. So you're not alone Alisa.

The knock off comment is funny. Yes she is very popular but she's just not for me. The first one I read was Mystery Man (Dream Man, #1) by Kristen Ashley which people LOVE. In that book the heroine has been having sex for a year w/the hero who's name she doesn't even know. He sneaks in her house at night, they have sex, then he leaves. WTH? I can take out there stuff if it's paranormal but when it's supposed to be an every day love story it creeps me out. Plus in the one I'm reading he makes her call him "Daddy" in the bedroom. That doesn't work for me. Makes me feel dirty......and not in a good way......

Well, on a happier note I've started Dangerous Games (Riley Jenson Guardian, #4) by Keri Arthur , finally reading Riley's series.
