Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments I just finished The Iron Witch (The Iron Witch, #1) by Karen Mahoney on 2/7/2012 and I really liked it and I am going to go on with the series. The only thing that I didn't like it took a little bit to get to the plot but other then that I loved it. I gave it five stars .

Well, even though I'm a dragon, I did have an amazing Bingo captain the first time I played. *bows to Judithe* So, I should do an OK job. Just gotta remember not to breathe fire at my computer. :-)

Amanda A | 812 comments Atlantis Unleashed (Warriors of Poseidon, #3) by Alyssa Day
Finished 2/8
4�

I have really enjoyed this series so far and was looking forward to reading Justice's story after the ending in book 2, Atlantis Awakening. In this book, Justice meets Keely, an American arachaeologist and object reader which means she can see the history of an object when she touches it. Years ago, she found a hand carved fish that has revealed visions of a blue-haired warrior to her when she touches it. When she winds up in Atlantis and sees Justice, she realizes he is the man in her visions. Justice decides he has to have her and the evolution of their relationship was fun to watch. I loved learning more about Justice and his background as a half Atlantaen and half Nereid. Throughout much of the book, his two sides are battling each other as he discovers that one of the jewels of Poseidon's Trident could heal him. The Star of Artemis is the sapphire that can heal fractured minds. With the help of Keely, they set off into the Mayan jungle to find the jewel. The adventure is fun and the romance is pretty steamy. Looking forward to reading Alexios' story in Atlantis Unmasked.


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments That looks really good Amanda


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments I'm working on my free space book Eternal Rider and I'm really liking it si far

Kristen  (k10bentley) | 422 comments I finished: Covet (The Fallen Angels, #1) by J.R. Ward

Supernatural Shelf
Date: Feb. 9
Stars: FIVE

Review: I LUUUUUOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEDDDDD this book. OMG...demons, angels, just the cover alone was enough to make it 5 stars. This book is about Jim Heron, who has a secret background in the military??, and is working for Vin DiPietro building his house. The problem starts with Jim is electrocuted and meets some angels who give him a task to help seven people make the right choice. This book is also about Marie-Therese and her struggle to get away from her brutal ex-husband. There's a demon lover involved, and so much more. Ward builds in so many twists and turns, I didn't know if I was always reading the same book.

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments I finsished Camp Hell (PsyCop, #5) by Jordan Castillo Price by Jordan Castillo Price which is #5 in the PsyCop series.

Supernatural Shelf.
Finished: February 8th
5 Stars

PsyCop is one of my absolutely favorite urban fantasy series. And Camp Hell is my favorite thus far in the PsyCop series. Jordan Castillo Price has this amazing way of writing inner monologue that is completely funny, witty -- and insecure. Some authors do not do first person point of view right, but JCP gets it so right and through the main characters eyes readers learn what we need to learn. So Vic continues to see dead people, we are learning more about how strong his ability truly is. There are some really sweet surprises about Jacob. Jacob and Vic as a couple continued to grow closer -- in a very sexy but super sweet way. This book was longer than the previous ones, which was damn rewarding. I am sad I only have one more left in the series, but JCP is working on another PsyCop book so hopefully I will have more to look for. I highly recommend this series to people who enjoy gritty and dark urban fantasy books.

message 74: by Amanda A (new)

Amanda A | 812 comments The Soul Screamers series is really good, Alyssa. I have yet to start the Shifters series even though I already own most of the books.

That's good to hear! I have both in challenges this month so I was glad to see them on the shelf.

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Amanda wrote: "The Soul Screamers series is really good, Alyssa. I have yet to start the Shifters series even though I already own most of the books."

I'm the opposite. I've read the Shifter series. I also own all the Soul Screamers books, except If I Die and any novellas. But, now that I think about it, I have read a short story from the Soul Screamers that's in an anthology. So, I guess if we're being technical, I HAVE read something from the Soul Screamers series. Hehe.


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments I think I'm going to read Deadly Night (Flynn Brothers, #1) by Heather Graham

I probably won't choose until Tuesday as I am finishing up a book. I am equally split on The Restorer, The Renfield Syndrome and Affinity. I should probably read The Restorer or Affinity as Renfield will likely qualify for another shelf in Bingo. But I am not sure. :)


message 79: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments No worries. I probably won't finish my first book till Tuesday. *sighs* Darn homework....


message 80: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Real life messes up my reading schedule all the time. Boo!


message 81: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments So I decided on Affinity Affinity by Sarah Waters for the Ghost shelf. I love the cover.


message 82: by Amanda A (new)

Amanda A | 812 comments I'm going with Fracture by Megan Miranda


message 83: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Are we owed a stamp for our supernatural shelf?


message 84: by Amanda A (new)

Amanda A | 812 comments Not yet. Alyssa said she will finish her book tomorrow in her last post.


message 85: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Oh no rush I thoIght I saw she had done it. :). And I thought she meant picking out next book. :) thanks for clarification!


message 86: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Technically, I finished my book yesterday instead of doing my homework. Whoops. :-/ Had to do the homework, so haven't posted a review yet. Will get it done tomorrow, and then we'll have a nice shiny stamp. :-)


message 87: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Lol! You are bad! I hope you were able to also get your homework done.


message 88: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Hey ladies, I am about 6% in to my read for the Ghost shelf. It is not going to be a quick read, it is really good -- but not quick. One of those every word is important books. ;) I likely won't be done by Sunday - -but I will try to be done by Monday or Tuesday. I know there is no rush, we have to pace ourselves to last! Last round was a long one. ;)

How are your picks going?


message 89: by Kristen (new)

Kristen  (k10bentley) | 422 comments Urgh...I haven't even picked one. I think I'll watch how the shelves play out and read something ghosty if I have to.


message 90: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Good idea. :)


message 91: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Have you picked a Free Space book yet, Kristen? There's soo many to choose from. :-)


message 92: by Kristen (new)

Kristen  (k10bentley) | 422 comments Not yet. I've been writing so much lately that I've really gotten behind in my reading. I won't drop the ball here though - this is too fun!


message 93: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments And we have time ......


message 94: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Oh, no worries. Just making a suggestion, cuz with the free space, you could practically read whatever you want.


message 95: by Alyssa (last edited Feb 14, 2012 07:40PM) (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Alright... Here it is... The review you've been dying to read...

J/k. It's not that great. Hehe.

I finished Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins for the Supernatural shelf on 2/12/12.

Rating: ★★★★

Review: It was good. Didn't completely WOW me like I thought it might. I think I was looking for a little more action or something? I am still interested in the series though, and I will read the next book, Demonglass (Hex Hall, #2) by Rachel Hawkins . Hex Hall left me with a some unanswered questions. I won't be rushing out to get Demonglass right away though. For one, I'm not in a hurry. And two, I've heard that the ending is crazy or something, so I'll probably wait till Spell Bound (Hex Hall, #3) by Rachel Hawkins is out too.


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments I might have to change my ghost book


message 97: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments It's not pulling you in?


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments I haven't been in the mood to read here lately. But I hope that will change soon. I have been buying new books but not reading.


message 99: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments I hate that. When I am in that mood reading a different genre sometimes helps.


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 1193 comments Yeah I'm going to try and try that Regina
