Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Valerie how was Feast of Crows compared with #3 -- I loved #3 so much.

Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments It's very hard to top #3. Feast for Crows feels a bit like an in-between book to be reinforced by the fact that you only follow half of the characters this time around. The idea was that the book was too massive and was split into two books but instead of cutting it in the middle, the story is split lengthwise.

I'm not saying it's not a good book but there is something missing (no Bran, no Tyrion or Daenerys). You have to grab A dance with Dragons just after. A Dance With Dragons is like 50 hours audio so it will be months before I finish it. Finding time to listen to it with hubby is a challenge.

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Understood - you have said what others have too. 50 hours audio! OMG.


Ninab (Honesty is the Best Policy)  | 149 comments Finished Hidden Crimes (Hidden Series, #3) by Emma Holly - 5 stars! I was so surprised at this book. The blurb made it seemed like the romance is front and center, but the relationship blended with the overall story and didn't overpower it. Both protagonists had their acts together which is a nice change, and the sex - all I have to say is that she's an alpha and he's man enough to let her play in one scene, which is also nice to see (not to mention hot!). I haven't read any of the previous books and wasn't lost at all. Highly recommend it.

Josie | 1967 comments I've just finished No Turning Back (Kathleen Turner, #1) by Tiffany A. Snow and for some reason, probably due to my mood, I loved it. I've now gone and bought both #2 and #3 and started the next one Turn to Me (Kathleen Turner, #2) by Tiffany A. Snow :)

Sandra | 25908 comments I've started Dangerous Games (Riley Jenson Guardian, #4) by Keri Arthur


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments A Love Untamed (Feral Warriors, #7) by Pamela Palmer was ok, The Werewolf Prince and I (The Moretti Werewolf, #1) by Marian Tee a total waste of time and Hard Mated (Shifters Unbound, #3.5) by Jennifer Ashley worth every penny.

Angie (pinkindle) I'm about 2/3 into At Grave's End (Night Huntress, #3) by Jeaniene Frost .


Ninab (Honesty is the Best Policy)  | 149 comments Finished Touched by A.J. Aalto - 3.5/4 stars. I seem to have problems with vampire books, but low and behold I enjoyed this one. The heroine is good at funny snark, and I liked the darker aspects of the book. I did feel lost at times both as to dialog and plot but found that if I kept going my confusion resolved itself. The book is free through the Kindle Lending Library, and is a lot of book at 400+ pages (and might have benefited from wrapping up sooner). I'll be looking forward to the next installment of the series.

Sandra | 25908 comments Just finished Wild Invitation (Psy-Changeling 0.5, 3.5, 9.5, 10.5) by Nalini Singh and I loved it!!!!!!!


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments Done with Darkness Calls (Hunter Kiss, #2) by Marjorie M. Liu ...maybe a bit more organization with the info dump would not have gone amiss but still a good read.

Loved it too Sandra! Especially the DarkRiver stories, though I thought Cooper was yummy and liked learning about the role of submissive Changelings from Grace, and the glimpses of Tai and Rordian we get in Lara's story - well I guess I liked them all :)


Ninab (Honesty is the Best Policy)  | 149 comments Finished Immune: A Sexy Urban Fantasy Mystery - 4.5 stars. Liked this one probably even a little more than the first book, Priceless (A Sexy Urban Fantasy Mystery #1) by Shannon Mayer , which I liked a lot. The Kate Daniels feel continues but still feels original (and a lot easier on the pocketbook as well). Nice way to fill the time until the next installment of Kate and Curran comes out.


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments Reading Skin Game (Skin, #1) by Ava Gray and really like the paranormal ability of the heroine.


message 427: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Reading Copper Beach for FL and re-reading Blade's Edge for fun. Sorry bookcovers not working at the moment.

I just finished Driving Mr. Dead (Half Moon Hollow, #1) by Molly Harper The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires (Half Moon Hollow, #2) by Molly Harper Eddie's Prize (After the Crash #4) by Maddy Barone


message 430: by Karin Elisabeth (new)

Karin Elisabeth (goodreadscomkarinelisabeth) | 151 comments I finished and reread Written in Red (The Others #1) by Anne Bishop
It's apparently the first one in a series and the next book is a year away :(
It's not so much about romance, although there are hints about things to come, but the world building is simply awesome.


Ninab (Honesty is the Best Policy)  | 149 comments Finished Move Me by Emma Holly - 3 stars. The romance was front and center in this one, which perhaps I wasn't in such a mood for having recently finished and been blown away by Hidden Crimes (Hidden Series, #3) by Emma Holly where the romance (which was stellar) was so effortessly woven into a larger story. Still, the author's strong voice was present, and the story had line that struck me as really sweet:

You are the shining star that reigns over my yearning heart.

I've picked up the other books in this series that deal with the police force as in Hidden Crimes, so we will see if I am equally blown away by those.

Angie (pinkindle) I'm about 1/3 into Soul Thief (The Demon Trappers #2) by Jana Oliver It's a little slow so far, but not bad.


Ninab (Honesty is the Best Policy)  | 149 comments Finished Hidden Talents (Hidden, #1) by Emma Holly - 3.5 stars. Not as good as Hidden Crimes (I think the author really hit on something special there), but an enjoyable read.

Murphy Stealing Shadows (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit, #1) by Kay Hooper and one ARC YA novel called Wish since February.

CyberAlmu | 302 comments Tonight I'm starting Lover Reborn (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #10) by J.R. Ward . I stil didn't get my Lover at Last copy by mail... I hope it doesn't take much longer!

I'm also starting this series Fantasy Lover (Dark-Hunter, #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon . I'm half way through listening to the first book, and liking it just fine.

I've also been reading the Morganivill Vampires books.

Ellese (faithfulumbrella) | 60 comments Just finished Blood Trade (Jane Yellowrock, #6) by Faith Hunter and FINALLY!! finished Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires, #1) by Chloe Neill ...

Got a few to start, Kitty Rocks the House (Kitty Norville, #11) by Carrie Vaughn , Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, #2) by Chloe Neill , and Deadly Sting (Elemental Assassin, #8) by Jennifer Estep --> when it finally comes into stock, because for some stupid reason, I didn't not get it on release day and have waited while its been on backorder *pissed*

And I am reading a few off topic reads that I probably wont finish but they seem fun in the meantime :D

Lis | 4037 comments Finished Of Shadow Born (Shadow World, #4) by Dianne Sylvan and Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout currently reading Onyx (Lux, #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

In audio finished Lover At Last (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #11) by J.R. Ward which was awesome! Currently listening to Blood Trade (Jane Yellowrock, #6) by Faith Hunter and started Deadly Sting (Elemental Assassin, #8) by Jennifer Estep but put on hold, I think I need to be in the right mood for it. Too many new releases to enjoy right now.

Loved Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires, #1) by Chloe Neill and Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, #2) by Chloe Neill but the next two lack the luster. Good news is Drink Deep (Chicagoland Vampires, #5) by Chloe Neill brings back the sparkle.
