Starting

I will start tomorrow:)

Starting soonish

Started. First chapter done.

I have the old series reading problem. I don't really remember the first book.

First book == amnesia in this series... not much more needs to be known, at this point... this is the book that really starts building/expanding the mythology...

Oh cool that simplifies things a lot.

I have read a bit further, still no definite thoughts as yet.

30 chapters done

(view spoiler)[ Did anyone feel that the werewolf sequence was a bit problematic? Like why would an Alpha even tolerate an Elijah in the first place? (hide spoiler)]

I had so many BR's going that needed to get completed that I lacked a little traction to start this one. I'm about 25% done and I like this more than book 1 so far.

Totally.

Just started this one and I really like this world!

Guess I never wrote my closing post to this.

While the book is entertaining due to all the action, I continuously felt that it could have been better written. The scene changes and transitions often felt rather abrupt. The flashback story was pretty good, but the current story left something to be desired.

I totally agree and I felt that about book 1 as well. It's one of those mindless quick reads that you need to throw in from time to time so I'm liking it. If I was more in for a challenge I'd be disappointed.

I'll definitely read the entire series and I like it more than Dresden.

Exactly the same here. I end up trying to explain that I read and enjoy them not because of the quality, but because it is a break from other, more complex reads and it is purely for entertainment value, no deep thought process involved:):):)

Up to Ch. 21... I get all the separate parts, but I am not sure where are we going with the big picture yet. The Goulds came out of nowhere kind of, and I am a bit iffy about the whole clan involvement, but I am guessing we will find everything out as we go😀

Yes they seemed like a convenient addition. There's definitely a ton of faults with these books. Still liking it though.

Finished and enjoyed it:) I am up for the rest of the series, as always:) Our dude sure has a wondering eye though, so I would like him to find a girl for himself - the necromancer seems a good fit:):):)

Finished this morning. These are so cheesy but a good distraction from more serious works. Still I like this much more than Dresden.

Never read Dresden, But I will eventually... Yeah, this is why I like them too:):):)
