Hello y’all!!! My really name is Stephanie it is a pleasure to be ing this group with you both!!!
I like Quad Squad....hi Stephanie...what is your fave series? I love October Daye and currently reading The Arcana Chronicles
Hi Rosina! I don’t know if I’ve ever read anything by that author! I will have to look her up! I like the throne of glass series by Sara J. Mass. I also love the off campus series by Elle Kennedy!
I have only read ACOTAR...have #2 ...havent read Elle Kennedy...october Daye is the name of the series...its by seanan mcguire...
Morning...This afternon will be first shelf call.... i wont be on till later this evening but will check in....
Have a great day...
Team Name .... Captain ....
I can’t be team captain but I vote the name I put above as the name🤷🏻♀️ I have severe anxiety
This is only second time playing Bingo so I don’t really feel comfortable being captain but if I have to I’ll figure it out and get things set up. I work 12 hour days so I will get a schedule and stuff set up for myself to be able to make sure things get posted on time
we could also split Captain duties I'm usually online when the Shelf call occurs so I could post that... other than today I'm currently out on the roadI like Quad Squad
Thanks for stepping up Jothany, its not really hard, I'm sure you'll be fine, and with only 3 people incl yourself you couldn't pick a better time to dip your toe in the water :)

Review: Such a Unique book!
Angels blood so very unique! Take all of the books that you’ve read with angels in them and throw them out the freaking window because this is not those books! Angels creating vampires?! What?! Humans being able to smell vampires and hunt them and taste them on the wind?! No freaking way! But it’s true this book has all that and more , death, destruction, rebirth and I highly recommend that you read it! I cannot wait to get into book 2 of the series I am extremely excited to do so!
Glad you loved it Stephanie, its one of my favourites :)
I should be able to start City of Glass tomorrow. I wanted to finish the two I was currently reading. I DNF one and have like maybe 3-4 chapters left in my second one

Review: I decided to read this one first because I’m sick and needed something I could follow relatively easy. Just as I thought, loved it just as much as I loved Illuminae. I actually finished in a span of a few hours lol I did not want to put it down. Not entirely sure why, but I love AIDAN. Definitely my favorite character. I love all the twists and turns this series takes and I can not until I can dive into Obsidio.

Review; I really enjoyed this start to the Fallen Angels series. The first couple of chapters I was trying to figure out OK where are you going with this story. Then all of a sudden I was reading and couldnt put it down. Well done characters and story.
Briefly Jim was an ex military who was working construction and has an accident on the job, he meets some angels and is returned to earth to help people in the crossroads of life. Vin is an uber rich guy who has a hot- bitchy girlfriend Devina. Marie Therese is an exotic dancer. These three are the focus for Jim. There is witty, snarky, humor and great bunch of side angels that help Jim. Will definitely continue with the series.

Review: ok why did it take me sooo long to read this?? I didn’t realize I missed these characters and world so much. Plus all the twists and reveals made it all that more better. I’m still highly upset about a certain thing that happened (probably won’t ever be over it) and I have questions about things said or done towards the end. I just might have a Shadowhunter Fall.
CONGRATULATIONS, Quad Squad!You now have an updated BINGO card with a stamp on 'angels'.

Rating: 3.5 stars
Review:
I had read the first in the series many years ago. It is a spin off series from the Night Huntress, which has my fave book couple Cat & Bones. This focus on Vlad Dracul and Leila. The story continues on from the first. Leila was hoping that Vlad was going to propose marriage but she was disappointed when he didn't and he wanted to do a vampire bonding ceremony. Leila left and returned to the circus and her mentor Marty. Someone was trying to kill her and the whole story was about trying to find the traitor from Vlad's circle. The reason I enjoy these books is the writing is witty and light. Its not a dark vampire story.
Congrats on the stamp 4 Amigos!
