Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 675 comments I finished The Hidden (The Hollow, #3) by Jessica Verday on Friday night and I have started the e-arc of Hushed by Kelley York yesterday.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 675 comments Finished Hushed by Kelley York last night and I have started Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor which I don't have high expectations for because I read another book by this author last year and I did not like it, but I want to give this author another chance.

Amy let me know how you are liking Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I go it from the library.

Will do. I'm interested to see how this author uses Angels in this book because I noticed this book has some form of Angels in it.

Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) I did absolutely nothing today but read. It felt good. Just finished At Grave's End (Night Huntress, #3) by Jeaniene Frost .

The Hollow series is good if you like the Sleepy Hollow tale, paranormal elements, and mystery mixed in.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 675 comments ❥☪LIZZ NEILL☪❥ wrote: "Amy let me know how you are liking Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I go it from the library."

I just finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone and I'm torn of rating this book a 3 or 4 star. Maybe you will like it more than I did.


message 21: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Oh okay. Cools! I have Sleepy Hollow on my Kindle, but haven't read it yet. Good to know!

Why didn't you like D of S&B that much?

I found it weird a little and kinda boring during some parts. I know this book has got good reviews, but sometimes, you will have people who will think the opposite of a book.

@Zakiya Darker Still (Magic Most Foul, #1) by Leanna Renee Hieber I liked it all right but it was very slow in parts. I really didn't get Denbury at all. But I am going to go on with the series. Maybe you will have better luck then me.

Pure unadulterated fun! Usually those overly perky, cheerleader types just make me grit my teeth....but, since you know from the jacket blurb that they are not quite what they seem to be, it was fun. I kept hoping there would be an "unveiling" of the zombies, and I got one! YAY!!!


message 50: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) That's great!!!! :D I'll definitely have to get that one on my Kindle ASAP!
