I think this is my least favorite so far in the series. Not bad, but seemed to lack something that the other books did. I really liked having Sam more involved in the books than he was in this one.

I am really liking this series. I tried to get into it a while back and just couldn't. Good thing my memory of these isn't to great because this time I like it.

I for one am glad that Gillian didn't end up with William. I didn't like them together. She is too good for him, he needs a girl who is going to fight him the whole way through. I do very much anticipate his book though.

I really like Puck. I really like Gillian. Without him she would never have had the chance to accomplish all she did in Amaranthia. She grew up, and was able to do so that it was all hers.

I just love this world, one of my favorite series.

Read this in college and still partied harder than a rock star in my twenties. All this book did was get me curious about drugs and want to try all the ones I had just read about.
“LSD IS BAD,” Said the book.
“BUT BAD IS GOOD. NOW I GOTTA TRY IT!” My twenty year brain screamed in response.

I find that urban fantasy has pulled me from my reading slump. I was reading paranormal romance for a bit, but find that the quick, sappy endings were getting to be too much.

So I really think this series. Definitely a series I will read straight through to the most recent publication.

I picked this book up at a yard sale when I was about six. The man I bought it from told the title,I thought he had said something like: A Donkey Named Oaty. Well needless to say my young mind thought that just sounded awsome and the size of the book, big plus...bedtime stories forever. After about a week of begging my mom (passed away in 2012 at 50 years old, too young) finally started ‘reading' this to me. It wasn't until I had to read this in my first year in college that I realized she had made up every story about Donkey Oaty and his sidekick Serventzo.

Well, today I decoded to stop at a yard sale and fund the exact edition my mother used to pretend to read to me.

My mother's version was much better.

I liked this, but I was so hoping for more action. This is all about the feelings and how the group has progressed since the last book.

I don't even know how to rate this. This author can write beautifully, but there isn't enough balance to action, romance, dialogue, everything. Way too much dialogue. And every bit of it seemed to be a some sort of witty debate.

There were characters who were written to be hated, and hate them I did. I also saw another side to them though that made me almost feel for them and understand why they were the way they were.

This is is way too long. When I saw the page count I was expecting some major world building, a lot of plot, but no. There was only a girl who was messed up by the death of her mother who felt she needed to set out and save the world to right that wrong, she seemed to think she was a hero though. In the beginning I thought this would be a evil vs good, in way it was, but it was more about blending the two and seeing good and evil in all.

So so I would call this monster romance, but not the banging Bigfoot kind.

i feel I should add that this is very disturbing. I almost hate this book, but I don't. I don't know what I think of this. I enjoyed hating almost everything about it?!

This reminds me of a mix between the Black Dagger Brotherhood and Dark Hunters, pretty good though. I didn't like the first book in this series that well, glad I decided try book two.

I really like this series. This one was a bit different than the previous two because there wasn't as much family fun as in the other two where we had a main character frequently in the story.

I did enjoy that the couple was very compatible and had similar interests. I liked having the kids in this one. Book 4 now.

I read the first books in Ione's Demonica series, I for some reason never considered reading any of the books in the spinoff Lords of Deliverance. I should have started these a while ago. These sit perfectly with the books I normally read. Glad I waited though, this definitely pulled me out of a reading slump.

I love that the characters from Demonica also appear in this. It was nice to get updates on them. I do think I may reread those books because I feel I have forgotten bits of them.

This seriously put me in mind of Showalter's LOTU books with the demon possessed Ares, a good thing in my opinion considering they are among my favorite books.

This is has everything you want in a paranormal romance. The unique characters, the smutty sex, the hero with a bad side, etc. I tend to not love books in this genre where one of the main characters is human, but Ione's found a way to make the human unique and really drag her into thus world. I like how the female Cara grows into what she becomes but also holds true to her roots.

Bravo! Thank you book for pulling me from my slump. On to the next book just so happens I have a copy I rescued from a trash can at the airport about a year ago, still even smells like pickles.

This is pretty neat. It is more then just a coloring book. Every other page is an activity of some sorts. The are dot to dot, color by number, traditional coloring, design your own, and more. On the iposite page is a prompt about writing thoughtful list, instructions on how to complete the opposite. There are four sections for the seasons. It is a bit smaller than a traditional coloring book. I like that it has an elastic band for holding it together, these help to stop books such as this from flapping open and getting crinkles.

I do feel it important to point out that some of these designs are very detailed and I belive some people with optical issues would find the content hard to complete.

This would make a great gift.

This book could have been so much better. It is a short story about a Viking bear-shifter who raid an English settlement killing and robbing the settlers. He spare the life of a woman because he eels an attraction for her. They sail across the water together to his home and then the story falls apart. Initially I thought it would be a longer but the font wzs large and just made it seem that way. I finished it in just a half hour.

How did I not know about this?!?! I didn't like this series but how did I not know about this book coming out?

Shadows Claim, the first Dacians novel is my favorite in this series. I love the ability that these Dacians have. Mostly being able to turn to mist.

I love Cole's writing and the worlds she writes about. I was a bit worried after Sweet Ruin that this series was taking a turn I didn't like. I do wish we had seen more of our favorite characters, but this is only a novella.

A lot of people have issues with this being a m/m. I admit I really wanted a sweet Dacian vampire princess for Cas, but a prince worked. The are good together and the prince really tamed the demon.

As far as story progression goes, this is a cliffhanger! Uhg... really? At least the next comes out soon.

In a nutshell: not my fave but not horrid.

This is a good start to a series. Cool world, lots of sex, but I wouldn't label it erotica, and there are a lot of books already written.

This one is full of twists and turns, both heart breaking and heart warning moments, and in the endd really ties this series together. I am saddened that this is the last book in this series, but am very glad that I decided to finally read this. On to some more of Frank's books.

Great paranormal romance. Strong females, delicious, flawed males. This author writes pretty good action scenes.

This is young adult urban fantasy. It is set in a magical London. Sound familiar? It should, this has been done many times. What makes this worth the read is Pollack's ability to be so descriptive that it creeps you out. Like a lot of other reviewers the voice stealing, telephone wire walking spiders will stick with me for a while. So will the mirror dwellers. This city literally is alive.

For fans of Gaiman.

I liked this and am giving it 4 stars hoping that the first book is as good, but I will admit that I am a bit confused and wish I would have read the first book before reading this.

This was okay. I definitely wish that the female lead, Tamara, would have been a bit stronger, not so docile. I do like the male, Eric. I don't really see how they are such a good match.

The pacing of the story was good, not fast, not slow. I do wish there was more relationship building.

This has been a great help. Most of what is included in this should be obvious, but it is easy to forget how to handle yourself at difficult times when trying to communicate with someone whose mind does not process things the same way as most others.

This is written by a man who has an autism diagnosis, so this is the best advice possible. When you have someone in your life who is on the spectrum I promise there will be times when communication is not working out perfectly. It took me years to figure that sarcasm is generally not a good way to communicate. I wish that I read this when I first started in the field I work in. So much confusion, damage, and anxiety could have been avoided. Things that I had said have caused major repercussions. This should be required reading for anyone who finds themselves in close contact with someone with autism, heck it should be required reading for everyone.

If you are looking for an in depth exploration of communicating with those on the spectrum, this isn't it. This is for someone who wants good advice that is easy to understand and apply.

This is your typical shifter book. You have instamates, graphic sex, cool shifting, etc. In this we have two shifters who meet each other at not the perfect time. Matthias has a vendetta against Trinity's pack alpha. He kidnaps her in order to get a shot at his target. Matthias has already buried his mate and doesn't understand the pull he feels towards Trinity. Sound familiar?

If you have read other Harlequin shifter books this is just what you expect to get.

This is great for someone who had memories involving racetracks of the past in search of a bit of nostalgia. I especially liked the way this is set up. There is so much history and information in this. It is well written and the photographs used add so much. Great job. Highly recommend.

This is great. For anyone who has read the work of Roakd Dahl you know how he has a knack for using ridiculous, off the wall word a, and making them work perfectly. This is a collection of those words along with meanings. The illustrations s are typical to what you see in his books; wonderful and goofy. This is sure to be loved by both children and adults.
