Rowena: I missed last week’s WAYR post because I was busy at my family reunion (which was a blast) so I’m going to fill you in on what I’ve been reading in the past couple of weeks to make up for it (lucky you! Ha)
After finishing Faking Perfect by Rebecca Phillips, I read A Million Times Goodnight by Kristina McBride and I did not like it. I kept waiting to understand and even like the main character but that never happened and the shit that those damn kids got themselves into made me mad. The shit that happens in the book, pissed me off so yeah I didn’t like that book even a little bit. I read Most Likely to Succeed by Jennifer Echols after and enjoyed that book more. There were things and characters that drove me bat shit crazy in that book too but compared to AMTG – it was a great read. I adored Sawyer (the love interest) and came to like Kaye but her Mom and ex boyfriend can both go and fall off a bridge.
I jumped into the Mayhem series by Jamie Shaw after the Jennifer Echols and really enjoyed the first and third book. I liked the second book but holy cow did the main character get on my hot damn nerves. I’m really anxious for Book 4 though and am glad that I started that series so thanks to Tracy for her reviews and for her recommendations. I’m a fan of this series, even if it’s not the easiest to read. I love me some Adam and Shawn and Joel and Mike. LOL.
I tried getting into Forever for a Year by B.T. Gottfred but the main character in that drove me insane so I promptly put that shit down. Now I’m reading Racing the Sun by Karina Halle and am enjoying it more than I thought I would.
Holly: I did a lot of re-reading this week because life was busy again. I re-read Fairytale Come Alive, At Peace, For You, Soaring and The Will by Kristen Ashley. I also re-read White Out and After the Night by Linda Howard. I read two stories from the Night Shift anthology: Secrets at Midnight by Nalini Singh and The Beast of Blackmoor by Milla Vane (aka Meljean Brook), which totally made me cry (in a good way). I have no idea what I’m going to read next.
What are you reading this week? Anything good? Bad? Let’s chat!
I’m really struggling to read anything. Too much to do, too much stress. I started another of the Krewe of Hunters series but I haven’t gotten through it yet. I didn’t even have the brain power for a reread. I’ll just love vicariously through everyone else’s reading. 🙂
I just finished Thea Harrison’s Midnight’s Kiss which was pleasant but doesn’t compare to my favorites in the Elder Races series.
