Casee is on vacation this week and Rowena is still on sabbatical.
Holly: I devoured Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews the day I got it from NetGalley. It was such a stellar read. I’m only sad that it’s over and there isn’t another book available. A common problem for me with Ilona Andrews. I read Shadow of a Doubt by Hailey Edwards, the first book in The Potentate of Atlanta series, a spinoff of The Beginner’s Guide to Necromancy. I didn’t love the main character in the previous series, but she’s growing on me. I do really love the hero and I’m anxious to learn more about it.
I re-read The Scarletti Curse by Christine Feehan and I finished re-reading the Kate Daniels series with Magic Shifts, Magic Binds and Magic Triumphs. I’m glad I re-read the series before reading Blood Heir. I also listened to Wildfire and One Fell Sweep. I’m in the market for a new audiobook if anyone has a recommendation.
I’m starting To Dream Again by Laura Lee Ghurke this week for my book club.
What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!
I’m reading The Masterpiece by Fiona Davis. I’s a good book, I’m enjoying it.
I’m reading Maisey Yates’s latest HP, HIS MAJESTY’S FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION. I’m enjoying it—especially because it includes an element I’ve rarely seen addressed in romances before: the difference between sexual chemistry and compatibility in other ways. The h&h have plenty of the former and very littl of the latter.
Since last time ~
— The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I REALLY enjoyed this book; in fact, my husband (who hasn’t read it) could likely tell you quite a bit about this book given how much I shared with him! Right after I finished the book, I reread portions.
— Axiom’s End: A Novel (Noumena, 1) by Lindsay Ellis. This science fiction was an intriguing read which frequently strained credulity; I read it over the course of a few weeks and nearly abandoned it. I notice now that it is the first in a series. I have to admit to being curious as to where the next volume will go, but by the time the next book is published I may have lost that interest.
— And a book that I quite enjoyed ~ The Lost Love Song: A Novel by Minnie Darke. I think I’ll be rereading this at some point.
