♥ Ashleigh ♥ ’s comments from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

I've been through many books this year already! I've seen to decided this year that if it doesn't peak my interest to DNF it straight away!!
Here are my results so far

4 stars:

3 stars:

DNF:

Currently Reading: might end up DNFing this book as well, it's not bad just not overly interesting.

re-read both were really good. I also read , it was a bit eh at the beginning... interesting but also confusing, a few chapters in and I was loving it. Devoured the thing as fast as i could.

Now I've started re-reading today, so far rather enjoying it. Looking forward to reading next.

Totally forgot I was listening to . Instead I started listening to which was surprisingly good, I was bummed to find out it was a stand alone, I'd love more books with these characters. The narrator did a wonderful job.

I also finished IMO better than the first, but the third one looks a little cringy - based off the sample I read, so I'm going to put it off for a while.
And read not as good as I had hoped but not bad at all, I'll def be reading book 2. Love the characters, and I loved how the two MC's were both females and besties <3

So now I'll either go back to Nightside or except it's been a while so I wouldn't mind re-reading the series except I don't appear to have Steal the Dragon which is annoying.

trying to push through it's not bad, but it's not K&D

Really thats interesting, I've never tried it that way before

hahaha thank you, I'm glad I'm still alive! I'd miss books. :P ;D

@ Sandra,

I was on this dreadful stair machine, my lungs were not my friend! lol.

Finished I ended up really enjoying it!! I was a bit meh about it at the beginning but by the end I didn't want it to finish. Now I have a terrible book hangover, so sad the series has finished :(

Also listening to while I'm at the gym. Not sure how much I took in the other night though, was mainly focused on not dying!! lol.

Im real excited because the first few times I read it I didn't have the audio but now im going tohear ..."

Which version do you think is better - the audio or text?

Smashed through both were really good.

Nightingale's Lament was entertaining as hell and rather outlandish but I enjoyed it much more because of it. 3/4 stars - unsure which one I'm leaning more towards.

Red Queen was devious which made it a fun read, sure there was some issues but overall I had a good time. 4 stars.

Been ages since my last update so I have a few

Re-Read:
All of them were brilliant as the first time I read them.

Also read:
I'll admit to not being as happy with the short stories, Daemon mainly focused on ass and legs.
I wasn't the books biggest fan, but it was fun reading about my current place of residence.
was really good, enjoyed reading from different perspectives.
LOVED!!!
Both were wonderful, and Night Broken wasn't as cringy as i had been expecting based off reviews which was nice.

Listened to:
was brilliant. Author and Narrator did a fantastic job!

DNF:
painfully choppy and awkward dialog.
boring.

currently reading:

finished .

Storm Glass was a bit disappointing compared to the main series, the characters were just blah. But I liked it enough to try and the next and hope for better things.

Six of Crows was amazing! I was a little apprehensive because I'm not the biggest fan of Leigh's other series, The Grisha. But I absolutely love how she wrote this one, the characters were brilliant, the politics corrupt and evil, just the way I like them and the world filled with all kinds of beliefs, cultures and other interesting tidbits. Really a fantastic start to a new series, can't wait to get my mitts on book 2!!

Starting , I didn't re-read the blurb before I dumped myself into this world and found myself utterly confused. But about 15 pages in and I think I'm starting to get it......

Started reading so far quite good.

Finished .

I ended up rating both 3 stars for different reasons. Rot and Ruin was good, well written, i like the story, and for the most part the characters (though I took a while to warm up to Benny) I liked that even though Benny was the MC he was by far the most badass or interesting. It's nice to see all the action from an out side point of view. So why only 3 stars? simple, the narrator could have done a better job. I found his emphasis on the characters emotions and actions to be bland and boring. Otherwise it was enjoyable to listen to - but I will be reading the next book instead.

The Veil had all the potential. Great set up, wonderful location, fascinating premise, but the characters to me were very.....been there, done that. I should have loved them, but they felt like the same cut out copies of a billion other characters. It was close, like i said i should have like them, but there was just something missing that held them back from being excellent characters that i could love. which is unfortunate. Also there was all this crazy going on at the end, then they drop this personal bomb on our heads which i thought was ridiculous, maybe should have waited for the next book? or done it earlier? either way it completely pulled me out of the story, a very wtf moment. still an enjoyable enough read, don't think I'll be reading The Sight though.

Already finished [bookcover:Night Broken|1..."

Wow, you've been powering through the Mercy series!! Glad you're enjoying it :D

started listening to . The voices are sometimes hard to tell apart, but enjoying none-the less.

Will do!
I really enjoyed her other series as well, though I think I only made it to about book 6, I'll have to pick it back up again one day.

started I like the bases of the book so far (magic and paranormal have torn through the veil separating the two worlds which exploded into a massive war) and I love where the book is set - New Orleans. But I'm a little iffy on the characters, I'm only a few pages in so I hope they'll grow on me.

Stayed up till almost 3am finishing . What a great book!! unsure what I'll be rating the book somewhere around 4-5 stars I imagine.

So I ended up DNFing about midway through, it was making me feel queasy and I kept avoiding it, I was super keen to see the bad guys get caught, but not enough to read the rest. Plus I have a giant pile of books from the library I need to get through anyways.

Still listening to and really enjoying it. I believe I'm about midway through atm (they're at a 60's ghost cafe).

Also started nothing like I expected at all, and I'm loving every moment of it!! I did find the second chapter to be very confusing but after I understood the paranormal element I devoured the book - ended up staying up till 3 am! then I forced myself to put the book down. Looking forward to reading the last half!!
