Jonetta (ejaygirl) I've been a bit behind in my postings.

I'm finally returning to the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole and finished Dark Needs at Night's Edge The Brothers Wroth Warlord Wants Forever, No Rest for the Wicked, Dark Needs at Night's Edge, Untouchable by Kresley Cole . I loved this ghost story, which I didn't think I would.

I also finished a book by a new author, Abbie Williams. The book, Summer at the Shore Leave Cafe Summer at the Shore Leave Cafe by Abbie Williams , is a contemporary romance but was also more...like contemporary fiction. I was asked by the publisher to read it and provide a review and I loved this story. The one negative is that it's a two book series and the first leaves a lot of issues unresolved. However, it was still extraordinary.

I've also begun the Chicagoland Vampire series by Chloe Neill and finished Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, #2) by Chloe Neill Friday Night Bites and Twice Bitten Twice Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #3) by Chloe Neill . I am so hooked. It took me almost two years to start this series and now I'm finding it hard to not just put everything else aside and catch up with the series.

Jonetta (ejaygirl) Oh! I also finished the last book in the Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane, Chasing Magic Chasing Magic (Downside Ghosts, #5) by Stacia Kane . I'm going to miss these characters and have no idea when the next book in the series is schedule for release.

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've just finished The Divide by Nicholas Evans by Nicholas Evans and Plum Lovin' (Stephanie Plum, #12.5) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich.

The Divide started off so well but the plot did get quite slow halfway through the book. I did wish it would speed up at times but the story did remain strangely engaging. The last 60 or 70 pages of the novel were just as gripping and compelling as the first half of the novel. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the family drama sub-plot a lot more than I liked the murder mystery plot but I think that was probably because I didn't like the character of Abbie all that much so I found it hard to care about what happened to her. I loved all the vivid and wonderful descriptions of the Montana setting and landscape that made me feel like I was actually there. Nicholas Evans has got a great writing style and I love his use of language and imagery. I gave this novel 3½ stars!

I love all the regular Stephanie Plum novels but I'm not sure I like these between the numbers novellas. I was very disappointed by Plum Lovin'. Nothing much happened in it and it was extremely dull and boring. It wasn't anywhere near as funny as the regular novels do be and I really hate the supernatural element in the novella. I gave it 1½ stars!

message 15: by Jaret (new)

Jaret I finished Bruja Brouhaha Bruja Brouhaha (A Mind For Murder Mystery #2) by Rochelle Staab . It was very predictable, but was a fun read anyway.

message 24: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've finished reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes by Jojo Moyes and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway by Ernest Hemingway.

I loved Me Before You from beginning to the end. It's a very complex novel. It is well-written, heart-breaking, gripping and deeply moving. I cried my eyes out several times while reading this book. I don't think I've ever cried this much while reading a book before! This novel deals with the topic of euthanasia and could have been really depressing but it's a credit to the skill of the author that she makes the book so readable. This is a thought provoking story and, whatever you feel about assisted suicide, it will make you think about how you would cope if suddenly all your choices and decisions were taken away from you and you had to rely on others to do everything for you. I gave this book 4.5 Stars!

Now I'm a couple of chapters into Lean Mean Thirteen (Stephanie Plum, #13) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich.
