Well, our group is focused on paranormal and/or urban fantasy, so I would suggest sticking with those mostly, BUT... if you've read another type of romance that has blown your mind, no one is going to mind if you let us know. ;)

What do I like about it? Well first, this is the last book in the series so most of us have been waiting for this one for a
Secondly, the whole series has been an unexpected evolving story. It first starts out as an annoying YA book 1, full of teenage cheerleading angsty story plot line. But around chapter 13 or so, the paradigm changes and the book becomes a dystopia, end of the world scenario full infectious monsters. Then a few chapters later romance ensues and another paradigm happens to change book 1 into a book in the paranormal genre. By the end of the book, you realize it’s a whole different book than what you started with, pleasantly so.
The rest of the series gets better, many foes to vanquish, just outstanding world building, and you see the leading character grow in maturity and strength. It’s a clever, well thought out book and Kresley Cole delivers and on taking you on a journey.
Here’s a link to a great trailer to explain the series better than I can.
