I really enjoyed the aspect of responsibility felt by Graff and Mazer to help the children they had messed up in order to save the world.  It's a fun concept.  Well done!

This continues the story of Emma and her cousins. I like how Emma was not forgotten in the book, but we were able to learn more about her cousin Jasper and how he finds his mates. The fact that the men match up and are sex partners first, then find a female was so cool. And yet there was no jealously between the characters. I liked seeing how Jasper was adjusting to the new situation. His partners also have great background stories that kept you wanting to read more. And of course, there was ton of sex scenes....HEHE

His Inconvenient Choice picks up shortly after Jane and Mary got married so there is a little bit of time between when No Other Choice ends and this book begins. I really enjoyed this story and the way Kitty's character develops during this series. Kitty and Richard are a really good match in this series and I enjoyed seeing how all the characters joined together to help Kitty and Richard get their happy ending as well. The Bennet family connection to the groomsman who was involved with Lady Catherine's mother was brought up again in this book and I am curious to learn more about that story and hope to get the full story about that in the next book of this series. I have added&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Her-Heart-s-Choice-A-Pride-and-Prejudice-Novella-Choices-Volume-4/dp/1533344566/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Her Heart's Choice: A Pride and Prejudice Novella (Choices) (Volume 4)</a>&nbsp;to my TBR List and hope to read it soon.

I came right off of reading the first book in the series, Tesla Evolution Book 1, and I enjoyed it so much, I dove directly into the second volume.

This is the continuing adventures of Sebastian and Melanie.  Melanie, who was weeks from succumbing to cancer in the previous book, has just found out that she has been cured, due to the radiation emitted from Sebastian himself!  However, she is warned that, if she continues to stay in close contact with him, she could be in danger of dying from radiation poisoning.  They have arrived at the Steam Academy, one of their main missions in the previous book, but soon realize that it is not the salvation that they had hoped it would be.  Food shortages and civil unrest threaten everyone's livelihood, as well as the outside threat of the cyborgs.

Going from Tesla to Decay was a very nice transition, but not exactly the same.  The author's style has changed slightly from the first to second volumes, as has the overall tone of the book.  This book is significantly darker than the previous volume.  While not automatically a bad thing (I certainly enjoyed the change, overall), it should be noted that, while things were definitely bleak before, it becomes much bleaker this time around.

This has shaped up to be a fantastic series, and I am very much looking forward to reading the next in the series.  Which I can do right now, since it's already out!

It's a great story- and while I won't spoil it, it does neatly tie up some loose plot threads from prior books. As the books go on, it's easy to see the author's experience. Where the first book was a slightly unpolished gem, with a solid concept and fun characters, this one brings character growth to the forefront as Minerva Banks faces some of her biggest obstacles yet.

More moral greyness than expected, given prior books, but it makes sense given the nature of the "protagonist" and her maturity. Lord if I didn't want to slap Victor and Co. a few times, though. Definitely worth a read! I've bought every book so far in the series, and I can't wait for the next one in April!

J.D.'s story picks up where Cade Stark's left off...trying to find the missing anti-drome plans a weapons dealer (Zendaris) wants.

I like how this story connected to Cade's.  Abby (who stole the plans from Cade after he stole them from Zendaris) happens to be the roommate of Noelle Dupree.  J.D. spends (assumedly) weeks keeping an eye on Noelle outside her DC apartment.  Abby's been missing for a while and the police say it's no longer their case.  When Noelle comes home to find her apartment ransacked, she determines it's time to head to a family cabin in Colorado.

While in Colorado, she runs into a handsome, helpful cowboy named Jim Davis.  Noelle's recent past has included some very traumatic times.  Her husband was killed right in front of her a couple years prior.  She deals with her guilt and PTSD by becoming OCD.  Because of her OCD, she realizes someone's been inside her family cabin...they just didn't ransack it this time.  For her to find J.D. at her doorstep and be so trusting of him was challenging to accept considering her violent past.

J.D.'s mission is the same.  Protect Noelle and now find out what she knows of her missing roommate.  Jack Coburn FINALLY shows up in this book.  He wants J.D. to stay on task with this mission and keep Noelle in the dark.  J.D.'s gut tells him Noelle doesn't know anything and he wants to tell her.  That continues to be his inner conflict as he finds himself more and more attracted to her.

In this book, Zendaris came across as mistake-prone.  For a weapons dealer who only hires the best to do his dirty work, he made a number of missteps.

Noelle and J.D.'s first attempt at making love was a challenge to read.  It just wasn't the right time (something J.D. as a gentleman/cowboy should've known).

Noelle seemed to jump back and forth of trusting him and questioning if she should.  Then, when she really should have trusted him, she didn't.

This book wasn't quite as good for me as the first one.  It had adventure, but just seemed off to me.  It didn't have what Cade's story had at the end:  a direct lead into the next story (Gabe's).  This series is becoming a challenge to read for me.  These are a "team" of agents who never seem to work together.  They easily could still have their own stories while working together.  I just don't feel Gabe's story is going to have much meat to it.  I hope I'm wrong.

I've read books 1 & 2 and this was a nice addition to the storyline. Love the characters especially Dale and Kenyo. I hope that the author continues to write more stories featuring everyone from the first two books.

A wonderful continuation to Gyan and Arthur's story. I liked the fact that it picked up right where Dawnflight left off. I didn't feel like I had been missing out on anything.

I became much more involved with the characters this book than I did in the first. The duality of Gyan's nature (Wife/Chieftaness, Woman/Warrior, Pagan/Christian) truly comes out in this part of the story. The reader truly gets a glimpse of all that she is fighting for/against as she struggles to support Arthur's tenuous hold. I was happy to see that Gyan comes more fully to understand her conversion over the course of the story as well.

Loved how the supporting characters were further developed in this part of the story as well. I cannot wait to see what happens with Angus in the next book. I still despise Urien, but we get to see that there is much more to Morghe than meets the eye.

Again the scenery, the descriptions of the battles, even the herding of the cattle were richly detailed.

Jasper has done a great job at keeping my interest as this story unfolds and spreads across the universe.  I still love the characters and am really enjoying meeting the new ones.  The storyline has a nice flow to it and it keeps you turning the next page so that you can see what happens next.
I can't wait to read Book 3 and see where it goes from here!

And he is one heck of a storyteller! If you liked Ender, you'll love Bean. And remember, the enemy's gate is down.

This was a great continuation of the story. Jamie Lee is just as much of a scoundrel, but you begin to see how he ended up the way he is. You still hate him, but you also understand him a bit more. This one leaves off with you racing to pick up part three to see what happens next!

Great Books, I hope more come out in this series and the Bean & Ab Series. The Author is a Top 5 Kindle Writer.

This book is a great continuation of the first. I absolutely love reading about 16th and 17th century japan, ie, samurai, shogun, bushido etc. This story line is fast paced and the characters are very believable and exciting. No love/sex in this book, and you don't need it. Book tells and excellent story of the main character, Kami and his troubles and travels throughout japan. I don't want to ruin anything about the plot or story of this book for anyone who hasn't read it, but all i can say is if you love this period of japan, a good story line with very compatible characters etc then you'll just love this book. i am already on the 3rd story and hope and pray that this author continues kami's journey. enjoy reading this.

Really enjoyed this book! Great continuation of the story. There is a note at the beginning of this book that you should read the other series, 'I See Me' (Oracle 1) before reading this book. So there are a few spoilers for Oracle 1 if you decide to read it later. Also there is something major that happens between 2 of the main characters in Dowser series in Oracle 1. I did not read Oracle 1 first and I did find it a little odd to note the changes in the characters. I don't feel like you have to read Oracle first, but if you plan on it, then it might be worth it to read it first. Otherwise this book was great.

Harper Bliss never ceases to amaze me, this is another wonderfully written story in the Pink Bean Series which seems to get better and better as we go along and oh how I loved PB7.

I had read Ender's Game a LONG time ago, and then found Ender's Shadow a while back, and devoured it. I enjoyed it so much, I had to find Ender's Game to re-read it and reacquaint myself with the universe they live in.
This book is essentially Ender's Game from Bean's point of view, and it gives you some GREAT insight into who Bean is, and what drives him. It's also a great "outside" view of Ender and his experiences in Battle School.
This is diffinitely a great book to recommend, especially to boys of middle school and high school age as they struggle with some very real identity issues.

Good way to collect the supplemental series concerning the character Bean.
