Phenomenal continuation of this series

Melody wants revenge against the man who killed her mother. Adam was part of the conspiracy that resulted in her death but saved Melody at same time. Mallory Crowe sweeps you into this fast paced exciting story where these two pair up to take out the killer. The sexual tension builds right along side the suspense as Melody and Adam track him down then have to stay ahead to keep from being killed. This is one of best series books I've read. I didn't want to put it down.

Michael G. Manning has hit another home run in his latest book for the Mageborn series.  With the release of Mageborn: The God-Stone War the series takes a turn towards the darker and grittier side as Mord continues to struggle with defending his home and family from odds that are stacked against him.  This book is set 7 years after the last book in the series, and you can see some very significant character growth in how all of the characters are more mature.  This puts a very realistic spin to the relationships all of the characters enjoy.  Additionally, the author's use of foreshadowing is amazingly well done, driving home some of the points you see throughout the book.  In closing, I'll simply state that this book continuously leaves you wondering how all the loose ends will tie themselves off in book 5.  I can't wait to get my hands on it!

WOW. I almost don't know where to start with this one since I don't want to give anything away. First of all, the story was incredible. It picks up right where ALIVE left off, putting our heroes against new elements and obstacles. Sigler continues to build a vivid world with strong characters in dire situations, adding shocks that you literally will not see coming. Em continues to grow as a powerful heroine in an impossible situation which forces her to act, and suffer the consequences of those actions. Also, fair warning, be ready for Sigler to break your heart. I didn't expect the ending at all, and if that doesn't prove that no one is safe, nothing will. Sigler is a master authorable to use one single sentence to crush my poor fangirl heart. ALIGHT is an fantastic book, and while I'm nervous about the body count the series is racking up, I can't wait for the conclusion.

I am truly addicted to this series. It is not the sort of thing I usually read, but Isabel has created such a full and unique universe that I am waiting for the next book as soon as I have finished the last.

Dark Operative has taken Turner, a minor character so far, and turned him into a very flawed but lovable hero. We are cheering for him and Bridget to get to the stage of true love mates in spite of all the complications that involves.

I'm now two books into this series, having read both The Detective and The Soul Summoner. As excellent as those were, if anything this series is just getting better and better. The connection between Sloan and Warren and Nate is wonderfully drawn. The lead characters are strong and increasingly layered and complex (as is the overall story line itself), the supporting characters are excellent and world-building top notch. We are finding out more and more about who / what Sloan is and more backstory on others. New characters come in, some questions are answered while others arise. While we don't reach a HEA yet, we do get a Happily Enough for Now, with the immediate plot Qs answered, but watch out as this is the sort of author who puts in teasers at the end that don't add anything to the book's plot bit leave you panting for the next book. Not as bad as a cliffhanger but still something I dislike and avoid if I can - so you might want to skip the final pages till your ready for the next book. Despite that, as it is just a minor annoyance, this really was a great book and I strongly recommend it.

This series, and especially this book, is nothing short of incredible.  The plot is deliciously complicated, the characters are interesting and very well developed - everything about it just sucked me in.  Eagerly awaiting the next installment!

OMG - I so love this series, and this latest installment was FRIGGIN AMAZING!!

The plot twists are enough to keep you turning the pages and not be able to put this down till the surprising end. I can barely wait for the next installment as I really need to know what happens next. There is a lot of hopping around back and forth and all around in the beginning, but it's necessary for the story to play out as needed. Once you start on this book, be prepared, cause you will be able to stop until you reach the end...then will really need to know what the heck happens next!!

Amazing as ever from Ms. Hauser - but this story has topped them all!!!

This series keeps getting better!  I truly adore it and am glad I took a chance on it.  The characters keep getting more entertaining, the relationships are really solidifying and the stories are still fun and adventurous to read.

With Deadly Games, I particularly like the mystery of the disappearing athletes.  The partnership between Basilard and Sicarius was well done and it was interesting to see them bond.  I loved getting in to Basilard's head.  He interacts so well within the group with his own quips and humor, but his own story is so sad.  A part of me would love to see him reunited with his daughter, but I love that he's creating his own family with this grouping.  Although, the mystery of Akstar is proving to be tough, and I'd love to get into his head.  I love how this group has grown together, has become like a family unit. With Sicarius as the black sheep to most of them, heh.

I can't wait to start on the next one!

This is the latest instalment in my favourite paranormal series and I was excited to read more about the world after the fall of Silence. It turned out to be such a turbulent journey, full of unexpected and sweet, a pleasure to follow through. I just bow my head to Ms Singh for the absolutely amazing paranormal world she has created in this series and the way she keeps elaborating and expanding it with each new book. There is so much going on, so much depth that it never gets boring or predictable.

The strongest element of this story for the me was the suspense/mystery plot. At times it even read more as urban fantasy than paranormal romance but I'm OK with it since it was really well-developed and created a rather engaging story.

This book is set in the aftermath of the fall of Silence and even though the action involves all the races, as well as some new players (Hello, Remy), the romance was focused on two Arrows - Aden and Zaira.

Aden was brilliant - strong and steady, calm and reliable and oh-so-fantastic with the Arrow kids. Clues but caring adults trying to figure out how the raise kids is a favoruite scenario in fiction for me. The tension was even stronger since the adults were Arrows - a squad of super fighters/assassins trained to suppress their emotion at the deepest level. The scenes between Aden/Zaira and the Arrow kids completely melted my heart. Aden focused on turning his Arrows into a sort of pack of his own and his efforts were both painful and admirable.

Zaira was a really troubled character. I liked the intricacy of her character very much, her journey to herself and allowing herself to feel was not an easy one. Her focus on "the beast inside, the madness" was repetitive at times and a bit annoying. Still, Aden was all too patient and he was strong enough to help her overcome her own fear and insecurities.

The romance was strong and captivating but I missed the moment of discovery that you have feelings which I love about the Psy - all the confusion, uncertainty, even refusal to admit, to try, to pursue. Aden and Zaira have had this strong connection/chemistry ever since they met as children and they both knew they belonged to each other. The conflict was based on Zaira's fear of her madness and her reluctance to risk the life of those she loved. They were together from the start, though they did walked their own path of discovery of sensual pleasure and true connection of body and soul.

I very much enjoyed the suspense elements of the story, it was complex, full of twists and turns and kept me on the edge till the very end. The plot is sort of setting the stage for further conflicts in the post-Silence world.

Another element in the story which I particularly liked is seeing so many of the characters from the previous books acting together here. The world has been irrevocable changed and Psy, changelings and humans need to find their place in the new world order. And there are some powerful enemies lurking around!

There will be more stories coming in the series and I'm already curious who will the star of the next book. Remy, probably? I'd love a changeling story next. Or Nikita and Anthony? Or someone totally unexpected?

I love this series. Pittacus Lore (author) blends the fantastic with modern reality in a pulse pounding storyline. The story to me just has it all...Sci-fi, additionally blending Horror, fear,friendships, Love, loss/pain of, redemption, I could go on and on of course. The characters are deeply written about and I felt I cared for them all. (the non-mogs of course) However, even they (the Mogs) are fascinating in their single minded drive and need for dominance. I give the series a high 5 stars and highly recommend.

I can't help but love this series. I've read so many stories that have been skimmed through quickly because I honestly got bored, and it became a chore to read them any further. I can re-read this story and it never gets boring, every word meaningful. The character developments are amazing throughout each book, so much so that I find myself arguing on behalf of certain ones. The heroine is strong and a smart ass and so perfect (and perfectly flawed) I fell in love with her right away. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the series to continue and debating whether to start sending Ms. Brunnemer coffee as a help-along service. Thanks for creating an amazing world and putting it on paper for us normal people to be able to experience it.

This installment in the series continues the spellbinding story.  I can't wait to see how it all wraps up in the next/last book.  Others have commented that the various story lines are too choppy, but I actually liked the effect of peeking in on someone we met a few chapters ago - or maybe even in the last book. They all have their part to play in the overall story, and you just know it will be a spectacular ending.  You must start with the 1st book though, or you will not understand what is going on - the underlying connections between the many different characters. I definitely recommend the series.

I absolutely love this series. As a huge fan of ZA fiction, I've read more books in this genre than I'd like to admit. This is one of my favorite series; I devoured all six in less than two weeks!
It's not too often anymore that I'm surprised entirely by an innovation in this realm of fiction, but high five to James Cook for changing that! No spoilers, but one tactic revealed early on in this book was something I've never heard before.
I'm such a huge fan of these books because of how utterly logically they progress. Of course it's a fictional world, but I'm not forced to take giant leaps of faith in situations, either. The events over the course of the six books happen very naturally, very logically. For example, the country collapsed politically, economically, and in pretty much every other way because of the Phage. However, as the series continues, you get a glimpse of the country rebuilding, and it happens in a relatable, logical manner.
No shortage of ass kicking and zombie gore; very well articulated and fantastic character development. I cannot WAIT for the next one!!

Fantastic continuation of the already fantastic story. I was worried the absence of key characters would leave me feeling empty, but the new characters are just as captivating and interesting.

Ashes is the 4th book in this incredible series and slightly slower paced than the other four but no less exciting and its nice to have a very slight slow down to find out more about the fantastic characters. Im sooo addicted to this series I simply cannot stop reading and devoured book four in another one night sitting.
The subplots have become stronger and more developed and Im enjoying the introduction of another group.

I missed Captian Ash as he is recovering from book 3 and taken a back seat in book 4. Brandon his son however has taken over in this book and is growing up as tough and intuitive as his Dad a clever move from Brett.
What I love about this series is the fact that even one of the sick often doesn't realize how dangerous they are by doing something so simple they risk thousands of lives.
This is definitely a gripping and engaging read through every chapter. Brett has created yet another brilliant cliffhanger and this one is genius; it will throw the resistance into mayhem trying to sort this one. Ive already downloaded Eden rising book 5 and its glowing nicely on my Paperwhite ready to read.

I highly recommend this series but read them in order to get the best out of this incredible plot.

This book grabbed from the first chapter and never let me go. Meg has crafted such a compelling and action-packed story and I can not wait for the next installment of this series. The strong yet flawed heroine Michaela continues her journey and as the reader you cannot help but root for her. My favorite character arcs in this second installment are of Gabriel and Clark, who both are thrown in directions I didn't see coming but fits so perfectly well for each. The story is a quick read and leaves you craving the next installment...which can't get here fast enough. Meg herself, impresses me with her ability to craft this epic tale in so few pages. She is masterful in the way she moves the main story forward, continues each character's personal journey while also introducing new and fascinating characters. Everything fits perfectly together and none of the story felt sacrificed. It is an amazing read and I know Meg is destined for greatness.

This series just keeps getting better and better. This installment is from Chris Merit's POV. He is so conflicted with his love for Sara but needing to prevent her falling into his dark world.

The time has come to come clean as to what his life has been like. The boundaries between pain for pleasure and pain for punishment are there. In his life, pain for punishment is at times an unrelenting force that drives him deeper into this dark world.

I keep wanting to know more about him. As this series developed we have become so intimate with all these characters. Lisa Renee Jones is allowing us to discover a different side to the coin of pleasure and punishment we never envisioned.

This is a well-written, emotional, and highly erotic series that continues to draw me in. Definitely recommended. You must read If I Were You, Being Me, Revealing Us and Rebecca's Journals to enjoy the full impact of this story
