My least favorite of the series  so far.

This has been reviewed enough. I'll just say that overall I love this series, but unfortunately I'm kinda disappointed in Reaper's Stand. It was just "okay," in my opinion. Joanna Wylde has proven herself to be a great author, especially of MC romance books, but this felt a little choppy to me, and it has over the top drama that's just a bit too annoying/much for my liking. (*What London was planning/attempting to do in regards to Reese... well that was downright ridiculous and almost ruined the story for me.) Oh well... can't win them all. :) Anyway, I'm still looking forward to the next installment. This book hasn't made me any less of a Reapers MC fan. Just a little bit of a wary one now. Hopefully though, the next one gets back on track! I have faith that it will. :)

Not as good as previous three books in series.  Slow read

Ok, I'll admit this is by far my least favorite book in the series so far. Emma's up to her usual antics, but this time there's pretty much no consequence for her lying and misbehaving. The book is set in Maine, where the family goes every summer. Emma's upset that she has to leave the ferrets behind, so at the last minute she sneaks Marmaduke into her bag. Hilarity ensues (at first) as of course she gets busted by Annie. Unfortunately, she manages to not confess to her parents that she's hidden Marmaduke until the end. I was disappointed that Annie doesn't say anything either. She's supposed to be the responsible adult but allowing one of her charges to lie and sneak around the parents isn't proper. When Emma is found out, there's pretty much no punishment so she doesn't really learn anything.

The minor plot involves a new neighbor who considers his view more important than dozens of old growth trees. I did admire Emma's determination in trying to save 'her' tree although it kind of just fizzled out. Her parents tell her that it's his property and after the neighbor gives her a new tree, he's a pretty ok kinda guy. Meh. Anyway, this is a fairly fast read and may appeal to younger or reluctant readers.

This was my least favorite book in the series. I feel like the book was rushed. It's like she had so many things she needed to get in the book that it all came across with a rushed feeling.

The end of the third book left you wondering what would happen between Bella and Jacob. The forth book, in my opinion, acts as if the kiss between the two of them in the 3rd book never happened. She goes right back to Edward and there's no conflict in her mind on who she wants to be with. Again, I feel like she was trying to rush through it and make sure it was the last book in the series so Bella went to Edward without a second thought.

Don't get me wrong, I love Edward and I wanted them to be together. I just feel the fourth book did no justice to her feelings for Jacob.

Too many things happened in this book. It would have been much better to divide this up in one to two more books and not make everything seem so rushed.

Not my favorite in the series so far. It just got a little too far out there for me. I struggled to get through this one.

I would have to definitely say that this book is the worst of the three. The only reason why I completed it is because I was very interested in knowing how it ended. I was tempted often to just skip to the end to find out what happened but I did complete the book and I was disappointed in this one. Although I enjoyed the series as a whole because the first two books were fantastic, I feel this book should have been better.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series is one of my guilty pleasures. Sadly, this installment did not measure up to many of the others. The Bitty storyline was predictable and slow. Plus, this is the second book in a row where there is too much tenderness for these characters. These are not warm, fuzzy stories and I don't enjoy it when the author tries to make these warriors, immortals, vampires, ghosts, and other fantastical beasts deal with regular human-like issues. That is not why I read these novels. Im hopeful that the next book will bring Marisol back and then I would really love for this series to end.

This is the 4th book in the Signs of the Zodiac series by Vicki Pettersson. It was my least favorite book in the series so far. Joanna is confused and is running around not accomplishing a whole lot for most of the book.

Joanna broke her changeling in the last book and because of that the Manuals of Light can't be written and the Light agents have lost all their safe zones. Needless to say the Agents of Light are in serious trouble. Warren tells Joanna that she better fix it ASAP and hints that Joanna will find her answers in Midland and that she should find the new tulpa (her doppelganger from the last book).

First for the good stuff. It was cool to learn more about Midland. It was also nice to have the doppelganger involved more. A lot of the plot elements relating to how the changelings affect the Agents' powers were really interesting.

Joanna screws up a lot in this book. Those who thought she was changing as a character in the third book will be disappointed. Even worse is the fact that many of the Agents of Light are not what they appear to be. By the end of the book I felt like there were no Agents of Light. I thought many of the characters acted very out of character; there weren't really any characters that I liked by the end of the book. The deal with Joanna and Hunter was kind of whacked; I can't say more without revealing spoilers. Also I thought it was odd how Joanna is trying to convincingly play Olivia's lifestyle in the beginning of the book but then she (kind of) forgets about being Olivia. There were some small parts where she has to "act like" Olivia; but there aren't really any repercussions for her walking out on the bachelorette party in the beginning or of her doing any other un-Olivia actions. There is one spoiler I need to address cause it irritated the heck out of me so...

SPOILER START-------------------------------------------
What was with the amount of time spent on Joanna losing pieces of her soul and powers? It seemed like it was going to play a really important part in the story; like getting her powers back was going to be a major plot point. Then at the end of the book she looses all of her powers. Well then what was the point of angsting over some small power loss. The only thing I can think of is that now she can go and get the lost power back or something like that. The way the book ended really made me wonder if this is the last book in the series.

Okay, I need to comment about Hunter and Warren too. Hunter was such a sincere character, what was the point of having him do a complete 180? Also what was the point of Warren aiding this whole twisted set-up?
SPOILER END----------------------------------------------

So overall I though the book was okay. Some of the plot line was interesting and the plot definitely twists and turns enough to keep your mind engaged (or at times just plan confused). The characters don't really act like themselves and the bizarre end to the book leaves you wondering if there will be anymore books in the series. Kind of a disappointing book but still kept my interest.

This does not seem to have the usual wit and charm that I have come to expect out of this series.

This book is alright but it is definitely the worst in the series.

I am a huge fan of this series, but this book is a disappointment all around.  Definitely the worst in the series.  I debated between 1 and 2 stars but gave it 2 to not hurt the series as a whole.  This is especially sad because I liked Sean a lot.  Sean is Luke's playful, spontaneous, fun-loving brother and his interactions with Shelby made the previous book a lot of fun.

Plot Summary:  Prior to the book, roughly  6 years ago, Sean and Franci dated.  He told her he never wanted to get married to her or have kids so 4 years ago they broke up.  Franci was pregnant with his kid but never told him.  Now at the beginning of the book, he coincidentally bumps into her at a bar and wants to pick up where they left off.  She does not feel the same, so he stalks her.  He finds out where she lives, calls clinics to find out if she works there, finds her in a grocery store and attacks her.  He is arrested.  He then follows Franci home when she's on a date.  This works on her and she invites him in to spend the night.  The next morning her daughter Rosie barrels in and Sean learns about his 3  year old daughter.  Sean spends a day rather freaked out, another on paperwork to put Rosie in his will and life insurance, and promptly moves in and begins to co-parent.  Franci breaks up with the guy she's been seeing, a controlling cheating jerk.  The only good part about the plot is there is a sideline.  Maureen, the Riordan mom, comes up to meet the new grandchild.  She has some rather good conversations with Viv, the grandma who has helped raise Rosie, about the difficulties and trying not to step on her toes.  Also she and George become serious and discuss buying an RV and spending 6 months traveling to the Grand Canyon.

Franci is a character with no description at all, making her totally unlikable.  We are told she is former air force, a helicopter nurse and a good mom, but we see nothing of this.  She has no interactions with anyone.  Her only interest is working out at the gym.  In short, other than having a great body, we have no idea what Sean sees in her.

TJ is an arrogant, abusive, controlling, domineering cheater.  All in all, a Disney villain with no redeeming qualities.  This only serves to make Franci look bad as she dated him.

Sean has a total personality transplant.  He no longer is fun-loving, with witty banter and an engaging smile but awkward and forceful.  He and Franci have no problems at all with getting over the past or with his sudden move in to her house.  He is the perfect co-parent.  Now as the child is only 3, I didn't expect her to have issues with the new man in Mom's life but I did expect Mom to have some issues, or at the least, not agree.  Sean has 2 months of leave but doesn't find Franci until 4 weeks left.  By the end of two weeks, he proposes.  This is hard to swallow as well.  I mean they haven't spoken in 4 years--double their relationship--but don't require any getting to know you time or conversation.  Franci said she feared Sean would propose because of the child, but within 2 weeks he does just that but it no longer bothers her.  Sean's proposal at the end of the book is one step from the infamous "crap or get off the pot".  It may be the worst written proposal of all time, across all literature.

This is the first couple where they have no love between them and no problems to work through.  No conflict, despite him instantly moving in and co-parenting.  Therefore the book has no climax and every page left me wondering how many pages I had left and if it could drag on any longer.  As a series, Virgin River isn't big on sex scenes but these two don't even have chemistry.

This was a very hard read, a struggle to the end.  Luckily the next book is about Aidan and should be a lot better.

This is my least favorite book of the series.  I didn't care much for the movie either.  I also didn't really see how it would tie in to the series until the end.  Many people would probably disagree with me though.

Not my favorite of the series. The pace is a bit slow and the new characters are all pretty unlikable--annoying, even. Milo makes a brief appearance by phone, and made me realize how much I enjoy his interactions with Alex. This book takes Alex and his main squeeze to a completely different setting and I didn't really care for it. The writing is of the usual good quality, I just didn't like the plot, setting, or "villains". Only after rereading a newly purchased copy did I remember why I gave away my original copy--wasn't one I thought I'd reread.

Not my favorite in the series...the heroine was a bit whiny and over dramatic, and the heroes were even more dramatic than her. I liked that the authors updated you on a previous heroine's (Piper) story, but other than that I felt the story was way to predictable and dragged on.

I really like the first two books in the series. This one just felt forced. Its also a lot darker than the other two books.
3904233
I didn't like this one as much as the others..there was not much new character development and nothing really seemed to move forward.  Disappointing, but I'll keep reading to see if it picks up again.  I had really liked the series to this book and this one just fell flat.

I was disappointed in this book. I've read the other 5 and some I like more than others, but this one is my least favorite.
