Jennifer Estep – Crown of Shards Series Reading Order

By 5 Comments

OUR FELLOW HARDCORE FANTASY ROMANCE LOVERS are so into this series!!

Michele G: So, for my fantasy lovers out there, I just finished Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep. It was soooo good! It’s the first in a new series by her and has a really strong cast of characters. I listened to the audiobook and it was outstanding!

Tessa: Jennifer Estep’s Crown of Shards series? I’m want to say it’s her best series so far, but I’ve only read book one. … so goooooood! …The action is fast-paced. The only slow was waiting for the massacre to start. lol But, all the talk and such beforehand actually matters later, even the minor stuff. I love that nothing was actually wasted. read more

 <— NEW FANTASY SERIES ALERT!!! And I think this could fit a few of our “in the mood for” genre lists!! 😀

Tessa: Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep <— This is the one I got from San Diego and OMG, so goooooood! This has been a hectic week so I’m still not done, but it’s not the book’s fault. The action is fast-paced. The only slow was waiting for the massacre to start. lol But, all the talk and such beforehand actually matters later, even the minor stuff.

MUCH LOVED FANTASY SERIES and the trilogy is now complete!!! Relief if here for so many of my fellow readers that have gone CRAZY for this one!! 😀

Tessa: Shadowspell Academy: The Culling Trials by Shannon Meyer and KF Breene – These two authors together is a dream. The action was fast, the plot held tons of aches, family and friendship come into play… YAY! …it’s addicting and really good.

Robyn: I read book one and it was good.

Tessa: The Culling Trials 2 by KF Breene and Shannon Mayer. These two should work together more often.🙂  The second book did NOT disappoint. read more

Reader Question – The book about the girl in a bar that fights some vamps (and it’s witty)…

By 8 Comments

Nancy is looking for this one (or is it 2)? She’s not sure if she’s mixing two of them up and mashing them together.

She asks:

Hey Maryse!

Need some help! Looking for a book- believe is was para/fan.

I think it begins with the girl in a bar, and she fights some vamps? It’s witty and sarcastic and I think from her fight she attracts some attention – maybe the potential H? I do know she wins the fight and shows a thing or two. It’s not Dorina either.

Could be set in Australia? read more

Reader Question – Looking for paranormal/fantasy books with a strong storyline and a side of romance…

By 21 Comments

Jenna is having other-worldly cravings 😉 and she’s hoping our book crew has some recommendations!

Right off the bat, I know TONS in our crew here will say Anne Bishops “The Others” series (I read #1 and loved it – here’s my 5-STAR review – and I should totally continue devouring them as our crew have).

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

I was hoping you’d help put me out of my book funk misery by asking your readers for some recommendations?!

Books where the storyline is based purely on romance no longer holds interest for me (sob). read more
