Oooh, this series!

Admittedly some bits bore me (generally the history associated with the treasure hunting) but the actual treasure hunting itself? Well, that bits fun. Very Indiana Jones/Lara Croft only with tarot cards. But really, for me, it's Sara and the Magician, and that chemistry they have burning between them. Please tell me that reaches boiling point soon..?

And then that bit at the end. Need book 6!<br/>

Turned out good in the end

The beginning was a bit too boring for my liking. It took too long for the good stuff to start...but when it did, it turned into a decent story and I pretty much devoured it.

I think there's some link between Nikolas and our girl, say mates or something? And I'm intrigued enough to want to read book 2 in the series.

Though there were sections that don't feature in the public consciousness a much as others (mainly due I suppose to how much they feature in the 1939 classic movie adaptation.) this book was precisely what I was expecting and hoping it would be, wonderfully whimsical with a dash of the macabre. Now I'm more excited than ever to continue through the 13 other books in L Frank Baum's Oz series!

Tahereh never disappoints! I felt so much throughout this whole book: anger, sadness, disbelief, disgust, hatred, love, happiness... It was definitely information overload and I was surprised at how everything fit together, despite being given to us in pieces. Reading Defy Me makes me want to start the series over, I can never get enough of Warner and Juliette (and yes, that's how I still think of them!)

I loved the first book in the series but I have to admit I struggled with this. Maybe it's because it's been almost a year since I read Charade and I don't remember Adrian or maybe it's just the plot line of this. I don't know, but I didn't like it as much.

It seemed a little repetitive at times too with Adrian's pain and Delaney's guilt brought up often.

I'm not the biggest fan of fantasy but I liked this. Having watched the film a while back and enjoying it, I thought I'd try the book. I don't remember a lot of the film but I know they didn't always run along the same lines but nevertheless I liked both.

I'm not sure if I'll be reading more books in the series and that's mainly down to my reading tastes.

This is my first Dark Hunter and Sherrilyn Kenyon book and all I can say is: Why has it taken me so long?!?! This was amazing! The mix of witty banter, sexy scenes and action had me hooked from the first few chapters. I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to be handcuffed to Kyrian??

I will be keeping my eyes open for more books from the author and this series!

This book is a massive collection of the run of 'The Captain' series. It's one of my favorite runs. Steve Rogers, fka Captain America, can no longer use his shield because it's property of the gov. the mantle is taken up by John Walker.
I believe they may use some of this run in the new The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which would be great, because it's a solid story.
