First off I love the cover of this book. It is so pretty. I did enjoy this one quiet a lot.. But... I feel like it was missing something, I wanted more from it. I enjoyed the whole concept and setting, a beautiful place was created. I wanted it explored more.
The characters were interesting. But none of them really stood out to me. I feel like we didn't get to know them all that well. There was one character I was interested in but he got killed off quiet early in the story so that bummed me out. And it also seemed that no one in the story cared he died so that made me sad. I wanted to enjoy the characters more but they just didn't jump out at me.
Isabel is such a strong kick ass character but at the same time she is struggling to figure out who or what she is. This made it hard to connect or even understand her some of the times. I think there is more to story that could be told. I feel it is just the beginning and it could get really good from here. There is a hint of romance but not really and that is one thing that I think could have helped me connect a bit more with the characters and the story.
Don't get me wrong I did enjoy the book and I think you should read it. ...more

It read a lot similar to Armstrong's adult series Women of the otherworld (which I absolutely love) . The Gathering is filled with mystery, romance and amazing characters. I could not read it fast enough.
Kelley Armstrong can do no wrong. I just want more. I can not wait until the next one comes out later in the year. ...more

Wow, another great book in the Shifters series. So much happened in this one. I can't really say much cause it would give away spoilers. I think the sWow, another great book in the Shifters series. So much happened in this one. I can't really say much cause it would give away spoilers. I think the series is getting better. Faythe has grown and developed into a better character. She still seems to get into bad situations though. I like where the story is going and how it is unfolding. ...more

This book is filled with strong well written characters and amazing world building. At times I had trouble getting into it only because I had to stop and start it so much with work. I think it would be a book best read in one or two sittings. I really enjoyed the magic that took place in the story. And the cover art, I just love it. ...more
**spoiler alert** February 2020: A great re read! I am excited to read this series again.

October 2011: When I started reading Stray I kept thinking why Werecats? I had a hard time imagining it all and I couldn't think of cats as being at all tough. Werewolves are so much better. So in my head I kinda made them werewolves. It wasn't hard to do as the way the Pack was run and structured just reminded me so much of other werewolf books I have read. It actually reminded me a lot of Kelley Armstrong's novel Bitten (One of my favourite books). But saying this doesn't mean anything bad. It is just a quirk I had in the beginning of reading it.
I did enjoyed this one. The story flowed and developed at a great pace. Nothing felt rushed. It is action packed and filled with many fun characters that I hope we get to know more about in the books to come. Faythe is not the greatest lead character. At times I found her a little immature. But I can see and hope that she will develop and grow as the series continues.
Overall I think that it is a great first book in a series. I wonder what will be in store for Faythe in the next few books....more

I like the universe that has been created. It is fun that there are so many types of others, Werewolves, Vampires, Centaurs, Pookas and more. The story moved along at a great pace and I think it had great character building. But I just felt that certain things were rushed and I found the story telling a little choppy at times. ...more

Soulless is very different from what I usually read. I am not used to the Victorian period. I found it refreshing, funny and smart. I liked the concept of a preternatural, I found it very unique. The character interaction between Alexia and Lord Maccon was fantastic. I found myself chuckling at the two of them bantering at each other. It was very interesting and entertaining how their romance developed. At times I just felt a bit lost and I felt that the story was moving too slow. I am not sure If I will read anymore in the series. But it was a fun different read....more

After reading the first Mercedes Thompson Book "Moon Called" I thought I would never read any more books in the series. I didn't get into the world, I think I rated it 1 star.
But I was given Blood Bound to read by one of my work buddies, so I thought I would give it a try. I am glad I did. I really enjoyed this one. There was not as many info dumps as in the first one. And I found that the characters had a lot more conflict and emotions with each other. I liked where the story went and how Mercedes kinda became a (view spoiler)[ Vampire hunter! (hide spoiler)]
I do want to continue the series and see where it goes for Mercedes. ...more
I so far have not finished this book and I am not sure If I will. I am sad because I really enjoyed the beginning of the book and I liked where it wasI so far have not finished this book and I am not sure If I will. I am sad because I really enjoyed the beginning of the book and I liked where it was going but I feel like it hasn't really gone anywhere since. I keep waiting for the story to begin. I feel that there is a lot to take in all at once. With all the explanations of the different types of supernaturals, werewolves, the faires, the vampires and whatever she is. I am not sure. And after all the explanations not much has really happened. I do want to finish it because it may get better. But I keep putting it down to read other books.
So I did pick it up and finish it. It was ok. Before I finished it I knew that I would not read any more of the series. But the ending made me want to know more. So I might pick up the next one. ...more

I read most of it in one day. I just had to know what was going to happen. I loved all of the characters and the setting was amazing. I think it will be a great film. One I am definitely going to see. The ending is where it went wrong. It felt rushed and unresolved. But I still really enjoyed it. ...more
