I just got finished reading Possession which was a really nice break from the Greek mythology I have been trying to stay awake for! lol! I love you Dark Hunters but the shift in gears has been nice especially since J.R. Ward did not disappoint this time and Carol pointed out! We were not too happy with the way the last book ended, even throughout the whole book, I remember it dragging, etc but this book really got things going in the right direction! Sissy got out and is distracting Jim big time! I don't think J.R.Ward will finish this series out without Jim hooking up/falling desperately in love as only Ms. Ward can tell it, with someone and my bet is on Sissy!! In this book, they are living in the scary old masion which towards the end was almost getting reversed in time, getting more and more nice looking, Adrian is still morning Eddie whose body is still in the basement (weird) and who he apparently really loved. Nigel killed himself and so there are only two guards guarding Heaven which is also weakening...I loved Cait and Duke's love story, lots of steam sessions with a great ending but I feel like the book was cut of. I was expecting the next chapter to wrap up or at least give us a glimpse into where Jim was at but nadda. So the ending felt very cut short, I know she was trying to give us a cliff hanger but thought it could have been done better....oh well, guess we have to wait a year! This was a great book that definetly got us all back in the angels game!

Finished Possession The Fallen Angel Series!!!!!!!!
Possessions was a very good book, I zipped right thru it. I was glad to be reading a book by one of my favorite authors JR Ward. She does not disappoint, to be honest I was a little apprehensive about reading it because I did not like the fact that Adrian had all of Mathias handicaps as a result of the last book. But Jim finally gets Sissy from Devina and he does so by trading the win. That was actually the cliffhanger from the last book. It picks up right were the last one left off. I love the characters of Duke and Cailyn. The scenes are steamy in that great JR Ward way. She keeps you on your toes the whole time because you still don't know where the book is headed as you read. The story is interesting and captivating keeps you there but you don't see what it has to do with the soul or who the soul is. Niel commits suicide which is a curb ball because he was the Archangel in charge so we shall see were this ends up. And Jim had a face to face with the "Maker" that seemed to freak him out. Adrian is still holding on to Eddies body which also seems weird to me. Time is explained a little more it has only been 3 weeks since the War started and I thought it had been more like years. Look forward to the next book. Til then keep on reading.

Burned Release Date pushed back :(
Karen Marie Moning, fav author of the Fever Series has delayed the release date to Dani's #2 book, BURNED until January 2015!!! Sucks but apparently the book is really picking up steam. Below find article and its link which also shows what KMM says Roydan looks like!

Release Date, Book Launch Party & Ryodan’s Face
There’ve been rumblings lately—I’m beginning to think you guys are psychic, or perhaps like Dani, you’re sleuthing for clues such as my not announcing the date/place for the launch party—about whether BURNED is really coming out July 22nd, 2014.I’ve got good news and bad news.
The good news: I’m having a blast writing BURNED, similar to how I felt when I was writing SHADOWFEVER, in a semi-fugue state. The characters are alive and on fire, the story is coming out exactly as I’d planned, and with even more intensity than I’d expected. There’s no doubt in my mind you’re going to love it.
The bad news: BURNED’s release date has been pushed back one final time. The new date is January 2015. The precise day is still being decided (right now it’s the 20th but that may change by a week either way) and as soon as we can, we’ll announce the dates and location for the big bash.
More good news: if BURNED had been released July 22, I was not going to be able to do a book launch party. Now I am.
As I’m sure you’ve realized by my not announcing the book launch date, I was concerned it might get moved again. And I’m sure you want to know why.
I took time off.
Why? I needed it. I won’t go into details of my personal life but I will say while I could have kept pushing, short-term gratification doesn’t yield the kind of long term goals I‘m after and sometimes pushing costs more than it yields, so I did what I needed to do: walked away, rested and got recharged.
It wasn’t an easy decision to make. I love to write. I miss the interaction with you guys when I don’t. I get paid when I write. But I will always put the quality of my writing, and of my life over my bank account. I won’t put out a book that doesn’t meet my standards
I’m back and beyond excited to take you deeper into the Fever world in all the ways you want. BURNED is sexier, has more points of view, including one of the Nine (and not just a few snippets) and is all around hotter in every way, as you’d expect from the title.
A final bit of good news: I’ve never given you a good verbal ‘look’ at Ryodan. Many of you have written to tell me that Stuart Reardon (beautiful man and terrific athlete!) is your vision of Ryodan and I’ve promoted him for you, although I’ve always considered him one of my other immortal badasses.
But I’ve never shared my personal vision of the mysterious, sexy owner of Chester's nightclub (where the privileged few get to visit level 4!) because I didn’t feel I could adequately convey what I see when I close my eyes and begin to structure one of his scenes.
Then I stumbled across Anthony James Hill and was stunned to find the match to the face I’ve been seeing in my head for years. Those eyes, that mouth…
This is my Ryodan, photographed by the fabulous Michael Stokes Photography and Gilles Crofta.
Drop by Anthony James Hill's page and welcome him to the Fever World!
As for BURNED, I’m truly sorry I couldn’t bring it to you faster. If I could have, I would. I can only tell you I think you’re going to find it absolutely worth the wait.
Stay to the lights,
Karen
