Why Haven't I Read This Series? #6: The Mortal Instruments

 

   

Aside from just figuring out that its actually called 'The Mortal Instruments' and not 'Immortal Instruments', *smackshead, I'm literally embarrassed to say I haven't started this series since its birth 5 years ago. I feel even worse knowing the author's currently writing a prequel and spin-off, because that to me shows how late I am if she's already working on other ventures. Hopefully, I'll start City of Bones very soon. Wish me luck!

Why Haven't I Read This Series? #5: Vampire Academy

It seems every single blog I visit has something to do with a Richelle Meade series, whether its the spin-off or my topic at hand, The Vampire Academy series. It's such a shame to be one of very few to not have read this series and I would love to start, now that Richelle's completed it and has moved on to the next.

  

  

Two races of vampires walk our world. One, the Moroi, are alive and wield elemental magical. The other, the Strigoi, are undead and evil--feeding on the innocent to survive. Rose Hathaway--a half-vampire with poor impulse control--is training to be a bodyguard for a Moroi princess. Learning to decapitate and stake is hard enough, but Rose's real danger may lie in an illicit romance with one of her instructors...

Why Haven't I Read This Series? #4: The Hollows

Kim Harrison's Urban Fantasy series has caught my attention on several occasions yet I still manage to let it slip from my brain. Thankfully, I stumbled on book one over by Emily's Crammed Bookshelf and hurriedly added it to my currently reading list so it'll always be in my face.

Why Haven't I Read This Series? #3

Rachel Caine is one of my favorite authors and I really like her Morganville Vampire series, but I never seemed to pay much attention to her other just as exceptional novels. In particular, the Weather Warden series. I need to start this one ASAP!

  

  

  

Joanne Baldwin is a Weather Warden. Usually, all it takes is a wave of her hand to tame the most violent weather. But now, she's trying to outrun another kind of storm: accusations of corruption and murder. So, she's resorting to the very human tactic of running for her life...

Why Haven't I Read This Series? #2: Dark Angel

Eden Maguire is the business. At least when it comes to her Dark Angel series. I just discovered the first book on Goodreads and will be collecting all three released so far. 

Synopsis:

Tania's heart belongs to Orlando. Nothing can rip them apart. Until the seduction begins in a flurry of glamour and magic, music and parties all orchestrated by the mysterious and mesmerising Zoran, an iconic rock star who has retired to a remote ranch in the nearby mountains. And there Tania meets the dark side. Can she resist temptation?  

Why Haven't I Read This Series? #1: Night Huntress

Jeaniene Frost's tantalizing urban fantasy series has caught my attention several times over the years while browsing on Amazon. Why I haven't read this series is beyond reasoning, but one thing is certain, I definitely need to start doing just that.
