Karina Halle Addict's Support Group discussion

This thread is intended for Karina Halle addicts to give other addicts a fix in between KH books. Have at it!

If anyone hasn't read this: . Tiffanie DeBartolo and Karina's narrative and style have some similarities. One of the things I love about Karina's books are her music selections. Something I usually frown on books unless the author's tastes closely mirrors mine :)

I love that book so much! Have you read God-Shaped Hole by Tiffanie Debartolo?

Not yet, I'm slating it for next month probably :) Paul <3
I'm excited to see other people's recs for a Karina Halle addict. Her style is so distinctive I don't think I've seen any other author who writes like her (save for TdB)

Jenn Cooksey also has a very distinctive writing style. Her sharp wit and love for music and pop culture is remnicisent of Karina. I loved her mature YA series, Grab Your Pole series.

Noice. Adding :)

I would highly recommend Painted Faces by L.H. Cosway. The male love interest is a straight drag queen. Fred & Viv is one of my favorite couples. This book is definitely a favorite of mine.
Here is my 4.5 review: http://bit.ly/11277Z0

I loved Painted Faces as well..so different then anything I've read.

I SO SECOND THAT!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES..

Painted faces was terrific. Highly recommend that one. Another good one is please don't stop the music by jane lovering. That one is also very different.

Hi everyone! My most recent favourite has to be . The entire book is from the hero's POV and his snarkiness reminds me a lot of Dex.

As for all time faves, is definitely among them. I ship that book so hard! If you haven't read I'd suggest that too and then reread HtKaRS. There are epic revelations you'll discover :)

I am also obsessed with the entire series. This is more urban fantasy than romance but the sexual tension and witty dialogue between the main characters were off the charts. If you're into alpha males then I don't think you'd find anyone who'll top Jericho Barrons. Karina is a fan of this series too, I believe. I think there is a Shadowfever influence in one scene in Into the Hollow.

I also read a ton of Kristen Ashley she's one of those love her or hate her types. My favourite of hers would be .

Other faves the come to mind right now are , series, and the trilogy.

For YA,
is the book I recommend to everyone. I love anything by Melina Marchetta, but most notably .

I'll definitely check out soon. Thanks for the reco! :)

So many great recs, Kim! I'll be reading Tangled and In the Stillness soon. And I really want to read the Bronze Horseman series. Thanks for the recommendations!

You're welcome! :) Tangled is a hoot! I have yet to read a negative review. Enjoy!

Ah because I alwayspimp this in reflex . Dante is YA Dex, minus rapist facial hair.

I will never look at a bearded and moustached man again without thinking "rapist facial hair." Adding this to my tbr pile now. Thanks for the reco!

Kim you have to tell me how much you love Dante after. I'm being presumptuous but I haven't had an unsatisfied erm, 'customer' from this book :)

And no I'm not Victoria Scott's sock puppet account :p

Lol. I can't resist a cocky hero, but some YA guys just aren't convincing. I'm in the mood for some snarky and sarcastic male narrator right now though, after having just finished Tangled. I think I'll read this next.

Yay! I can haz be your friend now :p

I'll be stalking you and your shelves! :)

For those of you who loved and want to know what happened to our beloved characters, there is an awesome interview of Tiffanie D., (view spoiler)[PAUL and Eliza (hide spoiler)] over at Totally Booked Blog.

Thanks Kim! :p

You're welcome! :)

Okay you crazy people you! If you haven't pre-ordered Dirty Angels yet, you better hop to it!!! Still 99 cents and believe me, it is freaking worth it!! I read an ARC (and still will purchase the ebook)of it and it ROCKED!!!! You'll be so surprised at how you feel about a "certain" character! You may want a good background for it, so if you haven't read The Artist's Trilogy, you'd best do that, too.

This has been a Public Service Announcement from a Karina Halle fan!! :D <3

Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is pretty awesome and her writing has that same witty edginess that we love in Karina's books. She writes paranormal and contemporary romance.
