Joanne (shuangs) | 128 comments Just got the pre-order book of Darkening Skies today and have read it in one setting in one day. Have anyone read this series before? the first book As Darkness Falls got my attention some years ago. Then i also read Dark Country a while ago. I remember i gave both books quite a high rating, somewhere around 4.5*. However, i'm quite disappointing with the current book. I found that, there is lack of something in this book.
Just wondering, anyone else read this series, and what you think about the series?
I do understand that it is not Parry's intentin to tied it together as a series or such, but it is, however, a sort of losely link together series.

happy reading :)

I absolutely love Bronwyn Parrys writing Joanne...I've been invited to the launch of Darkening Skies this weekend, but we're unable to go:( I haven't been able to buy it yet, but SOON!!! They are a loosely linked trilogy, but on the other hand, they could definitely be read as stand-alone.

Jess (jessiquie) Oh no. I'm very much looking forward to reading the new book. It was meant to be released yesterday, and I'm going to find it when I go shopping later on today or tomorrow.

I've quite enjoyed all of Bronwyn Parry's work to date. Did you read her sort story 'Dear Ruth'?


message 4: by Joanne (new)

Joanne (shuangs) | 128 comments Haven't read 'Dear Ruth' just yet. But i've read all of her novels. Bronwyn Parry is quick a good Aussie writer. As i said, for some reason, the latest installment just, does not catch me that much as previous work. Maybe i got grater expectation for it than what it delivers.
I can't put my finger as to what it lack of in that novel. Not the matter of the romance or sex, more so, i don't know. Maybe just me looking for more from it. :)

I picked up Darkening Skies this morning...can't wait to read it! I also enjoyed Dear Ruth, even though it is very short, it's very sweet as well. A straight romance:)

Joanne (shuangs) | 128 comments Branda, Happy reading Darkening Skies i'm waiting for your take on it. I've also read Dead Heat early this year. It is quite a good book. :)

No problems, you'll see my review when I read it Joanne:)

Sonya Heaney I love this series, but haven't had a chance to get to the latest book yet. I remember reading Dark Country (Dungirri, #2) by Bronwyn Parry - the second book - before the first (whoops) while flying to New Zealand back in 2009! It seems like we've been waiting forever for the newest book!

Dead Heat was nominated for a RITA Award, which is the most prestigious (and America-based) award for romantic fiction. From memory, Dark Country also received a RITA nomination, and As Darkness Falls was nominated in the category for new authors.
So, Bronwyn Parry just keeps on receiving major international award nominations!

It was such a delight to meet up with Bronwyn Parry again last night. She enthralled us with her talk, plus we enjoyed a lovely dinner with Bron, Michelle Douglas (whom I met for the first time! What a lovely lady!) and a few other ladies. Lively discussion was had by all and the time flew by!
