Ooo... Revenant, if you get to that, I think you'll enjoy a lot.

Imp isn't really a good introduction to the series though it is fun to go back too once you start the series. Don't know how it will be as a first.

Vannessa | 24 comments I have loved all the other Lords of Deliverance/Demonica books and I know this one will not disappoint.

I haven't read any of the Imp series but keep hearing how good it is. Only picked that book because of the cover. Having a kindle takes me ages to find books with certain colours LOL

Ha, we have the same series for brown/read cover. I'm rereading as a series read along. Imp quickly became one of my favorite UF series but the humor and antihero female protagonist isn't for everyone. The humor is right up my alley and I love how Sam grows.

I've read through the whole series and now am trying to get to all the spin offs though I've pretty much stopped half-breed. Doesn't have the humor that I want. Unluckily the whispersync price on the series was raised from $2 to $7.50 with the new Amazon pricing plan. The Kindle books are all reasonably priced on Amazon though, most at $4. Since the regular price with Audible membership is $7.50, there is no savings for buying both.

Accidental Sire was fun and they both have to learn about their new vampireness.

Changing my fall cover pick to Black Arts from Angel of Chaos as I don't think my group is read to read it yet. Ok, moving Black Arts to support character being a kid. Molly's daughter plays a main support characters.

I got my last one. Have to say, all of these were really good except for Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic. I just didn't like that one in any way.

That is pretty good. Really it was a bit of a fudge for me for the school setting as it was a very small setting not the whole book. And both of mine were college.

Jane's goddaughter was a pretty prominent character but definitely was the main two or 3.
