Review: Rogue Oracle, 2nd of the series, brings Tara and Harry back together after an abscence of several months.It is up to Tara and Harry to figure out what is going on and what has happened to all the missing ex-agents.
Great story, scary monster, all told by a tarot wielding oracle. Will certainly keep reading this one.

Review:I was hoping more from this book. I loved the first one from this series, but this was just too much drama and i really didnt get it. It was so artificial. I hope the next book is better.

Review: This series is my new favorite series to read. I liked that the second book was as strong as the first one and was able to kept my interest. It had demons, vampires and witches in it, plus serial killer who kills witches and strong minded Rachel, who was having one dangerous adventure find out who the serial killer was.

Review: I love Mac, she is a gily girl, but the same time she kick ass if needed. But sometimes she needs saving and then comes in mystical Jericho Barrons, who saves the day. In this book she need quite a lot of saving and not always she gets saved by Barrons :P

Review:The second book from this series is more in dark tones, then the first one. Clara is having new visions that gives her a heartache. She also is having love problems with Tucker, but that was something you can see right away. So it was like drama, drama, drama...

Rating: *****

Review: wow, wow, wow...If the first one was good then the second book is just amazing. Phèdre is getting in serious trouble in her search of traitors, mostly because she finds what she is looking for. I like that in the book there are situations where you think how will she get out of this one and next thing you know she is out of the bad situation.

Review: "Ribirth" is the second book of a series. I liked the second book more then the first even if it was a little dark. Its one of my favorite zombie books. Mostly because theres not only about killing zombis or getting away from them, but theres love and friendship. All that makes it a amazing book.

Review: The book takes place in a small town where everyone knows everyone. When Allie McCormick (cold-case detective) moves back to home she starts looking in to Reverend Lee Barker disappearing 19 years ago. Everyone in town think that Clay Montgomery is some how connected to his disappearance. The town's people are out to get him, but Allie thinks he is not guilty and wants to prove that Clay is not to be blamed of Reverend Lee Barker's disappearance.

Of course you can join Lady Jaye :)Welcome everyone to our new Book 2 challenge. Modelled almost exactly on our Book 1 challenge. :D
I'm kinda surprised you didn't make us read Book #2 that follows Book #1 from the previous month.....I could see you being all sneaky like that.Actually, I'm thinking of reading #1 and #2 of the same series each month. Providing I actually HAVE both books at the time....
That's a good way to do it, provided you like book #1 :)

Review: I loved it even more than the first one! I was sad when I couldn't buy it but it became available to review through the website I review for and I jumped at the opportunity to read it. I'm so glad I did! I really really liked the heroine, Rachel. She is fantastic! Azazel didn't disappoint me either!

Review: Tiago is sent to protect Tricks as she takes the Dark Fae throne. This is their story.
I am very sad to say I did not like this one. I actively disliked the hero and did not care much for the heroine. Nor was the plot very engaging for me. Ms. Harrison's fun writing style is what saved the book for me. I will continue with it because the there are still characters whose stories I want to know.
You read it already, Lady J! Man-oh-man! I'm just getting started.
Lisa Kay: I stayed up all night to read it :(. Let me know what you think.
That's great to hear, Sarah! I've got both #1-2 TBR. Ah, bummer, Lady Jaye. I just bought the eBook b/c I loved #1 so much. I'll post here once I've read it.
Sorry to hear that Lady J, I'm looking forward to it regardless. LOL.

SightReadHave you had that #2 book on your TBR pile for a while? Read and enjoyed the 1st book in a series and just never got to the 2nd one? Now is the time to dust them off and decide whether to keep reading that series or move on to something better.
Duration: August 1, 2011 to July 31, 2012
*Read 12 books that are the second novel in a series.
*Read one book per calendar month (that means, can't read and count 3 new ones in ONE month...)
*Make a MAIN post. This is for your full year list. Please UPDATE this list, not re-post it! Thanks! (links to each Participants' MAIN Lists below).
*Every month post your Monthly Updates (new posts, please!) on your great/not-so-great "second" read.
*"Half numbers" (i.e. 1.5 by GR numbering) and anthologies are not allowed; they're just appetizers, not the "second course"!
**Examples are posted below!
