Amy Denim (amydemin) | 33 comments I decided to work my way through Maya Banks KGI series this month. I've read the first two and am liking (I totally just wrote licking and had to go back and correct it. Is there a such thing as a Freudian slip in typing?) the hunky men and their intense love stories. Can't wait to read the rest. Here's what I've got left. (Just cause I want to share pretty, yummy covers with you all!)
Hidden Away (KGI, #3) by Maya Banks Whispers in the Dark (KGI, #4) by Maya Banks Echoes at Dawn (KGI, #5) by Maya Banks
Looks like there is going to be an in between short story sometime before the end of the year
Softly at Sunrise (KGI, #5.5) by Maya Banks
But the next one doesn't come out until 2013. (I hate waiting...)
Shades of Gray (KGI, #6) by Maya Banks
Ha ha! Look at the name! LOL. Can't wait for that one to come out.
Has anyone else read this series?

I'm slowly making my way through these books in audio :) I've read all of them, but it was a couple of years ago - I'm really enjoying my visit back to Harmony. It's definitely my favourite series by Krentz.

message 40: by Ann aka Iftcan (last edited Aug 13, 2012 06:35PM) (new)

Ann aka Iftcan (iftcan) For some reason I've been hit with an urge to re-read the Broken Heart, Oklahoma vampire series. A LOT of humour in this series, as well as some very strange vamp powers. But I enjoy the series and, well it had been a while since I read it, so I thought "why not re-read it" so I am. :o)

PS This was inspired by this month's Challenge to read a book either set in OK or written by someone from there. And, guess what--these fit BOTH suggestions, since the author also live in OK.


message 41: by Patrice (new)

Patrice (njbooklover) I saw an interesting book in our local library by an author that I like, Mary Balogh, and was going to take it out when I realized it was part of a series, so naturally I put it back and searched for the first book in the series. Now I am reading "First Comes Marriage" in the Huxtable Quartet.

First Comes Marriage (Huxtable Quintet, #1) by Mary Balogh

This is Vanessa's story. I am enjoying it immensely.
