"Using magic means it uses you back, and every spell exacts a price from its user. But some people get out of it by Offloading the cost of magic onto an innocent. Then it’s Allison Beckstrom’s job to identify the spell-caster. Allie would rather live a hand-to-mouth existence than accept the family fortune—and the strings that come with it. . . . "

I don't pimp to my RL friends. They all read mysteries.

I don't have anyone that reads my books. The only other friend that reads is into really hard core Ercotica. I mean hard core stuff. She tries to get me to read a few. And yes, I will admit that I have read a chapter or too.
But it is so repeatitive

I try to pass on as much as I can but it can be like pulling teeth. A friend of mine has had the Ilona Andrews Magic series for ages and I'm now concerned I won't get them back to do a re-read before the next release. Also she has started acting like she's doing me a favour! Next time I think I might wait until she begs

Begging is good !!

Hard core erotica? Like nipple clamps and butt plugs? And begging?

One of the things I liked about DM's books was the lack of descriptive sex. You're right g-p, it just gets repetitive.

Like Anita Blake repetitive.

Yeah, some of her stuff seems to just be cut and pasted together with different character names added. Really though, how many ways can sex be described?

I felt like I read the words 'feminine sheath' over and over in Christine Feehan's Dark Carpathian series. Still I did keep on reading them :D

I read about 2/3 of those. I can't believe I read that many. I wasn't a very big fan of her characters.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Lemme think on that one

Don't you just love the quote function

It is fun...and I still thinking :idea:

ROFLMAO there are tears rolling down my face after reading your guys posts.

So GP how many ways did you say? Or are you still thinking :D
I'm laughing to hard I can't think straight.

I like that the sex scenes are about the characters and how they relate and feel about each other rather than just the mechanics. I'm half way through Magic At The Gate at the moment.

Hi ladies, I loved Magic at the Gate - it all got so interesting. freud would have a lot of fun with her Daddy issues.

There's still not enough Zay, though, with him still being in a coma and all Although I peeked ahead a little and I know he wakes up shortly, but then it looked like Allie was off to rescue the world. Without him. :P

Well she is pretty kick arse now, but yes I know what you mean - it was zayless a lot

Ooh, I love this email when reply posted thing! Very handy. I'm too tired to do the book justice, so I'm still itching to know what happens next. I'll finish it tomorrow so I'll be all caught up. The next one's out in June, right?

Magic On The Hunt has a release date of April 5th on Amazon, b4v.

I don't know about the quote function. I am soooo remedial.......!

That's okay, I just noticed the big black HOME button that is at the bottom of the posts.

I didn't see that either
Edit to add if you press it it actually deletes your post

Ooo, good thing I didn't press it. :face:

Ooh, april, not too long to wait then. Finished Magic At The Gate. Found this one a little slower to get going, but when it did, wow, it didn't stop! So glad Zay's back on deck, missed him in this book. Lucky we had Shame to fill the gap :D Read the excerpt for Magic On The Hunt and OMG, that one's starting with a bang! Can't wait.
