Dreamfever (Fever Series #4). I already know that the book is tangential to the story arc, and I'm expecting that. (I hope it's not as offensive as that last church tower scene in the third book.) I wouldn't have bought the book in the more expensive hardback version, but the paperback price is an acceptable cost for finding out how the series spins out.
(P.S. I'll never know how you've stuck by the AB series. I absolutely loved some of the AB characters, but most changed for the worse in her last 4-5 novels.)
Offensive hmmm, I didn't think so. Smoother than the end of 3, definitely.
(chuckle) Ah I'm stubborn. But yes the series is down hill after OB, though the last 2 have been a tas back towards the right way. I have hope. (laughs)

I just downloaded the ebook of Tempest Rising and plan to get started on that this afternoon on my CrackBerry since I think I am the only remaining human who has not purchased a Nook or a Kindle...yet.
I had a hard time choosing where to start since several of y'alls suggestions sounded very good. I have to admit that I chose this one because I like the cover art. (I know, I'm a total dork).
Anyway, I wanted to let you all know how nice everyone over here in Paranormal & Urban Fantasty is. Thanks again for all of your suggestions. I am excited to get down to the business of reading more of these books so I can contribute to the group!
Thanks again!Thanks for the kind words, Sarah – and you're right about the wealth of suggestions, it's amazing. I read a lot but because of this group, I've discovered a ton of other great reads...PaulThanks Sarah, Enjoy your new Genre.. pen21 was my influence in reading Nicole Peelers"Tempest Series"..Then I was brought into "The Fold" by TBear and dainewt,and others.,once they knew I was Ok.. : ) .PGA has been so supportive of all of us..Welcome..and come back and post anytime..We are around somewhere..I have a BellaBlkberry Thats her name..Still on The Fence about a "Nook"..Susan...
So I finally got to read the first Jane True book and loved it! Life has consisted of work and sleep for the past month, but I finally took a much needed weekend off. Started Tempest Rising Friday evening and finished it a couple of hours ago. Just downloaded book # 2 and plan on starting it in a few minutes.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks again for the suggestions!

YES and a hearty thanks Paul for that.![]()
It gets bumped mostly cause there are a few still haveing trouble locating it if it's not highlighted. I don't know why this is, but it is. (shrug)
Kind of the experiance in comunity room, where some Nook newbies still can't manage to understand when we tell them to scroll down to the Nook section lower on the page. The expect a link direct or they can't find it.
Makes me feel very old school cause way back when I joined. I read every single solitary prior post in a board before I'd post there. Wanted to get a feel of the conversations in each before I spoke up. And yes in a few boards it took days to read them all. (shrug) I wanted to look at everything first.
But don't mind me I read instruction manuals too.![]()

as to the short stories hmm Harris, Butcher, Harrison, and Frost all have short stories from their series. But this thread is set up for series, not short story anthologies.

May I add to this discussion? I just published 6 of my SF/vampire fusion ebooks to BN, so I thought I would list them here along with a paranormal detective novel.
The Children of The Dragon series of SF/vampire books is the epic chronicle of the Xosan, living vampires from the planet Antellus who were once human but were transformed by a dragon's blood. They are stories of science fiction, fact and fantasy, myth and history, romance, tragedy and triumph; linked together by the theme of the vampire as hero. Check the list by doing a search under my author name:
Destiny's Forge
To Taste The Dragon's Blood
Red Dragon
The Queen's Marksman
The Black Witch
VIRUS
The 3rd book, NAGRASANTI, is too big to include as a Nook book, so I had to leave it off.
The mystery/paranormal detective novel is titled, The Mystery of Cranewood Manor.
I hope you will take a look and buy the Nook book or visit my site to see the printed books for sale. Thanks.
