I have yet to figure out a way to keep up with this properly, I apologize. Not having consistent time for myself makes regular updates hard.

I noticed I left a couple books off my last update, so I'll start with those.

ExpandHaunted & Wicked by Liz Gavin ) First of all, this is absolutely NOT a reverse harem. However, it was an interesting story. I can't remember exact feelings any more, but I feel it lacked a little something and I'm not sure why the house had to be a sex club in order for the two characters to meet. It does set up nicely for a sequel, though I'm not sure that I'm invested enough to read it.

ExpandSnow by Plum Pascal ) Now this one is 100% reverse harem. Again, I don't know why the need for the strip club. The story was actually really good, an interesting twist on the fairy tale. Seven dragons instead of dwarves, evil queen has an evil boyfriend, there's a war... this one may actually need to go on my list to find the rest of the series.

And now the more recent list (though "recent" is a relative term...)

eBooks:
ExpandDepravity by MJ Haag ) I have mixed feelings on this one. I feel it would have been a better story with all of the sex taken out. All the sex in the book was negative and non-con/dubious-con. It didn't sit well with me. But I liked that it called back to earlier versions where Beauty has sisters and we get to see her home life and understand why she makes her decisions.

ExpandSeduction Games by Allyson Lindt ) I'm not sure I liked this one either. I really don't even have anything to say about it. The story was random and there wasn't really any effort put into getting to know the characters.

Paperbacks:
Expand206 Bones by Kathy Reichs ) I didn't realize this was book 12(??!) in the series when I bought it or as I was reading it. I enjoyed the tv series, so I thought I'd try the books. I was surprised to find the character names are not the same at all (except for the main character) and that the main character has a family. But the book was enjoyable and I wouldn't mind reading others in the series.

ExpandThe Rope by Nevada Barr ) This was a good read. Lots of twists. Get ready for one near death experience after another though. This woman goes through a LOT.

ExpandCity of Bones by Michael Connelly )This is another one that has the main character go through some things. Though these are mostly emotional. I really enjoyed this book, though I wasn't happy with the resolution for the case in the story. There just wasn't enough evidence for me and just seemed to back track on the character.

And I'm currently reading ExpandThe Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini )I've been warned I'll need tissues and at only 19 pages in, I can already feel it's a heavy story.
