I’ve been trying to find the Shifters series for a while now. I read them all a few months ago and was suprised by how much I came to love them. They’re almost impossible to find in store, and I’ve been looking. Finally, I found them insanely cheap second hand though, so now my collection is complete! I read the bound manuscript of All These Things I’ve Done two weeks ago and really got into it, so when I saw it in store, I decided to get myself a finished copy too. I love the covers for the Lisa Mantchev books, I still haven’t started them though. The bottom row are the guy covers. There’s a bit of an angel thing going on there. The guy on the front of Awakened looks disproportioned somehow, I really wish they would have changed the cover. I read the first chapter though and liked what I found. I wasn’t really planning on getting the Fallen books, but they were omnibuses and relatively cheap, plus Paul Wesley starred in the miniseries based on them so I thought why not.
Here are my reviews from the past two weeks:
Hilburn, Lynda Kismet Knight #1, The Vampire Shrink
Stiefvater, Maggie Books Of Faerie #1, Lament
Stiefvater, Maggie Wolves Of Mercy Falls #1, Shiver
Stiefvater, Maggie Wolves Of Mercy Falls #2, Linger
Stiefvater, Maggie Wolves Of Mercy Falls #3, Forever
Link up to your mailbox and I’ll be sure to check it out!

I actually got Spellbound from Netgalley but never got around to reading it… so I can’t wait to see what you think!
And YES… Blood Bound is SO small lol. I have another series like that, that is very small. Feed & Deadline by: Mira Grant. But FEED was amazing… so good things come in little packages I hope! π
Also, I’ve always wanted to read the fallen series as well!
Enjoy all your books! π
Ooh! You have Perchance To Dream! I just got Eyes Like Stars, I’m wondering if it’s good.
Anyway, love the covers of Rachel Vincent’s books.
Happy Reading!
Here’s mine: The Blair Book Project IMM
Great IMM! I loved Spellbound & the Theatre Illuminata series. I hope you enjoy your new books! π
Great IMM for this week. Rachel Vincent’s Shifter series were the ones to get me into the Urban Fantasy/Paranormal genre so hope you enjoy them.
Just finished reading All These Things I’ve Done. I loved it but Chocolate being illegal??? Holy cow!
Happy Reading. See ya Saturday!
Can anyone please help me locate the “Shift” book (#5 in the Rachel Vincent Shifters Series) with the above seen cover? I have all the other books but I just need that one to finish my collection and unfortunately I won’t buy a book that doesn’t have the same cover as the rest of the book. Thank you
I know what you mean. I only wanted these covers when I was buying mine. I found these four on ebay by some miracle, and the other two I came across sitting lonely on a shelf at Target in Brisbane.
I just grabbed out my copy and searched the ISBN for you. It looks like QBD can order it in for you. Here’s a link: https://www.qbd.com.au/product/9781921793448
