Helpful Score: 6
I wasn't planning on liking this series. Hell, I had gotten the first book in the series off of paperbackswap.com and I found that I really didn't care for it, so back up on the swap it went.
Then, one of my favorite authors was holding a contest on her LJ to win an extra copy of the second book in the series, that she picked up by mistake. I entered. I figured that if I still hated it, then I could always trade the book away to a good home, and besides, I like the author who was running the contest, so she should have good taste, right?
Book gets here, I leave it mouldering for about a week, then last night I pick it up to read before I go to bed. It's just okay, I keep drawing comparisons to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward, and finding this series lacking, but it's good enough that I read until I can't keep my eyes open anymore.
Then, I wake up an hour early to get some reading in before I go to work. I then take another half an hour from my morning prep to finish the damn book. I put the rest of the series up on my wishlist on paperback swap and get cranky because there are 50+ people in front of me for each book.
All day at work, I'm thinking about how I don't have anything new to read for when I'm dragged up to Maine for a family wedding, and how buying a few books would be a good idea.
Then, to cinch the deal, Amazon.com was running a 4-3 offer. *sigh*
Oh, hell. Lara Adrian's books managed to suck me in. DAMN YOU FOR WRITING FAIRLY DECENT ANGST.
