I want to kick it because I wanted Marie-Terese’s book. And you are right ‘she’ isn’t there, it is a pod person. And I am sorry that isn’t a ‘romance’ novel. The publisher was right with labeling it a novel. So it didn’t help I kept hearing this was Ward’s return to romance. BAH Yes there is a ‘romance’ in the novel but this isn’t at all a romance novel or even a paranormal romance.

It is an Urban Fantasy more than a ‘novel’ ::pout::. So all in all it was lazy. Why bother having another series if you are going to keep it in the same ‘world’ with the same already out of date slang.

le sigh I will finish it at some point, maybe but I do want to read John/Xhex book. I think…

@katiebabs I can see how Miss Percy would appeal to other readers but it just didn’t do it for me. Yes, I agree that

@heidenkind If I understood correctly, Miss Percy is the start of a series. Maybe the dependence thing will become less of an issue later on?

@Donna (Fantasy Dreamer) I think it would have been better had Covet been set in an entirely different world to the BDB series. I’m still on board for Lover Mine, though!

Wow, Covet is really getting the knock down around the book blogs. I finally got it in the mail yesterday. Kinda worried about reading it, I so do not want to be disappointed.

Actually, I know what you mean about the teacher/student relationship–that did kind of squick me out at first, especially as a teacher (and as a former student who used to have a crush on a teacher… *cough*). But there does come a point in the book where their relationship changes so that it feels more equal. But still, like I mentioned in my review, there’s never any doubt Percy is completely dependent upon Alexi.

Wow The Phade must be one crowded place with all these people running around.

Aw, I thought you would enjoy Percy Parker. I can see where the age gap can give be a turn off for some people. I found Leanna’s writing to be beautiful and for some reason Percy didn’t bother me so much. I kept cracking up every time she swooned though.

I am planning lots of mini reviews on the made over blog (when it is finally done, which is taking some time) and don’t think it’s being lazy. It’s a great way to deal with these types of DNF books or books you just don’t have a lot to say about.

@SusiSunshine Yeah, Covet was a disappointment. Ward’s books are frequently patchy but I’ve always found enough good stuff in the BDB books to keep me turning the pages. That wasn’t the case here.

Haven’t read the other ones.
