			Better for the most part, thanks for asking. LOL, I know what you mean. I generally have to read in order when it comes to series. I've read the Lux Series (so far), but haven't read Obsession, but I'm guessing that Blue2u's order would work quite well. Last edited by AnemicOak; 09-17-2013 at 12:27 PM. |

			Yes, thanks Blue. Looks like a good order for me. Its just that when I hear a book is related, but can be read as a standalone, it gives me hives. If its related, its not a standalone. Pouts.  Some said to read that Shadows novella thingy after Obsidian, but you say to read it after Opal. Getting sweaty again.  Where are the days where many books where just one book. Read and move on the the next. And if they were series, it was simply one couple after another. Simple one through five or however many. Not its all these prequels, novellas, spinoffs. I can't take it anymore.    |

			I'm lucky.  I have OCD and ADHD.  So if I read a book, and don't start another one immediately (and I usually don't, I just fall asleep), I forget all about it.  I have to keep the books on my PW and mark them read, or I would just reread them.  I am the same way abut movies--I am always asking my husband if we saw a certain movie.  I know he thinks I am losing it.  But, if you want to know which section of the tax code is which, I can answer that without thinking.   Years ago I learned to turn my mind (the storage part) off and on. Anyone else like this? |

 Obsession I would read in the order I described above, but like I said, of all them it is NOT YA, at all...   | |

			I know right! I up to 8 of them!   Why I don't know I guess I know they are quick reads with paranormal twist. Usually light on the paranormal meaning there isn't much world building. It's like reading a normal HQ but the characters are furry or a vampire or some other supernatural character. They are not for serious paranormal readers. I think had I gone into Gone with The Wolf knowing that I would have enjoyed it more. It had it moments. Take it Like Vamp though was good half way through then the writer just went off and well here's my review of it. |

			Wallbanger actually made me laugh out loud at times. I love the way some of the stories now are allowing the couples to be friends first, then lovers. Another good series is A Neighbor From Hell by R.L. Mathewson.
