I’ve been franticly trying to finish all the books before voting time. Darn you Skyrim for distracting me…
There are 2 books in this grouping that I’ve only read half but I plan on returning to them in September.

The Calling by Kelley Armstrong
Characters: 3/5
Writing Style: 4/5
Story: 5/5
Fun: 4/5
Overall: Addictive story. If I didn’t have the adult category I’d jump right into the third in this series. The characters felt a little underdeveloped but overall it was a great story.
