    You know, I really love Donia. Totally into the tragic characters too. It is kind of a toss-up if I like Donia or Niall more. Brooding and sad is usually more interesting to me. Thanks for the raving post about Marr's short stories - I've downloaded them now :)

    I'm not sure if I have a favorite or not. I have to agree with everyone, Niall and Donia are pretty fabulous to read about, but I am interested in seeing Seth's character develop. I wouldn't say he's my favorite character, but I see way more random chaos happening with him than any other characters and I love seeing that happen.

    Count me in, after your reviews, I'm thinking I'll go ahead and give this series another chance. And like you, I am in love with Niall. He's the Dark Lord and he owns it.

    I love Seth because of his devotion to Ash. He makes the ultimate sacrifice in becoming fey. Thanks for the contest. I'd love to win.

    Thanks for introducing me to this series. In the little bit that I've read, I think Ash is my favorite, but that could well be that most of what I've seen has been through her eyes. Thank you for the contest.

    I have liked Seth from the start. You gotta love a regular mortal man who stands up to the immortal Fae for his woman. However, Niall is my favorite. A former Dark Court darling who switched sides twice, is now the Dark King (and a freaking awesome one at that) and has a great, big bone to pick with Keenan? That is one complicated guy. Plus, he just gives me the warm fuzzies :) I hope he really gets to kick some Summer butt. Go Niall!

    My favorites are Seth and Leslie.

    Seth because his character is growing and changing so much and he is so devoted. Its cool to watch how he changes and adapts to this new world.

    Leslie, I have liked from the beginning and am looking forward to finding out what happens to her.

    Niall is my favorite b/c I just loved him in Ink Exchange! And while reading Wicked Lovely, I remember reading his advice to Keenan about Ash and not really looking past face-value at his comments. Then when I read Ink Exchange I really saw how deep his scars were and how he used that dark past to try and guide Keenan rather than do anything selfish, and he did the same for Leslie though that didn't end so well.
    But how 'bout I'm actually shocked that I'm in consensus here?! I have run into people who like Irial, but not Niall! It's cool to see :D

    Btw Seth is no slouch either, lol
    I like him a lot too :)

    My favorite characters are Leslie and Niall. Throughout all of the books (and now the short story), I think they've probably had the most believable character development based on their tragic, abusive pasts. I liked that this history allowed them to be vulnerable with each in Ink Exchange.

    Thanks for the contest!

    My favorite character is Aislinn. Why? Because she sounds like a kick ass heroine.

    Just FYI I read the entire short story and the first 18 chapters last night.

    I think my favorite character is a toss-up between Niall and Irial. sigh. I love them both.

    Ash is my favorite. She's strong, yet not afraid to ask for comfort or help when she needs it. I love the other characters too, but she's my favorite!

    Irial, hands down. I love the fact that in so many ways, he's so incredibly human. And yet, he'll never be human, at least in terms of his behavior. I loved how in Stopping Time he was thinking about how there were only two people in the world he really cared about, and everyone else was just.. tools to keep them safe. That thought process really accentuated for me how far from human he really is. And yet, he shows these flashes of vulnerability and other emotions and for a moment, you forget. Anyhow, I could babble all day about all the fascets of his character that draw me in, but I'll stop now *g*cCourtney

Darkest Mercy Cover Art

I know you've likely seen this cover already, but it's frankly too pretty not to post. Also, it's Donia. And I love Donia. This is the cover for Darkest Mercy --the fifth and final book in Melissa Marr 's Wicked Lovely series. And just for fun, I thought I'd post all five covers side by side here now, both to show the arc of truly lovely cover art for a series, and to try to determine which one is my favorite. First of all-- so pretty . This series has just had consistently gorgeous covers and I love seeing that, especially for a series I've followed and enjoyed (I should say that has inspired the full range of human emotions in me--which can only be a good thing--even when I'm railing against some bit of nonsense Keenan got himself up to). Second, as far as my favorite goes, it's definitely down to either the cover of Ink Exchange or the one for  Darkest Mercy . I love them both. But I think, I think , I'm gonna have to go with Ink Exchange . Bec

Bibliocrack Review | The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

 Hi. Hey. Hello there. It's been a . . . well, you know what it's been. We're all still living this together. So I will simply skip to the fact that I couldn't not review this book here. Because reading it was something special. I knew nothing about Ali Hazelwood 's debut novel except that it involved women in STEM and that the cover made me smile. I decided to set it aside for myself as a reward. Work has been . . . punishing . . . for the last year, and I have been so exhausted every hour of every day. And so I determined to buy The Love Hypothesis  on release day knowing nothing about it. But when I went to the bookstore to get my copy, none were available. In fact, none were available anywhere for love nor money, in store or online. At first I was moderately disappointed. Then I told myself maybe it's not that great after all and I didn't necessarily need to feel this preemptive sense of loss. But it kept gnawing at me. The loss. And so I paused work an

Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols

I can't quit Jennifer Echols . Not that I really try that hard, but I read her new ones and often feel as though I'm still searching for that one in possession of that certain something that will make me feel the way  Going Too Far did. Like I couldn't put it it down. And definitely like I didn't hate either of the main characters after the fact. Well, I found it with Such a Rush . I read this 300+ pager in a single night, which clears up the question of whether or not I couldn't put it down. And I finished it definitely not hating either of the main characters. I didn't finish it loving them both unreservedly, though. I loved Leah with my whole heart from page one and that never changed. My feelings regarding one of the Hall brothers remain complicated. More to come on this in a bit. On a side note, I'm delighted that Such a Rush is Ms. Echols' hardcover debut. It's a meticulously designed book, a pleasure to hold in my hands as I stayed up way
