Kiss of Steel: A dark, fresh take on vampires and steampunk London | Bec McMaster

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-9: The fight with the slashers and then the vampire-intense! Honoria held her own and can definitely use that pistol. I bet Blade will use those firebolt bullets to kill it. I‘m so intrigued by Will - a verwulven or werewolf. These different creatures (caused by viruses) are interesting. Honoria has to tell Blade about her brother soon though - before something happens. Or before that doctor tells the Echelon about him.

Roary47 Those fight scenes were intense! I like her Scientific mind. She‘s interested in the transformation from Blue blood to vampire. I hope they explore that a little more. 10h

vonnie862 @Roary47 same! 5h

vonnie862 It's interesting how Blade heals quickly, but others do not, per Honoria. 5h

LiseWorks Well, these chapters are intense. I like Blade more and more. 4h

julieclair I think Blade may already suspect about her brother. And oh my, the fighting is intense for sure! I was glad to see Honoria‘s bravery. 3h

Kiss of Steel: A dark, fresh take on vampires and steampunk London | Bec McMaster

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.4-6: Long chapters but they had more interesting world building and added more layers to our characters. And we find that when blue bloods turn rogue they become vampires and are essentially monsters. Blade is constantly struggling to make sure he never loses his control - and Honoria is testing him. Of course she is. He wants her now, and more than just for revenge on Vickers. ⬇️

StayCurious I want to learn more about what Leo is up to and how he created this recent rogue vampire. is he completely bad or will he redeem himself? 2d

StayCurious @Kshakal @JenlovesJT47 @julesG @BarkingMadRead @vonnie862 @julieclair @CarolynM @LiseWorks 2d

vonnie862 So, is Blade considered a vampire? BTW, I am loving the tension between him and Honoria. 2d

julesG @vonnie862 He's not gone rogue yet, which might mean he isn't. But he's not a blue blood either, or is he? 2d

LiseWorks It seems to me that Honneria was captured by Echelon and escaped. They want her because she worked with her Dad? Is there a cure? What is Leo hiding? I do believe Blade is a Blue Blood but not yet a vampire. What is his attraction to Honoria? 1d

StayCurious @julesG @vonnie862 my understanding is he is a blue blood but doesn‘t live with the Echelon because he wasn‘t meant to be created. He was supposed to be killed but he survived against all odds. He is not a vampire yet but I think with all blue bloods there is the risk of becoming one. 1d

Roary47 I‘m enjoying Blade and Honoria‘s interactions. I‘m still feeling lost with probably everything else. I just have sooo many questions. 1d

julieclair I‘m pretty confused, but along for the ride. 🤪 15h

Kiss of Steel: A dark, fresh take on vampires and steampunk London | Bec McMaster

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.1-3: I‘m already hooked on this story - so far the world building has been great. A world where elite vampires or Blue Bloods rule London, except for Whitechapel - where Blade rules and protects those under him. Honoria now has his protection- but they both hold secrets and it‘s only a matter of time before those secrets come out and burn them both. ⬇️

StayCurious I think she‘s going to need his help with her brother sooner rather than later. But will she accept that help or turn away out of pride? 3d

LiseWorks I'm behind cause I thought it was the 15th we start this 😏 3d

vonnie862 It's an interesting world so far. So there's a disease/virus going around that's creating vampires instead of a vampire creating a vampire? Hmmm...I like it. 3d

julesG I forgot!!! I will catch up! Promise! Love the meme!!! 2d

StayCurious @vonnie862 did I read that it‘s like tainted blood or could be as small as a scratch from a vampire that causes it? I can‘t quite remember - I wonder how her brother got it 2d

Roary47 Can you tag me in future updates on this buddy read. Looks like I forgot to say I was reading along too. 😅 I‘ll read the chapters in a minute and join the discussion. 2d

vonnie862 @StayCurious that's what I'm wondering, too. We'll probably learn more as the story progresses. 2d

Kshakal I have to admit that I am intrigued! 2d

CarolynM Really not my thing, but it‘s decently written, some good chemistry between the MCs and I‘m interested to see where it‘s going. 2d

Roary47 The way the doctor said he wouldn‘t be back. I worry her brother is going to do something they all regret soon. 😬 2d

MatchlessMarie This is perfect for this month! I have a coworker who a few weeks ago remembered how I liked books and started talking to me about what he was reading and he‘s been trying to get me into fantasy and lent me his copy of Eragon as a gateway book 😂 to try out. Most fantasy I have read are other genres with light fantasy elements in them so far.

Eragon: Odkaz Dra?�ch jezdc? - 1. d�l

CBee @RaeLovesToRead believe it or not, I read one of those and it was great

Check, Please! Book 1: # Hockey

CBee @MatchlessMarie that‘s awesome! 2w

Ruthiella Hmmm. This might be a tough one! 2w

OriginalCyn620 Okay, I have to give this one some thought! 🤔 it may be a toss up between nonfiction and fantasy 2w

CBee @OriginalCyn620 did you ever read The House in the Cerulean Sea? That‘s fantasy! And it‘s fabulous! The sequel is too. 2w

OriginalCyn620 @CBee Yes, I‘ve read both and loved them! Fantasy is hit or miss for me, but sometimes I am pleasantly surprised! 2w

CBee @OriginalCyn620 same! Klune does write a lot of fantasy so maybe another of his would also work! 2w

Bklover Well, this might mean a romance for me! Maybe I‘ll finally read

Beach Read: the ONLY laugh-out-loud love story you�ll want to read on holiday

Meshell1313 Ooh interesting. I‘ve had this suspense thriller on my shelf forever because I don‘t typically read it but it was one of those $5 Barnes and noble cafe books and they get me every single time! 😂

The Girls I've Been

CatLass007 This could be difficult. I read every genre. I‘ve never read a Wastern but I have some — nope I take that back. I read Robert B Parker‘s Westerns the first four books of the Cole & Hitch series are excellent because Parker wrote them. His estate hired someone to ruin them by writing more. Let me think… I love science fiction, fantasy, mystery, suspense, thrillers, biography, memoir, faith-based nonfiction. I don‘t remember reading any (cont)⬇️ 2w

CatLass007 history, but I know I‘ve got some in my library. They‘re all so long, though. 2w

CBee @Bklover I read an Emily Henry book a while back and really liked it! 2w

CBee @Meshell1313 go for it! 2w

CBee @CatLass007 you can always skip! 😊 2w

CatLass007 Nope, I found one. Actually I found several but I finally settled on one. It‘s an un-history book.

Lies My Teacher Told Me

CBee @CatLass007 awesome 🤩 2w

AmyG I am going to count my Sunday Buddy Read Book….it‘s YA. Not my genre. 2w

CBee @AmyG sounds good to me ♥️ 2w

julieclair I‘m going to use the #LittensLoveRomance selection for this month (title still to be determined). The genre is Steampunk - totally new to me! 2w

CBee @julieclair perfect 🤩 2w

OriginalCyn620 @CBee I looked through the books I own and did come across this NF, so I‘ll read it for the challenge this month! I love her anyway, so I‘m looking forward to it!

so-so

June #RomanceRoundup

Poetry On Ice - Enemies to lovers isn‘t a trope I generally enjoy. This one handled it reasonably well, but I found the 🌶 a bit icky
Pucked - Read with #LittensLoveRomance (thanks @StayCurious ) teammate‘s sister trope, started well but never developed the relationship beyond the physical, which just got boring
Untouchable Player - Sweet jock/nerd & teammate‘s brother trope
Blue Line - OK but forgettable fake dating trope

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.27-epilogue and review: a satisfying ending with a move in, a vacation, a slight dress up mishap 😅 and a proposal. I enjoyed reading Alex and Violet‘s journey but I think some of the character growth was impeded by all the sexy times. Don‘t get me wrong - this book is hot and pretty fun, but a bit too spicy at times. ⬇️

StayCurious Some more real conversations may have been called for at times - and more mature decisions needed to be made. I still find myself interested to read the rest of the series though. Buck and Sunny should be a hoot. 3w

OriginalCyn620 Definitely should have been some actual conversations about something other than their privates. Because of all the sexy times, I just couldn‘t buy that they had a real connection, and that kinda ruined the story for me. It seemed to me throughout that it was purely physical. 3w

CarolynM I‘m with you @OriginalCyn620 I‘m disappointed because I thought it started really well. 3w

vonnie862 I liked Alex but not Violet as much. I agree. There wasn't much character growth but plenty of sexy time. 3w

julesG I agree, a few real conversations were missing. We wanted to see them fall in love, not just in lust. 3w
