Hey, Gail is on Facebook! You should be Facebook friends. And have her join your Vampire Wars team or whatever.
That would mean I would have to log onto Facebook, bah. We're already LJ and Twitter friends.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Jilli, your reaction to the end of Changeless was also mine. I actually read the teaser for the next book at the end and I never do that! It's probably the first time in a very long while I ended with a cliffhanger but didn't want to kill the author. I mean, torture her in some way, yes, but killing would mean she'd stop writing.
Seanan McGuire's good too. I enjoyed her book. It's coming more from horror than paranormal fantasy, though, and has a very different feel.
Deena, I read the teaser at the end of the book, then bolted to Amazon to pre-order my copy of the next book. Which doesn't come out until September, and I don't know if I can wait that long.
I know! September! That was my first question to Greg when I raised my head... after I could be coherent again. He couldn't understand me at first. I couldn't say "CLIFFHANGER!" He recognized the "hulk smash" face, though.
I finished the book while lounging in the bath, and apparently I made the squeaky noises of outrage when I finished it. Because Pete (who was in the living room) laughed and called out "So, cliffhanger? Poor goth girl".
I really, really hate cliffhangers. Hate. And yet, it wasn't... quite. But it was! Very distressing. And I can't put her on my "authors never to be trusted again" shelf because the books are too good.
I want Seanan to win for the young adult chick lit novel I first read about four years ago, but it remains unpublished. I enjoyed the Toby book I read, but it don't blow me away.
I may purchase the other books you all are recommending right now.

Which one? Chasing St. Margaret ? I haven't read it, but I'm waiting for Lycanthropy and Other Personal Issues to be published. That one's fun.

Yeah, I like them, and I respect the worldbuilding, but I wasn't blown away. Feed did, however.

Soulless is very entertaining and enjoyable.
I Upon a Star was the one I read. It was adorable. Not really fantasy, more like something Meg Cabot might write. I read Lycanthropy, too, and enjoyed it.
I just ordered Soulless, The Hunger Games, and the second Toby book. Kindles plus airports plus this thread are dangerous.

Ah, haven't read that one either.

Ha, nice. The second Toby book is very different from the first, I think. It has a different vibe, but it does what it does well. And I really like April.
Heeeeey, Jilli and Deena, since I'm not used to reading urban fantasy: is Changeless really different from Soulless in tone and structure?
