The third in the trilogy. As I mentioned I skipped over Duty and Desire after the first book to get to this one more quickly. I absolutely love this one! This one covers the time in Kent through the end and it's such a great read. You get to witness Darcy's transformation from his point of view. It always makes me want to read P&P again - so that's what I'm doing now!

An Assembly Such as This (again - again) :)
by Pamela Aidan
A novel by Fitzwilliam Darcy. This is the third time reading this and man do I love it. This time actually came about after watching P&P for about the 100th time and then jumping right into this book. I love reading it from Darcy's point of view. I decided early on to skip the second book though so after finishing the first I jumped to the third. The second book contains no Elizabeth in it and strays pretty far from the P&P I know and love. While I'm missing out on some character development, the third book is by far the best and I'm very much looking forward to it!

Hunted (House of Night book 5)
by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.
Needing a break from from the Vampire Earth series I decided to start this one since it's been a while. Although this will be full of violence I'm sure. But I've been curious how this story moves forward and I had the 5th book on my i-pod. I'm disappointed that they changed narrators (AGAIN) for the 6th book and wont' even buy it yet because the reviews of the new narrator are so horrendous. Actually since I switched to reading these in paperback form this narrator is different than the first and man is she YOUNG! Sounds like a 12 year old reading this which is very strange.
Having now finished this book I can say this - up until about halfway through I was ready to put it down and never look back (at the series). It was absolutely ridiculous! Way too much teenager angst over boys when hello! The world as you know it has ended! Pay attention to the real problems!
However the second half got back to the actual problem of fighting the evil that has come about and was much more interesting, moving the story forward significantly. So in the end I was very glad to read this one but I'm actually considering just stopping there. I don't know if I can put up with her boy problems anymore (just pick one already - any one - i honestly don't care!).
