I started this series in April and finished the last two books in May. :D I just read so much in between, it seems like a long time ago, lol! <br /><br />I hope you begin these soon and that you enjoy them as much as Ames and I have. ;PHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-57005840755573218712010-07-20T11:52:44.256-04:002010-07-20T11:52:44.256-04:00LOL.

My AE obsession partner! LOL! Goodness yes! ...Ames! My AE obsession partner! LOL! Goodness yes! I loved this series (Jake and Adrien).<br /><br />What did I think of Jake in the last book? I liked his sincerity with Adrien... even when it was tough for Adrien to deal with it. I liked that Adrien realized that HE himself had not asked the right questions along the way. I loved Adrien's character growth and the way Jake dealt with the changes. We didn't get all the nitty gritty details about what Jake was going through outside of his relationship with Adrien, (except for a few) but that was okay with me. I loved the end. :) <br /><br />Renee... by the time I got to the last two books I just wanted to hug these books and keep them to myself. *g* <br /><br />I loved the atmosphere in all the books. Both Death of a Pirate King and The Dark Tide had that retro atmosphere... they transported me to another time, yet kept me in the here and now -- loved it!<br /><br />I have a couple of Lanyon's other books in my TBR pile, but I have to check and see if I have your recommendations, if not I'll be sure to get them. Thank you!Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-88050360521519234542010-07-18T03:59:00.982-04:002010-07-18T03:59:00.982-04:00Reading your posts make me want to pick them up ag...Reading your posts make me want to pick them up again! What a wonderful way to feel about a book/series. Though I'm glad you did get around to posting about them. ;-)<br /><br /> <i>"it has a wonderful retro atmosphere that I just loved."</i><br /><br />The series has always had a noir-ish feel for me. I can totally imagine it in the style of a 40's noir thriller. And, I guess the covers, too, reinforce that style.<br /><br />I really suggest (if you haven't already read it) Lanyon's novella "Lover's and Other Strangers" in <i>The Art of Dying</i> anthology co-authored with Jordan Castillo Price. The hero, Finn, reminds me in some ways of Adrien. (And, Finn, imo, doesn't suffer for the comparison.)Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408227410388147148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-9302573658545033262010-07-17T22:44:17.359-04:002010-07-17T22:44:17.359-04:00LMAO!

I want to reread it...but in the meantime, I've been re-reading my favorite passages and kinda sorta reread the first two again. LOL I just love Jake and Adrien.<br /><br />But I need to reread the last book because I was distracted the first time I read it. I was visiting at a relative's house and people kept asking me about my ebook reader and yeah, cut into my reading.<br /><br />What did you think of Jake in the 4th book?~ames~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683205224039402987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-66261319594873434422010-07-17T10:05:12.615-04:002010-07-17T10:05:12.615-04:00Mariana, I wasn't ready to finish them when I ...Mariana, I wasn't ready to finish them when I did.
