I was hesitant at first, but finally I gave in and got the entire series. I read all the books in just two weeks and then had my hubby pick me up the 9th book on his way home from work. Had that read in one day. Once you start reading them, it is really hard to stop. You constantly want to know what is going to happen next. <br /><br />While I hated the titles of the books and I absolutely hated the covers for books 2 through 9, the books themselves were good. I just think the author got terribly lazy or cheap when coming up with the covers, and the titles of the books were rather lame and showed no true thought. But that is my opinion. I am glad I read them all, and will get book 10 when it comes out. There will be like 3 or 4 more to follow that over the next few years too.My Busy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01685193507251476598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821441307795094837.post-69029069061823944882009-11-18T22:00:20.169-05:002009-11-18T22:00:20.169-05:00I'm kinda of tired of reading vampire books.

The first couple episodes follow the books pretty closely, but then they start really diverging into sex and violence and new characters (for more sex and violence) that aren't in the book. I hope people don't get dissuaded from the series by the series, which is really offensive, in my opinion!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.com
