Yeah, things did become a bit crazy over here a few months back with the nonstop rain and the flooding. First time my house has ever gotten flooded in the 30+ years it's been standing. It was waist deep at our place, and some co-workers and friends who lived in the worst hit areas ended up on their roofs waiting for the floodwaters to recede. Thankfully, we all survived. I was going to post about it just to ensure people that I was still alive and kicking, but somehow it must've slipped my mind.
Hee. I got into the Kenyon bandwagon rather late, considering she's been writing the DH books since 2003. I like the fact that her writing style is easy to read, though I have to agree with a lot of reviews that say she's more of a storyteller than a writer. I've almost completed her backlist by now, though it's hard to find her books used and at reasonable prices over here--I just lucked out on ebay for some of my books, and two years ago National Bookstore was selling some of the British editions at really deep discounts during their annual cut-price book sale. I bought them on a whim because the blurbs sounded interesting, but I wasn't able to get around to actually reading them until this year. I love the mythological background, but it seems that the series has been heading into more and more convoluted territory with all of those hints being dropped in the more recent books. And yes, Ash is the coolest. *fangirls* Too bad he's not the biggest, toughest guy around anymore, between those references to Jaden's and Jared's pasts,

Well... of course it's partly the Greek mythology that draws me to Sherrilyn Kenyon but on the other hand - she's wrong about many actual facts (this is were my inner Indiana Jones rears his ugly head). However, I think it's really refreshing that someone uses Ancient Greek mythology instead of the usual Celtic/Germanic lore (but you know that ^^;;). Also, I love that her males aren't alpha, but more, well, sub-alpha? They are silly and amusing and when they angst they even occasionally talk about the reasons. Also, you really feel that Kenyon loves anime and manga (I mean... look at Acheron

Agree on the sub-alpha part. They may all be huge and buff, but at least they have distinct personalities instead of being interchangeable. That's one of the things that annoyed me about Christine Feehan's Carpathians. You've read about one, you've read about them all
