  I was hesitant to read them because I thought they'd be really cheesy, but I was hooked pretty quickly. I was bummed, though, because I thought this was just a trilogy, but I think it's planned as a 5 book series, so keep that in mind if you hate waiting for the next book in a series to come out.

  Oh man! I thought it was a trilogy as well. Bummer. I still might give them a shot though. I'll buy the first two for less than 7 bucks and go from there.

  I really liked these books!!  I resisted for a long time because I didn't love the descriptions but they are very addictive.  I think read the first 3 books in a week.  I, too, thought it was a trilogy and was irritated when I found it wasn't.  Oh well.  Definitely worth reading IMO!

  Yep!!  That was totally me!  Towards the last third of the book I started wondering how on earth everything was going to wrap up.  Answer--not yet, haha!  I think Queen Leavana's  book comes out in January.

  I really enjoyed the first book and have been waiting for them to go on sale or for my library to get the rest. I thought it was a trilogy as well. Now I wonder if I should wait...
