No order. If I had to give my favorite of the list…I don’t think I could. All these books are brilliant. Although No Souvenirs and Resistance would probably top my list.
Wow, I have read 8 out of 10 of these! (of course, many on your previous recommendations) Just ordered Not Knowing Jack, I am so excited about that one.
Of these my favorites were Strawberries for Dessert (loved that whole series), Special Delivery, and Resistance.
Fantastic list Sarah. I’ve only read one book on the list *blushes* – All or Nothing, which I adored. (I’m a huge James Buchanan fan now and can’t wait for the Hard Fall sequels.)
I have Force of Law on my iPhone and hope to read it over the Christmas-New Year period; Special Delivery I’m planning to start reading tonight :)
I have read five of these, so now I know my top ten is a mixture of yours and Shuzluva’s lists. I love my urban fantasy! Thinking about this I am really going back to the discussion on author’s voice from a couple of months ago. For me there are some authors who have something to tell me that I want to listen too and that is why it intrigues me that you have doubles of some authors on this list.
Also I finished ‘Not knowing Jack’ last night and loved it and would have it in my top 10. I agree with one of the commenters on the review that he thought of himself more than the kids. The ending leaves me worrying that Jack still has a lot of work to do on opening up. Jack’s bad communication habits which are also about control are a lifetimes default setting. I still wasn’t sure that he was working with Tony there at the end.
@orannia: Oh, Hard Fall sequels! Tell me more! I loved that book!
Nice! I’m going to check out all of these recommendations. Thanks and more power to you! Good luck. I love your posts.
@jayhjay:
@jayhjay – Apologies for the late reply! I read somewhere that James Buchanan is currently working on not one but two</i. Hard Fall sequels. I think the first is entitled Requiem for Leather, but don't quote me on that (as my memory is shocking ATM :) There is an excerpt from it online….somewhere. Will check tonight and if it is OK with DA post the link.
@orannia: Sure! Go right ahead. :) (Although I think that’s now going to be the second sequel (third in series, but that might be insider info :).
Thank you Sarah! Will do. Ahhh – I didn’t know that (about Requiem for Leather being the third in the series).
A lovely Santa gave me The Good Thief for Christmas, so I will be able to continue my James Buchanan gloom :)
And *blushes* my formatting in my previous comment is shockingly atrocious!
Here is the link to an excerpt from an upcoming sequel to Hard Fall (Note: (it’s not work safe):
