I got Guilty Pleasures for my birthday last year. I read it and liked it [though the title and cover *sigh* got me quite a bit of razzing from folks thinking it was something porn-related--how come so many fantasy and sci fi books do that? i know half-naked females probably do sell...but being a female and walking around with one gets you into some trouble at times...[BTW:that was a seperate rant, there's no nudity in the cover of Guilty Pleasures]]. However, after passing the book onto a friend, I decided not to bother reading the rest of the series. I don't know...it just didn't grab me enough, I guess...I rarely read urban fantasy, actually the only ones I do read is the SERRAted Edge series by Mercedes Lackey...

I've read up to The Killing Dance, which I didn't like very much, so I haven't read any of the subsequent books yet because I've heard they are more like TKD than they are like the earlier books.
