Reading

2nd book finished:  Darkling... Yasmine Galenorn

Darkling is third book in the series.  I have previously read Witchling and Changeling.

Essentially, this series revolves around 3 half-fae sisters from the Otherworld who are trying to stop an invasion from a demon name Shadow Wing, while dealing with a civil war going on in the Otherworld.  Sounds dark and heavy, but it isn't - these books are like bubblegum.  Funny and sarcastic,  no better than then the genre, but yet, amusing enough.

So to date:
1.  My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding... P.N. Elrod
2.  Darkling... Yasmine Galenorn

I'm impressed you went through the first three books even though they weren't your thing.

It's funny, I thought the story was more complex in the beginning. Once they started getting rid of all the cumbersome nobles in the first book, everything got easier for me. :)

For what it's worth, the next trilogy is about the kid, Imriel, and is (IMO) a lot less complicated overall. There's also, I think, less BDSM/sex.

it was well written, with good politics and an interesting world. hence 3 books before i just didn't want to read anymore.
