WWW Wednesdays

WWW Wednesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. 

To play along, answer the following three questions:

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

I haven’t read much lately. I’ve been on a writing and editing venture of sorts. And when I’m in that place, I find it hard to write. I don’t want another author’s voice to interfere with my own.

What are you currently reading?

I’ve been reading this for many weeks now. And if I had a Magic Eight Ball and asked if I’ll finish soon, the answer would be “Not likely.”

I also started this one…well over a week ago. I’m only on Chapter 2, so I have no opinion yet.

What did you recently finish reading?

If I ever find more free time to read, I plan to venture into Book 2 of the Debt Collector series.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Not sure. My TBR list (like everyone else’s) is huge, so I’ll have a lot to choose from.

You Need to Read...

Delirium (Debt Collector 1) by Susan Kaye Quinn.

My Rating (out of 5 hearts)

♥♥♥♥♥

Why?

• I was hooked from the first sentence.
• The writing is outstanding.
• Lirium is not only interesting but someone for whom you can feel empathy.
• It’s short and sweet (well, sweet might not be completely accurate given the subject matter).
• I want to read more.

Take a look…

Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat, jackboots, and the black marks on his soul that every debt collector carries. He's just in it for his cut, the ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, the people who will make the world a better place with their brains, their work, and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja's sex workers keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane... until he collects again. But when his recovery ritual is disrupted by a sex worker who isn't what she seems, he has to choose between doing an illegal hit for a girl whose story has more holes than his soul or facing the bottle alone--a dark pit he's not sure he'll be able to climb out of again.
