I...It's the characters, always the characters.<br /><br />I have, occasionally, issues with the world building (rather, some continuity issues--I still have to write that post, dammit!), but the characters are the main draw for me.<br /><br />Despite the fact that the romance between Eve and Roarke, and the romances between... oops--was gonna spoil stuff there *ahem*. Anyway, despite having the HEA for the main characters, they still grow through each book. Sometimes is a rather large leap (<i>Survivor in Death</i> and <i>Memory in Death</i> for example) and sometimes it's not, but there is always that evolution of each character and their relationships with each other.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-67409302422833990922010-10-01T17:46:27.824-04:002010-10-01T17:46:27.824-04:00This is the only series that I continually re-read...This is the only series that I continually re-read.

Then I fell in love with the characters -- if only I have all the time in the world and read many books at once...<br /><br />Right now, what's driving me to pick up Interlude again is the release of her latest books and realizing I'm way behind, thinking I wouldn't be able to read her soon to be released books 'till probably next year or the next after.

Once you start the series, you might be surprised and could even feel grateful there are so many books waiting to be read. Always knowing there's that next book you can grab… I've actually started to dread the moment I'll catch up the series and read the latest book.

What's keeping me from it is the sheer number of books(!) and the author shows no sign of stopping in the near future! I'm leery of long series - it's just me, I know - I usually get bored by the 4th or 5th book (which is why I stopped reading Ward's BDB and Cole's Immortals After Dark series). Maybe I'll pick you In Death Book 1 when I'm brave enough. :)Jacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624496893173429179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-22939852877144559892010-10-01T01:56:37.182-04:002010-10-01T01:56:37.182-04:00I think what keeps us picking up the next book is ...I think what keeps us picking up the next book is the relationship we as readers form with the characters. We laugh at Peabody and McNabb's relationship, we awww when Eve and Roarke grow ever closer together and we adore the snarkfest between Eve and Sommerset. Not to mention all the other favorite characters. After a while the characters seem more real because we feel we know them and we have to know what affects them. <br />No sooner does a new In Death book come out that I start to reread the others on my shelves. It's one of the few series I can read over and over and over again. <br /><br />Hope you're having a good week!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-10111877214338061672010-10-01T00:44:01.098-04:002010-10-01T00:44:01.098-04:00Or maybe there's just something there in these...Or maybe there's just something there in these particular books ;) These were all the same books I read in those two months in summer when I devoured many ID stories… :) I just had to keep on reading them, one after another...<br /><br />For this month I read Imitation in Death. I started it some weeks ago but I was so drawn to historicals at the time that I put it aside. I was hesitant to pick it up again, because I thought I wouldn't be able to read it (still devouring those lovely historicals). But no worries, it really engaged my interest right away. Imitation in Death was a basic ID story for me. Nice murder mystery and also nice in relationship wise. Some things "evolved" and it makes me want to grab the next book and see how those things turn out to be... 4 stars out of 5 :)<br /><br />You asked what drives people to pick up the next ID book off their shelves? Usually the latest read does that to me. After finishing Imitation, I really wanted to read more. More about Eve, more about Roarke, Peabody, murder mysteries... But I didn't pick it up yet, because I think I'll finish one historical romance first. My next ID book is that combined Roberts/Robb book called Remember When. I like her Roberts books too, so that isn't a problem. And it's about time to read a Roberts novel. I think it might have been spring since I last read one. And I should order few more ID books, just to make sure I've got them in my shelf when ever the ID mood happens to strike again..Maijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488447744786260828noreply@blogger.com
