Women of The Otherworld Reading Challenge - last mini-challenge!



 
Here it is, the end of the challenge! I'm quite proud of myself for completing it, it's my first reading challenge that I've ever taken part in! I've really enjoyed it as I love the series and have re-read it a few times! The hardest part was limiting myself to just one of the series books a month rather then just reading the series right through without breaks!
 
It gave me something to look forward to each month! I eagerly anticipated each book in the series! I'm sad that 13 is the last book for now but honestly? I am in total denial and cling to the fact that instead of declaring the series as finshed completely, Kelley instead said it was going on Hiatus for now. That gives me hope that, while it may be a few years down the line, there may be at least one more full length novel in the series, if not more. Plus I hold tight to the fact that Kelley has said she will still be releasing short stories and Novella's for the series!
 
What I love most about this series is that, unlike with other books and series I've read, you can read these books over and over and they never get old. Each time is as enjoyable as the first, more so as you notice things you may have missed in the first reading. I'm really excited about the upcoming T.V. series of Bitten and just hope that when they finish casting and shooting the series that it will be available in my area of the world! Maybe, if they do a good enough job of it and it's well received, they may make the rest of the books into a series too (only if they don't muck up Bitten though!).
 
I'm grateful to Kelley for writing this series and for how good she is to her fans, the time she takes to do free short stories relating to the series and to answer questions from fans. She really is a phenomenal author and one of my absolute favourites! Fingers crossed that this really isn't the end and that some day in the future Kelley will be inspired to write another full-length novel in the series! In the mean time I still have her YA series set in the same universe and a new series releasing this year to make up for the hiatus!
 
To finish, I'd like to thank Lucy from Moonlight Gleam's Bookshelf for hosting the challenge and for her generosity with the prizes each month for those partaking in the challenge!
