The Barter System series by Shayne McClendon

Posted

You ask for nothing, expect nothing, and aren’t surprised when that’s exactly what you receive

Title: The Barter System series, as listed below

Author: Shayne McClendon

THIS IS A TRULY EPIC SERIES!!!

Riya O’Connell decides to write her dissertation on male sexuality and instead of studying books on the subject she decides to embark on her own real life research; a research which will leave her emotionally drained especially when she moves from one subject to another in her carefully planned journey.

13,000 applied to take part in her research and through various surveys and essays she's narrowed it down to eight subjects which she'll meet in real life to explore and understand their sexuality. Once you accept that there was a university which approved this type of research, it is one hell of a story that McClendon has created. 

Lots of very strong characters are introduced throughout the series and many of them keep popping up in the latter books, so do take notice; Riya, Tawny, Sean, Joshua, Lucas, Ricardo, Bobby, Victor, Micah, Hollow, Max, Shaye, Jessica, Alyssa, Hudson, Natalia, Harper, Brie, Isabelle, Sylvia, Scott, Elijah, Jim, etc. 

Sure there are sex, a lot of it, but the books have sooo much more; loyalty, emotions, threats, beauty and fiercely protective friendships to just mention a few. 

I started with The Barter System, then Hudson followed by Backstage, Liberation and Radiance (these were all bundled up in a Limited Edition Collection for Kindle). After that I read the two prequels and finally the two companion volumes. You don't need to read the companion volumes, but they do provide some extra information on some of the lead characters and snippets from other books by McClendon.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
