I'm so glad that Lunar Chronicles switches between the couples because then Wolf and Scarlet could get their own book and scenes too! I really would read an Adam Parrish centric book, although admittedly a good 50% of The Raven Cycle seems to be his perspective already xD I also really would read a book centered around Dekka and Edilio from the Gone series by Michael Grant.

I love companion series like Stage Dive for just that reason, and the best part of romance companion series is that some authors keep them going for many, many books, which is the best when you fall in love with the group and setting. There are a few books, where a romance sort of started or was hinted at, and I am curious. Like, why do authors start something they have no intention of finishing!!Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-74550782704405952192018-07-14T23:56:14.342-04:002018-07-14T23:56:14.342-04:00I recently finished Silver Silence by Nalini Singh...I recently finished Silver Silence by Nalini Singh, and there are a ton of secondary characters I would love to read about.

I also agree with what you said... giving secondary characters their own story, even if it's short, allows you to see how other characters are doing. Did the HEA stick? What's going on in everyone's lives?! It would be great to know, especially from someone else's perspective. I think that's one reason I enjoyed the Stage Dive series by Kylie Scott so much. Each book was about a different band member, but we get to see other characters from previous books that we fell in love with.<br /><br />L @ <a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Do You Dog-ear?</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-38783458663925664432018-07-14T21:16:59.577-04:002018-07-14T21:16:59.577-04:00YESSS KITTTTYYYY.
