Hayden... oh lol, read if you're in the mood for laughs, but only if you can get them for free from the library. As for Carey... my sister liked the Kushiel books, but I always had the slightly skeevy feeling that I was reading someone's sexual fantasies wrapped up in an overly pretty package. My sister insists that the series gets better after the first book, but I couldn't hack my way through the jungle of purple prose to make it that far.
