"'He's the Gatekeeper.'

Silence reigned for a moment. Then I shattered it with an outburst of laughter, images of proton packs and ectoplasm flashing through my memory. 'Are you the keymaster?'

Devich frowned, and my smiled faded. I tossed back the rest of my whiskey. I could not trust someone who didn't even know he was quoting Ghostbusters." p 67

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Book Titles Featuring Ordinal Numbers (submitted by Joanne @ Portobello Book Blog)

*in no particular order
**super, super tricky! I forgot how long it took me to compose 10 titles for this one! Very long! Lol.

1. ONCE BITTEN by Kalayna Price--the first book in the Haven series which was sadly never completed. I mourn its loss every day as it was one of the first books I ever received a review copy of and was SO excited as I kept reading it.
2. TWICE TEMPTED by Jeaniene Frost--the second book in the Night Prince series featuring one of many favorite Frost vampires!
3. THREE STRIKES by Kate Kessler--the third in the Audrey Harte series which I sadly still need to start, but I got all the books at least!

4. FOUR by Veronica Roth--the fourth installment of the Divergent series...yes, it was a novella collection, but it was aptly titled and it did release AFTER the third book!
5. FIRST by Alyssa Rose Ivy--this was a prequel novella to The Crescent Chronicles that was released after the third book, but it backtracked to the beginning of the series, to before the beginning. It happened first! Get it? Lol. Stretching on this one but this topic was hard!
6. ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig--the first book in The Shepherd King duology.

7. TWO FEET UNDER by C.C. Hunter--the second book in The Mortician's Daughter trilogy, and one I still need to finish!
8. EIGHTH GRAVE AFTER DARK by Darynda Jones--the eighth book in the Charley Davidson series!
9. THIRTEEN by Kelley Armstrong--the thirteenth book of the Women of the Otherworld series!

10. SECONDHAND LUCK by Kim Harrison--The second book of The Shadow Age series. Literally thought of this one at the last second as my last choice did not really fit the theme and I was trying to do better, lol!
