I've owned this for a while and have never got to it.

Welcome, Amanda!

I hope so for your sake. I'm a bit more lenient on my ratings. LOL I want you to enjoy this and hopefully go out with a BANG on the last one!

Trisha, would you be okay to push this out until somewhere between January 20 or after but with enough time to read the monster by the 31st? LOL (Did that make sense? )

I own the book so I am okay with whatever date you guys decide :)

Oh good! Thanks, Amanda! :)

No problem :) I am behind on a lot of books right now anyways. lol.

We just need to somehow record your statement above or put it on EVERY thread and then we can all just go on and check it off! LOL Then we don't all have to keep typing it because we (SO many of us) are always behind! LOL But it's still SO fun!! :o)

Very true. I am behind often, but it's fun trying to catch up :)

sure, we can push this one out.
I have the ebook butI'm sure I can check it out again

1/20?? :)

That would be perfect for me! Thank you so much!!

I plan on starting this one later tonight. I am working on another book for a bit first that I want to try and finish.

Darn, my ebook got pulled back from the library....

I'll try to start tonight but I'm still not feeling well :/
I'll probably start tomorrow....

I didn't realize you were not well. No rush on this one!!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. No rush on this, I plan on taking my time. I hope you feel better soon.

5 chapters in.

Dimitri (view spoiler)[that letter at the beginning is so creepy. I wonder if he can actually be saved. Will be interesting to see what happens. (hide spoiler)]

Rose (view spoiler)[I am glad that she is not trying to do this alone. She needs allies if she wants to succeed in saving Dimitri. (hide spoiler)]

10 chapters in.

Rose (view spoiler)[sounds like it could be possible to save him. I don't know if she would really want Lissa to be the one to save him. I can't see Adrian being willing. I don't really like the way she is treating Adrian either. Instead of sneaking off to save Dimitri she should have been honest with him in the first place. He would not have been happy about it in either situation, but being honest with him from the start shows that you care about his feelings. I honestly don't see them working out and Adrian should be with someone who wants to be with him. (hide spoiler)]

I got really sick yesterday with a sore throat and coughing. I woke up this morning with a really bad headache too. ugh...I read some yesterday but as the afternoon went on I was unable to because I was all congested and my eyes hurt. I took some Aleve as soon as I woke up (5:20) so I feel better and my throat is even a lot better, so hoping to "catch up" on some of my reading today.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well Vicki. I hate having sore throats they are awful. I hope you feel better soon.

There's no rush. I only plan on reading 5 chapters a day.

15 chapters in.

Lissa (view spoiler)[it's nice that she wants to help Rose by learning how to fight and is willing to try and change Dimitri back. I liked the scene with Christian goading Lissa into punching him. (hide spoiler)]

Dimitri (view spoiler)[I'm not surprised that he is using Lissa and Christian as bait. Rose will always try to save her friends. I hope that if he is saved we don't have to wait until the end of the book for that to happen, I don't particularly like things being dragged out. (hide spoiler)]

Thanks, Amanda. :)

20 chapters.

Dimitri (view spoiler)[I am glad that we did not have to wait through the whole book for him to be changed back. I underdtand his fear about being around Rosr. He is ashamed of what he did and can't forgive himself. Now I assume we will be waiting through the next book for him to forgive himself enough to be with Rose. (hide spoiler)]

So far this one is better than the last book.

Let me know when you all start the last book in the series. I am currently reading it, but put it on hold and read a few in between. I'll pick it back up when you start cause I would love someone to read and discuss with!!

I love this series! Sad I'm almost done!

Finished.

Rose (view spoiler)[wow on trial for murder. I am interested to see what will happen with her trial in the next book. I am trying to figure out who framed her. Right now I have no guesses. (hide spoiler)]

Dimitri (view spoiler)[have to say that he is getting on my nerves a bit. All this keeping Rose at a distance and saying anything that will keep her away. I get he can't forgive himself , but it's not like he had any control over what he did. I am sure that in the next book he will come around, but I am tired of it being dragged out. (hide spoiler)]

This one was pretty good. I definitely enjoyed it more than the previous book and found that it moved at a steadier pace.

WOW, you went quick Amanda! so sorry I haven't been here!
I'm starting tomorrow!

Can't wait to see what you think :)

10 chapters

it's good so far

I completely agree(view spoiler)[ the way she's treating Adrian is awful. He deserves someone who is really going to give him a shot. I'm so sad he's putting so much effort into her when she's just stomping all over him. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ i loved reading the letter Dimitri sent. It was twisted but kind of funny. He's so odd now that he's changed (hide spoiler)]

Letter (view spoiler)[I agree the letter was twisted I liked it too. (hide spoiler)]

15 chapters

I'm so glad this one is a faster pace than the last one!
it's going good

(view spoiler)[ I hate that Dimitri abducted them. I agree, though. i don't want this dragging out. kill him or fix him.....but don't just drag out the outcome for 500 pages (hide spoiler)]

I know (view spoiler)[I really hate when plots drag out forever. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 20

I love this one so far. So sorry that I haven't posted sooner, but I knew (view spoiler)[there was no way Rose was going to kill Dimitri. LOL I think she would die first. It was funny to me how even though he was her "enemy" when he touched her she couldn't help but respond. (hide spoiler)]

Oh, and I totally agree about (view spoiler)[the letter. I loved it and I love twisted things. LOL (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 26

I meant to stop at 25 but just couldn't. WOW!

Rose (view spoiler)[actually did it! I never thought she'd actually kill Dimitri. Although, I think he's still alive. She either missed his heart or something because he CANNOT be dead!! (hide spoiler)]

The one scene (view spoiler)[

Christian (view spoiler)[ and Lissa broken up? Rose being "pushed" out of Lissa's head by Avery? So much happening to keep up with! (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to see what happens next!! (hide spoiler)]

Done!

I really liked this one and the action in it.

Rose (view spoiler)[is finally back with Lissa, which I'm happy about! I can't believe her father is Abe. And now we are back to Victor...not a good guy! Wonder how this will go down. (hide spoiler)]

Dimitri (view spoiler)[is still alive. I knew he would be. I'm glad he's coming back because the optimist in me still believes that he and Rose can be together. (hide spoiler)]

I'm done too.

wow, that one was long

Rose(view spoiler)[ I still don't like her. I'm kind of frustrated by all the stupid situations she kept throwing herself into with Dimitri. if she just gave him time....she's just so freaking demanding and everything is about her (hide spoiler)]

Lissa(view spoiler)[ I was surprised by her response to Dimitri. I'm glad it's not romantic but yikes (hide spoiler)]

Dimitri(view spoiler)[ I'm ready to smack him. how could he 'devote' himself to Lissa and think that's okay.
I wish Rose would just let him wallow (hide spoiler)]

Adrian(view spoiler)[ I don't like how he always reminds her that they aren't the same - and in the long run, I don't think they work well together - him being all royalty and her not
but I wish they could. I'm kind of done with Dimitri (hide spoiler)]

Oh my gosh! Did anyone read any of my posts in this thread? I ask because I didn't see my rating like it normally shows and I checked and realized that ALL of my comments in this thread are for book 4. LOL Embarrassing!!! Guess I'm a book behind. LOL Ugh.

I agree these books are too long. They could easily cut 100 or so pages from them.

Dimitri (view spoiler)[he was irritating me too. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry you didn't care for this one Trisha.

Oh no Vicki, I've made a similar mistake like that before too. I will be around to chat for when you do get around to this one.

ha! I wondered...... :)
no worries! I can't wait to see what you think of this one then

Oh, and it's totally okay Amanda. I don't think I've liked one from this series yet....lol
