YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Mercenary Kate Daniels narrates a surprising trip with her bite-me humor. The pack of her mate Curran, werelion Beast Lord, need rare medicine from Europe to save children who die from stuck shapeshifting. Europe offers them barrels of the drug if they guard a spoiled princess. Knowing the invite is a trap, of course they sail right in.

Can't wait for starting :)

YAY!!!! So excited to start this!

on page 22-23

I LOVE Curran and Kate so much!! Their dialogues to each other are filled with so much feels!!!

Page 24

Having Curran and Kate talk about babies gives me serious feels!!!!

I'm starting right now ;) (today has been a very busy pre-Xmas shopping day... Sorry sorry!)

Babies O.O I wonder if in the next books we will see any baby little Curran *_________*
Ok, stop daydreaming and keep on reading ;)

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[Well, it's definitely a trap... But I have no idea of what is really going on... (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[All that shared-dreams stuff is eerie... Do you think there's really Roland behind it? (hide spoiler)]

Vippi wrote: "Chapter 4
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I don't know. I mean does Roland even know about Kate? They may be just nightmares and since Julie is bonded to Kate maybe she was seeing the dream as well? It is all very mysterious.

And Saiman is joining Curran and Kate on the trip....this could be fun or abosultely regretful. But I am still excited!! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[To be honest I don't think Roland already knows about Kate. But Hugh surely does and I wonder what his agenda is...

Saiman+Curran? We'll see sparks soon :D For sure! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[What the hell did the weredolphin tell Curran?

I'm quite frightened of this book because all my friends keep saying that it is"terrific"... What will we face?! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[Lorelei. I already hate her. Wholeheartedly. :/
I have a bad bad feeling! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[Wait. HUGH?! (hide spoiler)]

I am so sorry for not replying before but I am on a college camp so I had no net pack before today.

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[ Omg this chapter itself was terrific. Where do I start. I have always liked Saiman and he suits the role of a captain. And Curran and Kate's conversations....the way he called her a 'knockout'...hehe...Then that weredolphin literally dug his own grave with that 'I will rape your woman' comment.

I want to know what secret Curran got to know...and the way he jokes with Kate about pulling her own weight and then after the fight asks her if she is okay gave me the feels!! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ Omg !! Hugh!! They weren't targetting Curran and the pack! It was Kate!! OMG!! And yes I don't like Lorelei as well. Maybe she was called to seduce Curran or get him away from Kate. Maybe they blackmailed her.

Whatever it is I have a bad feeling about this. (hide spoiler)]

RttSakina wrote: "Chapter 6..."

(view spoiler)[Yep. I was astonished when I read it. I though the target was the pack, too... Instead...
I still can't figure out what Hugh's plan is... I mean, he knows Kate's identity and where to find her... Why has he not attacked her yet? What is his agenda? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[ I hate Lorelei with whole my heart! She terribly pisses me off and Curran's behaviour is just the icing on the cake: why he let her stay so close to him?! It's so frustrating!
I don't doubt he loves Kate... But I don't like his behaviour nonetheless... Or better, I don't understand his behaviour... He must know that acting like this he's hurting Kate, so,again, what is his plan?*sorry for the repetitions! My heart is screaming and I need to give voice to my dilemmas (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7-8
(view spoiler)[ What is that creature?!?
And Curran and Kate feels!! I want a guy like Curran. I love him <3

Things are getting intense...I am so nervous! Can a book make you feel so much that you feel you will explode due to your raging emotions? YES! YES it can!! (hide spoiler)]

You've perfectly summarized how I'm feeling!
One million dollar question: Who do you think is behind the attacks?

Starting Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[Random thoughts:
• after all those revelations, I sympathize with Desandra... :)
• I still can't see Hugh's motives... He saved Doolittle, he had a "civil" conversation with Kate... It seems that he is more interested in her than concerned with her... I'm puzzled
• I don't know what those strange shapeshifters are... But if they are members of one of the clans, maybe they can check each clan and see if someone is missing, can't they? And one of Desandra's children is one of them! OMG! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I fell like its Hugh but Andrews has a way of surprising us so it can be a 4th party all together!

Also Raphael and Andrea are also so damn cute! The way Raphael tells Desandra that he isn't interested made me laugh! (hide spoiler)]

page 138

(view spoiler)[ Do you think that maybe this castle was in Rolands territory once or still is? The way Kate described the stones gave way to that possibility in my head. My mind is thinking of all possibilities and outcomes!! (hide spoiler)]

Sakina wrote: "page 138

[spoilers removed]"
It' surely possible. The problem with this book is that my mind keeps elaborating theories and hypothesis... There are so many questions and even more possible answers!

Halfway through Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Curran let the bitch Lorelei sit next to him. I hope he'll explain himself soon 'cause right now ai just want to strangle him! (hide spoiler)]

Through chapter 16
Finally one answer!
(view spoiler)[Hugh and Kate's sparring is priceless. I really enjoy that scene :) and now it's clearer why Hugh has set this meeting: he's really infatuated with Kate!!! ^.^

I still feel the urge to punch Curran into his beautiful face... But he must be up to something, isn't he? *please please tell me you think the same* (hide spoiler)]

Nooo you are so ahead!! Sorry I am at camp so my friends keep shouting stop reading!

But I am through chapter 9 :(
(view spoiler)[Firstly Kate is so jealous of Lorelei but I think this L is here to distract Curran. And Hugh is alone with Kate!! So worried!! (hide spoiler)]

Halfway to chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ Okay I didn't think I would say this but I like Hugh! The fight was so cool and what all he shared I hope was true. Anyways I like his character.

Also I am pissed at Curran for not getting away from Lorelei. (hide spoiler)]

Don't worry :D enjoy the camp (are you on holiday or is it a university camp? ^^), there's no hurry! I'm posting my comments just to keep track of my thoughts (and this book elicits somuch brain/heart-working!)

About L (view spoiler)[I don't know her true agenda. The only thing I know is that I hate her! (hide spoiler)]

Sakina wrote: "Halfway to chapter 10.."

(view spoiler)[I like Hugh too... And having to bear this Curran only makes easier to sympathize with him (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Ikr! I think he may be jealous of Hugh! (hide spoiler)]

It's a university camp. I want to read since things are so interesting and also buddy reads are very important to me. I feel like I am giving a bad impression. I am so sorry. My friends dragged me for this camp...otherwise I would have never asked for a buddy read. I am so sorry.

(view spoiler)[I hope it's not just jealousy... Otherwise if he reacts in this way every time he is jealous he is an idiot xD (hide spoiler)]

Don't worry! For me it's not a problem, really :) I'm really enjoying chatting with you about this book :D

Chapter 13

(view spoiler)[ I don't think Curran would be interested in anyone except for Kate but I do feel something is off.

Also I hate Lorelei. I knew she had an agenda.

And which shapeshifter clan do you think those winged creatures belong to? If some members or even one of the clan itself was a winged creature in shapeshifter costume then shouldn't the pack just check their numbers again since at least 5 winged creatures are dead.

And Hugh healing Doolittle made me like him so much!! (hide spoiler)]

We both had the same revelation! About counting the numbers! Yay !*high five*

(view spoiler)[I am pissed at Curran. I don't care if his attitude is a lie and is just part of his plan. I don't like it. And I think it's a plan because in the novellas remember when Curran is fighting Mahon he still catches Kate's scent and knows she is there. So that may be the case here as well right?

Hugh is suspicious. You are right he is more interested than concerned about Kate.

Also I hope Doolittle can walk again!! And the second clan Kate met seemed suspicious right!

Don't know what' s going on but the feels keep hitting. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[ The fight between Hugh and Kate was amazing. I thought Hugh would be more stronger but I guess Kate's only objective was kil and that is deadly.

So good Curran was jealous! I don't like his behaviour. Good Kate walked out on him. "It's not so simple" my foot. I am very pissed at him.
(hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ And the much talked about subject about Curran and Kate's marriage makes me think that they will get married soon or maybe Curran may propose by the end of this book. What do you think? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16



(view spoiler)[ CURRAN AND KATE!! THE FEELS!!! I WANT CURRAN!! I SO WANT HIM!!!

AND THAT LORELEI!! BITCH! I KNEW SHE WOULD TRY SEPARATING CURRAN AND KATE!! UGH!!

I am running high on emotions!! (hide spoiler)]

Few pages in chapter 17
(view spoiler)[Okay Curran and Kate are hitting me with feels!! (hide spoiler)]

Sorry Sakina, yesterday I didn't feel so well and I didn't log in on Goodreads...

Totally agree with you! The FEEEEEEEEELS *________________*

(view spoiler)[My rational part never suspected that Curran could be in love with the bitch.. But my not-so-rational heart was so pissed off and frustrated by his behaviour. And when he arrived in all his furry glory and explained his "plan"... Well, I melted. Literally. (hide spoiler)]

Epilogue
(view spoiler)[There are so many things to say.. But my brain seems able to process only one word: MARRIAGE MARRIAGE MARRIAGE! I'm so so happy and excited!
Ok... Beside the excitement...
•I'm really sad for Aunt B's sacrifice.. I really liked her and I suffered seeing how she immolated herself...
• I wonder what will be Hugh's next move... Do you think it's true that Roland wouldn't kill Kate? Who are the other "ancient beings" like Astamur and Roland?
• Christopher really surprised me.. And he saved the all trip!
• I'm glad that Desandra was welcomed by the Pack... She deserves a better life (hide spoiler)]

But the most important question is: when will we start the next book? :D I can't wait to see what will happen!

Epilogue
(view spoiler)[
I KNEW THAT MARRIAGE WAS ON THE CARDS SINCE THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT IT BUT IT STILL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS WHEN CURRAN PROPOSED!!! <3

There is so much on my mind...

Firstly Roland may not kill Kat but all we know about him comes from Kate and none of that says he would be fatherly towards her. But he may manipulate her.

Secondly I was so sad by Aunt B's death. I really thought she would survive. She was one of my favorite characters. I literally feel like crying.
Now Raphael and Andrea will rule in her place. So I am interested in that but I wish Aunt B wasn't dead.

I am so glad for Desandra. She deserves to be happy and the Pack will be a good place for her. I wonder how the winged child will turn out.

Christopher is surely an interesting addition and he saved the sacrifice of Aunt B I feel. And I find him cute! (hide spoiler)]

I am so excited for the next book! Will check.it out on Amazon and see how soon I can get it!

Thank you for the buddy read!! :*
