Gisbelle | 25787 comments OMG, same book?! I didn't realize that :D Cool!


message 4: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 4 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments Right?! I know! H20 is the US title...I guess.
I'm not sure why they changed it.....

This one sounds freaky. Could you imagine if the rain could kill us? Man...it rained almost daily in Oregon lol

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I take it this isn't our Halloween read? I would've read this with you girls, but I doubt I can get it in 2 day.:o(

Enjoy!


message 6: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I saw Rain a while back on NetGalley and it was available for UK readers only.


message 7: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Yes, it's scary if rain could kill. YIKE!

Vicki, maybe next time :)


message 8: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Anyway, I have the ebook version and just my idea, I think Rain cover is much prettier than H20 cover.

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Well, you girls will be able to tell me whether or not to read it. LOL

Trisha | 30284 comments I know, I noticed the rating too Yikes!

I only have this because I got a physical ARC from my sister-in-law :)

Is this out in the US yet??


message 13: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Yes. I think it's probably from a different publisher.

message 17: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 4 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments Okay
I'm in my phone so I'm. Just going to vague post about it all

5 chapters
But OMG how frightening

She is so lucky for the parents.
And the car ride. I'm scared for the other group

And :( oh Casper

It's freaky. I'm reading this outside in the forest listening to the thunder if a storm pass nearby (luckily it's not raining)


message 18: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Alright finished chapter 5

It rained last night here lol... Kind of set the mood :)

I agree that it's frightening and gosh what happened to Caspar was so awful.

So far I liked the storyline, but the writing is so not for me. Very messy.

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments How cool that you are both reading Rain and you both have the perfect setting! LOL


message 20: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Lol yeah, especially when the book is about how rain could turn people into bloody mess hehe


message 21: by Vicki (new) - added it

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Sounds so gross! LOL Gross and Good?


message 22: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Very gross so far. Personally, I don't like the writing and the main character much. But it's still too soon to judge :)


message 23: by Vicki (new) - added it

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I hope you end up liking it!


message 24: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I'm so sorry, Trisha. I couldn't find anything that I liked about this book, so I dropped it. I hope you enjoy it.


message 25: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 4 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments no worries Gisbelle. I plan to finish it
I agree, the writing and the character are a little silly
but I'm about 150 pages in so I'm going to see how it goes

sorry this one wasn't for you :(


message 26: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Thanks Trisha :) I still hope you like it


message 27: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 4 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments I'm through Part II now

a lot has happened.....

but the rain, it's still killing everyone :O


message 28: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Sucks to hear that she's still so childish. But I do love the concept of this book.
