YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Evil always seeks a foothold. We must not give it one.

After a heartbreaking loss, Lou, Reid, Beau, and Coco are bent on vengeance more than ever before—and none more so than Lou.

But this is no longer the Lou they thought they knew. No longer the Lou that captured a chasseur’s heart. A darkness has settled over her, and this time it will take more than love to drive it out.

Up to "La Coeur Brise"
(view spoiler)[Ahhh I miss Lou so much, I just want Nicholina to be gone!
I wonder what those seeds were that Madame Sauvage told Reid to plant, at least they got the pearls so hopefully they'll be able to save Lou before she forgets about them all!! (hide spoiler)]

I'm hopefully starting tomorrow! Can't wait to see how it'll all go, kinda scared for Lou XD

Ahaha my thoughts exactly

Up to “Sticks and Stones” pg. 327
(view spoiler)[ Oh my god you have got to be kidding me! Reid just forgot about Lou and now wants to kill her, I’m gonna cry again. AND literally right after Lou came back to herself, like whyyyyy??? Are there gonna be any good Lou and Reid moments in this book….
But really glad Lou and Coco got the closure they needed from Ansel’s death.
Also excited to see these merpeople or whatever they’re called in action! (hide spoiler)]

Up to “A Single Spark” pg. 514
(view spoiler)[ Well I’m glad Reid doesn’t care that Lou is a witch anymore and has essentially fallen in love with her again, it makes me so happy. But like now they might die (which I really don’t think will happen unless Shelby is a monster) Ahhh I remember Shelby saying 4 people die in this one so yes I am very scared. Please I’m praying they’ll have backup, Coco, merpeople, warewolves anyoneee, or maybe Reid will fix this ahshahfsjsfwwhn. (hide spoiler)]

I'm starting now aaah!!

Up to "The lighthouse"/10%
(view spoiler)[ I kinda forgot what happend in the last book, besides that witch taking over Lou of course. I forgot why the witches who took over Lou wanted her to go and find Morgane? At least we know that Lou is still in there, and still fighting. I hope they figure out that something is wrong with her soon. I forgot what exactly was up with Cloud as well, I’m going to reread my review of the last book real quick 😂 And what is up with that white dog? Does is belong to the witches who took over Lou?

Ew I remember not liking Célie, I’m hoping she doesn’t become an important part of the story. Reid knows that something is wrong with Lou though, I hope they figure it out soon!! I’m glad he hasn't slept with her though.

Right, I’m slowly remembering now, I remember creepy Nicholina damn. I forgot exactly how crazy she is though lol. There are a lot of people in Lou's head, how many did Nicholina inhabit?? Damn, I hope Nicholina dies soon. (hide spoiler)]

Ah yes same! (view spoiler)[ I'm thinking that the pearls will help them out or something, I don't know! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yes :'( It was all finally starting to be okay again, I just want a happy moment for like one second :((( I liked the little bit of banter that we did get right before he sacrificed his mind or something, that was cute, I miss them :( (hide spoiler)]

Up to Angelica/40%
(view spoiler)[Aaah Thierry is alive!! He was with the traveling company right? They finally know that Nicholina is Lou!! Yay!! It’s so terrible that La Voisin is working with Morgane, selling those kids (Etienne and Gabriella I believe) out like that & them dying because of it :(

Wow damn, Zenna is a dragon? That’s unexpected but really cool. Didn’t even know that dragons were a thing in these books😂😂 The way she forgot Madame Labelle, and then Ansel, and then Beau without realizing it, shiiiit. They better hurry up!!! I really don’t like Célie, she’s so freaking whiny. The way she’s distracted by everything is so annoying too, we’re trying to save Lou, not gamble or something argh!

Okay I don’t remember madame Sauvage 😂 Who was she again? Reid apparently met her before, so I'm thinking that we've met her before too, I just don't remember at all. I wonder what the seeds are for, I feel like they’ll help them out in a battle or something. Lou said herself that there was something else inside of her, and now that madame said something about her blessing: so what’s in her? Aaaah can't wait. At least Coco and Beau finally kissed, although that might’ve made matters even worse between them. Still, I’m shipping them so hard.

Damn I actually feel bad for Nicholina now that we’ve seen a little bit of her past. She lost her son and husband :(

Wait what? Ansel was the dog? That scene was cute though 🥺 I miss Ansel :( And Lou’s back!!!!! Yay!! And is Coco evil..? I mean, she’s hiding something since Nicholina knew more about her, but what??? (hide spoiler)]

Sticks & Stones/53%
(view spoiler)[Damn I missed the banter between Lou & Reid.
Woah Coco is Angelica’s child??? Daaaamn dude. They were finally together, and now something happened to Reid?? Can we have like 10 minutes of them being happy for once 😭

The underwater world is unexpected. And woah, Lou is la Dame des Sorcières now?? Damn!! And how is she planning on just stealing back Angelica’s ring?

Aaaah it’s so cute that a true love’s kiss actually woke Reid 🥺No. No please don’t let this be happening. HE DOESN’T REMEMBER HER??? NOOOOO!!! I don’t want this all to start again, his hate for witches and stuff 😭 No dammit. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ omg, when reid woke up and didn't remember lou my heart dropped I was soooo sad and mad I literally had to put the book down for the day HAHHAH (hide spoiler)]

That’s such a mood😂😂😂 I’ll post my updates in the morning at a normal hour, it’s 3 in the morning right now and I just can’t freaking put it down 😂

The belly of the beast
(view spoiler)[I don’t get why they let Reid go alone, Célie should’ve gone with him to make him remember Lou, since she doesn’t really add anything to their group anyway. She should’ve went with him to make him remember all the memories with Lou.
Oh right and he doesn’t know he’s wanted, do they want him to die????

Lou’s new powers are really cool. I love that she’s trying to seduce him again, it all feels like book 1 all over again 😂😂 Nicholina didn’t sell them out, does that mean she’s joining them indeed? I’m pretty sure she’ll die at the end of all this but I do feel sorry for her and the way she’s treated.

Daaaamn so Morgane did forget Lou! Yay, at least one good thing came from Reid’s pattern 😂Wait what if the seeds are a way of getting his memories back? Dammit I can’t put it down and it’s so late into the night.

I loved the scene between Reid and Lou, he’s slowly coming back 🥺 I’m so glad we are getting back to the Lou and Reid that I loved in the first book and not the annoying ones of the second. Yay!!! I hope they’ll save madame Labelle but I’m a bit scared of this trap.. and if Jean Luc will actually pull through. (hide spoiler)]

Oh damn, I did not know Shelby said that!! I'm scared o.o

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Shiiit that was brutal!! They’re now dosed with hemlock Shiit, the plan is already going to shit again😂😂 Aaaah man I finally understand why she didn’t remember making Bas forget her! I never realized she gave up her own memories of him.

I’m crying holy shit. That stake scene was brutal, I was so scared they’d actually freaking die. BUT REID REMEMBERS HER AAAAAAH!!!! It’s nearly 3 in the morning now and I still can’t stop!! Even Jean Luc and Célie helped them and at that moment I actually liked them - I saw this whole movie scene in my mind's eye - I was actually picturing them all in that moment.

I’m not okay, Morgane of course knows her too now, so I’m scared of the battle. Shit I should sleep but I also don’t want to 😭
I’m glad the king is dead. And we got a cute Reid and Lou scene 🥺

Yay the melusines are here!!! Ah Angelica is dead :( But I’m happy Josephine is dead, and Nicholina finally stood up to her (and died as well but still)🥺

Huh. Morgane's death was kinda anticlimactic?😂 I mean we’ve been working up towards this moment for 3 books and now she just dies, first Célie injects her and then Lou just slits her throat? Idk, it was just over really quick😂

Aaah Reid got the ring back. And an epilogue from Ansel’s POV??? I’m tearing up🥺 That ending was so damn cute with the wedding and them all being happy🥺 And Beau is king? That’s a recipe for disaster😂😂 I did kinda need Beau and Coco to kiss so I’m sad about that not happening lol. And Madame Sauvage was Claude all this time?? I love that🥺 We finally got to see what the seeds were for. Damn I loved the book! (hide spoiler)]

Danique wrote: "Finished
(view spoiler)[ Yess I agree Morgane's death was anticlimactic, nothing really happened after and there wasn't really a lot of fighting.
omg Claud was Madame Sauvage??? I must of missed that haha I thought he just fell in the hole during the final battle. Same! I was worried the seeds would be forgotten about since it was so close to the end, but I love the pear trees (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Loved that epilogue! It was so cute that it was told by Ansel's pov and that they saved a seat for him, so cute! I'm glad Reid and Lou are now officially husband and wife, and I couldn't ask for more (hide spoiler)]
