(Currently on P21 of274). Wasn't looking for a romance, but this story is set in Illinois, which is where I live.. But that Queen General lady is going to give this gal an ulcer.😂

It's nice to revisit old friends. Rereading the first three books before moving on to Claire & Emily's stories and then Jackie's. Book 1 will stir up old emotions: I really feel for Sophie (Who we hear from again at the end of the series!). That she was cheated on and also betrayed by one of her "girlfriends" didn't sit well with me the first time.

Roughly 18 percent in and I'm already seeing just how a cult like fundamentalist religion systemically grooms its members to conform to standards of conduct and behavior that in some, not all cases are difficult to maintain. It seems in their church's worldview everything is black and white no grey areas or wiggle room for free choice. The parents can choose, the kids not so much. Sad.

I am truly hoping this book gets better because frankly as someone with a Journalism degree, the plot twist of sending a reporter back to their hometown to investigate something, as a tool for one upmanship is, may I say, boring. Up and coming authors, avoid this like the plague. Played out!

Finally people are acting like mature adults. However, new problem. Grace's family!!! I've heard of closeness but geeze Louise! I don't know if I could stand my siblings making snide comments and prying whenever they misconstrue something or see the odd PDA! No wonder she moved away! Also, what's with the continued secrecy! High school is over, why should she care what people think!

Grace's mom and Reed's aunt seem to be very sensible women. Let's hope their wisdom gets through to the young adults. I've been patient about building dramatic tension, but these two have to start acting like grownups soon, otherwise I give up! MS. Foster is usually not this sloppy in her writing.

PLEASE tell me this book gets better!!! So far the premise seems so juvenile. 28 and Grace is acting like a high school girl! Already I hate Sable. I am more like Pepper, whom the mother points out will be 80 with a house full of gadgets. I say leave her alone! She obviously knows more than the rest of her sisters. No ordinary man will suffice.

Such a sad, tragic plotline for both Tohr and NoOne. Neither one of them deserved what they got. I identify with her so strongly. Feeling as if you are unworthy in a society that doesn't accept disabilities, and cruelly rejected by her family for a violation that spoiled her purity. Still, much like Lassiter she was granted redemption. This HEA is going to be one that is painful, but worth it!

Okay, I'll amend my hatred for Lassiter...a little. He's trying, although for right now it's for self centered reasons. Does he care at all? Don't know. IDK, I just feel if he's doing this to get himself out of Purgatory, he ought to be working harder, not acting so lasse faire about the sitch. After all, he's dealing with two people who are wounded.

For the record I hate Lassiter At least Jim was interesting and Adrian, for all of his toughness was likeable. This angel annoys me, but I have so many questions that need answers. Like what's in it for him to save a vampire? I mean as if he doesn't know humankind is locked in a battle of good and evil. Isn't his job there, and why did he stray?

This book disturbs me, but it also makes me think too, which is weird. However I think parenting has become more difficult.

This book is gripping!!!!!! I absolutely have not been able to put it down!!!! Dorothy was an iconic media and journalistic talent in a "man's world." It's just a shame that dark forces would try to silence her for telling the truth!!!

Loving this book!!!! It is a through and methodical look at a talented, yet complicated musician!!!!!!!

The cases featured in this book are truly gruesome. Could do without the flowery writing style which reminds me of early 20th Century novels which one might find via Internet Archives. Most of these women truly don'y deserve to have their misdeeds romanticized like that.

Waiting for the action already. Nobody has made the connection with Cait yet?!? Love Cissy but seriously????? Let's get on with it!!!!! Don't like GB thus far. Duke seems like a badass, but perhaps he'll improve.

Loving Cait already. She seems like a girl after my own heart!!!!! She's trying to break out of a sheltered life and a broken relationship by being more bold. I think out of all the women thus far, she may be the one females identify with most and fall in love with from the start. I'm really rooting for her HEA.

So far, not too preachy, which is good since I practice alternative belief (Taoisn), Strong wise advice translates well to both young and older single women.

Devina, sigh,,,,that's one hellofa bad demon. How the heck does she get around so much???? Obvi, she can't fly. I also wonder if the angels know her mirror is her portal, the why not just smash it and burn the fragments????

Okay, guessing there's going to be a huge convo over the bar incident. Of course I knew from page one the obvious solution, truth, wasn't going to work, that something was going to mess it up. Hope this guy steps up to the plate. If he weren't a noncomittal jerk to begin with, this wouldn't have happened.

Thank god we're moving on...2 or 3 pages, and that's a conservative estimate of pondering on the world of business and finance, left me sleepy and bored. Now we're talking about travel, both real and metaphysical, definately something to think about.

I get emotionally invested, so when Jim, and by the same token, Ad get pissed off by Devina's scheming, cheating ways and the 4 Lads do nothing, I get enraged too. Love Dog though, LOL!!!!!!

I don't care if Quinn is a Wendell. There's nothing wrong with a geek girl getting a little hot passion!!!!! After all we have to work harder at everything social and sexually/romantically!!!!! You go Janie!!!!! Bag that man!!!!
