Everything the doppelganger has done has been fucked up but this is next level! On the other hand, it is a demon, so, I guess this is business as usual?

Why do parents always think you're dead in a ditch when they can't reach you? My mom used to say the exact same thing to me when I was a teenager, lol.

I'm glad Bree finally believes her, but why did she tell her the password over the phone? She & Ash came up with it IN PERSON for a reason!

I've been liking Ash more & more, but knowing he's rescuing baby animals has completely won me over.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this, but I'm enjoying the fast paced, creepy & kind of funny vibe it has.

I really hope there isn't a third act breakup, but things are going TOO good.

They make the sweetest couple! I love how much they care about each other.

Charlotte certainly made a mess of things. I hate that Marin feels like she's somehow to blame. 💔

Well, that was surprising. I definitely wasn't expecting anything that just happened.

Please tell me that didn't just happen! My heart is breaking!

I think Serena is crushing on Leo, which is surprising considering what a bitch she was to both Ophelia & Serena for most of the book, but they actually make a good match. I'm glad Ophelia & Gemini made up too even though things seem bleak right now.

Every time I think Ophelia is finally going to figure out she's being manipulated & come to her senses, I'm disappointed again by how naive & stupid she's being.

Serena wonders why Ophelia didn't confide in her, why she didn't trust her, but she was never around for her to talk to. She also went back on her word more than once. And Ophelia isn't the only one who failed to share important details with her sister. Ever since they joined the coven, they've been disconnected from each other instead of becoming closer like they should have.

I wish she & Serena would talk & compare notes before either of them make a reckless decision, but since they aren't on the same page, I guess it probably wouldn't help.

I know Ophelia can't trust Niobi, but I don't get why she thinks she can trust everything the dark Pisces tells her either. She doesn't even seem to get that she probably only told her about the book because she hoped it would turn her. And before Gemini appeared, (which is suspicious AF), she was actually thinking about freeing her while she's still dark! How dumb can you be?!!!

I'm starting to wonder if Ophelia can trust Gemini. I think she genuinely cares about her but she's also loyal to their leader & trusts her.

For sisters who are supposed to be so close, it's as if they share a soul, it's amazing how much each of them has failed to tell the other. They're finally together but ever since they got there, it's like they've been on separate paths, hardly communicating with each other at all.

I really hope Libra is wrong, but knowing what her power is, it doesn't seem likely. I'm already invested in Gemini & Ophelia & I really want to see where things go between.

I can't believe that Serena didn't just trust her sister without needing proof, over a woman she barely knows!

I kind of figured there might be more to the story regarding their mom, but I can honestly say I didn't expect that. It does explain a couple of things, but it also begs more questions.

I can't believe I didn't finish a single book in August & only 2 books last month. The past few months have been difficult & I've had a hard time focusing. All I want to do is disappear into a good book, but no luck. My baby, a mini doxie, is almost 17 1/2 & he was diagnosed with bladder cancer 1.5 years ago. He's my whole world. I don't know what I'd do without him....

Ok, I clearly need to go to bed. I meant 30% not page 30.

Oops. I fell asleep & must've accidentally hit the "I'm finished" button.

The vampire rules in this are a little odd. You can be born a vampire or turned into one by being bitten & in rare cases, from being enthralled by a vampire. They can have kids with humans, who will be born as either a human or a vampire. Weirdly, shapeshifting is a possible vampiric power, (who, according to Sylvia, the actress who played Lorelai on Gilmore Girls has!)

I hate that Sylvia's pushing her away. She changed their dynamic, knowing the risk, yet she acts unfazed & let's Aster believe she's the only one struggling w/how she feels!

"Sylvia could reject her in every way—she could drain all the blood from Aster’s body in one long drink—and Aster would forgive her. Aster could die and she’d haunt Sylvia as a ghost, holding her hand wherever she went without her even knowing."

Another Quote:

"Vampires, with their perpetually renewed lease on mortality, can afford to never consider the big questions at all. That was the great irony of it. The more life you’re given, the less motivated you are to live it."

Quote I liked:

"There’s a certain sort of cold distance one develops towards other people when you’re born human, and then become a beast; when the life you know and the people inside of it slowly grow old and die, and you stay in place. It’s like becoming an inanimate object, in a way. A rock, a stone. Life does not happen to you, but around you."

Why does it seem like everything goes wrong at the same time? I found out that my breast cancer came back & I had to have a 2nd mastectomy & implant removal surgery in June. Now I'm having complications & there's like a 30-50% chance it will come back in the next 2 years. Plus my dog is sick, my back pain is getting so much worse & I have too many decisions to make & way too much anxiety to do it.
