bookshelves: jan-2011, favorites
Read from January 17 to 19, 2011

15 hours of reading, stopping only to take care of the bare essentials for my 4 kids... Does that make me a bad mom, or Karen an awesome author? Well, for me, it was satisfying to read ShadowFever. My head hurts from all the twists and turns and suspense and wonderment. I finished last night around 11pm, then hit the sack.

Master of Red's Ms. Karen Marie Moning, this one's for you!

I'm completely amazed at the brilliance of foreshadowing and red-herring's that Karen writes.

Without spoiling anything, it was nice to see that my speculations back in 2008 were mostly right and boy I Bet VP is pissed!!

I will probably post some spoilers in a few days. I have to get it out!

“You're Mac," he says. "And I'm Jericho. And nothing else matters. Never will. You exsist in a place that is beyond all rules for me. Do you understand that?"

“I'm not good, Mac. Never have been.'
What-true confession time? my eyes tease. Don't need it.
'I want what I want and I take it.'
Is he warning me? What could he possibly threaten me with now?
'There's nothing I can't live with. Only things I won't live without.”

“And here we go. She's bristling and my hackles go up. Bloody hell, I feel fangs coming on. Tell you what, Ms. Lane," Barrons said softly, "Anytime you want to have a conversation with me, leave the myriad issues you have with wanting to fuck me every time you look at me outside my cave, come on in, and see what you find. You might like it.”

Karen Marie Moning
“Some people wouldn't see a traitor when they looked at me. Some people would see a survivor. Call me anything you like—I sleep fine at night. But you will look at me when you say it. Or I'll get so far in your face you'll be seeing me with your eyes closed. You'll be seeing me in your nightmares. I'll scorch myself on the backs of your eyelids. Get off my back and stay off it. I'm not the woman I used to be. If you want a war with me, you'll get one. Just try me. Give me an excuse to go play in that dark place inside my head.”
Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“What part of 'directly' didn't you understand?"
"Same part of 'play well with others' you never understand, O cantankerous one," I muttered.
He laughed, surprising me [...] "I'd be a lot less cantankerous if you admitted you wanted to fuck me and we got down to it.”

Alyssa (Hesperia Loves Books) I agree...and according to her FB page it's going to be a long book, yeah!!!


mrsj Dec 7th now?? This is good!!


Erika  Badass Confirmed By Karen, but it could change again


mrsj ahhh... it's good.. it's good..


message 5: by Dawn (new) - added it

Dawn Woo hoo! Now I just have to figure out when to start re-reading from Book 1, so that I finish right before the release date (but not far enough in advance to be further torture)!


Erica C'mon, November!!!


jessa ♥dhanger♥ EvilDarkSide Aw, man. I was hoping for August!


mrsj January now???


MsMiz (Tina) WAITTTTT it is supposed to be December. Naw....no way...they CANNOT DO THIS!!!!!


Regina When she begins her next series, it will be hard, but I am going to wait until 3-4 are out before I read them. If each of her books are separated by a yeaer or more and they have these crazy cliff hangers, I just can't do this again. And I only started reading her this January. :)


Dorsi Regina, I couldn't have said it better myself! Although I feel her Fever series is one of the best series ever written, the cliffhanger crap is a bit much. Way too much in fact. I will wait until every single book of the series comes out before I buy ANY! LOL I can't do it again.


Alyssa (Hesperia Loves Books) I thought the same thing about VP - I'm really curious to see what she has to say about it all.


Tarra My family had cereal for dinner and the laundry is piling up! My husband doesn't "get" how I can blame a book! Lol!


MsMiz (Tina) Erica - if you were able to feret out the twists and turns of this book back in 2008, you are brilliant beyond words!


Erika  Badass Tina, there were a few things that I speculated on that were true. I was way wrong when it came to Mac and Christian.
I was right about Rowena.
Right about V'lane Boo Ya Viking Princess!
AND right about who the UK was, too a point, but not all the 'parts' LOL
I didn't know what Barrons was, still don't but was convinced who he 'wasn't'


message 16: by MsMiz (Tina) (last edited Jan 21, 2011 05:09am) (new) - rated it 4 stars

MsMiz (Tina) You are so good! I was surprised and I was surprised as to why Barron's wanted the book. I was SHOCKED by V'lane and the Queen and in all honesty, I did not even give one thought about who the UK was.

In otherwise, I was completely shocked by the book - oh and Dani....that was huh....


Erika  Badass Yea I didn't know about Dani, or why Barrons wanted the book, (That was a huge shocker!!) and the queen was a totally interesting and unexpected twist. Which was awesome.


Alyssa (Hesperia Loves Books) Dani completely blind-sided me & V'Lane to a point. I always knew there was something he was hiding just never expected it to be THAT! The Queen was also a total shocker and then Barrons...ahhh, as if I needed a reason to love him more!


Cindy That was truly inspired!
