Stella’s comments from the Book Bloggers Anonymous group.

Since it is always difficult to keep track at what event the specific chapters end, this thread is to discuss the novel in its entirety. Feel free to talk about anything related to the novel, and don't worry about spoilers (regarding The Darkest Night, if you wish to discuss spoilers pertaining to the later novels, please state SPOILER), Thank you!

Ooh I just LOVED the first paragraph and how it started off the novel with such a powerful bang! Will ahve to look it up, I definitely wanted to include it ;-)

(and Felicia, I'll see where chapter 5 ended, btw, who was the narrator: a smoky dark chocolate voiced man? hm.. that sure would make for a yummily narrated story ;-p)

Yep, I heard everyone is exciting to know his story will be the next told! :-D

Also, who did you like more: Ashlyn or Danika (even though she was just marginally portrayed)?

I have to confess I am interested in reading DAnika's story, loved how fierce and feisty she was, and I bet there will be plenty of steamy and cheuckling out loud scenes with her and Reyes ;-D

Thank you Ladies! It was hard choosing just a couple of photos, but I'm glad if you got a little feeling of the city. :-)

I agree! It is always fun to see tidbits of ancient (usually Greek) mythology in modern paranormal novels, and like valkyries in Kresley Cole's series :-)

And what an original spin on Pandora's legend and how each vice is now controlled/controlling a warrior. In a way they are contained and humanity is proptected through the warriors' struggle and sacrifice.

Come join us on a virtual tour of Budapest, the city where the LOTU universe is set! Discover the sights of the city and the athmosphere with a virtual stroll through a few photos :-)

Start the walk HERE.

I'm so terribly sorry Felicia for not being active this month, the new job kept me busier than I would have thought :-( I have had the book on my Kindle since the end of December and still haven't gotten around to reading it :-(

There have been some changes: February BBA events are hosted by Natasha and the book is Nightkeepers by Jessica Andersen.

I'll be on "duty" (;-p) in March, I hope I'll do such a great job as you did!

I agree with you Tasha, the problem with your current anme is that I know at least 3 other blogs who have the exact same name :-/ I think you are still lucky to change after not such a long time, and I think it'd be better to establish your uniqueness now (especially if you have a new name you like better ;-p). I say go for it! :-)

Wow, I had a really nice and unexpected surprise: I ordered last Wednesday (or Thursday) The Accidental Werewolf from the Book Depo, and was a bit frustrated it still wasn't dispaztched on Saturday, but then it arrived TODAY! Miracle or what? I'm still perplexed.. BUt at least I'll be in time to read it for our discussion :-)

Yes, Mind Games is quite addictive, you'll devour it in a couple of days! :-)

For me a relationship without passion is lukewarm, and that was my main problem with Cubby: he was sweet and tender, a comfort guy but he didn't make Justine sizzle he just warmed her. But that's just me :-)

Before starting reading MInd GAmes, I kept seeing lots of blogs alluding to love squares in MG, so when I was reading it I kept looking for potential heroes to fill the points, and the 4th is definitely Simon :-) He is unique and there was some spark behind that snarkiness of his ;-p
