Melissa’s Comments (group member since May 09, 2018)

Melissa’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I can also cover the house book if no one else is doing it ... I'll read .

Just downloaded ; 203 pgs.

Maybe next time around the mods can add a new task that is made up of graphic novels only to accommodate us comic lovers ... like "hanging with your mates" - read x number of graphic novels.

Ch 1 - 4 (view spoiler)[ I'm totally unhappy that Curran is conveniently spirited away to some far off hunt and then Hugh shows up. Of course he does. (hide spoiler)]

Jennifer/Desandra (view spoiler)[ I'm over this drama already. Why does Jennifer even want to hang on to the Alpha role? If there is a peaceful option to step down, I don't understand why she wouldn't just take it. She has to know that she is not what's best for the pack. (hide spoiler)]

Robert (view spoiler)[ I really like that we are hearing more from the rats. I think it's really interesting that we are seeing some of the tension in the ranks. I really hope he isn't the mole - it would be too obvious. (hide spoiler)]

Ghastek (view spoiler)[ I wish I could have seen his face when Hugh calls Kate his girl ("That's my girl.") and when he said, "It's his will. Let it happen." (hide spoiler)]

Soooo... I ended up reading this in almost one sitting.

The best thing about this installment is that (view spoiler)[ the humans (hide spoiler)] are the bad guys... (view spoiler)[ fanatical nutjobs trying to commit genocide is so scary to me. Freaking Shane, who Andrea thought was her friend and worked alongside her for years, was secretly a crazy cult guy. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ted turns out to be a high-ranking member of The Lighthouse Keepers. (hide spoiler)]
