So I thought there's going to be something.. but she's married, and Ben pretty much hates women so... yeah, it makes sense. I like that we learned more about him, I don't remember if it was mentioned he was in IT. I liked reading more about him, too bad it was to short. (hide spoiler)]

I'm gonna read the Redemption story too.

I don't know if it was because I wasn't able to organize myself to read normally, but I feel like the whole book was a bit all over the place? It could also have something to do with not really remembering what happened in the previous books.

Overall it was good, glad we had some Asil here.

😂 Fae zombies this is new one.

I feel bad for Mercy, she again lost her free will, thankfully nothing bad had happened.
I liked that she was able to take the silver through the bond and help Adam and the pack, it's too bad it's a skill she won't be able to do again. Or maybe she could but taking out the silver out of her body.. ouch.

I just finished chapter 10, and I don't know if I'll be able to finish the book before going to work so maybe I'll finish it tomorrow. Wow, it's all about the vampires.. I didn't expect that. I'm intrigued who is this vampire person that is bonding the ghost to themselves, and why they are doing it, and also how Peter hasn't moved on and Mercy can still feel him through the pack bond which I assume has something to do with her ghost ability. I wonder if other's can feel that he's still connected, probably not.

I started the book! I didn't look up the previous books because I'm feeling lazy and would much rather watch Veronica Mars than read 😅 😂 but like you said there's a recap so I kinda remembered what happened. And yes, I'm glad we are reading all the books in the universe, so we know the other book's characters.

It looks like the pack can't have a minute to breathe in peace, there's always something happening to someone. I'll see how I feel about it by the end, but I think that because it's a longer series I'm getting a bit "annoyed" that in every book some big catastrophe is happening... like I get shit happening and we need things to happen for the book to be interesting but it feels repetitive in one hand.

But moving on.. Asil appeared here! I'm excited to see more of him. I read only 5 chapters, and maybe I'll pick it up a bit later to read more, but no promises.

😂 thanks for telling me that I have to know the ending of the previous book, because I don't remember it. I looked at my list of the books and haven't checked the last book we read and I thought we were supposed to read an A&O book.

I won't be starting this today, soon I have to go to work, and after I get off I'm just going to bed. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have time to start it.

Hey team, I added another sheet to the team spreadsheet where we can put the books we think of reading for the prompts. Just claim a column and fill it with books. And if you see something a teammate has on their list you want to read/would like for it to be a BR just add your name under the "Buddy Reads" so that they can see and you can potentially make BR plans.

I don't have time to add my books now, hopefully I'll be able to add them soon, but here's my Fright Night shelf IF you would like to BR something, although be warned I probably won't be able to BR much or at all in the first-ish half of the month.
