Catarina, nope, Maryah is still a POV but the other POV will be a different character.
How much of the book have you written so far? Also do you have any teasers for us? :)

I CANNOT WAIT!!! LOL! I'm such a fangirl for your stuff!

Fun fact: one of the very FIRST scenes I wrote for these characters has somehow ended up at the very end of book 2, and might possibly get bumped to book 3. Funny how that worked out.

Now i am realy intrigued to know exactly what it is that you first wrote for the Kindrily characters thats only going to be in book 2 or 3 :) so how exactly did that happen? Did you write the scene just knowing that it had those characters in it but not where in the books it would go?
Karen wrote: "Brooke, it's still so surreal for me to hear anyone say they are my fan. But thank you so much! *hugs*"Well deserved, my friend :) MWAH!
I'M SO EXCITED AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT! Maybe a little, but I AM UBER EXCITED. I love the Kindrily and want to be part of them. This such a great concept.I don't want to be your fan, I want to be your friend, so I could tell people I have an awesome friend from the US who writes mermaid novels and lovable characters and she met Ariel in real life! But yeah, I'm a fan. * squeals*
Will SNOWGLOBES be featured in book 2 ;) hahaha (Brooke and Karen know what I'm talking about) hehehe
Mod
Nickle, aww, I consider all my readers friends. *hugs* I want to be part of the kindrily too. I seriously don't know if I'll ever be able to stop writing books about them. That is one break up I don't think I'd be able to handle. Lucky for me, they live forever! Which brings me to Becca's question...
Becca, there will def be a third book. I will prob write about the kindrily until my dying day.
Heinzy, yup! The snowglobe scene has been written!

EEP!!!!!!
Is Harmony the other POV? I'm guessing she's the one in the.. uhm.. y'know. The one for.. ahm. XD
Mod
Can't wait! The Kindrily is such a heartbreakingly sweet concept. I would love it if it were true in some form in real life...
Downloaded the eARC copy last night on my smartphone and finished reading the book early this morning. Consumed the book! Really a good sequel, still alot questions to solve but hopefully the third book would let us in some of them. It's a good balance with all the characters, I like books with many of characters and how one can grow to like almost all of them, not only the main characters. I wrote a short review but nothing in detail since I don't want to spoil the story for others.

I'm so picky with books nowadays so when I find a good novel. I finish it within few hours, max a day. I wanted to rate it 5 star but since it's a series, I tend to want to wait til the end to give the final rating of the whole story. So far the story been really addicting =)
Ah.. maybe I should have read it slooooow cause now the wait for the next book would seem so LONG!
llng wrote: "Ah.. maybe I should have read it slooooow cause now the wait for the next book would seem so LONG!"LOL! Well, she did say it won't be as long of a wait for book #3, phew!
The Cover Contessa wrote: "LOL!

I'd better re-read the books before I devour the third book when it's released. ;P
Not sure what to read while waiting..so impatient. Haha.
