Ahh really looking forward to this. I hope it's as good as the first (:
Same! And exactly!! I really loved the first one and I just hope I like this one as much! (maybe even more!)
Yay, tomorrow :) I'm gonna say 5-7 chapters a day because from what I gather we're both as busy as one another! EXCITED! :D
I was just thinking about this today! 5-7 chapters a day? Perfect! This might be a buddy read I can stay up with! We're busy! I AM SO EXCITED TOO! :D
So glad I finished a book today otherwise it would have been 3 books at the same time D:
LOL! I am currently reading another book too but two books isn't too much! 5-7 chapters is doable!
Yeah definitely. Anyways, I've just got in and need to go to sleep so I will speak to you tomorrow when I get home from work :D
Okay! Right, 5 hours ahead! LOL! You're my friend from the future! heheh! Alright, I hope the book is good! :D
Can I join in on this? I was actually planning on starting this book today.
Tori, excellent! You've read the first one, correct? And Katie and I are planning on reading anywhere from 5 to 7 chapters per day!
Yes I have read the first one. do we come and chat about what we have read at the end of the day?
Yeah, come and chat whenever (: I'm a little bit behind due to being busy at work and an impromptu night out last night as well! Must catch up today and I'll let you know - I've read 3 chapters so far, seems to be repeating a lot of what happened in the first book so far!
I hope you can find some time to read. (:
I am about 3 chapters in as well and I agree with what you said about it being kind of repetetive.

Yes, I am behind as well! I'm almost done chapter 2! So far it's just repeating stuff from book 1 and giving us some info on the people so they can come back to us:D I forgot some of the characters :(
Oh me too, luckily it wasn't too long ago I read Gone! But yeah I was like oh yeah I remember him, aha!
Yeah! I might need some help remembering some of the characters :D
Tori- When did you read Gone?
I've finished 10 chapters this morning, where's everyone up to? I'm liking where this is going, it's interesting seeing everyone reacting differently to the 'hunger'
I'm only on Chapter 3 but I'm going to read a ton today:D Sorry, all of this unexpected stuff happened! I can catch up though!
Don't apologise, life happens :)
Thanks for understanding! I wonder where Tori is!

Sorry, I have just been really busy.

Is everyone here?? I would like to discuss this book a little and I have a few questions about this book but I would like to know what page everyone is on so I don't spoil anything... I am on page 114, I wish I was farther but like I said, I have been busy.
I'm about to go to bed (damn you time difference) but I'll be able to reply later :) I'm about 136 pages in at the moment!
Haha well I guess goodnight then.. :) How are you liking the book so far??
I'm not anywhere near you guys are! I had work tonight so I didn't have time to read. I will read a little before I go to bed but I will try to fully catch up tomorrow! Sorry I can't stay up with you all- life is just too hectic! I'm liking it so far though!

I understand completely.. It is hard finding time to read when you have a jammed-pack schedule... I am really liking this book so far!! It is getting very interesting where I am at.. I hope you can find some time to read! :)

This book is getting really good and interesting!!!! Does anyone else (that has the american cover) notice that the spine gets creased and the edges get frayed very easily?
Tori- OMG, yes! It's so annoying! Okay, after I ask this I will probably be very embarrassed! Who is Bug? Are they referring to Sam? Sorry, I'm just very confused!
Haha don't be embarrassed. Bug is one of Caine's "minions". He is just a supporting character.
And do you know who Ellen is?? It mentions something about her and Edilio. I don't think she plays any important part but I was just curious.

Thanks Tori! Okay! Makes a lot more sense! I am only on like page 40 I think so I haven't even heard of Ellen! Sorry that I can't keep up with such a simple task! :(
Haha it's no problem. Life is busy. I totally understand. I am about 300 pages in and it is getting really interesting. I am hoping I can finish tonight but that might be a bit too much to ask.
300 pages in?!?!?! I wonder how far Katie is! LIFE IS BUSY! LOL!
Haha I just realized that I may have read a little bit more than we said we would a day. But I can't help myself. This book is so good!! :)
That's fine! Better early than late! (like me...!) Thanks again for explaining who Bug is! It makes much more sense now. :D
Lol Oh no problem. I was actually confused myself.
Really? Okay, now I don't feel bad!!
I just had a random thought: I don't really feel a connection between Astrid and Sam. I haven't from the start of this series. Maybe you guys don't agree with me but I kind of feel as though their relationship was just randomly thrown in there. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
Now as you brought that up....It does seem like their relationship was just randomly thrown in there to maybe stir things up or make things better! Usually, (if they are really meant for each other) I will feel it and know that they belong together but the more I think about it I never felt the connection between Sam and Astrid either! Good point, Tori!
I was just randomly thinking about that and thought I would get your opinion about it. Glad we are on the same page!
Yeah....their relationship is kinda weird! I can't wait to hear what Katie thinks about it.
Sorry ive been away. But i totally agree with you guys, i don't feel any connection whatsoever between the two of them as it just seems to be put in there because it NEEDS it when it clearly doesn't! I need to read some more today :)
Yeah, that's how I feel Katie! Where are you in the book? As in page amount!
