Thank you Nichole! that's honest and more objective than what I was saying. But I do still feel like and asshole... That hasn't changed ;( And my mother could handle the content of this book easy, (I wouldn't recommend it to her though, cuz she's very into mystery and thrillers...) And yes, there was some heavy shit going on in TTTW but I still got the love-conquers-all vibe. Maybe that's why I got so aware of my doucheness... LOL

I noticed your comment on Prey, I'm patiently waiting on mine to arrive. Was it better than the last book?
Yes, I liked it better. There's still room for improvement, I still have problems with several things. But definitely it was less annoying this time... Anyways, not my favorite series, as you can tell, but decent enough to keep on reading.
