Me either - I love her!!!!

[Sami]

I actually have Changeless!! Sadly I haven't read the first book yet, if that comes to my library before July 8 I'd love to read this with you.

[Becky]

Ok. I don't think it will be THAT big of a deal Sami, the first is just how the 2 main characters get together - it's great and you should read it, lol. But I'm not sure you HAVE to read it in order to read Changless.

What do you think Amanda???

[Amanda]

I agree, I don't think you have to read the first one to be able to read Changeless. Like Becky said it's mainly about how the 2 main characters got together.

[Amanda]

So excited to start this tomorrow :)

[Becky]

Hey Amanda! Me too!!!!

[Becky]

Amanda, any particular format you want to follow or just check back every 5 chapters or so?

[Amanda]

We could check back every 5 chapters if you want to.

[Amanda]

I am 5 chapters in so far.

Alexia (view spoiler)[ I loved her encounter with Major Channing Channing in the first chapter, it was so funny. I loved when she started hitting him with her parasol. (hide spoiler)]

Conall(view spoiler)[hmm... what is this going around that caused him to not be able to turn back into a wolf. Interesting (hide spoiler)]

Felicity (view spoiler)[I am already annoyed with this character, she is so snotty (hide spoiler)]

I am curious (view spoiler)[what this virus going around is and why it's causing the supernaturals to turn normal. (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

I won't get to start til tonight after work, but I'm really looking forward to it. I apologize in advance if I'm a bit slow. Have my kids this week and some family stuff going on, but I'll be reading, I promise!

[Amanda]

That's fine Becky. I have to work tonight too, so I won't be able to read more of this until late tonight.

[Amanda]

10 chapters in so far

Ivy (view spoiler)[she is really dense in this book. Alexia is hanging off the side of the ship and all Ivy thinks of the matter is how undignified that she is being not even realizing that Alexia is in danger, and when Tunstell was poisoned she goes on about how undignified it would be for him to empty his stomach. Ugh she really needs some common sense. (hide spoiler)]

Conall (view spoiler)[It's quite interesting how he is basically mortal right now. I want to know what is causing the supernaturals to lose their ability and who is behind it (hide spoiler)]

Alexia (view spoiler)[she is so feisty I love how she challenges everyone. I also want to know who was the person on the ship that intended to poison her and also try to knock her off the ship (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

I came to apologize for being a poor BR friend to you amanda, lol. Normally I'm so on the ball, but I haven't felt well since Saturday night and I've been going to bed super early.

I haven't abandoned you even tho that's what if feels like, I'm sorry! I'll post as soon as I can!

[Amanda]

That's okay Becky, no worries.

[Amanda]

Finished this was pretty good.

Alexia (view spoiler)[Wow she is pregnant. Interested to see where the plot will go from here (hide spoiler)]

Conall (view spoiler)[I can't believe him at the end of this one, that he would even question her on that and then she gets kicked out. I mean there was some time in this book that he was "human" during that curse, maybe that may be the reason or another that I am overlooking at the moment, but he was out of line to accuse her of cheating. He has some major apologizing to do in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

Can't wait to see what you think Becky. Just a heads up do not read the synopsis of the next book in the series it will spoil the ending of this book.
