Evernight Series by Claudia Gray - Reading from 'Evernight (Evernight, #1)' from August 7th 2018

[Sarah Elizabeth]

p14 "they always wanted me to end up with a nice vampire boy"

That's funny!

I found that very patronizing too. When Bianca went without blood, he kept saying he'd help her soon.. but he really didn't grasp how the hunger felt.

[Abi]

P164 - Oh, Balthazar! :) (view spoiler)[ But, urgh. Here comes jealous Lucas! ... Jealous Bianca was enough. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Exactly. then he says 'you've no idea' - actually, I think she might.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

p17/18 (view spoiler)[ you are freaking joking me! he's a newbie vampire, he hasn't even had his first feed, and he's going to have a chat with dear old mommy-the-vampire-slayer and her slayer buddies? He's nuts. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "p17/18 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yep, suicide mission much? I stared at the book for a coupel of minutes, just thinking "Wait.. what?!? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "Sarah wrote: "p17/18 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

madness! does he not know his mother at all?!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

p40 (view spoiler)[ it looks like lucas is one of the hungry ones? he hasn't even had a feed yet!! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

P64 (view spoiler)[ I can't believe that she told Lucas to bite her when she knows that wraiths and vampires don't mix! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

P78 (view spoiler)[ I actually think it's quite cruel that she didn't show her mother that she's not totally gone. Surely she can see how much her mother is hurting. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "P78 [spoilers removed]"
(view spoiler)[ I was thinking that too. They both done the opposite really didn't they? Knowing what his mother was like, Lucas shouldn't have gone to her. Seeing how much her mother and father were hurting, Bianca should have gone to them. I know her parents weren't exactly angels, but all what they wanted was for her to be their daughter for all eternity, and not see her die. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It did seem a bit mean to let them suffer.

[Abi]

Going to try and pop a little bit of this in today. Will most likely finish tomorrow morning though. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I need to try and finish today really. Got a busy day ahead though it seems!

[Abi]

I've only got 150 something pages to go though, so you never know. :)
I really want to try and finish today, or at least get close enough to finish it first thing tomorrow.

Right now, it really looks like Bianca and Lucas won't happen.. but you know they most likely will! So i'm really interested to see how she's going to turn it all around again.

[Abi]

P218 (view spoiler)[A way to stop bloodlust? That must have something to do with trapping the Wraiths. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

P236 - Whaaat?! (view spoiler)[ Not for one minute did i think Christopher was Mrs Bethany's husband! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Just finished! It was good at some points, but i really think Hourglass was the best out of the lot.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm still at page 170. keep getting interrupted. Have to say that I like the fact that the author actually acknowledges that Bianca and Lucas have had sex. I get so sick of these books where they're all perfect little virgins who want to wait 'til they're married. I just don't think that's realistic.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "P218 [spoilers removed]"

That was a bit of a weird one.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "P236 - Whaaat?! [spoilers removed]"

I didn't either. Don't know where that one came from! I just got to that point and i was like 'really?'

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "P164 - Oh, Balthazar! :) [spoilers removed]"

I thought that was quite funny. Think I'd have been trying for a better look!

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Abbie wrote: "P236 - Whaaat?! [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I was like that too, but i actually liked it. I still don't like Mrs Bethany, but i really thought that showed her humanity. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

(view spoiler)[ I suppose so. It's a bit odd this wraith+vampire = human, very clever though! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

P320 (view spoiler)[ I can hardly believe after all the whining in the first book that she's now lamenting over never seeing evernight again! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Aah, I really liked the end ☺

[Abi]

Out of the four, which one would you say you enjoyed the most?
I did enjoy Afterlife, but for me, Hourglass was the best.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm not sure, it's definitely between Hourglass and Afterlife, although I think I liked the ending to afterlife more than anything. I think they're pretty much tied for me! ☺
Think I will read Balthazar at some point in the future if I can find it cheap!

[Abi]

Me too, I love Balthazar. :)
I bought all four for under £10 on Ebay, So it might turn up cheap soon. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think I paid £2.75 each for the first 3 from a charity shop, and then £2.41 for the fourth one new. Balthazar is still about £6 online though so will wait for that one!

[Abi]

Yeah, I paid about the same for each. :)
Have you seen the German cover for Balthazar?

[Abi]

The first one was released in 2009, With Afterlife being released in 2011.
Balthazar was only released this march, which explains why it's quiet expensive to the rest.
Hopefully in a couple of months time, it'll go down. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh, I thought it was released in march 2012.
Have you seen the spanish cover?
Those feathers get about!

[Abi]

Oh wow, that isn't original at all.
I really hate those covers that everyone uses.. There's so many possibilities you can use, why go for the overused ones?

I like the German one the most, but the normal edition was nice too, I like how simple they are.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think I prefer the german one, it's a bit nicer than the creamy coloured one.

[Abi]

The German cover for Stargazer freaks me out a little bit!
I do love the Balthazar one in German though.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can see that! bit creepy! I think the UK ones for books 1,2, and 4 all look really really similar - just different colours!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie and I will be reading on November 7th ☺

[Abi]

Starting Balthazar now. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't really remember skye. (view spoiler)[ was she one of the lesbians? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "I don't really remember skye. [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ She was the one that had a crush on Lucas, and then Balthazar. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Abbie wrote: "Sarah wrote: "I don't really remember skye. [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ and i think she was the one that sacrificed herself for Bianca in the last book? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "Abbie wrote: "Sarah wrote: "I don't really remember skye. [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

I don't really remember and I have that one in paperback so I can't easily search it!

6% (view spoiler)[ Balthazar says that Black Cross are still giving Lucas and Bianca trouble, but why would Black cross be causing them trouble when they're now a ghost and a human? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

15% - Finding this one boring so far. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm kinda bored as well :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

16% (view spoiler)[ it's only just sinking in how dangerous this is?! she's being hunted by a freaking vampire! Is that not dangerous enough?! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "16% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It's like she's expecting someone to say "You're being hunted by a vampire? April fools!" Get a grip Skye! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

28% - Really bored. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

25% (view spoiler)[ he's substituting for the history teacher? thrilling. not. (hide spoiler)]
