[Sarah Elizabeth]

After forbidden games reread, cinder and scarlet, my average rating has gone up to 2.79, Highest it's been in ages!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 7 (view spoiler)['depends which store we're in.'
does she have any idea how unprofessional that sounds? these strigoi are a real threat, and this may well happen, and she's making jokes? that is very immature and unprofessional. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Mine is holding steady at 3.47. I'm nothing if not consistant.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

*Animal cruelty warning*

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "*Animal cruelty warning*"

Ugh. Why do i always get the ones with animal cruelty in, on the same day?! :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

only 223 pages to go :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ so lissa has some weird ability where she can raise the dead? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Chapter 4 - Looks like we're in the minority again Sarah. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

and more animal cruelty.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

you're bored too?

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "you're bored too?"

Yep. By the looks of your updates, it doesn't get better any time soon either.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm so bored. looking forward to finishing.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ so what i understand is that Lissa is also 'shadow-kissed' which is this ability to bring things back from the dead? and the more she uses this ability, the worse it gets? so now rose must take lissa away from the academy, before someone realises what it is that she can do and comes to take her away.

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ well considering that she's just been in heaps of trouble with the headmistress over running away with Lissa, you'd think that she'd be sticking by the rules a bit. not answering back and making a mockery of the bloke who's trying to help her! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Haha my average rating is 4.5 ish. Perhaps that will change as I read more books? I haven't read as much as you guys :P

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Maybe, maybe not. Abbie and I are fussy!

[rachel, x]

I'm pretty fussy too so don't worry. My average is only 3.12!! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't remember bloodlines being this bad.

[rachel, x]

Did you read Bloodlines first?? I thought you had to wait 'til after VA? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ what is she doing? why is she cutting herself? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ and what the hell is up with Mia? she slept with both of them?! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ she is so going to get expelled for punching mia like that. then what will happen to lissa? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I read the first book when the library had it in.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think the first succubus book was better than this as well, although that was pretty slow.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 21 - hmm, this might be finally getting a little interesting!

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 21 - hmm, this might be finally getting a little interesting!"

Ooh! 9 chapters to go, then.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ natalie is nuts. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ its sad that rose and dimitri can't be together because they have to protect lissa. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 15 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ That's what i understood from it as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

so glad we have a break before reading the next one. i really need it.

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 20 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I'm wondering that for most of the characters! (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

So fast! I'm starting sometime today!

[Abi]

Me too!

[David]

I'll be reading Shadow Kiss this month.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think that one is on the 23rd ☺

[Kate]

How can you both be finished reading this? You guys are so fast! I haven't even started!! :(

[[deleted user]]

Don't worry Kate I have not started either. But I ask myself the same question. How are they done so fast? I'm starting later tonight!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

ha ha! we're fast readers. We've both read two more books each after finishing this one.

[[deleted user]]

I would say I'm a fast reader but I need to find the time during the day to read.

On average how long does it take you to read a book? Do you just sit and read?

[Abi]

It depends on how long the book is, and how good / bad it is. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm at home most of the time so i have time to read. We're in a totally different time zone to you though, we're just about to go to bed, so if we'd waited til now to start we wouldn't have managed to read much at all.

[[deleted user]]

That is true. My life has also gotten a lot more crazy with school, work, an internship. I'm actually about to take a break from my school stuff while the kids I nanny are napping to read a few chapters.

[Kate]

Oh, I just noticed that you and Abbie are both from UK. Haha. I wish I weren't so busy either! I just have a lot of things going on right now and I can't make reading my priority. *le sigh*

[Sarah Elizabeth]

when I'm not at home I don't manage to read much at all. I think I only managed about 2 or 3 books in 2 weeks over christmas.

[[deleted user]]

Kate I hear you on that. However I'm doing better then I thought with how many books I have been able to read. Luckily I don't need too much sleep. So I can get a few hours of reading in at night.

[[deleted user]]

When I'm on break I read more books. My main goal is to read a hour or more every day. I can't go a day without picking up a book.
