This was surprisingly good. (: Let me know if you guys want to read the second! I have it already but didn't read it yet.

Vicki, I hope you'll be able to! It's so fun reading with you! You always seem to know what I'm thinking about the story and characters when I can't get my thoughts straight! lol! :D

[Becky]

I have to procure a copy then I'll join you!

[Kathy]

[Becky]

I have to decide if I want to spend $8.74 on the ebook...... ugh

It sounds sooooooooooooooooooo good. I guess i'll bite the bullett! :-)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Well someone put a hold on this one so I had to return it to the library! :( When I do get around to reading it I will come back and discuss!

[Becky]

Those silly book nerds, lol!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

LOL!

[Becky]

I placed a request to order book 1 and book 2 at my library, so I may wait to read this. I'm a bit overwhelmed with books right now anyway.

Maybe you and I can hop on the archived discussion when we both have copies. How's that sound Jacquelyn?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

That sounds good, Becky! :D Just let me know when you can get them and then I will order mine back as well!

[Becky]

I'm still trying to get a good handle on the time and place of the story. but it's great so far!
I have to finish 2 other books and then I'm back to this one :)

[Kathy]

I haven't started yet, but I plan to pick it up tomorrow! Sorry! :(

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ch 6:

Eleanor (view spoiler)[ OMG I love the image of her fighting the zombies and beating them in the kneed caps with her parasol! LOL! (hide spoiler)]

Joseph (view spoiler)[ so he is a conductor. and water helps.
that's pretty cool! (hide spoiler)]

Daniel (view spoiler)[ is the brains. looks like he makes things (hide spoiler)]

Jie (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad she was there to help Eleanor! she's an awesome fighter!! (hide spoiler)]

ch 7

Clarence (view spoiler)[ I rather like him :) although I think he lies...about everything! (hide spoiler)]

Corpses (view spoiler)[ they are changing? getting stronger? Is it just the necromancer or are they waking up on their own??

and why were they after her? Trying to touch her? grab her?

it's all so strange. I can't wait for some answers (hide spoiler)]

ch 8

Elijah (view spoiler)[ whatever he was into, it sounds worrisome.... missing pages, people not cooperating and then attracting too much attention. was he continuing their father's work?? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 9

Daniel (view spoiler)[ LOL! dropping from trees with a sickle. these boys are crazy! (hide spoiler)]

ch 10

Hmmm... Spirit (view spoiler)[ I wonder if they haven't seen the spirit because it's visiting her mom while she's with the Ghost Hunter people.... (hide spoiler)] ut oh....

I'm really enjoying this!
I'm stopping at 10 chapters tonight and hope to finish it tomorrow :D

Me too! I like it! It's really creepy I'm wondering (view spoiler)[ if Elanor's brother is being held by the guy who is controlling the dead? Or if it's really the dead that have him? Either way it's bad! *shudder* (hide spoiler)]

(ch 1 spoil..."

I know! But I loved (view spoiler)[ how she just stuck out her chin and went to grab the note! She's very determined and I like that about her! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I like her too!! (view spoiler)[ she is so headstrong! she's great so far! (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

I'm 3 chapters in

Clarence (view spoiler)[ I don't like him! At all! Something weird about him! Doesn't set well with me! He seems really shifty! Who was he talking to at the front door of Elanor's house? (hide spoiler)]

Allison (view spoiler)[ Don't like her either! She's spoiled and rotten! (hide spoiler)]

The seance (view spoiler)[ What was that thing?? What have they done by bringing it into their world? It was really creepy! What is it going to want? (hide spoiler)]

I'll read more tomorrow! :D

[Kathy]

6 chapters in

Eleanor (view spoiler)[ She was kicking some undead butt! And Jie seemed like a pretty cool kid! (hide spoiler)]

Daniel and Joseph (view spoiler)[ At least they know now that she wasn't lying about the spirit! But what does it want?? (hide spoiler)]

I have to run some errands and I have work, but I'll read more before I go in and post later tonight!
