I'll read more tomorrow! :D"

Just finished chapter 3.

The seance (view spoiler)[ That was really weird. I wonder what it was that came. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Oh....
ch 11 beginning...

is Clarence (view spoiler)[ the necromancer?? Hmmm...today he is green and tired. AND he knows her brother....

ugh...and I kind of liked him :(
I hope I'm wrong.. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm done with 15 chapters

ch 13

OMG I love it (view spoiler)[ even the zombies visit the library!! can you imagine how smelly and dirty those books would be? I guess I'd stop using the library if the dead starting walking! LOL! (hide spoiler)]

ch 15
I wonder who (view spoiler)[ delivered this new letter...... (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

done through 20

Empress (view spoiler)[ it's silly, I know, but I normally hate nicknames....but I love that he calls her Empress. I think it's so cute because, I think because of the time period, I don't imagine him saying it with a HUGE sarcastic tone. Just a little flirty. lol (hide spoiler)]

Ch 16:

Daniel (view spoiler)[ WOW! I didn't see that coming. HE's the one that made the explosion that ruined her father and, ultimately, her family!!! holy moly... (hide spoiler)]

ch 17

OMG she is so funny! When Eleanor said (view spoiler)[ “Honestly, Mr. Wilcox, do you hear yourself? You insult me at every turn." I laughed so hard I almost dropped my kindle!! Hilarious! he's trying to confess how much he enjoys his time with her and all she can do is be insulted and argue! lol (hide spoiler)]

Elijah (view spoiler)[ okay, Clarence seems genuinely scared.

is it Elijah that is the necromancer?? Ugh, that would break my heart :( (hide spoiler)]

and (view spoiler)[ do you really think all those boys are dead or is Elijah going to kill them all at once?!? (hide spoiler)]

wow!

[Kathy]

I didn't get much reading done today with all my running around and having to work. I work an early shift tomorrow so I'll have more time to read then! Yay!

I'm in the middle of chapter 10 and I can't read anymore so I'm going to bed after my quick post!

Joseph (view spoiler)[ What is it he does to the dead when he gets in the water? And what happens to the remains after a showdown like that? (hide spoiler)]

Elijah (view spoiler)[ I'm with you Trisha! What in the world is he working on! Is it his father's work or something else? It was never said what his father was working on to begin with! (hide spoiler)]

The dead (view spoiler)[ Since they can't go to Laurel Hill Cemetery, what do they do with people that have died? Where do they bury them? I hope Eleanor doesn't have to face her father as one of the dead! That would be awful! Or Elijah! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm done.
this was amazing. I loved it

Elijah (view spoiler)[ I know! Aren't you so worried for him! Ugh, to have to fight him as undead?! I can't even imagine!! (hide spoiler)]

Joseph (view spoiler)[ they do tell you, really soon, how all his stuff kind of works. it's pretty interesting! (hide spoiler)]

Miss Fitt (view spoiler)[ I still love her! lol I thought she was so great. Headstrong and polite but not going to take any guff! She's hilarious! (hide spoiler)]

[Chelsea]

I'm glad you liked it! I hope that I like it too! :)

I was thinking that too! But then I also thought (view spoiler)[ Maybe it's her brother! Elijah is reading those grimiores? And I think Clarence was one of those boys that picked on Elijah at school. Clarence has two friends that have been killed and Clarence thinks his life maybe in danger because he's got Willis his 'footman'.

Wasn't it brought up that he went to the same school as Elijah? And I got the feeling he was hoping she wouldn't make the connection, which she didn't!! Is he getting revenge? I don't want him to be the bad guy!! It would be easier for me *pointing to myself* if it was Clarence! I know you don't want it to be him, Trisha, but I like Daniel better and I don't want another triangle!! You know how they drive me nuts!! lol! (hide spoiler)]

Another thing I'm wondering! (view spoiler)[What is Daniel going on about Clarence not knowing that he is there in Pennsylvania? Did Daniel also go to the same school? How do they know each other? (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

15 chapters in

Daniel (view spoiler)[ I hate it when he calls her Empress! It's like he is reminding himself that he isn't well off as she is. I still like him though. What is going on between him and Clarence? (hide spoiler)]

Eleanor (view spoiler)[ Why would her brother say that? She hurts him by being with the Spirit Hunters?? That doesn't put me at ease with my theory! And Clarence! I he losing his mind? Is it just paranoia and sleep deprivation? (hide spoiler)]

Joseph (view spoiler)[ He kicked that spirit's butt!! Elijah gave her those earings. Did he do something to them? Is that why they had such a powerful energy? Again not good for putting him in a better light! (hide spoiler)]

Elijah (view spoiler)[ It could be revenge against those boys that bullied him at school, but with this new thing about the Gas Ring, it has to be more than that. Like maybe it has something to do with their father? And that can't be good because if he is the bad guy then who is to say that he wouldn't raise his dad??? Oh, this is not going to end well for Eleanor! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I normally hate nicknames (view spoiler)[ but for some reason I loved this one :) (hide spoiler)]

Clarence (view spoiler)[ i know, he seems pretty bad off, doesn't he! Sleep deprivation seem to be making him crazy! (hide spoiler)]

lol I"m so glad you're enjoying it!

[Kathy]

I tried to post earlier before I went to work, but I was having internet problems.

I'm at the end of chapter 22

Empress (view spoiler)[ I like your reason better! lol! And I like it better than 'Princess'!! It's just when he was calling her all those names I thought he meant it as derogatory. But now I think it's sweet! (hide spoiler)]

Daniel (view spoiler)[ He feels so bad though about the whole mess of him being involved and everything! (hide spoiler)]

Miss Fitt (view spoiler)[ I don't like her! lol!! I hope my opinion of her changes since you said you did like her though! (hide spoiler)]

Elijah (view spoiler)[ OMG! He is nuts!!! And he wants to bring his dad back???? OMG! That's where I am right now! I had to leave off at that part reading in my car before going into work!! ACK!! (hide spoiler)]

Miss Fitt (view spoiler)[ Oh no! You don't like her? I think, for me, I always thought of her as flustered and naive but headstrong and stubborn

and i always heard a flirty kind of banter between her and Daniel.

Ugh, I hope you like her soon. I hate reading a book when I don't like the main character (hide spoiler)]

Elijah (view spoiler)[ OMG, right?! He's CRAZY!!! He was so far gone I was always worried what he was doing!! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh and the whole mess with Daniel

(view spoiler)[ the details of how that all went down

wasn't that crazy?? what a mess and how awful for her father. :( (hide spoiler)]

Ok! You're gonna laugh at me!! I thought when you said Miss Fitt you meant her mother!! LOL!!! :D

(view spoiler)[ Yes! I love her! She's funny and headstrong, but I think she's brave too! I mean to challenge the spirit at the library the way she did?? Yeah!! I like her a lot!! (hide spoiler)]

I thought Trisha meant her mother too LOL.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OH LOL! Her mom!!! yeah, she kind of sucks

lol sorry to confuse everyone hahahah!!!!

[Kathy]

No that's ok! I should have seen the Miss and not Mrs. And she did suck! lol! I'm done too!

Spirit (view spoiler)[ I kept thinking it was her dad, but then I would think that can't be right! And Marcus having Elijah's body? Crap! That bites! (hide spoiler)]

Elijah (view spoiler)[ I'm sad that he was the bad guy! That was just not right! (hide spoiler)]

Eleanor (view spoiler)[ What was it in their blood that makes them able to do that? Maybe they will elaborate more in the next book? It was really cool though! (hide spoiler)]

Daniel (view spoiler)[ What does he mean he doesn't love her????? Pish!!! Why did he do that? And they're leaving! Dang it!! (hide spoiler)]

We must read the next one! I need to check my library!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yes!!! I'm dying to read book 2!!

[Kathy]

OMG! Have you read the synopsis? I'm afraid to. I don't want (view spoiler)[ another guy to come into the picture! (hide spoiler)] I'll check my library tomorrow to see if it's in yet. I we had it on order, but I don't know if we have received it yet or not.

[Kathy]
