It's actually funny that I have already read 130 pages just this morning. Work might be more beneficial for my reading.

Although, I'm with Melissa on having work just fade away :)

the series is getting better - she's not being such an island anymore. A few moments but not big huge chunks - if that made sense. I'll comment in our buddy thread

[~Melissa~]

@Chris - so how did you end up liking/not liking ??

[Catherine]

~Melissa~ wrote: "@Chris - so how did you end up liking/not liking ??"

I did! I haven't read enough KA to know if this was darker than the others, but I liked it fine. I though it was good, and will definitely read more. I'm a total sucker for an alpha-male. I think Feb could have been a stronger character, but that was sort of the plot. She wasn't my fave. I was sort of surprised when I found out that the characters were as old as they were - made me feel a lot better :-). There's hope for us old folks!

It is darker than most of hers. It wasn't one of my faves by her but still good. I didn't really feel the connection between Colt and Feb like I have with her other books. Some you just connect with better I guess. Glad you liked it!

Thanks Chris and no worries. It's a lot to read all of our posts/comments and then get it all correct when you transcribe to your spreadsheet. Plus - I've been known to have a mental day and add incorrectly :)
