Greed by Fisher Amelie, Start Date: November 21st 2013

[Rachmi]

Gather ‘round, love, because I want you. I want what you have, I want what you don’t have, I want more of what I already have. I want. But if you so much as ask for something in return, go ahead and walk away. Know if you want to play in my world, it’s every man for themselves and the weak become mine. Leeches will be obliterated because I make it my job to destroy them. I protect what’s mine and I take what’s yours…because that’s what I do. I want.

My story will not endear me to you and, frankly, I could care less if it does because I’m in this for the money and nothing else. There’s nothing redeeming about me. I’m a corrupt, money hungry, immoral asshole from Los Angeles. I’m every man’s worst nightmare and every girl’s fantasy.

I’m Spencer Blackwell…And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most coveted guy to the guy no one wanted around and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Jenny and I will read this second book of The Seven Deadly series tomorrow, November 21st. Everyone welcome to join us.

[Jenn]

Thanks :) excited too start this!

[Rachmi]

Same here, I love Vain and can't wait to read about Spencer seems he's so nice in Vain.

[Rachmi]

I'm starting it now :)

[Rachmi]

Chapter one: (view spoiler)[I think Bridget is pregnant. And...... When I got out, I wrapped a towel around my waist........, jacket and wallet in my Kiton pocket square I don't think I need to know Spencer's daily routine THAT descriptive, describe in two long paragraphs (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ Didn't he think the police can still recognize his car even when he ran away from the crime scene? (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 5 ---> true, probably more should've come of that.

Chapter 7 ----> (view spoiler)[ I had a feeling she was pregnant too. Guess we was right. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14 ish ---> just love how (view spoiler)[ Spence is taking care of Bridge. He does have a kind heart. (hide spoiler)] And i just met Cricket. :D

[Jenn]

Actually these are chapter 13 spoilers ---> (view spoiler)[ she has a man already? That was a nice touch & twist that i didnt see coming. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Same here, I love the way (view spoiler)[ Spencer takes care of Bridget and agree with him. She better knows how much he love her :D (hide spoiler)]

I'm in the middle of chapter 15 now and yes, I've met Cricket. I have the same thought with Spencer. I thought (view spoiler)[ she is a dude :) (hide spoiler)]. I guess it's a good move the author didn't mention who Spencer love interest is in the blurb.

I also wondering (view spoiler)[ what Ethan and Cricket relationship is. I think it isn't a lover relationship since Cricket is Spencer's love interest and Ethan will be the one on book 3. If Ethan and Cricket relationship is lover kind of relationship or Ethan loves Cricket but she doesn't love him it will be like Spencer and Sophie in Vain. I don't like it, so I kind of wish there is more to the story than they being a lover (hide spoiler)].

[Rachmi]

End of chapter 17: apparenly (view spoiler)[ Cricket and Ethan are an item since childhood. I don't think I like this, it's just the same old story as Spencer and Sophie (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

End of chapter 19:(view spoiler)[ Spencer uses "anything sexier" too much for my taste. It seems everything Cricket does are sexier than anything in Spencer's eyes :) (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[ I'm wondering whether Spencer's father has anything to do with many calves dead (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

I am just to the start of Chapter 21 now.
And I actually like Ethan. (view spoiler)[ I keep waiting for him to lose his temper, but nothing happens. Like I thought it'd be Ethan that loses it on the driver that almost hit them. And I didn't realize that Ethan was the MC of the next book. Makes me excited.

Also, I really like August.

And, I don't mind that Ethan and Cricket are childhood sweethearts. I am just ready for them to dive into & explain that relationship. Cause she kisses him, but doesn't appear that she's in love with him

Also. something is up with Cricket. Like she may be ill? Not sure yet, but that's my first guess.

And I like Bridge and the fury that's treating her so well. Even though, I guess that's not very realistic...i don't seem to mind at all.

And finally, I do like Cricket and Spence's relationship. It's cute. Haha, and yeah, he does keep think she is sexy! And perfect. That could get old. But at least it's not all on the same page. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

I like August too and kinda wish he has his own book :)

But for this story, I don't know I can say I like it because I don't quite like it, though it isn't bad either. (view spoiler)[ Actually, I don't mind of Cricket and Ethan being a childhood sweethearts either, it's just when they have a relationship like that, it's like similar to Sophie and Spencer in Vain but in this book tells from the hero, instead of heroine while I wish I will get different story. And it will be a repetitive in next book, about Ethan who left behind, wanting Cricket who doesn't want her but then will get his love interest. Makes me don't quite eager to read book 3. And yes, I also wonder what is actually happen with Cricket and Ethan that makes her feel has to be loyal to him (hide spoiler)].

[Rachmi]

End of chapter 25: (view spoiler)["Because I'll catch you when you least expect it" Out of his anger, I was wondering if he will call Spencer's father and tell him about Spencer (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

End of chapter 32: You were right, Jenna (view spoiler)[ Cricket is indeed sick and Ethan want to help her (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

I finished it! unfortunately it was't my cup of tea :(

[Jenn]

Hey...I'm about 60% through with this. I'll catch up soon...then we can chat bout it.

[Rachmi]

Don't worry Jenna, just take your time. How you liking it so far?

I'm reading another book now and wondering would you buddy read ?

[Jenn]

Uh....yes!! I'd love to buddy read that!

[Jenn]

And I am enjoying Greed. Not as much as Vain. But still a lot. Sorry it wasnt your cup pf tea.

[Rachmi]

Yeah...I guess I'm the only one who didn't like it :( My other friend who just finished it love it and gave it 4 stars. I still want to read Ethan story, though. Hope I will like it.

When do you want to read Sexy, Smart, Secritive? I'm fully booked next week so I can do it on December.

[Jenn]

Sure, we can start this in December! Maybe the first or second,..still working on Greed. I got sidetracked yesterday.

[Rachmi]

I thought you have already finished Greed?

December 1st or 2nd would be great, I'll make the thread later. Thanks for willing buddy read it with me :)

[Jenn]

Just finished it a few mins ago. I enjoyed the end. And I'm also curious bout Ethan's book.

[Jenn]

And anytime, friend!. Buddy reads are great :)

[Rachmi]

Ah.....I can't wait for Ethan story either. Did you see the cover (I think it hasn't the final cover) of Fury at the end of the book? I like the model on the cover, I think he suits for Ethan :)

[Jenn]

I did see it! And I agree :) It looks like a great fit :D. The author released a teaser for Fury. but I've not read it yet.

[Rachmi]

I even didn't know there is a teaser for Fury :) But I try to avoid teaser or ARC review or anything else before I read the book. It often makes me wanting more or spoil my reading.
