[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Great XX, Nichole. I tried reading that before and just couldn't get into it. I have heard great things about the series so I should really try again at some point.

[Nichole]

I gave it 3.5 stars. But I see the potential for it become a favorite series for me. As a reader, I really like screwed up characters and Dex is just cray-cray.

Oh, I missed that part. That just isn't realistic for me, so I'm out.

Yeah, we really should make two different challenges one year. But then, maybe people would only do the 'anything goes' way. LOL!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Of course, I've thought of doing a second challenge the 'anything goes' way this year, as I've read several that could apply.
