That sounds fantastic. I did a similar one on Carnival but instead of Jamaica it went to Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan. I would've preferred Jamaica. Have a fantastic time! At least you'll have time to read:))))

There are a lot of people that loved it. I finished it last night and it's just three stars. At some point I caught myself skimming the pages in order to get to the end. And I wanted to love it so much.

Ward ...enjoying the series but I gotta say, it was such a weak first book...almost didn't pick up book 2 and only did coz I already had the series on my iPad and cbf finding something else....anyway, glad now that I kept going coz it's turned into a good series, really interesting world....I'm not all that psyched about this next book though, Phury shits the hell out of me, but I just really wanna get to John Matthew's story so I'm steaming trough them!

I actually really like the insta-love when it's done right, I think it definitely works with the PNR genre in a lot of cases. Looking forward to this now!!

Oh I'm glad I wasn't the only one! lol Everyone seems to love it, I thought the writing left a lot to be desired. I did love Archer, but I wanted to slap Bree every other page!

Erin, don't worry. I was so utterly disappointed by it because everyone loved it so much. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I agree that the writing wasn't all that. There were a lot of repetitions and not just with the sex scenes. I had moments where I cared about Archer, but all over I wasn't fussed. And yes, Bree was so incredibly annoying.

Cozumel is beautiful. We went to a beach club where we could swim/snorkel. The hubby went scuba diving, but I was too much of a scardy cat. Just beware of all the fruity cocktails they shove at you on the ship. They are ridiculously expensive, but of course you have no idea until you get your bill at the end of the cruise. Hope you have a blast!

Oh I need to read that series. Got all the books but have had no time to get to them but I'm enticed to get stuck into them now after you mentioned it having the same feeling as Shatter Me series, which I LOVED!!

Yay!! It's pretty cool. Idk if all of you will rate it 5 stars but knowing its self pub and how well it's written this author has talent.

Me too, Tracy!! I mean, I still like jack, but I don't like him for Evie anymore. I just finished it and damn!!! That ending was brutal. I cannot wait for the final book. It's a good thing I have so many to hold me over.

Donna, I. Am. Dying!!!!!!!! It was so freaking good. Possibly my fav of the series so far. Death.... I am stunned at all that went down in the last 20 pages or so. I'm ready for Evie to own it and unleash the Red Witch:):)

Sylvia, you must bump this up. It is extraordinary. One of the best YA series in my opinion. And it does remind me of Shatter Me series. Not in the story,but the strong heroine and her coming into her powers. And of course the love interests;)

Oh no, really? I hated the team-switching with Adam and Warner so I don't know if I can take that again. Although, I had a serious infatuation with Adam and I'm not all that sold on Jack, so maybe it's not as bad??

There have been some books that I absolutely loved even though I know they were a bit insta-everything, because I just got swept away. Mark of a great author, I always say, but not everyone always agreed with me. So whether it's a 5-star for a lot of us or not, I'm glad you loved it and found one of "those" books, the ones that just make you *le sigh*! =)

Me too. I don't know why insta-love is such a turn off for so many people. Sometimes its not well written but when it is it brings me back to my crazy teenage years. Insta love actually does happen in real life. I was married to my husband after knowing him only 3 months. It s maybe not the wisest thing to do but people do it.

It was fun, but like I said, I didn't get much sleep. I ran around a lot on Saturday between the VIP signing and then assisting an author during the public signing. Then having to get dressed and help set up for the party a bit. Plus I got up early yesterday because I wanted to beat the snow and get home for my son's soccer game. Overall it was a lot of fun. I did post some picture on my FB page, but I have more to put up.

Let's face it, there are only so many pages you can put in a book to keep the readers interest and a lot of things are going to be intsa stuff. It's all in how the author writes it. At least that's how I feel.

Brooke I was at ApollyCon too! It was SO AWESOME! Unfortunately, I just went to the public signing (since I found out that I could go too late and there were no tickets left of the VIR tickets) but I LOVED IT! I even won one of the copies of A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas <3<3<3<3<3<3

The INSTA love isn't even the focal point of the story, figuring out her powers and who she is is the main story :)
