OMG yes you do Bridget and it won't take you anytime to read it. This book was so quick to read I was surprised.

I loved every single second of them (all of the books) but I thought it was my bias since many readers thought the beginning a bit slow so I always warn just in case. I'm so happy you're enjoying it Donna. This is another addicting series by EH.

I don't understand what happened to this story?!? I really liked the first book, but this second book has taken a completely different turn. UGH! So sad. Seriously disappointed with this one.

It does sound frustrating, I hate it when we're expected to feel something but aren't given the time to actually get there with the characters.

After the bomb-dropping opening, it was like the book became something completely different with personality changes and all. Very strange, and it just didn't flow.

Okay, so I decided to stop
for a bit and started
because I need a good & smexy KA read to get back my book groove :)

I am not looking for anything romance heavy. I wish for a decent read with some action.

Micah, I hope you'll love it too. It's a really quick read so you should have no problem finishing all 3 books this weekend...then you'll be sad it's over.
Micah wrote: "Mel wrote: "Finished and now I'm starting"How was winner's curse? I am picking it maybe next week and I hear good and bad ..."
It wasn't bad. My biggest issue with it was that it was really slow and didn't get truly interesting until after 200 pages give or take. This isn't romance heavy at all, the romance is very subtle. I'd say there's more intrigue than action.

It has a completely different rhythm than the first book and almost feels like a different story somehow. And where the hell is Thomas?! I guess maybe I need to get through the second half which I'm working on now. I'm hoping it gets better for me.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Mel wrote: "Finished and now I'm starting"Did you like TWC? I loved that book."
I loved TWC too Brooke :)
@ErinYou just reminded me I still need to finish off the Kylie Ryans story. I still haven't read book 2
. Sigh.... too many books :(

Mod
. I'm at 86% and it's DRAGGING! And there is so much telling. This author, how the heck did DISNEY think this book was good? UGH! I might have to put it down and pick up something else for today. I am supposed to review the second book and thought this would be a fast read, but it's turning out slow and I might not review the other book before it's publication date in just a few days! ARGH!

A cliffie ending you saw?! *insert loud groan here* Crap, the last book isn't out yet :( sigh..... Thanks for your insight Brooke :) Oh YAY! Graduation Day releases June 3rd so not too long of a wait thank goodness because cliffhangers are brutal!

I did that last night and it helped a lot :)

I've read her Cambio Springs series already :) was super excited when she first announced it and so I stalked for it LOL! Grabbed the prequel as soon as it was available and fell in love with it (yeah I know, big surprise hahahaha!) followed it up with book 1 and the next novella. Liked them all and the series is quite interesting/different from her other PNR series since it's about shifters. But in her brilliance, just as intricately detailed and wonderfully written. I have yet to read anything from EH that I have not truly enjoyed. Can't wait for book 2 to release for Cambio Springs. EH says it'll be her next book release so I'm jumping up and down with excitement :D

I think that because it was such a turbulent story with such an intense cocktail of emotions warring throughout the whole book it takes a while after finishing it off to make sense of all the feelings. I for one am crossing my fingers that she writes a followup book to it. I'd love to read more on these messed-up characters LOL!

Such a beautifully written story. I absolutely LOVE Laini Taylor's writing and the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy is amazing.

UGH! That's awful! I HATE stories with characters like that. With no real emotional development. That's the same I felt about
