BevS Evening all. Trish has hopefully warned you that I'm a bit mad, but I love this book and have been waiting patiently for this revised version and its sequel. I will aim to get to the end of chapter 3 tonight if I can.

BevS OK ladies, at the end of chapter 5. It's all coming back to me, I love Julian's teasing and Matt's shyness. Will read some more tomorrow. :)

Hi Bev *waving*
Revised version? There will be one? Why?

This is the revised version! :D

BevS Hi Bookwatcher and Trish **waves**. Couldn't stop reading it once I'd got in so am at the end of chapter 8. Haven't noticed anything radically different from before but it is about 15 months since I read it last time, I'm getting older and the brain cells are disappearing fast, hehe :) Hope you're both enjoying it. x

I'll be starting it in a bit! Glad you're enjoying it, though. :)

Haha! Yeah. It was sooooooooooooooooo good seeing the boys again, I was really happy. :)


Bookwatcher 30 min and I start it
I was trying to finish another book before this one but no, give up. BTW Trish it's not for you, people are ok with be with someone else after their lover die (the book I just add a review, stay away from it)

Ok gals.. 30min from now and I will start this one :))))

Thank you for the warning! I will stay away from it. :D

If your read the spoiler you will see the love mess it's in the book. When the vampire boyfriend says he was happy his lover, the vampire, was also in love with another vampire I give up. No no nooooo. No, the vampire answer was what pissed me more... It was like "oh, I'm so luck having you as my lover" and I could read the between the lines "... because when you will be dead I will shag the vampire, I love him and you are mortal, so you now, immortal lover after when you will be worm food"
-.-" what a freaking ass! WTH? Your human lover is saying "when I die go and be happy with the vampire you love" and your ass answer is "I'm luck having you now"
-.-"

I won't even go there... Things like that do not sit very well with me. I get that some people adore second chance at love stories, but I am not one of them. And the way it sounds like it was handled... ._.

I like second chance stories. I don't like when a character decide it WHILE his partner is still alive with him -.-". Seems an absurd talk. "hey I'm mortal, you are not. I see how you lust and want Rory. He is immortal. It's ok to be with him when I will be dead". And an answer like "I'm such luck man/vampire having a bf like you, that understand my needs" -.-". If the vampire's answer was something like "let's not talk about death, you are alive, I love you" it would be ok.. But no.... He was happy getting the blessing from his mortal lover, to have his vampire lover after
-.-"""

Anyway. No more talking about another book lol

Started A Better Man... Forgetting the asshole vampire that pissed me so much :-D

Lol. Okay! I completely understand what you mean. I hope you enjoy ABM more than you did the other book anyway. I hope you're feeling better, btw. xD


Bookwatcher I'm on bed. Taking flu pills. Sort of feeling like a truck run over me.
Lol

Read 5% up to now. Poor Julian. He seems a guy without luck :((((

Yeah, he's such a lovable guy. But his luck wasn't always the best in the world.

BevS At 85% now, so will finish later. There seem to be a lot of typos this time around, which I'm sure I would've mentioned in my review last time if they were there...anyhoo, obviously not as hard-core as some of my reads, but nice and gentle with a real horror of a mother!!

I didn't notice any, tbh. But I was too engrossed in the book. :D I liked how the mother was dealt with this time around. I laughed. I have to admit that. :)
