Starting this today!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! I'm starting today too!!! So excited!

[Bèbè ✦ RANT ✦]

Are you doing audiobook or reading?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm reading! Ebook (although I wish I had a physical book so I could take it all around the house. I am on my computer)

if it's okay, I'm going to make some notes, because I'm only in chapter 2 and yikes, are we on our fourth POV?

Grayson (view spoiler)[ Twin brother to Ingrid (hide spoiler)]

Ingrid (view spoiler)[ twin sister to Grayson (hide spoiler)]

Gabby (view spoiler)[ sister (hide spoiler)]

Luc (view spoiler)[ OMG he's a gargoyle!!! a dog like gargoyle AWESOME! (hide spoiler)]
Luc's Friends??: Marco, Yann & Renee

Dispossessed (view spoiler)[ While alive, they’d all committed the same sin: the cold-blooded murder of a man of the cloth (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Okay, 5 chapters in

Wow, these are some seriously stubborn, strong-willed girls

Gabby (view spoiler)[ I can't believe after ALL those warnings, she STILL went out alone to meet up with Henri. Gah, what is wrong with her. so sad he was murdered. I wonder what he knew... (hide spoiler)]

Ingrid (view spoiler)[ OMG you have to be kidding! SHE ALSO went out after dark and NOW she's running from something and got both the horses and the footman KILLED? Bah! (hide spoiler)]

Grayson (view spoiler)[ he sounds like he truly is in hell. what other monsters can there be if there are gargoyles?
(hide spoiler)]

Luc (view spoiler)[ love the idea of gargoyles! I've never read a book with them! Have you? (hide spoiler)]

[Katherine]

First of all, I absolutely love Paris!! I've been there and it's absolutely amazing!!

Yeah, (view spoiler)[Ingrid and Gabby aren't the brightest heroines ever. Gabby is probably the worse of the two though (hide spoiler)]

And (view spoiler)[THE GARGOYLES!!! I've never read a YA book that deals with gargoyles before either. I applaud the author for her originality. (hide spoiler)].

Luc(view spoiler)[ is a mysterious fellow. Kind of standoffish, at this point, but he comes around in the end. (hide spoiler)].

And I agree, there are soo many POV's!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters in

I'm really liking it!

Gabby (view spoiler)[ Okay, so she's finally catching on! things are dangerous here!
Do you think she'll possibly end up with a crush on Nolan?? He was pretty cool :) (hide spoiler)]

Grayson (view spoiler)[ ugh, my heart breaks for him. it sounds like he is just in hell.
and they are changing him, right? that's what they meant about making his blood better?
what can they be doing to him? filling him full of that stuff Luc took out of Ingred's leg? (hide spoiler)]

Luc (view spoiler)[ I like him. I don't blame him for being hot and cold. It would be so frustrating to watch over humans all this time and have them making these WILD crazy dangerous decisions like Ingrid and Gabby both did IN ONE NIGHT! Ugh....but wow! He really showed him self (in more ways than one! LOL!) to Ingrid! I can't believe she didn't run (hide spoiler)]

Ingrid (view spoiler)[ I like her!! she's really holding her own

but wow, what is she?? shooting electricity out of her hands?!?!? :O (hide spoiler)]

I'm really enjoying it so far!
I'll read more tomorrow!

[Katherine]

I'm glad we're liking it better than Uninvited!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Right?! LOL! We need a REALLY good one after that mess!

[Bèbè ✦ RANT ✦]

Ok I'm gonna have to get the ebook then. I tried to listening to the audiobook but narrator was giving me a headacne in the first 2 minutes of it lol

[Katherine]

Yes, let's mot even mention that catastrophe of a book.

Even though this book has an equally ridiculous premises, at least it's well-executed!!

OMG, there's so much action at this point!! And poor Grayson!! (view spoiler)[The poor guy doesn't even know what the heck he did to end up where he is :( (hide spoiler)].

Ugh, I hate that! I'm so sorry the audio sucks! The ebook is really good so far! I hope you enjoy that more!
and Yeah...4 POV are hard to keep track of in an audio book too!!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm finishing up one and then I'm back to this one! I can't wait! this one really IS interesting and action packed!

I've tried a few audiobooks, and it hasn't gone well. I'd rather read the story than hear it!!

Oh man yeah that would definitely be hard. I'm gonna see if I can find the ebook in my library today.
