yay Perfect! Thanks Vicki!!!


Okay, Amanda and Kathy! Keep us posted on your copies!!! :)

[Vicki]

No problem! We're all in this together!

[Kathy]

Thanks Trisha! I will let you know as soon as I get my copy ! :D

[Vicki]

Trisha, my book is due back on June 14 if I can't check it out again. Usually I can but not if there is a hold on it.

[Amanda]

Thanks guys. I hate when it takes this long for copies to come in too, hopefully our copies will come in soon.

[Amanda]

Sorry guys my copy still has not come in yet, not sure what's taking so long. Once my copy does come in I will jump in on the discussion. Hope you like it.

[Kathy]

Same here! Maybe today will be our lucky day! lol!

[Amanda]

Fingers crossed Kathy.

[Kathy]

Yep! :D

[Kathy]

Just checked my account and I didn't receive it today.
I will check to see if the status has changed when I get to work tonight. It likely hasn't but I will check anyway! lol! :D

[Amanda]

Just checked my account too and have not received it yet either. It won't come today afternoon delivery would have been processed by now. I'll check tomorrow when I am at work to see if the status has changed.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yikes,
Vickie, I know your copy is due back soon
should we start ??? I'm okay to start if you are.
I can wait a few more days if not...

[Vicki]

No my copy is good! I am now in Kaua'i, Hawaii waiting for our room to be finished so we can check in. I'll start later today, but I've been up since 3:30 AM and think I need a nap first! Lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG yay!! Have a great nap Vicki!!!

[Kathy]

I talked to my friend in cataloging and she said they are really really behind. I will let you know as soon as it comes in. Hope you guys like it! :)

[Vicki]

Trisha, are you starting this one today?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I can anytime!
you ready Vicki??

[Vicki]

Yes! I started it today and I'm in ch. 20...VERY short chapters so pg. 90. Hope I didn't jump the gun! I thought you'd started it already.

I like it so far. I'll post some spoilers that can cover up thru ch. 20 in a bit.

[Vicki]

Haha I fell asleep before getting to my postings. Covers thru ch. 20.

Juneau (view spoiler)[Oh my gosh! This poor girl! I can't imagine coming home and finding everyone gone! I'd be so panic-stricken and far less gutsy than she is! Her boy cut doesn't seem to be a very good disguise. Lol She's naive in some ways, but I was glad that the guy who bought her gold nugget wasn't able to take advantage of her. I can't believe her tried offering her $500 when it was worth at least $7000! Creep! (hide spoiler)]

Miles(view spoiler)[What a little instigator! Lol I like him though. His dad is a jerk and I'm sure Miles is just acting out getting negative attention because of his dad. He's willing to go to great lengths to get back in his dad's good graces! (hide spoiler)]

Juneau's dad and Clan (view spoiler)[I can't believe such a fabricated lie has been told to Juneau for 17 years! It darn well better be a REALLY good reason they made her whole life a lie. Frankly, I don't think there is reason enough. Now she's in a new world she doesn't know so she's disadvantaged! What could be the reason?? (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I meant to mention that I've been to Denali! My brother got married there at midnight. :) Alaska is BEAUTIFUL and everyone should go in the summer when there's no snow, good fishing, and some daylight 24/7. In Anchorage it's like dusk throughout the night so you see people water skiing if you go to Big Lake or other lakes all night long. I loved it there!

[Vicki]

Haha one more thing. Ch 20-24

Whit (view spoiler)[I liked him a lot in the beginning, but now I'm SO upset!! He not only lied to her, but now he's helping people look for her!! What a betrayal! I really hope she's misreading him! (hide spoiler)]

Miles (view spoiler)[ I'm glad he's realized she's telling the truth! I wonder what part his dad plays. I guess it can't be good but I'm hoping he MIGHT be out to protect or help her. He seems like such a jerk though, so I doubt it. I just want to know WHY the lie!! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry, I went to an all day training thing.
I'm starting this today :)
I'll post soon!

[Vicki]

No problem! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay 20 chapters in!

Juneau (view spoiler)[ I'm so sad for her. To lose everyone and almost everything she knows in one big swoop.
As naive as she is, she is SO strong and stubborn. She's a survivor. (hide spoiler)]

Miles (view spoiler)[ spoiled rich kid but it seems like he might have a good heart. They are right, he needs her. But why...what's he hiding from? (hide spoiler)]

Clan and dad (view spoiler)[
well.... I think they were in hiding. some type of testing or what not made all the kids different when they were born - the starburst thing in the eye and then their connection to Yara and the earth....
all the things Juneau can do - they MUST have been hiding the kids from the government or pharmaceutical companies in order to protect them. I'm so sad they were found :( (hide spoiler)]

I'm absolutely hooked. I love this one so far!

[Vicki]

I'm so glad you like it too! I'm done now, so these spoilers will cover to the end.

Your prediction: (view spoiler)[ You caught on a lot quicker than I did. Lol (hide spoiler)]

Juneau: (view spoiler)[ This poor girl is amazingly strong and courageous! I can't believe all she went through. I was so sad when she overheard Miles tell his dad he was bringing her to him. But she cracked me up taking his car without knowing how to drive. Loved it!
(hide spoiler)]

Tallie: (view spoiler)[ I loved her! What a clever woman. Loved her cabin and her at-oneness with nature too. Without her help Juneau would have been in big trouble. I hope she's in book 2 and is further developed. (hide spoiler)]

Miles (view spoiler)[ ♥♥♥ I'm so glad he finally realized that she was telling him the truth. I got frustrated with him when he'd call her crazy but at the same time it was cute. He HAS to be alive, right? (hide spoiler)]

Whit (view spoiler)[I'm SO disappointed in him! If he was trying to protect her at all he sure had a strange way of doing it. Lol He was going to turn her over to Blackwell if need be, do you think? Anyway I can't stand him unless he redeems himself in book 2. (hide spoiler)]

Ending: (view spoiler)[ OMG!!! Are you serious??? I'm sure Miles will live but did she have to end it like that? And I didnt even see a book 2 showing a publish date. Hoping I just missed it cuz I'm on my tablet! (hide spoiler)]

I hope I didnt leave any spoilers in your view!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yikes, sorry....I will get back to this one. Trying to play catch up! I'll read more tomorrow and finish it :)

[Vicki]

Haha! It's okay! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I'm finally done! WOW Amazing. I Loved this one

My prediction (view spoiler)[ LOL I got lucky :) (hide spoiler)]

Juneau (view spoiler)[ i Loved that girl. she WAS so strong and so passionate. I love how scared he was of her when she was angry and how Miles chuckled when he thought of his dad taking her on! LOL she IS fierce! (hide spoiler)]

Tallie (view spoiler)[ was amazing! i agree, I hope hope hope we see her in book 2. she was just great! (hide spoiler)]

Miles (view spoiler)[ i loved him. I can't believe the cliffhanger is whether he makes it and who he will be AFTER he is changed. I know he's okay, I think his dream predicted this
but what will change when he's done?? and what do they do now?? take on everyone to get her clan back? (hide spoiler)]

Whit (view spoiler)[ I can't help but think he's working both angles. He said it's not all as it seems. I think he knew they'd been found so he was selling to the highest bidder until he could get them out. i their "abduction" may not be a kidnapping as much as trying to hide them from the bad guys until they can establish a new safe place. I'm not sure what the answer would be - they can't go out into the population with their slow aging and all that, they need to go back into hiding....right?? (hide spoiler)]

Ending (view spoiler)[ OMG I refuse to believe he could be dead. Just refuse (hide spoiler)]

OMG I need book 2 now!! LOL this one was so good!

[Kathy]

I still don't have my copy. I go in tonight, so I will check the status and hopefully it will say in transit!! lol!

[Amanda]

I don't either. I just checked my status and the book still says on order. I hope it comes in soon this wait has been brutal.

[Kathy]

Yes! Brutal! And I feel like I'm being tortured!! lol!
Hopefully our copies will be in at the same time and soon! :)

[Vicki]

Trisha, I'm SO glad you loved it too! But the end!!! OMG! I can't read your spoilers till tomorrow. We're at the airport waiting for our flight but we're a couple hours early due to car rental return.

I'll be reading! Lol

[Kathy]

I just checked the status and it's still received but not in transit yet. :(

[Vicki]

Ugh...frustrating!!

[Amanda]

I am hoping that our copies come in at the same time. The records for mine is saying on order still. Hopefully the supplier gets them to is soon.

[Amanda]

Yay, my copy is in transit. I will bring it home from work tomorrow. How's your status looking Kathy?

[Kathy]

Still received, not in transit. :(
I feel like I'm being teased!! lol!

[Vicki]

How frustrating!!' Ugh!

[Kathy]

It is. I talked with my friend in cataloging about a week ago and she said they are swamped.
So hopefully soon! Fingers crossed for next week! lol!

[Vicki]

Do you still have someone to read it with?

[Amanda]

When I pick up my copy I will have it for 3 weeks. I can wait for you Kathy and see if you get yours soon so we can read it together.

[Vicki]

That's nice of you, Amanda. :)

[Kathy]

Thanks Amanda! It shouldn't be too much longer because it's been received forever! lol!

I will let you know as soon as it comes in. :)

[Amanda]

Your welcome. It's more fun to read with a buddy.

[Kathy]

Yes! It is! lol! :D

[Kathy]

My copy is FINALLY on it's way!!! *jumping for joy*
I'm so excited now! I hope it comes in today! WooHoo! lol! :D

[Amanda]

Yay! What day would you like to start this one?

[Kathy]

I know!! It didn't come in today, but it should be in this week sometime.
Can we start Saturday? That way I can get some books done?

[Amanda]

Saturday is good. I have some other books I need to read too.

[Kathy]

Yay! Can't wait to start! :D
