Please join Vicki and I!

[Vicki]

Another one that's been on my TBR shelf a long time. LOL

Thanks for making the thread.

[Ashlyn]

I thought I was the only one who hasn't read this book yet. I'm glad we will be able to read it together, and we can dwindle down our TBR shelf. My goal this year is to read as many of the physical books I own that I haven't read yet.

[Vicki]

Oh have so many physical books I haven't touched. Lol

[Ashlyn]

You should put up a list on here and I can do the same with mine, and we can see which ones we want to read together, so we can finally read some of them.

[Vicki]

Yes! Great idea. Give me a couple days though because I have to edit and submit almost 60 pages.

[Ashlyn]

Good luck with the 60 pages! That seems like a lot. Here are the books that I have that I haven't read yet https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Can I join you guys? This is a book that I have had on my book shelf for almost a year now.

[Ashlyn]

Of course you can!

[Vicki]

Love to have you, Anna!

[Ashlyn]

Has anyone started this yet?

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

I just started it. I'm on page 77 right now if anyone wants to join me. :)

[Ashlyn]

I just started this.

Chapter 2

Nyx (view spoiler)[I can understand why Nyx doesn't like her sister very much. I mean she was basically told that her dad and aunt don't love her, but love her sister more. However, I don't think she should wish that it was her sister to die instead of her, or that what her aunt and father told her were not true. She should have let her sister hope that Nyx would come back. I am interested to see where the story goes from here. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry that I didn't update while I read, but here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Ashlyn]

I finished, and I really liked the book.

I read the book a week ago! Just in time. Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... . I'd like to know how other's felt about this YA book (tbh I think it should be classified as NA). I felt like I needed more depth to the story. I wasn't invested enough into the main couple, simply because we hadn't seen enough of them. But that's my opinion. I would've liked less Greek mythology and more character development and explanation :) 3/5 stars.
