Nichole & Krissy - Fish Stick Fridays


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments Checking in!


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments When are you feeling this one? Tues? Wed? Later?


Nichole | 1862 comments I'm sorry! I know I'm holding you back. I bit off more than I can chew with that damn challenge still going. I was hoping we would be eliminated, lol. Not really, but kinda :P I can probably get to this one Thursday or Friday. If you want to go ahead, I'll catch up!


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments I don't mind waiting. Maybe push the others off until next month. How about this.... you just let me know which of our books you want to start whenever you want to start it. No pressure. Just hit the thread up with "starting today" or whatever. What we don't get to this month we can start next month no problem.


Nichole | 1862 comments Sounds good. Thank you so much.


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments Not a problem :)


Nichole | 1862 comments Okay, I need a book with a vehicle on it. I won't be able to start it until after next Sunday. Fucking challenge! I'm not joining any new ones for a while, I'm burnt out. Famous last words....

Anyway, this one works and so does Something like Summer so whichever one you want to read first!


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments I'll read whichever you want. I already own both audios


Nichole | 1862 comments Me too! Okay, I'll guess we'll wait and see if either of them work better with challenges at that time.


Nichole | 1862 comments I think I would like to start this one on Tuesday.. how about you?


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments Perfect! I'd start it right now if you wanted.


Nichole | 1862 comments Well, okay! I'm about to watch GoT and I probably won't be able to get very far tonight because I have to work tomorrow (booo!). But yeah, let's do it. I'll catch up to you tomorrow!


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments I'll wait until after the littles are in bed then start it. That way I won't get too far ahead.


Nichole | 1862 comments Sounds good! I'm excited, lol. I feel like I can finally get caught up and read stuff that I want instead strictly challenge books. It feels good.


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments But I love challenges!


Nichole | 1862 comments Me too but I burned myself out, lol. I usually do that with the ones that are a reading frenzy type. Especially when I have to read a bunch of crap books. I'm sure I'll be signed up for more before too long :)


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments Stopping for the night 2hrs 25mins into the audio. Lang was just informed that Daniel was released.

Nichole | 1862 comments I'm only on CH. 4

Deacon and Zig are too cute. Wonder what was up with the bomb at the hotel? Or was it something else and I was distracted during the explanation?

Zig has quite the potty mouth, lol. It's funny when it's not your kid, huh? Lol.

Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments "Somewhere in a kitchen drawer he shoved a stack of papers from the school..."


Deacon and I share the same organizational skills...


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments Finished!


Nichole | 1862 comments Bah! I'm only on ch. 7, lol. My husband decided he wanted to go shoe shopping when I got home from work. So 3.5 hours later (we did groceries too) we got home and the cold water pipe on the washing machine had rusted and was leaking.... the whole time we were gone! It was a fucking mess. So I got to spend the next 2 hours cleaning it up. I'm about to plop down and finish this up though!

I haven't gotten very far but something is bugging me. Well, not bugging exactly but I keep checking because I feel like it's skipping parts. It's not, it just feels that way to me sometimes. Mostly when the killer attacks. One second I'm reading this part and everything is fine and the next there's a bomb or people are shot. I'll be expecting it now but it threw me the first couple of times, lol.

Nichole | 1862 comments Why does the narrator have to make Lang sound like an older woman?

I just got to the part where he finds out about Daniel getting released.


Nichole | 1862 comments I won't lie... I'm bored. It's not that it's bad or anything, I'm just bored.


Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments I've never been a huge Rhys Ford fan. I get a little bored with everything I read by her. With that being said I did like this book the best out of everything I've read so far. And I still only gave it 3 very weak stars. I liked the MCs. I am a sucker for a scarred and/or abused character. And also the bad boy turned family man. So those are the positive points of the book.

I wasn't feeling the sex scenes. They were just meh. When normally I like when those type of scenes make you feel an even more chemistry between the MCs.

The mystery aspect?? Blah. I could have done without it. I 100% agree with you about it being very off putting when things blow up/catch fire/shoot bullets in the middle of the scene. It's like those scenes happen on a whim then disappear just as quickly. The author moves on rather fast as if that didn't just happen.

Anyhoo... yea.


Nichole | 1862 comments I finished! Yeah, it was okay. Like you said, a generous 3 stars. I did like Zig and Deacon though. Lang sounded like an old woman and it made my eye twitch, lol. This is only the 2nd book I've read by Rhys Ford. I must be missing something too, lol. But at least that's one more off the TBR and I didn't hate it!
