I am LOVING this series Kazen!! The books have a kick-ass female heroine, and a dark and strangely alluring male who I think is the hero, but I still haven't worked that out - and this is book 5! I have been sucked in completely since book 1.

I am so glad that I can read it as part of this challenge as the previous book ended on a cliff hanger and I desperately need to find out WTF happened!!!

Usually such a huge book would take me over a week to read, but I think I will be finishing this one in record time :)

[Margaret]

You guys are all reading machines!! I have had busy time at work so haven't been able to get into the thread for what feels like days! So great to see the fabulous progress we are making.

How did you like it? I surprisingly loved this book, and I'm currently reading the next book in the series for the challenge.

[Rose]

Out of curiosity, since I'm in the US. Is it still hard to get a hold of books from the US at the same time they come out here? My friend in Melbourne was always so annoyed with the publishing timeline in school, but I wondered if ebooks are availible sooner.

Are you referring to getting the book from a library or buying the book? From the library, sometimes you can get an ebook faster because not too many people have yet realized that you can get ebooks from the library through overdrive and I forget the name of the other one (it's not as popular). Like when Glass Sword came out I ended up with the ebook the next month. I guess it's quicker with ebooks because they're automatically returned at the end of the borrow period where as you have to wait for a person to return it and some people just don't mind the extra library fees just to finish up the book.

[Rose]

I mean if the dates that books are released/published are shifted. E.g. You can't get a book from your favorite U.S. author until a couple weeks after it comes out here.

[Riah]

I'm going to have to try out that Fever series as well! I been looking for more Fantasy books and branching out of my usual genres.

Yeah that's true for most popular authors

[Brianna]

Kazen wrote: Way to go, Brianna! Was it as good as I remember? ;)"
Yes it was awesome. I loved it way more than the movie. I loved getting know a little more about the characters than we do in the movie. I'm also glad the movie didn't spoil the book for me. Like I wasn't waiting on for certain parts to happen or expecting it to go exactly that way. I guess that's because I haven't seen the movie in so long.

[Tammie]

I highly recommend K Monings Fever series as well. I've rated half of them 5 stars. Every book is a good one. I read a lot...took me 3 days...books are all pretty long but hardly any dragging in the story line.

Let's check the Rules of Wobble!

◈ "Re-reads" will be allowed, if it has been six months since you have read the book.

Sounds good to me!

[Ella]

okay thx kazen.. so do i need to change the dates on the book or simply following my reading timeline will be enough ?

As long as you didn't finish it in the last six months and restart from the beginning I don't see a problem with it. :). Just make sure your start and finish dates are for this read.

And thank you, migraine, for waking me up at 2:30am to answer this question:P

Which was not good at all. Solid " would have been a DNF" territory.

oh i loved the entire Bridgerton series. it was my first ever historical novel (not considering the ones i read for school)

[Victoria Grace]

I was looking at the boards of the other land animals. They have not gotten as many hits as us and they've found more subs. I think were looking pretty good if we can all read our hits so far!
