Wonderful! I'm always looking for ways to get more free or cheap books!

It was an interesting read but not as good as the first book in the series. I really enjoyed the twists in the first one and this one lacked.

Didn't know about that one - thanks Nichole!

I've had it on and off mine for awhile too! The reviews scared me but really was quite pleased! I started it last night on my way home from dropping my son off at school... so it was dark...I was alone.. and listening to this... it was sooooooooo cool and eerie!!!!
Since I was gone all day yesterday, I'm playing catch-up today on the books I was able to finish.

Is there a Raymond Sands in both How to save a life and A trace of death?

*Example: Team Augustus Waters --> Look for a character named Augustus
Or is it the first name of ANY of the characters mentioned in a book from one of our teams? It seems most of the teams are doing this interpretation so wanted to check because that certainly makes it much easier!
*Example: Team Augustus Waters --> Can look for a characters named Augustus, Anna, Isaac, Kaitlyn, Monica, or Michael, Lida, Graham, or Hazel
I usually make things harder than they're supposed to be so thought I should ask!

*Example: Team Augustus Waters --> Look for a c..."
I asked this to the MODs:
"About #3: Any character name from the Kate Daniels series (Andrea, Derek, Jim etc?) would work? And if I happened to find three different books with the forementioned names in them, could I use all three even though they derive from the same team name? "
And got "that's right" as answer.
As I understand it, if the book mentioned is a series, names from the series can be used, not just the team name. There is an example explanation about it in the thread where the mini challenge is explained (Sirius could be used for team Ron Weasley)


Excellent!!!!! So example 2 works. I figured I was making it harder than it needed to be... That certainly open things up quite a bit!

Will try to find needed letter books next. :)

Thinking of Jennifer's "A Man Called Ove" for part 2, could that not work for part 3 character search as well? I believe it said in the rules you could read the book that the team name was derived from right?
