Anyone who'd like to join Trisha and buddy read this book is welcome.

[Vicki]

Trisha, I don't have this one yet. I wasn't allowed to order it until today, so I'm thinking in about a week. Can you wait?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sure! I'm switching to 5/17

let me know if that doesn't work

[Vicki]

Thanks, Trisha. :)

[Vicki]

I'm getting ready to pick up this one. Can you start soon?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yep, I may not start tonight but I will tomorrow! (but I'll try to tonight!!)

[Vicki]

Okay, no worries if you don't. I might not start it till tomorrow either.

12 Chapters

This one is really interesting to me!

Coal (view spoiler)[Who the heck is this guy and what's the "game" he's playing? I realize he picked her because she probably wouldn't be missed by anyone, but what's he doing this to her and the boys for? (hide spoiler)]

Adi (view spoiler)[must be totally beside herself! I can't imagine not being able to speak or write!!! I would probably do so inadvertently. Would Coal really send the boys in pieces? Ugh! I'm glad she has George now! (hide spoiler)]

George (view spoiler)[began by potentially just being a "bum" (I hate to use that label), but he's royalty? Awesome! I really hope he helps her get her brothers back. I don't know about a romance at this point though. (hide spoiler)]

George's stepmother (view spoiler)[What a B! Two-faced! I can't stand it when people put on a pretense of being one way but really are another. I felt disgust when she was saying all that to Adi in Hindi and making everyone think she was being so sweet to her and making a connection, but George knows. (hide spoiler)]

Halick (view spoiler)[I'm not sure how I feel about him yet. I don't have a good sense one way or the other. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!! I was hoping to grab this one tonight but I'm grabbing 2 others
I'll definitely start tomorrow!!

[Vicki]

That's fine. I'm crazy busy right now! I won't get much reading in until Saturday. Tomorrow night is two of my grandkids' graduation party & my son is coming up from southern CA!

[Vicki]

Finished Part 2

Adi (view spoiler)[I can't believe she's been able to withhold speaking and writing to anyone! There have been times that I don't know how she did it! I feel bad for her now that she's had to cut her hair and live as a male soldier. How scary that would be to pull it off! She's a strong woman! (hide spoiler)]

The boys (view spoiler)[Wow! It's been two years! And they think Adi is dead. How sad for them but I am glad they are in a monastery so they have been safe all along, I assume. (hide spoiler)]

Thomas (view spoiler)[ is a serial killer? Did I get that part right? I thought sure he was going to try to kill Adi! (hide spoiler)]

Halick (view spoiler)[is alive? I thought he was dead after Coal did whatever he did to him. (hide spoiler)]

Coal (view spoiler)[keeps popping up. I don't get it. Who the heck is he that he's doing this to Adi and the boys? And the box with letters or whatever that he (I think it's he) sends to them. Poor little guys. (hide spoiler)]

George (view spoiler)[seems to have it pretty bad for Adi. I'm glad he got off his drunken spree and is finally doing something and I guess he's looking for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm taking this one to Oregon with me !

[Vicki]

YAY! Silent in Oregon...ironic. LOL

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm Finally starting this one!! Yay!

[Vicki]

Oh good! I hope you like it.

10 chapters

what a wonderful hidden little gem this book is! I love it so far

Riddle(view spoiler)[ I have no idea how he put it all together! all those hints. I hope they find something (hide spoiler)]
Brothers(view spoiler)[ and her poor brothers. (hide spoiler)]

pocket watch(view spoiler)[ who on earth is this guy? death maybe? or something more? he cursed her so quickly and had arranged for the other guy to die. and he stole those boys like it was nothing - giving her a finger? I hope he didn't really cut one of the brothers (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I'm so glad you like it too!!

Right? I couldn't believe he (view spoiler)[gave her a finger, but talk about enough to freak you out! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Done with Part 1

Halick(view spoiler)[ yikes. what a sick guy. glad she was able to defend herself. (hide spoiler)]

Coal(view spoiler)[ OMG did he just drop her off the cliff??
what is going on here? Why would he want to start a war?
since he is the one who killed that guy, right? Why.....? (hide spoiler)]

Stepmother(view spoiler)[ of course she isn't a nice person but she had to crawl her way up to where she is. she's not going to let George make the same mistake (hide spoiler)]

George(view spoiler)[ I love him. I hope he finds her (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Finished Part II

Thomas(view spoiler)[ oh my gosh, I must have missed something.i didn't think he'd killed anyone?!? (hide spoiler)]

Coal(view spoiler)[ Okay, does this mean that Adi has a future that needs to be shaped so she can do something big...Coal obviously needs her for something
first, he tried to martyr her and get her in prison
is she more important to the future now that she's affected George. I clearly think George could fall in love with her (hide spoiler)]

Adi(view spoiler)[ she is strong! (hide spoiler)]

Twins(view spoiler)[ see! Coal is even taking care of them. so who is he? Why do I think he's death - but somehow someone who affects the future/fate. Hmm (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I'm glad you are enjoying this book too. I know George (view spoiler)[had my heart too. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, Halick (view spoiler)[was really SICK! (hide spoiler)]

I can't comment on a lot of your spoilers but I can't wait to see how you like it as you continue.

Adi (view spoiler)[was strong the entire way and I just couldn't figure out how on earth she was able to never talk!!! I KNOW I would have blown it at some point. LOL (hide spoiler)]
