[Natalia]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ I really like this book so far.
I definitely ship them and hope that they can make up soon (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I really like his sister! She seems really cool and independent and feisty (hide spoiler)]

[CallMeSensei]

Closing of chapter 20: (view spoiler)[ I'm still not really loving the plot... it just seems really convenient and I'm just waiting for Monty & Percy to figure it out! Gah! Felicity is my fave <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Ari]

Chapters 1-7: This book is exactly my kind of jam, I love it! And the writing is amazing. (view spoiler)[I absolutely adore Monty's voice, though I feel sorry for him, his dad beating him up and all. Monty and Percy are so clearly pining for each other! Can't wait for them to realize it. Also, Felicity is such an interesting character, I love her. (hide spoiler)]

[CallMeSensei]

Closing of the book: (view spoiler)[ Okay, so the only redeeming thing for me about this book was Felicity. I think if this novel had been from her perspective, I would have absolutely loved it. But instead we have Monty who I just did not like. And Percy, who is not fleshed out as a character at all. And the bizarre, very "find the magic cure for a disability" plot that was also too long and very ableist. (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Monty is being a bit selfish (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ This scene with Monty crying was really sweet and touching, I love him! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ This chapter was great. I'n shipping them so much, I hope they work out everything (hide spoiler)]
Finished! I loved this book!

[Ari]

Chapters 8 - 14: (view spoiler)[ Wow they're speaking Catalan I can't believe it! It's like... the first time I see my language in an English book! Loving loving it (hide spoiler)]

[Ari]

Chapters 15 - 21 (view spoiler)[ Aw Monty crying... my heart. Percy is so so cute, I'm sad he has epilepsy but he's not broken, he can live with it just fine... (hide spoiler)]

[Ari]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Ahh I adored this book!! I loved the tour and all that mutual pining and obliviousness. Monty's character development was great and the ending was adorable! I wish Percy's and Felicity's characters were more fleshed out but I guess that's something to look out in the sequel. Can't wait for it to come out! (hide spoiler)]

25% (view spoiler)[I like Felicity :) Such a strong and smart woman :) And i can't wait for Henry and Percy to get together :) (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

25% (view spoiler)[I agree, I think a lot of us on here can relate to felicity. I’m just excited for Monty to grow up more, although if he was a proper gentleman, it wouldn’t be as interesting of a story. I’m curious what word will open up the box. 🤔 (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa]

maybe an obscene word? hahahahaha :D

Maybe if Monty learned to pretend to be a Gentleman and if no one watched, hide in a closet with... you know who :)

[Lisa]

38% (view spoiler)[Percy has epilepsy? Poor Percy! Hope they find a way that he hasn't to go to the asylum! And i also hope that Felicity will find a way to study medicin! And now we are on our way to spain i think :) (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

41%(view spoiler)[I just want Monty and Percy together, for Percy not to be sick, and for everything to be rainbows and sunshine! Hahaha
I’m glad that they decided to go to Spain and I have to say, I’m impressed by how Monty was able to use his flirting skills to get the money to go to Spain. I also found it funny that Felicity made friends with a spinster... foreshadowing for Book #2? Lol (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

51% (view spoiler)[For some reason I keep thinking there is something important about that rug that they keep tripping on in Dante’s study. It could be nothing and that they are just clumsy, but I’m not sure why including that part would be relevant and worth mentioning.
It broke my heart when Percy goes, “Has that been your leg all this while?”...”I thought that was the chair. Sorry about that. Dear Lord, why didn’t you say something?”
Me: ... YOU KNOW WHY HE DIDN’T PERCY! GAHHHH Just be together already. 😭😭😭 (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa]

52% (view spoiler)[so i think that mr. Robles is still alive under the floor boards in the study and thats why dante keeps saying "our dad IS" - instead of WAS. Or his corpse is down there waiting to be resurrected with the philosopher stone heart he invented. Which i am pretty sure is in the box. Either way thats the reason they fired the staff so noone would find out their secret. (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa]

Also felicity is the best talking about her period and making the Gentlemen blush :)
"Ladies havent the luxury of being squeamish about blood" :D

[Jacquelyn]

That’s one of my favorite parts! 😂

[Jacquelyn]

70% ... I’m really starting to lose interest.

[Lisa]

yeah, i'm at 77% now and i feel like its getting a bit better now :)

[Lisa]

don't give up! there's only 30% left and if you finished STAGS you can finish this book! :D

[Jacquelyn]

Thanks for the motivation 😂😂😂😂😂

[Lisa]

86% (view spoiler)[Monty and percy are finally happy...and they are fighting... why are you doibg this to my heart? 😭 also scipio and henry are so sweet together 😍 purely as friends 😀 (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

86% (view spoiler)[I’m getting so annoyed with Monty Henry (I’m calling him Henry since I’m disappointed in him) he just HAD to screw things up with Percy... again.
I agree, I think Scipio is being a good friend, I really like his character... too bad they got captured by that asshat of a Duke. (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

91% (view spoiler)[ whoops, 🚫👂🏻 (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

100% (view spoiler)[ I enjoyed the ending, but I’m still annoyed that the panacea got wasted. (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa]

92% (view spoiler)[Hahahahaha :) i liked the emojis and the "whoops" :D wouldn't it be nice if they could all just live in this house in Santorini and Felicity could be a pirate doctor? :) I think it's great that the pirates would totally accept her as their doctor even though the society wouldn't even let her study medicin!

19%

(view spoiler)[It's very hilarious ... the way Monty fleed the apartment. But what happened next, not at all. The social status for that time is only for the privileged white man.

When Percy and Felicity are talking about the how people treat woman and people with color in the same situation, it's really unfair to them. (hide spoiler)]

Now, I'm Hooked. The story is getting better and better every page. (view spoiler)[Percy has epilepsy! He'd stop drink alcohol, then. I think people in that era doesn't understand the cause of the symptom which makes it only worse for Percy. He isn't possessed; he's just sick. And there is nothing wrong with the color of his skin, you daft. (hide spoiler)]

[*¨·٠•●♥✿LINLAN✿♥●•٠·¨*]

(view spoiler)[It's obvious that they love each other more than friends. Why don't they drop the facade and be a couple already? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[The characters're really well developed. I really love the way the relationship between Monty and Felicity goes ... It isn't perfect but heartwarming. They slowly becomes a siblings ... the real one. You know what I mean. (hide spoiler)]

Reading from the 12th of September 2018

*********************************************************************************************************************************

[Ashleigh]

Chapters 1-5

(view spoiler)[For someone who is so madly in love with their best friend, Monty was out of order in that last chapter. He was horrible to Percy!

Also, I didn't realise Monty was bisexual until that lady showed up. All we were told up to that point was that Monty liked men, so I assumed he was gay. He did come across as a little chauvinistic when he was describing her breasts and looking at them. Hmm.

Despite all that, I am enjoying the book. Can't wait to see what antics the trio will be getting up to next! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Chapter 6

(view spoiler)[Well Monty. You've really done it now. I hope Lockwood managed to escape safely!! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Chapters 7-11

(view spoiler)[Oh poor Percy. Coming from a family of epilepsy sufferers, I understand somewhat what he has been going through, and I find it despicable that his family would toss him away and send him to an asylum. I hope he and Monty can work things out and get back to how they were. Although I do think Monty needs to get his head out of his arse and stop thinking of himself!! (hide spoiler)]

[Kelli]

Hello!!! Just borrowed this in audiobook from my library. Will be starting today :)

[Ashleigh]

Chapters 12-21

(view spoiler)[All i want is for Monty and Percy to be together. And I'm so happy they finally admitted their feelings for each other. Now can we get another kiss???? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Chapter 22

(view spoiler)[Hostages to pirates?!?! They just seem to be going from one dangerous situation to another!! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Finished

(view spoiler)[Ahh my little heart. I am soooo happy. I can't remember the last time I read a book that had an ending that had me smiling so much. Like I was full on beaming when I read the letter from Monty to his dad. Just a great book, and I don't know why it took me so long to read it but I'm happy I did, and I can't wait to read the second book!! (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Ashleigh I think it's my favorite of the year!
