Ok, come on, I would have thought the same if it were me. How can you not be bitter in that situation? If it were me though (view spoiler)[I think I would have mentioned that we used to date.

[Diana Stormblessed]

Noooo!!! I thought there was only 5 books in this series but there's 6! So I need to wait an extra book for a HEA! Must speed up listening speed to get my satisfaction.

But that's what's annoying me. (view spoiler)[ I understand that she's bitter (who wouldn't be?) but she's putting herself in the worst situation possible. She could have mentioned a previous relationship with Seth. Maddie is not trying to hurt her, she's simply sharing her joy with her best friend. But mostly, purposely giving bad fashion advice when you can shapeshift in any dress you want is kind of petty x) (hide spoiler)]

[Virginie]

Also, I was grumpy and bitchy 'cause I didn't get enough sleep lol. But now, my team's going to the semi-finals so I'm happy.

[Diana Stormblessed]

Virginie wrote: "Diana Stormblessed wrote: "Virginie wrote: "Chapter 1:"

But she DIDN'T. She just thought of doing it. In the end (view spoiler)[ She told her the truth that neither would look good on her and offered to go shopping with her. She offered to help the woman who was marrying the man she loves to go shopping for a wedding dress. She's def a better woman than I. (hide spoiler)]

Missed this comment. (view spoiler)[I think Doug is on to them. I want Maddie to find out they were dating. It would be so much easier for everyone. (hide spoiler)]

[Diana Stormblessed]

I'm at 20%, chapter 5: I'm really confused about (view spoiler)[ the point of the siren going after Georgina. It's not like she would die. She's immortal. What's the gain for the Siren? (hide spoiler)]

[Diana Stormblessed]

I'm at 66% and my God is this book depressing. I just want to cry for her.

[Diana Stormblessed]

68% (view spoiler)[Omg. They need a human to go into the world of dreams. I bet they ask Seth! He's going to save her! (hide spoiler)]

[Diana Stormblessed]

73% (view spoiler)[Fuck yeah! Seth is going to save her! He knew the fake Georgie wasn't her. He'd know her anywhere. I love him again. (hide spoiler)]

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

66%: agreed, diana... you can really feel this building towards a finale, I think... read/comment more after work...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I had my suspicions about the endgame, but I feel like it's confirmed by 90%...

[Virginie]

Diana Stormblessed wrote: "Virginie wrote: "Diana Stormblessed wrote: "Virginie wrote: "Chapter 1:"

Yeah. I think I'm just frustrated because I want (view spoiler)[ everyone to have a happy ending! Seth, Georgina, Maddie, Roman and even Cody with his crush on Gabrielle!
I just don't see it happening... :'( (hide spoiler)]

[Virginie]

45% (view spoiler)[
So Roman really is still in love with her. I think I'd be fine with them being the endgame...

A few things I noticed: Seth saying Georgie was wearing ivory the first time they met, even though she wasn't. BUT she was wearing ivory as Letha at her wedding. Coincidence?
Also, it might be just in the dream Nyx's children gave her but Georgie described that feeling of connection and higher forces at play with Kyriakos that she's always had with Seth. With all this talk of going in circles and repeating the same mistakes, it sounds a little bit like reincarnation, somehow?

I really need to lay off with the theories lol (hide spoiler)]

[Virginie]

Random moment that made me laugh: Carter shamelessly cheating at Pictionary. Is that guy really an angel? x)

Better them crying than us 😈😈😈

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Finished...

So the theory/fact: (view spoiler)[ Seth is Leetha's husband from centuries ago, reincarnated... maybe so were the other good men Georgina felt bad about hurting/corrupting through the centuries... they're soul-mates...

There are still some details up in the air beyond that... but Seth called her Leetha on the last page, and his name was muddled in her mind during the rescue, and a number of other little hints from Carter/Jerome/etc...

This second contract, tho... did Leetha's husband sign a contract with heaven/hell?... I have no idea... (hide spoiler)]

Maddie: (view spoiler)[THAT blew up spectacularly... keeping that secret was stupid from the get-go... and Simone muddied the waters... (hide spoiler)]

Speaking of Simone: (view spoiler)[ That was another hint to the Seth/Georgina situation... Simone was clearly sent to lure Simon away from Georgina, more than just corrupting him some more... (hide spoiler)]

Maybe (view spoiler)[ Maddie will end up with Roman and everyone will have a happy ending. I don't know but this book just really really really feels like it's going to deliver a sunshine and rainbows ending and that's a main reason I'm so attached to it. I really need that after some of the books I've been reading. (hide spoiler)]

[Diana Stormblessed]

Virginie wrote: "45%

(view spoiler)[ The thought crossed my mind, too, that Seth is a reincarnation of her husband. But I wasn't sure how reincarnation fits into a Christian type book (angels and demons and such). Buuuttt... they did introduce other mythologies, like Nix, so I guess anything is possible. And as he starts to remember her from his old life the contract will be broken? Maybe? Pretty please?

I have an hour left in listening and then I will open your spoiler. I'm doing the 13 hour drive back to New Jersey tonight, over night. This series is the only thing I can think of that will keep me awake, so I might rush ahead and start book 6 tonight. I just can't wait. I'm so addicted.

Also, though I didn't open your spoiler when I hit reply a little of it showed up on my post. I deleted as soon as I can and hope I didn't spoil anything and you were just responding to previous posts. Don't tell me. I have 1 hour left.

[Virginie]

I'm hoping to finish book 5 tonight. I'll start book 6 right away.

@Diana: Go ahead and listen book 6 during your drive. I expect plenty of spoilers to open when I get there :D

Because I'll be driving I won't be adding comments until the end. But I'll probably be doing lots of gushing in the morning :-)

[Diana Stormblessed]

Ugh, I thought I was further in this book than I was. Still have 25% left. And the kids are not letting me listen. Naptime couldn't come soon enough.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Virginie wrote: "45%..."

Just read this... (view spoiler)[This was my thought, too, and I missed the ivory connection...

I have a lot of UF to pull from... Dark-Hunters had 2-3 reincarnation love stories...

Only thing I've read with Nyx in it is Women of the Otherworld #5, with the ghost witch... (hide spoiler)]

Lol we haven't left yet. Still trying to pack. I love driving through the night cuz they sleep and I have peaceful book time.

80%(view spoiler)[Seth broke up with Maddie. I'm kind of relieved. See, he felt out. He recognized her when she was in her Litha form. I'm satisfied already. (hide spoiler)]

Kelly Armstrong. I read it a long time ago and was pretty zoned out by book 5. It wasn't as enjoyable a series as this one. After book 2 it kind of went downhill for me.

Me too... the series really went downhill... I liked the Elena/Clay books the most... the Savannah trilogy at the end was a real letdown that I forced myself through long after I'd lost interest in the series...

Ditto. I loved Elena. Page annoyed me and it just went downhill from her books.

[Diana Stormblessed]

Finished! (view spoiler)[So Seth is definitely her husband reincarnated. He remembered her in Ivory, he recognized her in her Leetha form when he saved her from Nix, he called her Leetha at the end though he supposedly never knew that name. He must have been so upset when young Leetha cheated on him that he sold off his own soul to forget her before she signed her own contact. And now he's remembering. But then why didn't he become an employee of Hell? How come he just got reincarnated instead?

Also, she keeps focusing on the man in her dream. I'm more concerned with the child. How she can have a child. You know they'll find a way to break the contract and make her mortal again.

And the Maddie thing way cringeworthy, but they definitely deserved it. And poor Roman. I really like him. He needs to get with Maddie already so everyone can be HEA.

Iain just read your comments above. Simone coming for Seth and the comment that she was there for that Imp who got Georgie to sell her soul was my first clue that Seth was a bigger part in all this. That he was either someone from Leetha's past or had a contract of his own. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yup, that's my guess too. Seth to the rescue, woohoo! (hide spoiler)]

[Diana Stormblessed]

No! My post got deleted! Really quickly to recap it: 45% into Succubus Revealed theory:(view spoiler)[ It's obvious hell wants Georgina away from Seth and is giving her anything she could possibly want to keep her mind off of him, including a Seth 2.0 choreographer. And they're keeping Andrea sick to keep him in Seattle and away from Georgina in Vegas. I love how Roman is determined to solve this for her. I love him. I really want to know what's up with this second contact. (hide spoiler)] ok, gas fill up over. Back to the drive.

[Diana Stormblessed]

Finished. (view spoiler)[Poor Roman. That was not the ending I envisioned for him. And I knew Carter was her guardian angel. One plot issue I had with the series as a whole: if Seth sold his soul way back when, wouldn't the immortals be about to see it in his soul? At least the imps I'd think. How did Hugh not know this? (hide spoiler)] I'm so sad that I'm done with this series. I really enjoyed it.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

60%: (view spoiler)[CALLED IT (hide spoiler)]

:D

[Virginie]

Finished book 5 last night. (view spoiler)[ Not much to say, I agree with all your comments!
I thought the same thing about Seth being not only Letha's husband reincarnation, but also all the "good" man she met over the centuries.

I'm really sad about Erik's death. I'm convinced it was a hit ordered by Hell, maybe even by Jerome.

Also, that moment when Roman comes to pick up Georgina with flowers and all, sees her and immediately says "Go to him". So sad. He's a great guy (apart from murderous tendencies) and really supportive. (hide spoiler)]

[Virginie]

25% in Succubus Revealed (view spoiler)[

Wow, that transfer is fishy! It arrived immediately after she mentions Seth calling her Letha? Hell is really bent on keeping her away from Seth... (hide spoiler)]

[Virginie]

(Urgh, I'm dying to open those spoilers!)

Yup, I agree. I didn't even realize (view spoiler)[ Andrea's sickness could have been caused by Hell.

Roman is such a sweetheart. There's been several mentions of his stubbornness and how, when he's focused on something, he won't let go. I like that he's channeling this to help Georgina instead of going on a killing spree. I have the feeling that exposing a hellish screw-up is only a bonus to him. (hide spoiler)]

It's a bit annoying, to be honest. Between this, (view spoiler)[ her putting her Oroboi-induced hallucinations on alcohol in book 5, and not even suspecting Dante in book 4... (hide spoiler)]
