How many chapters/day? I have enjoyed this series.

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
10 a day? I've enjoyed it, too.

Holy cow, a lot happens in the first few chapters!

He's still not hanging out with Maggie.

All the old players in one big game. Nicodemus must be crazy!

I thought Harry would pick Thomas. He seemed like the obvious choice...

I am behind but I will try to catch up today.

WTH! Harry has to team up with Nicodemus. Nothing says love like "Yes, I will go to Hell to steal something from Hades while teaming up with Nicodemus, the ultimate sickoo."

WTH...Michael!

I think this might be my favorite book of the series so far. There is a lot going on, and it's not necessarily all Harry jumping in to save the day.

We stayed up tonight/this morning to watch the meteor shower, so I've been reading to stay awake. I stopped at chapter 32.

I missed the meteor shower. School started for my daughter and having both grandbabies in the morning has greatly reduced my reading. I will catch up. I am on chapter 10 now.

The meteor shower wasn't as fabulous as I was hoping, but we saw a few. My kids don't start school until next week.

Do you think it was because I you live in the city and the lights disturb the show? Hunter, oldest grandson, starts Friday. Having one extra in the morning will take a little time to get use to but they are too cute.

I figured it was partly because we live in town - but we live kind of on the edge of some farmland, so there are only streetlights on one side of us. The other side is field. But, you could still see the lights of town in the distance, so...

It was still neat to watch.

I wish I would have known about it. I might have stayed up.

Nicodemus is stacking the deck with some serious bad guys. WTH! Harry is pregnant with a baby spirit! How does that happen?

I was happy to see Michael. I missed him.

Lol!

Grey seems pretty freaky.

Yes, indeed.

Holy Batman(Butters)!

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
Gotta love Butters! He's just making the most of it :)


message 22: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I had always liked him. He was trying to take up the slack since Harry and Molly are not leading the charge.

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
So you would think Maggie would have some sort of magic. She's got to be about 10 now. I would think Harry would need to start teaching her how it use it soon.


message 24: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Michael gave himself up for Harry and Murphy. WTH!

I am ready for us really to meet Maggie. Yes, she should have some magic.

Charity is going to kill Harry for getting Michael involved. I am glad Michael is back as a guardian. Nicodemus was scared just a little.

Grey is on Harry's side.

Holy Crackers! Butters is wheeling the sword. Harry delivered a baby spirit. WTH!


message 28: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I agree with you, Sheri. This is my favorite book.

What are we going to read next week?


message 30: by Sheri, Bookworm (new)

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
So some interesting things happened in this book. Grey was a surprise. I mean, I was wondering through the whole book what he was exactly... But interesting. And he has Harry's respect now, so maybe we'll see more of him later.

Butters was another surprise. Out of all the people who I would've guessed to have a sword he would not have been one of them. But Murphy never wanted one, and he obviously knows what he's getting himself into. He's shown himself capable so far.

Molly... It will be interesting to see where her character goes.

We need a new series now. We had talked about the Fever series before, and I think that was one Alyssia wanted to read with us.

Some other series I want to read are women of the otherworld by Kelly Armstrong, the shifter series by Rachel Vincent, Magic bites by Ilona Andrews...

Sorry I'm posting this from my phone so I can't post links. There are more, and I would be open to suggestions.

I loved Butters! I never expected him to take up the sword either. Where was Thomas? Molly seems to be adjusting better than Harry to her new position. Grey was an interesting character. He is like Kincaid. He can be for you or against you. Definitely one to watch.

All of those sound good. Lupi series by Eileen Wilks is very good. It is UF.Tempting Danger is the first one. Karen Chance series is good Touch the Dark another UF with time travel.


message 34: by Lys (new)

Lys (lysrowan) I'm trying not to read spoilers, but wanted to say that I am up for anything.
Of the things listed, I think the Magic Bites series was the only one that I had an interest in already, but I am always happy to explore new books. :D

I would definitely be up for that.


message 36: by Lys (new)

Lys (lysrowan) Oh, it looks like I also had Touch the Dark as a to-read.


message 37: by Sheri, Bookworm (new)

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I would be good with either of those. I think I have the first few already of each of them.


message 38: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Either of them would be fine with me. Somebody pick.

I took my daughter, Hannah. to watch The Giver (The Giver #1) by Lois Lowry . It was so good! I have to finish that series. Have either of you read it?


message 40: by Lys (new)

Lys (lysrowan) i'm up for anything!

I read the giver a LONG time ago.
Nothing else though. I don't even really remember it, to be honest.


message 41: by Sheri, Bookworm (new)

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I've never read it.

So it sounds like we all want to reach Karen Chance or Ilona Andrews...eeny meeny miny moe?

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
My daughter really enjoyed it. Her class will be reading it.


message 43: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
Can we read Touch the Dark (Cassandra Palmer, #1) by Karen Chance ? I am on the waiting list for Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews .


message 44: by Sheri, Bookworm (new)

Sheri | 13547 comments Mod
I'm good with that.
