Part II - Ye Olde Sisters
(view spoiler)[OMG I am loving this! I haven't been able to put this down and I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning to read this. Lou and Reid are so cute together.

[Blue Butterfly]

Part III - Harbinger
(view spoiler)[I'm glad Reid is going after Lou. Let's hope he doesn't get himself killed in the effort. (hide spoiler)]

[Blue Butterfly]

[Brinley]

Up to part 2
(view spoiler)[ I love her for attacking the Archbishop. That was amazing. I can't wait to see how Reid attempts to deal with her, she is quite something. I want to what Loy did to be so scared that she's was hunted, I'm really enjoying this so far! (hide spoiler)]

[Brinley]

Up to part three
(view spoiler)[ Oh gosh, I love Reid and Lou together. All I'm saying is that they better not get separated, I love them with my whole heart.

Is Lou the archbishops daughter?? Does he already know that she's a witch?? I'm kinda confused due to that cliffhanger chapter ending, but oh well. I'm absolutely loving this so far (hide spoiler)]

[Brinley]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I loved this book! Reid and Lou are the cutest together. Im so happy that he got over his beliefs and went after Lou. I wonder if there's a way they can remove the potency from Lou's blood, because otherwise she'll be hunted forever. I'm excited to learn more about the blood witches and their powers (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

I'll start this one after I finish Opium and Absinthe, so maybe tomorrow!

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Starting this now!

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

38%
(view spoiler)[I think the witch they're trying to catch, the queen or something, is Lou's mother.
Also, I'm guessing the angsty parts in this might be about either everyone finding out she's a witch, or she herself revealing herself as the witch, either saving someone (most likely Reid) or not.
I'm really enjoying this!! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Listening now!

[Aly]

Part 1 (view spoiler)[ I hate that this world is all patriarchal and treat women as lesser, as property. I'm glad there are women opposing it, even though they are treated as witches if they do.
Hopefully the witches can use their powers to change things (hide spoiler)]

Hmm, interesting guesses. I'm glad you're liking this!

Yeah!(view spoiler)[ I really liked the way society was written. I don't know why, but the way the different beliefs of the Church are shown and justified in this, and how obvious it is (and isn't to others) how wrong they are.....it was really good! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

I actually finished it, and I really liked it!!(view spoiler)[ This is one of the few books that I have read that have witches......and it's made me want to read more!!
The ending was awesome, I'm really glad no one important died! The archbishop being her father was surprising......also, why did he try to drown her in the beginning then?
Reid being a witch....is surprising, but not really, somehow.....there was something special about him, but I didn't guess it would be this. (hide spoiler)]Hope you're liking it too!!

[Aly]

Part 2 (view spoiler)[ Oh damn! Lou's mom is back and the head guy slept with her mom or some other witch and fathered a child. I forgot about that part.
I love how close Lou and Reid have gotten, they're so sweet together (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Aly wrote: "Part 2 ."

(view spoiler)[Those parts were really surprising....but in a good way! And they're really sweet!! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Trisha wrote: "Aly wrote: "Part 2 ."

[spoilers removed]"

Yeah I adore them

[Aly]

Drifting (view spoiler)[ so many things are happening! Lou's dad is the head witch hunter, Reid is related to the royal family! I love this so much. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm glad the arch bishop guy is dead, but Lou's mom is unfortunately still alive. I wonder what will happen in the next book now that they're facing the witches and the hunters? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Trisha wrote: "I actually finished it, and I really liked it!! This is one of the few books that I have read that have witches......and it's made me want to read more!!

Oh yeah (view spoiler)[ Reid being a witch is crazy and the idea that maybe the boy children the witches basically threw away have powers. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Aly wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

Yeah(view spoiler)[ I think I would have preferred the archbishop to be alive and the mother to be dead.
I'm really excited to start the next one! I 'm hoping the mother is killed, preferably by Lou! And I'm really curious about the La Rouge witches. How are they different? Do they have different rules? Also, there was a bit of a doubt I had in the ending, what exactly did they mean by "witch La Voisin" It should translate to "The Neighbour witch", but I don't know why Reid was so frustrated bu that fact? (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Trisha wrote: "I actually finished it, and I really liked it!! This is one of the few books that I have read that have witches......and it's made me want to read more!!

(view spoiler)[Yeah! It makes you think that there was so much potential that the witches might have thrown away.....what if they were forming a society or something to that effect on their own? All the male witches? And no one knew? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Trisha wrote: "Aly wrote: "Trisha wrote: "I actually finished it, and I really liked it!! This is one of the few books that I have read that have witches......and it's made me want to read more!!

Exactly. Maybe more of that will come up in book 2

I hope so! Do you want to read the next one too?

[Aly]

Yes! Do you have time next week?

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Aly wrote: "Yes! Do you have time next week?"

Um, would you mind reading next month? I have exams in the first two weeks of November, so I'll be free? Or I could just read it slowly (depending on the story) and you could set the date for like 27th?

[Aly]

It's a buddy read in my other group that already started, so the 27th would work for me. Then you'll have 2 weeks from there to add comments.

If that doesn't work, no worries.

Okay! The 27th it is! Will you get the thread?

[Aly]

Yes I will

[Danique]

Do you guys recommend this one? I've heard about it before, but I've kinda been putting it off.

Yes! I really enjoyed the story of witches, the enemies to lovers romance, and all the twists that are sprinkled in

[Elena]

Life happened and I'm starting it today (one day later), sorry :)

[Stormy]

Am just started this yesterday

[Stormy]

I'm not liking the pace of this book

[Stormy]

Also I went into this but not knowing anything and to me it feels like it's sacked back in the olden days and they're not the sort of books I go for

[Stormy]

Not quite sure what to think of Reid

[Elena]

It's ok if you drop it. I like those kind of books with historical setting, magic, brothels, taverns, thieves etc. So I'm going to continue reading. It's pretty much one of my favourite settings.
(view spoiler)[Still wonder what is the issue with the ring. (hide spoiler)]
