Thanks Nicole! Although I liked Marie Lu's writing style I didn't like Legend that much, I hope this is better? :)

message 20: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Switched to Stone Cove Island by Suzanne Myers and finished it today. :)


message 21: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments How was it?


message 22: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi It was quite good, though I am disappointed with the last part where the mystery gets solved. Also it had unnecessary romance that didn't lead to anything much. :(


message 23: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I hate unnecessary romance.


message 24: by Dany (new)

Dany A.a (itsdany3) | 141 comments Oh god, me too! I also hate when charactets fall in love after half a page -.-


message 25: by Mandiann (last edited Dec 02, 2014 08:21AM) (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Yes, insta love is terrible too!! But I think I hate it more when the author throws in a romance that doesn't add anything at all to the story.


message 26: by Mehsi (last edited Dec 02, 2014 08:29AM) (new)

Mehsi Same here. If it had some kind of use, but it felt out of place 90% of the time.
We have a mystery, a storm that ripped through the island, add some die-hard old family stuff/customs. Oh and then magically the guy she kind of had an eye on likes her and they share some kisses but mostly are together for the mystery. It felt like they were friends with benefits instead of lovers. Especially Charlie, I didn't get any vibes from him that said he likes our main character. And it was just a bit too coincidental he was on the island during the time the storm happened (he moved/left some time ago to work somewhere), which also meant he got stuck since the docks got destroyed.

I'm about halfway, I think. But I wouldn't want to invade your blind date, lol. Looks like you guys are both enjoying it too, though!


message 33: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Yes, we certainly are. :o) I'm only 32% finished because I'm reading several books right now and I am so busy otherwise. Tomorrow after work I am going to my daughter's CNA ceremony. She's applying to the RN program in May. :o)

I have crashed other blind dates before, but what the heck! LOL

I loved the series. At first I was hesitant to read them so I always put off reading it but they were really good. I definitely recommend reading the series.


Nicole *TheRoseAndTheStar* Grate then Jess, thank you! I'll add it to my list

Trisha, I am very sorry you did not enjoy Dissonance. I mean to start it tonight.

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Mandiann, thank you, and I'm glad you liked your pick too! I am on ch. 6 of Dissonance, so we'll see. I'm taking my time with it though because I'm not too into it and I'm so behind (as you know)! LOL
