Woohooo! I'm ready to start this book!

Welcome! You're welcome to join :).
I've read about 100 pages now and I must say that it is a fine story, but it isn't great yet. I feel like not much has happened yet and it's mostly background information till now. How do you feel about it? It might be different if you know the whole story?
I LOVED this book! Read it in January! Can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy with y'all
I'm halfway through the book now and I like the character of Diana now. I like how she is getting to know herself better. The situation she is in does remind me a bit of our situation with this whole Corona thing now.

Way behind in all my reading for this month (& last) but I'm hoping to start reading this before the weekend.

I will catch my breath and catch you up ASAP.
Would it be alright if I join this group too? I'm currently on Chapter 16 of this book and I am LOVING it! If feel like Dianas and Matthews relationship is the most mature and accurate vampire/ non-vampire pairing I've read so far.
I have already read the first book and loved it. I will see, if I can squeeze a reread again or else can I join in for the other two books?
@Michelle, feel welcome! I don't know which chapter I'm on, but I'm at page 400 or so. I felt the beginning of the book was a bit dull. I felt nothing was really happening. But now I've come to like Diana and Matthews family. I'm not really a fan of the relationship between Diana and Matthew, but I'm not really a fan of Matthew overall. I feel he's a bit conservative and strict and secret. He makes me feel like a rebel. I wouldn't be able to stand his personality. (view spoiler)@Tahera We planned the other books already. you can join if you comment in the general buddy reads post. You can see when we planned them in the spreadsheet as well.

HAHA!!
I'm up to the last 150 pages of the book, so I'm really curious what will happen there. After your comment Ruthie, I'm even more curious ;). Will probably finish the book tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and will try to write some kind of review (though I'm not that good in writing reviews, since I haven't done it very often).

Okay, so I finished the book today and I still don't really like Matthew. He gives me the shivers being so overprotective. But I think it just doesn't really match my own personality and that's why. That's also why I would rate the book 3 stars; it was a little slow in the beginning, felt like a lot of background information and there is a lot of Matthew in the book.I do like how the book ends though, it makes me curious how it will continue. I also really liked all the other characters that are added in the end and the role that they and Marcus will (hopefully) play in the next book. Those are all characters I like. This will hopefully get my mind of Matthew a bit as well :). Having that in mind, I might like the next books in the series better than this first one ;p.
Has anyone been able to finish this book as well this month, or still busy reading? :)

It's no problem! I'll follow up on this topic during this month ;)
So, apparently because I'm reading this on a 6" e-reader I'm only 1011/2400 pages into it. Doing what I can to finish before the end of the month, sorry everyone.

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.
Happy Buddy Reading!
