Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, Science Fiction > Steampunk, Historical Fiction, Young Adult

Description: With the wedding only days away, the Ministry is thrown into turmoil when another murder is committed by a shape-shifter. But this time the newspapers make the connection to werewolves – and the Ministry. Suddenly the attention is focused on Lichfield Towers and its residents as the police investigate and parliament wants to shut the organization down.

It could spell the end of everything Charlie has come to love.

As the authorities close in and ministry secrets are exposed, past allies can no longer be trusted. Can Charlie save her home, her loved ones, and herself? Or will she lose Lincoln and her friends forever?

They know!!!

I was waiting for another book to load and I kind of cheated and read the intro and I can only tell you THAT THEY KNOW!!!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I downloaded it and I will be reading it this week. Can't wait!

[Elsa]

This is my reading schedule so far



I might be able to squeeze it before or after it, so I can read it this week.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Wow! Look @ that schedule!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I have started this one.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I so love this series! I never trusted Julia. She finally did it this time. Who is spilling secrets? This is so not good!

[Elsa]

I want so bad to put down the book I have going now and start this one.

[Elsa]

I went ahead and put down that horrible read I was reading. I got to 50%. At least I gave it more than enough of my time. One of the very few I DNF. Genera says it's a Romantic comedy, but I read over 50% of those pages and I didn't come across anything remotely funny. It was more cringe than funny. Why would anyone go along with something so stupid?! What type of person/friend flat out lie to everyone close to her?! Horrible desperate female looking for a man to marry, horrible.

Back to this story.....I'm on chapter two. I never realized how long the chapters in these books were.

How far did you get yesterday Leigh?

[Elsa]

Chapter 1
We meet Jack & Hannah Langley at their home Frankigham Manor aka Freak House
(view spoiler)[So their definition of demon is totally different from my definition. Jack is a demon, he can manipulate fire. But to me that's not a demon, that's an individual with special powers, like seers ability, and any psychic. They visit them to see if they give up more info on the gate located on their property, no go though, jack is tight lip on that and poor Alice doesn't get any new info. Then on their way home the newspaper reads Mauling (hide spoiler)]

[Elsa]

I didn't know Lady (haha!) Hardcourt was such a floozy.
(view spoiler)[ First is was Andrew, Lincoln, Seth, and now Swinburn among those we don't really know about. (hide spoiler)]

I know. It was pretty useless. I don't agree with their definition of demon, either. I knew the news was going to be trouble.

She was a very hateful, wicked witch!!!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Wow!!! There were some serious twists to this one! Loved it!!!!

[Elsa]

Depends how much time I have tonight to read I might finish tomorrow.

I can definitely see that. In fact I always thought that she was evil and not a very nice person.

Enjoy! Can't wait to hear what you think of it!

[Elsa]

Yesterday was a horrible day when it came to reading, I got maybe 2 pages read. I'm having withdrawals hehe

I should get some reading this morning and afternoon and then (busy tonight from 6 - 10) maybe some late night reading if I'm not to drunk from the get together tonight.

I'm at the part where they just left the Queen. Still not sure on how spilled the beans, but I have narrowed it down to two.

[Elsa]

I finished and I just couldn't believe how far she stooped! And then to end it like that, and she was ok with that. Andrew even told her they would have been happy somewhere else but noooooo she had to stay close to Lincoln.

The other two snitches were a surprise.

I was going back and forth with Harriet. I'm still not too sure about her.

and what is going to happen with Eva's feeling towards Seth.

I can't wait till the next book.

Julia was crazy until the end. She was fixated on Lincoln and did whatever she thought could get him. Julia and Andrew deserved each other. Not really sure about Harriet. She did help them in the end but was it really to help herself.

Congrats Elsa!
