I read zero to the bone Gustaf but for the life of me I don't remember it"

I bought it thinking I would read it for SH sometime this summer but I'm pretty sure I won't like it, so I've been trying to avoid it lol.

[Wende]

I gave it three stars so that means I didn't like it. Have no reason why though as I don't remember

[Trip]

Completion Post - Task 7
Book: Special Delivery
Author: Heidi Cullinan
Pages: 290/GR
How it fits: First published in 2010
Date completed: 2020/09/28
Rating/Review: 5 stars

I read this book for the first time about two years ago and I really, really liked it. It was even better the second time around though.

Heidi Cullinan writes amazing book and extremely hot sex and I've been here for it in every book I've read by her. This one though. It's so very hot. I can't even...

The way Sam and Mitch got together and figured each other out was just perfect. It was slow and rocky but you always knew that they got each others back. Of course Randy creeped me out the first time I read this but having read the rest of the series I saw him in a different light this time around.

5 really hot stars.

I went in to this book being sure I wouldn’t like it. I only picked it up because it fit a reading challenge I’m doing and I own the audio for some reason. Let’s be honest, these type of books usually doesn’t work for me. I’m not a fan of gore or the men in my books being in violent situations. Imagine my surprise when I ended up really liking this book.
I stayed up well past my bed time listening to this because I just had to know what happened next.

Sure, there’s a lot of violence going on. And blood. Oh my, there’s some bloody scenes. Yuck, I don’t deal well with blood. Not even reading about it. But underneath all of that is a beautiful love story about two men meeting each other under the worst of circumstances yet being utterly perfect for each other. Two men helping each other being their better selves. Bringing out the absolute best in each other. And that, I was there for. The character development in this book is absolutely incredible and yet after all of that development they are still so very... them.

There were some weird point of view changes, probably made harder to follow because of the audio. That made me have to go back at times, but that and the blood are about all I can think of that I didn’t enjoy.

I’ll be thinking about Jack and D for a very, very long time and going to try my hardest to get a hold of those short stories.

[Trip]

Incredible Wende & Gustaf, so fast. I hope the books were lots of fun and thanks for double ups, appreciate so much! 💕

I probably signed up way too many challenges and buddy reads lately, but i am weak. I didn't consider how much time work takes up of my reading time🤣

[Gustaf]

Haha!
I was listening to it so have been listening all day.

[Emilienne]

Ew, I need to finish the student prince (last book for the hunt, yay), to post my SH completion posts, and to read Mercy Thompson.

Everything is fine!

[Gustaf]

I'm actually not disliking Zero at the bone as much as I thought I would. Really middle of the road so far. Not bad. I'm liking the Mc's.

[Trip]

Lol i still have two sh books, im going to finish atlantis unleased then start those. Hoping get them both done tomorrow night. But might be last minute posts at this rate 🤣

Review:
I loved getting to know the mercy that was not as sure of herself again. In this book she is trying to balance Adam and Samuel Cornick (sort of Werewolf prince as his father is the leader) Adam and Samuel both want Mercy and Mercy doesn't really want either. I will admit the griping got on my nerve. Samuel was suppose to be close to or over 1000 years old and he was acting like a spoiled child.

Review:
I learned maybe it is best not to go back and read a beloved series from the beginning if you have not re-read them in years! Holy cow Adam was so dislikable. Samuel was a teenwolf not a grown ass wolf. Woe is me. Mercy don't want me. I did like the snark but the humor is lacking in this book.

Amazing Wende! 💕

Im glad you still enjoyed them, even with some things being more annoying now. I definitely avoid rereads partially for that reason, my tastes have changed and so many i probably wouldn't enjoy as much now.

Oh and can update links/pgs for first kindle edition, thanks xx

[Trip]

Thank you Gustaf 💕

[Gustaf]

It's crazy that we only need one more book and then we're done with this task too.
I've had a lot of time being able to listen both yesterday and today though, so that helped out a lot.

[Trip]

Yeah, thank you and Wende for that fast reading! 🎉

Halloween/half term week shall be my chance to speed/double up on some 😂

I'm a bit scared honestly. I've written the whole thing and now other people are going to do their thing with what I've written...
Anyway, I managed to read fast at the same time I wrote the thing so it probably won't even show.

[Wende]

Oh my goodness!! Battle Ground is out
