The Others Series By Ann Bishop - Restarting March 26th 2018

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

No one creates realms like New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop. Now in a thrilling new fantasy series, enter a world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities—vampires and shape-shifters among them—who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans.

As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.

Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.

join me and Tana reading this book .. very excited for it!

I am! :) have you started yet?"

I have. I started last night and read for like 5 hours so I'm 75% done.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

It's longer than I expected. Almost 500 pages.

I know, I was so surprised when I looked at the length in my kindle! Do you like it so far?"

It's a definite 4 star so far. If it had any real romance it would probably be a 5 star.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Have you started yet?

[Jackie]

I'm going to start soon as well.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Isaboe wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Have you started yet?"

Yep, just finished the prologue, and I like it a lot! :)"

I liked it too. ^-^ It's a bit of a change from what I've been reading lately.

(view spoiler)[ they only let them see pictures to facilitate the visions. Otherwise they keep them as clueless/innocent as possible to better control them.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

(view spoiler)[ I'm definitely hating Asia more and more as the book goes on. -____-(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

I'm at 87% and Asia (view spoiler)[ gets bitchier as the book goes on. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm done!

(view spoiler)[ I'm very torn about whether to give this a 4 or 5 star rating. The book was amazing and deserves a five star but it was missing romance which is one of the main things I love in books. >.< Gah!

Anyway I liked Meg as a character. I sympathized with awkwardness and innocence about the world. I disliked Asia . Simon and Sam were cute. I like how they got along with Meg. Grandfather Erubus was also cute. I liked him.

I still don't know what Tess was but she was sweet in her own way. I'm glad that all the bad guys except the controller who is still at large died in such a gruesome way. I was very satisfied to read that. I hope in the next book that the Others torture him in such a way that he wishes he was never born! lol. ^-^

Can't wait for the next book!!!(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

I'll join you guys. I've been wanting to read it for a while. Have you guys been enjoying it?

Yeah it's really good!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Would you interested in reading the next book? I'm picking it up today and was hoping to BR it.

[Twila]

I keep forgetting to update this thread
Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ Things are finally picking up. And Simon is weird. He's really short-tempered. I think I totally would quit :) (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ I just really want Simon to come back now. Things are usually interesting when he's around. I wonder if he's going to blow up when he finds out about this leash thing. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Sam is so cute! I want my own wolf pup now :) (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

This book is really slow, but there's something about it that keeps me drawn in.

[Twila]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ I've read a preview for Murder of Crows and a romance between Simon and Meg must happen. It must! And Asia seemed pretty nuts to me. Overall, it was pretty slow but still very enjoyable. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm actually on to Visions in Silver if anyone gets to that in the next 2 days.

Isaboe wrote: "Beginning of chapter 2 [spoilers removed]"

I agree. (view spoiler)[Keeping the details lets her create a more vivid and realistic world in my opinion. (hide spoiler)]

[Jackie]

Isaboe wrote: "48% (somewhere in chapter 11) [spoilers removed]"

Yes, I absolutely hate her! (view spoiler)[I can't believe that she's only doing it for money and a tv gig. She's such a fake and I can't stand her parts at all. At the same time, I like how her point of view is incorporated into the story. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I get why he's so short-tempered though. I agree, things are lots more interesting when he's around. I really like reading from his point of view as well. Yes, can we all have a Sam?! I want a safety buddy too! (hide spoiler)]

[Jackie]

Twila wrote: "Finished! [spoilers removed]"

I have to agree that it was slow. However, something just kept me hooked and I had to give it four stars. I really liked the world building in this as well as the dynamic characters. I felt the world was very creative and original. Can't wait to read the next book!
