Kristie | 5928 comments This book was great! Hope you all enjoy it. :)


Tammie | 1392 comments I’m about 3 chapters in…ended up taking my daughter to the hospital today so I’m behind. Will check in tomorrow.

Melissa | 597 comments I hope your daughter is okay!


Tammie | 1392 comments She's doing better...spent the night in the ER and moved to ICU bed this morning. She's going to be fine...she's pretty much stable and just need to eat and sleep...sleeping is very hard to do in a hospital :(


Tammie | 1392 comments So I just finished Chapter 5.

I like it so far...the pace especially.
I find myself wondering if there is going to be a love triangle thing with Adam and Samuel?? Samuel is mated...sooo this could be interesting. Am I reading this right...Samuel is mated right?

Still haven't even guessed what's going on with these humans being involved...any thoughts?

JL Roberts (jlroberts) | 216 comments I hope your daughter gets better soon. A sick child is the worst.

I ended at chapter 7. Sorry, I couldn't stop reading. No Samuel is not mated. He had been married before but I'm not sure they were considered mates.
Mercy definitely has feelings for both of these guys and I have a feeling they aren't going to make choosing easy on her.
It sounds like the Humans are working with some werewolves but for what is anyone's guess.
I'm loving the characters so far and the world of supernaturals that is being built.

Melissa | 597 comments I am only on ch.2 :( But that's just because I haven't taken the time to read! UGH! I better get going!!


Tammie | 1392 comments Thanks JL...She went home today.
Now she needs to rest! I'll be dog sitting for a few days to give her some time to recover...love having my 'dog time' :)

I'm behind too Melissa...I'm about chapter 8.
I really do like this book...the pace is excellent.

Melissa | 597 comments I just finished chapter 5. I really like it so far! There is enough explanation of the different creatures, but not too much. I’ve not read a book with werewolves and skin walkers and far before now. I am curious about whether Adam will make it or not.


Tammie | 1392 comments I finished ch 10 yesterday...am going to wait for you both to catch up. Looking at Feb challenges, I've decided I want to hold off finishing until 2/1 anyway.
It's going to work for several non-UNO challenges :)

Melissa | 597 comments I just finished chapter 10. I wasn’t expecting the vampire frenzy!

JL Roberts (jlroberts) | 216 comments I'll be finishing up chapter 10 tonight!


message 17: by Melissa (new) - added it

Melissa | 597 comments What non UNO challenges are you doing? :)


Tammie | 1392 comments I’ve got Turf Wars going on now and I’ll be starting 6 new individual challenges that mostly go by finish dates starting tomorrow…I’m a mod with AMMP…mostly those challenges.

None at the moment, but I usually do Tower Teams after Bingo and then Pass the Parcel shortly after that.


message 20: by JL (new) - rated it 5 stars

JL Roberts (jlroberts) | 216 comments A lot packed into 5 chapters. There is definitely going to be a little love triangle between Adam, Mercy, and Sam. Old love vs. New. I already love Stephan but the rest of his Seeth(?) may bring future trouble.


message 21: by Melissa (new) - added it

Melissa | 597 comments I agree. I actually just finished, but I'll stick to chapter 10. I'm not seeing Mercy's interest in Adam - it seems like she's more interested in Sam? I like Zee - although I don't feel like I'm really getting to know him - but the fae seem interesting. Holy mansion of vampires.


message 22: by Melissa (new) - added it

Melissa | 597 comments I wonder about some of the things she seems to put in there - like the religious parts, or the part about Thompson - the Canadian mapper - it seems disjointed to me, but what do you all think?


Tammie | 1392 comments I'm almost done too...will finish this tomorrow early so I can start on my UNO books.

I think Adam has a claim of some sort on her that she doesn't know about....hmmm
Based on where I'm at in this book, I'm thinking this will be left up for grabs...more to come with #2

She does seem to be religious. I think it comes from her exposure as a child her guardian I think had a lot to do with it. The lamb around her neck did work on the master vampire. And what a creepo that lady is.

I need to re-read for the Canadian mapper...I must have glossed over that. Will check back tomorrow on an opinion on that.

There were subtle hints thrown in. Like when Bran told her he told Adam to watch over her and she was bummed because she thought it was always more.
Love Zee! It seems he and Mercy are close so I'm sure we'll get to know him more.

Yes, I think I missed some of those breadcrumbs. Do you think this will be developed more in the next book?

Hey ladies...I'm still not finished...ended up working all day! I've been so slow (real estate) and of course when I'm getting reading to go on vacation I get busy...I've got about 30 minutes left.

I just finished the part where everyone is rating out Jerry and they are off to find Adam and his daughter.

I noticed Sam's alarm when he found out Adam had a pic of Mercy in his bedroom...she wasn't aware either...told you...definitely something more to this!

JL Roberts (jlroberts) | 216 comments I just finished the book. Let me know when you guys are done so we can discuss :)


Tammie | 1392 comments I finished last night...I think Melissa is finished.

So Adam and Mercy went on a date and Sam is living with her 'for a time'. Talk about a major love triangle...what did you all think about the ending?

I think the claim Adam put on Mercy was an actual claim not just to protect her. And just to say, I'm team Adam all the way!

I get Gerry. A parent would do anything for their child, but I know I would do anything for my parents so sentimentally, yes, but I don't know why he thought his dad, a year-old wolf would be able to challenge Bran who is hundreds of years old. He wasn't thinking with his head.

I agree...that was a weak part of the plot. I thought the whole witch thing was hard to follow as well...I think that's typical of 1st in a series books though.


Tammie | 1392 comments I'll try and check in tomorrow a few time...it's a travel day for me...I'll be reading though!
