Rating/Review: 3 stars. This is a book I've been needing to read for a while as it completes a trilogy that I have really enjoyed overall. It was my first foray into paranormal romance as well and I kind of wish I would have read the books closer together.
I really enjoyed the characters and the action in this book but the ending felt a little rushed and I felt it needed more romance overall. It read more like a mystery than a romance for me. Also, I don't believe there were any paranormal aspects like in the first two books of the series. I LOVED the heroine's fan though (LOL!).

No problem. I expected that.
when the task has page count, if we read 3 books and reach the number of pages, the last member of the team has to read a book too?

Each teammate will need to participate in each task, but may take a pass for one task during the course of the challenge. For some tasks, no passes will be allowed.

HI Kat - I know I ask this each round, but for99. Each teammate lists 5 favorite books. Select books from 2 different teammates and read them.
If my favourite book is in a series, but the others are at a different point in the series, can they do with the next one they are up to in that same series?
Thanks!
(Sorry - I'm under the pump for the next month or more, and wanted to sort this out in advance ;)

Series rule applies to that task. 😊
Hi! I’m just wondering if it’s acceptable for Task 2-1 All team members read a book by the same author, if it’s okay for Shan~A~ to read A Court of Thorns and Roses and for me to read A Court of Wings and Ruin?

Unless otherwise specified you can read the same or different books as long as they qualify for the task. There are some tasks where the books have to be different, that is spelled out though.

can we use this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I'm not sure about the page count as there is one with very low page count and different title in the editions available.

Yes, you can use that book. When there are multiple Kindle editions released on the initial publication date, you are free to use any of them. In this case, you would NOT use the one with 93 pages as that is below the minimum for this challenge. But the other two both have the same date and page count of 162.
