Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

I'm the only one who finished the last one. Or at least I'm the only who commented about finishing it. When do we want to start this one?

Sorry, Sunny, I keep forgetting to comment on the last one!! I plan to read this one very soon! Maybe later this week!

I'm not doing to good a job of keeping up with things myself. Seems like this month just started and now we're half through it!

I'll plan to start this one tomorrow or maybe Sunday =D

I started this one yesterday (Sun) afternoon and finished last night around 10. It was a page turner and then some!

For some reason, I didn't make too many notes this time around while reading, but here are the comments I made for the entire book:

(view spoiler)[Alex gets a strange note. And it will probably relate to one of his patients -- since it was at his office he found it. I'm not overly intrigued by the note thing. As I'm pretty sure it's not related to the ...

Two assassins! That's a nifty twist. And I win the prize =) I figured correctly that Martina would take out Lawlor!

I wonder if someone was hired to kill Martina?

The hostage scene was a doozy! Enjoyed the way Bree handled the situation.

Gina Davis is, of course, T-R-O-U-B-L-E. I'm rolling my eyes at this situation. Really? Another female patient obviously making a play for Alex ... I really think he's old enough to know better! He should have referred her to someone else.

Aha! More assassins --
Franks, Cruz, and the couple from Canada.

Assassins gone wild describes this book!

Black Friday -- WOWZERS!!!

I'm not usually on the side of the bad guys, but cheered when the remaining 4 got together and went after the ones who hired them -- and I wasn't too surprised when the road went back to Victorious. To be honest, I was sort of hoping Martina would escape. And am glad the couple got away.

What an ending!

Wonder who will be in office the next book?! (hide spoiler)]

Looking forward to the next installment!
