message 103: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments lol hey I was right there with you I swear I was reading it Charlotte too 😂


And sounds good Bella! 🙂 hoping for a little stoker discovery or a little romance.


message 104: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I guess we liked the name Charlotte hahaha
Hoping for at least a kiss lol


message 105: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Sorry guys, I finished it last night. The baby didn't want to sleep in the morning and then he slept for 2 and a half hours in the afternoon so I read lol.


message 106: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments lol omg don’t be sorry!!! That’s good 👍

I’m about to go home and prep dinner and I’ll be reading too!

Was it good? 😊


message 107: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I did like the fact that we got to learn more about Stoker's past and just love him and Veronica. I did guess part of the mystery, but I def thought it was another good one in the series.


message 108: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Yay! I love them too. I think this would be a good tv series or something if it was done right


message 109: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments They should do it, yes.


message 110: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments I'm on Chapter 5 :) getting through books a little slower this week, but I'll keep reading today!
I'm not surprised that stoker is about to be accused of yet another murder lol


message 111: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I know right! Lmao he’s definitely ruffled some feathers along his journey in life!!!


message 112: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments And I’m only like 120 pages in Bella


message 113: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I am happy that we got a bit more of his back story in this book


message 114: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I’m looking forward to reading it :)



Do we wanna continue on or do like we did with the last book… read something in between this series?


message 115: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I'm fine either way though I cant get book 4 from my library until the 10th of April.


message 116: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Ok so any ideas you guys for a book to read in between??




SPOILERS BELLA!!!
And so I’m reading this morning and the two are about to go see Caroline to question her.. Stoker mentions her family is into plumbing supplies and Henry Stihls son was reading a book on drains…. Weird coincidence?


message 117: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Haven't thought of a book to be honest...we can have a lool at our list if anything jumps to mind?
I didn't even catch that about Caroline's family lol...I do remember the book about drains.

Melindam | 4427 comments Hello Ladies,

sorry to hijack your thread, but I would like to know if you happen to remember the characters' names from Book 1 (apart from Veronica) that could be used for UNO cards? 😅

Was wondering if there are characters whose names would work for 5, 8, 9 or skip? Thanks a lot.

Was wonde..."


The other main character was Stoker Templeton-Vane. I don't recall any others, but I read it years ago.


message 120: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Hello, no worries about the hijack haha...I used the first book for our February cards and I had a look at our team's spreadsheeet. Other than Veronica and Stoker, there is also Hugo Montgomerie. Oh...maybe aunt Nell, but she is dead but Veronica talks about her when remembering her past.


message 121: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Thank you, Kristie & Corina! :))

I was going to read it anyway, V-names are always useful. ;)


message 122: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Nut the dog lmao

Figgy


message 123: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments All good, Melinda :)
Nut and Figgy are in book 3 if you decide to go through the series ;)


message 124: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Finishing the book today!!! Finally!


message 125: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I finished! :)


message 126: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments And? what did you think? Did you suspect


message 127: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I guessed the main person


message 128: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I think Stoker loves Veronica and yeah I kinda guessed it


message 129: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Also, re our next read...I should have the 4th book on the 10th. I am happy to read another book in the meantime. If we wanted another one, we could choose one from our list or I'm thinking off A Fate Inked in Blood or maybe a classic like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights? Let me know what you think...I'm happy with whatever works :)


message 130: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Yup, he does. The mystery is not super difficult to guess but I do love their dynamic and relationship


message 131: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments All of those are on my list and I’m starting to collect the classics too so I’m good with either one of them. Wbu Bella? You up for a classic or A fate inked in blood?

I’m gonna put the next one on hold at the library for pick up around April 7th ish 🤣


message 132: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments And yeah once you really get in the book you can start narrowing it down

At first obviously I thought John was hiding and going to send for Charlotte later when everything died down.

Then I thought it was Henry’s son and Figgy


message 133: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Sounds good about our next read. Will see what Bella says :)
Yeah, my first thought was John hiding. But then I guessed the actual culprit but didn't think about the other one's involvement.


message 134: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Yeah same! What are you leaning towards more? Classic or fantasy???


message 135: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments To be honest, happy with eirher or haha


message 136: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Hmm okay well maybe we can do the fantasy one again?


message 137: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Sounds good to me. I have the book on my shelves. So I can start anytime you and Bella are ready :)


message 138: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I’m gonna look and see how much it is, but we might start WH first lol cause I already have it unless Bella has the fantasy one then I’ll get it instead of renting it


message 139: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I'm good with whatever works best. I have WH on my shelves and also the audiobook is free on audible. Curious to see if I still love it as much as when I was 17 lol. Just let me know, happy with either or ;)


message 140: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Okay let’s start that one and when Bella gets back to us we can go from there?


message 141: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Perfect


message 142: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Send me a message when you're starting it


message 143: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Okay well I’m good too!. I’m probably gonna start it tonight and when bells lets us know we can change it or keep going ??


message 144: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Yup, sounds good to me.


message 145: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Sorry idk why I didn’t see that you wrote back lmao 🤣


message 146: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Lol...all good. I will probably aim to start tomorrow night as I still have one more book to finish for UNO.


message 147: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Ok 👍


message 148: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments hey guys! I'm finishing up book 3 right now. Yesterday I read the part where stoker confronts Caroline and it was so sad!!! The fact that she did all that, left him for dead practically and still ran home to make up lies about him


message 149: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments my libraries don't have the ebook or audiobook available but I saw they have the physical copy so I'll be heading over there today to try to borrow it :) if not, I'll be buying the book today! (A Fate Inked in Blood)


message 150: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Okay sounds good on the book I’ll buy mine too!

And I know I was kinda hoping Veronica was gonna slap her!!! She’s a cruel and evil woman to her very core! 😭💔 thank god though because stoker and Veronica are meant for each other
