Length: 1 month (March)

Participants: Joy, Beth, D.L., Thieryn, Cordelia

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 }.

Here are some questions to help get the conversation started! Feel free to look up discussion questions specific to this book or come up with your own. Just make sure any questions that contain spoilers are under spoiler tags.
Discussion questions are not required but may be a fun way to talk about the book and get to know each other!

Prior to starting:
What prompted you to join this buddy read?
Have you read this author before? What do you think of their other books?

Mid-read:
What character or ideas do you relate to the most and why?
Do you have any favorite quotes or scenes?

After reading:
What was enjoyable or not-so-enjoyable about this book?
Did this book change your perception about anything, either within the book (character development) or in real life?

Hi, everybody. I am glad someone suggested this book. I've been trying to clear this book off my TBR for a long time so this seems like the perfect time to do it. I look forward to reading and discussing it :)

[Dominique]

Only read this one 8 years ago and never continue. Will join you guys with a reread.

[Shannon]

I will join you all. I love John Sandford. This will be a reread for the third time.

[D.L.]

This will be fun with lots of people reading and discussing :)

[Cordelia]

This series is new to me. It looks good. I will probably start in a few days,

I’m joining this group because I’ve been wanting to read the Prey series for years. I have my book and I’m excited to read it with everyone. I look forward to our discussion. Happy Reading.

[Cordelia]

I have just finished this. First of this series I have read. I liked it - an easy listen. Plot interesting. Characters rounded out. Gave it 4*.

That's all for now. Will return when others have finished.

Read the book years ago and now did the audio and it's still a 3 stars. I don't think I'll continue withe the series

(view spoiler)[ Didn't really like Lucas, The story was good but the love triangle and the way he treated them wasn't that great and reading about book 2, he's still repeating him having 2 women (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[D.L.]

I still need to read this. The month is going by too fast.

[Cordelia]

I've finished it and I liked it. Found it a nice easy read. Gave it 4*. I think I will continue for the time being.

I checked the spreadsheet... looks like she's already got us slotted in for moving ahead. Books 2, 3, and 4 are listed for April, May, and June, respectively.

Finished. I liked this story, the characters, and how the plot played out. Lucas is quite the player, no? 😅

I'm looking forward to the next one!
