Darcy wrote: "Heather that is one series that I haven't read. lol I think I am one of the last people on earth not to have read them. Someday I will get to them. :)

I do think the quotes are good ones!"

Don't worry Darcy, I haven't read them either. Bought my first on at my Local Thrift Store. Sadly it was book #13. I hate reading out of order.

[Darcy]

I don't blame you Shera, I can't read out of order either.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Darcy wrote: "I don't blame you Shera, I can't read out of order either."

Everybody tells me that they work stand alone. But something is always ruined if you read out of order. +_+ So glad I'm not the only one who can't stand out of order reads.

[Heather]

I can't either. Here's the thing with them... If Acheron is in them at all, you'll spoil the other ones. he's a recurring character that you slowly learn more and more about. By 13/14 you know a lot about him, making him less mysterious in the early ones if you were to go back. Some are very standaloneish, but most have a running theme, or characters from other books that could give something away.

I didn't know that one was out yet. I really liked the first one.

A lot of this book, I spent confused, lol. But it all came together at the end so I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Yeah it was a bit confusing at first. Even after finishing it I still had a huge question mark hovering over my head. The reread made everything click. I didn't have any trouble with the next books.

[Vivian]

Yay! I was hoping the next ones would be less confusing.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Vivian wrote: "Yay! I was hoping the next ones would be less confusing."

They follow much smoother. Once you get past book 1 you're armed and ready to use your brian cells!

Woohoo, I'll put the thinking cap on and I'm ready to go!

[Heather]

"Kill that baby!"

[Angela]

that is a bit strange...baby killing?

It's a god thing. I'm loving this book so far.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Heather wrote: "It's a god thing. I'm loving this book so far."

I'm trying to find away to read the first book with out buying it. Do you have to read Fantasy Lover first to make the series click better?

[Heather]

Well, his character and those in the book come into play a lot so it would make life easier if you did. It's completely different than the other one's, but Julian keeps showing back up and I'm starting to think it would just be better to read it first. does your library have it?

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Heather wrote: "Well, it kind his character and those in the book come into play a lot so it would make life easier if you did. It's completely different than the other one's, but Julian keeps showing back up and ..."

Thanks. I'm starting to think it might just be easier to cave and buy it.

Honestly, I didn't think highschool was that bad. I enjoyed much it better then the middle school.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

I was the nice quite one in class. But once that bell rang look out!

[Heather]

I liked high school, but I hated a lot of the people. If I could have just gone by myself or with a select few it'd have been great. blah... i just remembered 5:45 morning practices in the pool. I hated getting up that early to jump in a cold pool.

[Jasmine]

I wish my school had a pool team!

[Heather]

"IN THE pool" Swim and Water Polo

Sorry, maybe you meant it that way. It sounds like you mean shooting pool with cues.

[Jasmine]

I mean pool, as in swimming, not billiards, LOL.

[Heather]

Just making sure since I hadn't ever heard someone call it a "pool team".

[Jasmine]

Ahah, oh it's called a swim team right? My bad. :)

[Heather]

Ya. No problem. That's just why I was asking to clarify. I swam because it's the only way I could play polo. Swim interfered with softball so I had some long days in during spring season.

[Samantha]

Love this series.


"I thought there would be camels," I protested.

[Samantha]

Or even better from the first in the series...technically two sentences, but oh well...


"To say that I met Nicholas Brisbane over my husband's dead body is not entirely accurate. Edward, it should be noted, was still twitching upon the floor."

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Wow! That is epic.

[Jasmine]

"I don't remember any of the true, important parts, but there's this dream I have."

The first line doesn't really give much away...

[Jasmine]

"There were three things Wraith did well: hunt, fight, and f**k."

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

That somes him up perfectly. ^_-
