Bloodrose (Nightshade, #3)

[Lisarenee]

This topic is open for discussion of Bloodrose. Be prepared for SPOILERS.

[Lisarenee]

Supposedly the cover has been created but is still a mystery even to Andrea herself.

[Wilda]

After reading Wolfsbane, I am DYING for Bloodrose!!!!

[Lisarenee]

I'm going to keep watching Cremer's website. She stated she'll give out more ARCs at some point in the future. I wonder if Bloodrose will have any ARCs? I am so jealous that you got an ARC of Wolfsbane. I'm glad you think it was better than Nightshade.

[Wilda]

Keep an eye on her twitter and facebook accounts as well and I'm sure they'll be a few Bloodrose ARCs. It feels like an eternity until it'll come out *sigh*

[Lisarenee]

It's hard to be patient when you know the books already been written and is just waiting release. I love the history elements Cremer put into this series(I keep hoping it won't just be a trilogy) and can't wait to see if she throws in some more.

[kayla**]

I heard there is a novella coming out in Fall 2012... should be good...
I hope she makes a few novellas for the series=)

[Lisarenee]

Did you hear her next series or at least book will be a steampunk. I just started getting into that subgenre and look forward to seeing what she comes up with. The gadgets in those books are awesome.

[kayla**]

Yes, I found that I actually do like steampunk, and I'm definitely looking forward to The Inventor's Secret! =)

[Wilda]

Bloodrose has a US release date!

February 21, 2012 only 10 months away :)

[Lisarenee]

Still seems too long, but we still have Wolfsbane to be released.

[Wilda]

It is but I've already read Wolfsbane so I'm just excited that its less than a year lol

[Lisarenee]

It's always hard to wait for the next release of a good series. I did notice now it's being referred to as a series as opposed to a trilogy on Cremer's website. *crosses fingers for a series*

[Wilda]

It'd be awesome if we could get an extra book or more-other than the companion novel.

[Lisarenee]

Since you read the second book you probably have a better idea if a series is a possibility. Of course an author can always change or add things in order to stretch a book into a series. They just might need to get a little creative.

[kayla**]

I'm glad that the release date for Bloodrose is so early! I was expecting a late spring release date- like May... =)

[Lisarenee]

This is one of the fastest releases I've ever seen for a trilogy.

[Claudia]

I'm loving this turn around on the sequel. I hate waiting a year or so for the next one. This is how is should be for all sequels

[Lisarenee]

I agree. I don't know why publishers sometimes hold off on releasing books. If a series is really good you're gonna want the next one as soon as possible.

[Sophie]

i know i hate when authors hold off on the release

[Lisarenee]

I just updated the cover. What do you think?

[kayla**]

I'm still not feeling these new covers.. they're just disappointing to me after having already seen the originals...

[Lisarenee]

I wish it had more color in it.

[Sophie]

i luv the old covers cuz the girl looks so natual but magical

found this online, click CHECK THIS OUT and you can read the first chapter of bloodrose and thought I would share...and yeah I'm definitely team Ren!

[Lisarenee]

I can't get it to show the chapter. I wonder if it's just that busy or something is wrong with the link?

[Erin]

no i just clicked and it worked a minute ago...i thought it didn't show up the first time either, you have to scroll about half way down - that were the first chapter starts

[Isabella]

w00t! Thanks for the link...it was awesome!!! I love Ren and I'm so glad he's coming back in full force in Bloodrose. I missed him the whole time during Wolfsbane while I gagged on all the parts with Calla and Shay getting it on. Ugh! Team Ren!!!

[Veronica]

I feel like "Nightshade" was Calla's book, "Wolfsbane" was Shay's book and "Bloodrose" will be Ren's book. I can't wait! :D

I LOVE that idea...
REN<3
About to read the first chapter now.. so excited:)

[kayla**]

God, I love Ren:)
that first chapter was perfect... (view spoiler)[and it was all him and Calla... except for her guilty thoughts about Shay (hide spoiler)]
Cannot wait for Bloodrose... I hope Calla chooses Ren. She better... he's so broken.
Now I remember why I hated Shay so much in Nightshade... Ren is so much better. In Wolfsbane, Ren was barely there so I couldn't properly compare the two...
oh, Ren:)

[Lisarenee]

So I don't know about anyone else, but that first chapter makes waiting for blood rose that much more difficult.

[kayla**]

Yes, yes it does!
It just makes me more nervous and excited...

[Sylvia]

OMG I cannot wait for Bloodrose after I just read that first chapter....Ren is so damned sexy I hope she wises up and soon realise that she loves Ren and not Shay but something confused me alittle...wouldn't Ren have smelt Shay on Calla...like the girls did??

[kayla**]

Maybe more time had passed, and she was able to rid herself of it somewhat? I don't know.. I was wondering the same thing, actually...

[Sylvia]

I guess we just have to wait and see....

[Lisarenee]

Heinzypop, I wondered the same thing. Maybe he didn't care? What if he just wants her to hurt Shay? So many possibilities.

Oh my ... I was thinking that too ... maybe he has caught on that Shay is actually in on it ... from the beginning Ren didn't like him for obvious reasons of course but there could be something more ... oh so many possibilities with this book ... I love trying to figure things out ... all I know is that I feel Shay is suspect and knew about everything from the beginning and Ren is on to him!!!!

[kayla**]

EXCITING NEWS:)
Bloodrose's release date has been moved up to January 24th, 2012!!!

[Lisarenee]

Awesome news! Thanks Kayla.

[Jenna]

hey guys, just would like to share that there will be 2 prequels to Nightshade series! (well, I just learned of this,hehe). and I didn’t know Bloodrose will be the last book! I’m so sad...
here’s the link: http://twilidiot.visibli.com/share/LC...

[Alison]

Bloodrose is now coming out January 3rd! http://twitter.com/#!/andreacremer/st...

[kayla**]

Yeah, I just heard that too! Even more exciting... especially with all the new books Andrea Cremer has planned for 2012 & 2013...
:)

[kayla**]

here's a list of her upcoming books...

January 2012 BLOODROSE
Fall 2012 RIFT (Nightshade Prequel 1)
Spring 2013 INVISIBILITY CURSE w/David Levithan
Summer 2013 RISE (Nightshade Prequel 2)
Fall 2013 INVENTOR'S SECRET

all of them are officially on their way:) I would update these on the goodreads site, but I've been very busy lately... hopefully someone will take care of it soon! :)

[Veronica]

What would the prequels even be about?

I read Shay's novella and it made me hate him more so I hope one of the prequels is in Ren's POV!

Also, is Bloodrose the last book? For some reason I'm thinking that there was going to be 5...

[kayla**]

Bloodrose is the end to Calla's story, I'm fairly sure...
and I heard somewhere that the first Nightshade prequel (Rift) is set back in the late 1800's in Scotland about the Witches War... it may have changed though...
just relaying what I've heard:)

[Veronica]

That sounds amazing! :D

[Jenna]

oh gosh. i’m uber excited now! :D

[Jenna]

anyone got any news on bloodrose? hehe.

[Emy]

i think the book comes out next year :)
