Well... I liked the story and I was really touched at the end but I only gave it 3 stars because I thought it was kinda slow and too much lovey dovey crap.

The ending is HORRIBLE! If i had the book with me, I would throw it on the ground, stomp on it, spit on it, then set it on fire. I'm not joking, that's how much I hated it. But let us know what you think after you finish it...
I wasn't sure whether to read the Nightshade series or not, since I'm not really into werewolves. But from the looks of it, I shouldn't?
Nightshade was AMAZING, Wolfsbane was awesome in the beginning then meh, Bloodrose was just disappointing. But the series is worth reading.
I see. (:Anyway, I am reading Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and honestly it's kind of boring.
The plot is fine and I like the characters, but it's just dragging on and on.
I've only gone through half the book so maybe the ending will pay for all the boredom I had to endure, but so far it's not as much as I thought it would be. :(
I hate books like that, that bore you to death throughout three quarters of it, but then the ending is good.Because then you think, "well, but eventually I liked the book.." and you feel guilty for not giving it a higher rate. :/
Has anyone read 50 Shades of Grey? OMG...it is NOT YA, but I couldnt put it down. It's sort of edgy and more erotica than even romance and I was surprised how much I liked it because it's NOT even paranormal. but yikes, it's a good read and the 1st of a trilogy. Very well written too
What a coincidence. I just read the synopsis of that book :o I was trying to decide whether to give it a try or not..
It's extremely well written and I loved the plot line. It's pretty graphic and has elements of BDSM (Not hardcore on that though--it's part of the male MC's background). It was recommended to me and I was hesitant to read it but from page 1, I was hooked. If you like erotica but with a great story, you'll like this. If you do read it, let me know what you think.
Well then I guess I'll try it. It sounded good from the synopsis, anyway. Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know. (:

It's different than Shiver ... There are a lot more POV's which makes the book more interesting :)
I'm still in the first half of the book, but I like it so far :)

You never once thought to ask them if they were happy there or if they want to leave then they can? No! SO he is evil to me! And really impregnating a 13 year old? Why wouldn't he buy all girls at least 16.
You have a point, but I still can't hate Linden. Atleast he didn't treat them cruelly. If anything, he tried to make them as comfortable as they could be, in contrast to some of the other men the girls could've been sold to. As a character in a book, I have nothing against him. If this stuff was actually happening, I would definitely be opposed to it.
He thought the girls actually wanted to be a bride, so he didn't really buy them. And in that world a 13 year old being pregnant is normal. But still it's yicky! Poor Cecily even though she was annoying.
Yeah I felt bad for Cecily cause she didn't know any better. But she was also the only one that was semi happy and actually wanted to be married and taken care of. But I would have felt better if it was with another 13=16 year old. Linden was like 21. yucky. I just didn't really like the book. The whole thing grossed me out. I loved the show Big Love and all but it's just different when it is underage girls with no real choice.

How was Shiver? I read a lot of bad reviews on it, so I wasn't sure whether to try it or not. :/
