You're very welcome :)
@ Susan#34 – Afraid of flying, Susan?
#35 – Bad boys? Really? I wouldn’t have figured that. Especially as you are a teacher… but opposites attract.
#36 – Ditto!
#37 – I’m loving it too. Pretty creative of Cole, even if she did borrow the idea.
#39. I thought it was a bit too harsh. We’ll see were they go from there.
@ Lisa Kay#34 - not necessarily afraid of flying, I typically have my children on the plane with me so that kind of prohibits doing that ROFLOL
# 35 - oh yes! Bad boys! I was the preppy yearbook editor who became a teacher who loves bad boys! Opposites do attract ;)
Well, yes, Susan. Your kids would slow things down, wouldn't they?
Ack, I'm so far behind! And you guys doubling up the questions is not helping. ;-)22. So Regin met Sebastian. Not exactly under the best circumstances, was it? And it wasn't until he left that Kaderin attempted to explain anything about him to Regin. Why do you think she's trying to ignore what they have? Is she really against him being a vamp or is it something else?
She seems to also have some fears of repercussions from the coven. She wonders what they'd do if they found out about them. I think it's interesting that she's subconsciously thinking about them as a them.
23. What'd you think of the reunion between Nikolai and Sebastian? Will they ever get along again?
Call me a terrible person, but I loved Nikolai freaking out and thinking Myst had blooded Sebastian... :-)
I think eventually Sebastian will come to terms with it and forgive Nikolai.
24. What a way to be woken up! Comments?
Oh... my. I have a shelf just for scenes like that. [blush]
25. Personally, I thought the sword fight was hot...what an active type of foreplay ;) And then, he bit her. Do you think Kaderin might have been having a change of heart about him before his teeth grazed her neck?
She certainly seemed to be melting nicely -- much too early in the story, something had to happen!
26. Now that Bastian (I love that she calls him that LOL) has Kaderin's memories, do you think he'll fall in love with her since he may come to understand her more?
Good question. Her coldness could definitely make her hard to love. It might well help.
@ willaful#23 – I guess I’m a terrible person too. I had a big grin on my face.
#34 – You do! **Lisa Kay scurries off to check Willa’s bookshelves before reading any more of her answers.**
Lisa Kay’s Questions for Chapter 30 – 34 41. We learn a bit more about Sebastian’s
42. Man-oh-man! The Lykae, Bowen, is one determined dude. Kinda broke my heart, seeing him suffering like that and calling for his mate. You? Sure, he’ll regenerate. Well, except there is that curse Mariketa put on him. (Now see, CaroB has been a bad influence on me… making me think of the next book. That’s what I get for hanging around her, LOL!)
43. KC has said that she's going to write a book about a nymph with an “unusual problem.” I hope it is the siren, Lucindeya (Cindey), though we hear no more about her in the next ten books (I haven’t read #11). I sure would like to know why she was muttering about a baby. Does her character interest you at all? Who would you match her up with?
44. What can I say about Chapter 32? These two keep turning the tables on one another. Does that work for you?
45. Uh oh! For those of you who like Bowen, are you still feeling the love after what he did to Sebastian at the end of Chapter 33?
46. Why isn’t Kaderin a little more worried about where Sebastian is? I thought her feelings were back.

Well, except there is that curse Mariketa put on him. (Now see, CaroB has been a bad influence on me… making me think of the next book. That’s what I get for hanging around her, LOL!) Bowen did kinda break my heart. And I'm also thinking of the next book...it's moved up on my TBR list LOL
43. KC has said that she's going to write a book about a nymph with an “unusual problem.” I hope it is the siren, Lucindeya (Cindey), though we hear no more about her in the next ten books (I haven’t read #11). I sure would like to know why she was muttering about a baby. Does her character interest you at all? Who would you match her up with? Yes, she's interesting. Since we don't hear anything about her for the next 10 books, does that mean she's still stuck in the snow? LOL I think she needs to be paired with another Wroth brother...could you imagine the family get togethers where she has to be in the same room as the guy who trapped her in the snow and the woman who was/is her main competitor for the Hie? Can we say strained? ;)
44. What can I say about Chapter 32? These two keep turning the tables on one another. Does that work for you? Yep, it heats me right up ;)
45. Uh oh! For those of you who like Bowen, are you still feeling the love after what he did to Sebastian at the end of Chapter 33? I get the why of what he did and that makes it easier to understand, but it was on the vicious side.
46. Why isn’t Kaderin a little more worried about where Sebastian is? I thought her feelings were back. that baffled me...she hasn't been at all concerned about why he hasn't shown up for 2 nights? Did she think he wouldn't come to her after the night they shared and she left blood for him? BTW, I thought that was super sweet that she went and got blood to leave for him.
@ Susan re:post 9228. Good point, which is why it's making Bowen even more appealing to me!
31. Thank goodness I wasn't the only one! thought after reading Lisa Kay's answer above I clicked on the link to the next book and had an 'Aaaah!' moment.
32. I had to keep reading and also finished. Muuuaaaaahhahahaha back atcha!
36. What a great theory! I wonder if we'll have this happen again in subsequent books in the series, now that Sebastian broke the mold, so to speak.
37. Yes! I remember thinking that too, Susan. Wrapped up a little too nicely.
Lisa Kay’s Questions for Chapter 25 – 29 34. Maybe I’m sharing too much, but I always wanted to become a member of “The Mile High Club.” You too? Or are you already a member? Does the possibility of a club initiation with a handsome vampire make it even more appealing? I'm not a member, and its always intrigued me, but I'm so practical, lol, that I don't think the reality would live up to my expectations... I'd be so disappointed if it just ended up feeling.. squished!
35. Another fantasy. I always wanted to have a debate about quantum physics and the reincarnation of the soul. Especially while a handsome nerd was ogling me while I dressed. Are you partial to nerds? Can you hold your own with them – or are you one too? Did you know talking science could be an aphrodisiac? I definitely can't hold my own with anything scientific but I AM partial to intelligent, well-read, pasionate men who like to theorise... LOL, though I haven't met any in RL. My husband is an I.T. geek.. *sigh* it's just not the same, lol!
36. Uh oh! Sebastian used the “M” word. Too soon, right? OMG yes!
37. How are you liking the Talisman's Hie? Do you watch The Amazing Race? Do you like scavenger hunts? Why does Sebastian keep forgetting that its hostess, Riora, is the Goddess of Impossibility? I haven't seen it in ages but I used to love the Amazing Race. All the different tasks are giving the book a great pace. lol, I keep forgetting about Riora as well.
38. Were you surprised by Kaderin’s former nickname? I wonder if Myst will let that slip to Sebastian. yep, surprised.
39. Whoa! That phone booth scene went from H.O.T. to H.A.R.S.H. Comments. Which of the two of them was the cruelest with their words? I didn't think he was cruel. I thought he needed to reassert himself in a big way, or he'd lose her respect in the long run.
40. Which surprised you more about Gamboa? (view spoiler) I wasn't expecting Regin to get dobbed in for this one.
@ willaful re:post 10622. Good point, I hadn't caught that! She's already paring herself with him in her mind.
23. Yep, if you're terrible then so am I. It was funny!
24. Really? Do tell...
Lisa Kay’s Questions for Chapter 30 – 34 41. We learn a bit more about Sebastian’s “romantic” sexual history. That widow was a b!tch. All for a wager? No wonder his is gun shy of women. Now he has a “plan” for a new bargain with Kaderin? Think it will work? I think he’s quickly learnt that he can’t treat Kaderin as he’s used to treating other women, so sad he’s been made to feel he’s a brute!
42. Man-oh-man! The Lykae, Bowen, is one determined dude. Kinda broke my heart, seeing him suffering like that and calling for his mate. You? Sure, he’ll regenerate. Well, except there is that curse Mariketa put on him. (Now see, CaroB has been a bad influence on me… making me think of the next book. That’s what I get for hanging around her, LOL!) LOL! I hadn’t even realised about the next book until you posted the link! That’s ok, you can blame me. I have to say, this bok has been a perfect set-up for Bowen! I cannot wait to read his book!
43. KC has said that she's going to write a book about a nymph with an “unusual problem.” I hope it is the siren, Lucindeya (Cindey), though we hear no more about her in the next ten books (I haven’t read #11). I sure would like to know why she was muttering about a baby. Does her character interest you at all? Who would you match her up with? I thought Cindey was a siren? At this moment, I’d need to get more back-story for her before I wanted to set her up with any of my IAD boys.
44. What can I say about Chapter 32? These two keep turning the tables on one another. Does that work for you? Not usually, but I think these characters make it work really well here.
45. Uh oh! For those of you who like Bowen, are you still feeling the love after what he did to Sebastian at the end of Chapter 33? Still feeling the love. Also feeling the pity for Sebastian, but I wouldn’t do anything hasty like kicking Bowen out of bed for it.
46. Why isn’t Kaderin a little more worried about where Sebastian is? I thought her feelings were back. I got the impression she’s just being proud and preoccupied.
@ Susan re:post 11042. sounds like we need to have a buddy read for IAD #4!
43. LOL!! Love it!
46. Ditto on the blood buy :-)
phew! I'm caught up!
LOVE your shelves, Willa! LOL!
@ Susan#43 – (view spoiler)
#45 – Really. Talk about a man obsessed.
#46 – Loved that she got blood for him, too. ☺
@ Susan & CaroB#37 – Yes, but Regin glows !
@ CaroB#34 – Ah, well, see… I don’t just have a Virgo Sun, I have that Scorpio Moon to contend with. **Lisa Kay snickers over the word “squished.”** LOL!
#35 – LOL!
#39 – I thought they both said cruel things.
#42 – What? Your shoulders are broad? Sounds good. When can you fit Bowen in?
#45 – LMAO! Really! Don’t do anything hasty.
#46 – Oh, I like that, “Proud & Preoccupied.” I’ve been there.
CaroB wrote: "phew! I'm caught up!"LMAO! You are! (For now.)
You ladies are pretty funny. A little bit naughty, but not enough to get kicked off Santa's Good Girl list before Christmas.
Phew! Now that's a relief, RLFTCI Online Elf!

Lisa Kay’s Questions for Chapters 35 – 39 47. Whoa! Sharks. I used to snuba dive (kind of like scuba – with a raft on the surface feeding you air via a hose) and let me tell you, there is nothing like seeing a shark in the water with you to make your heart race. Do any of you scuba/snuba/snorkel? Any experiences with sharks? And Kaderin bit back, LOL. Did you think the dialogue between her and Sebastian was funny? Comments.
48. Ah! A little honesty between Katja & Bastian at last. Glad he cleared up why he didn’t phone and she the reason for her lack of underwear. LOL! Can a reference to a 19 year old movie, Basic Instinct, stand the test of time for this book? Is that a risky move by the author?
49. Considering Nїx’s prediction, do you blame Sebastian for chaining Kaderin to the bed?
50. Did you figure out what Kaderin had planned when she was out on that cable above the Fyre Serpénte? She is sure putting her trust in him to win the Hie.
51. Were you surprised that the Valkyries in New Orleans felt (view spoiler)
52. Geez. I’m starting every question with “How surprised…” Okay, how’s this: On a scale of 1-10, how surprised were you that Sebastian and (view spoiler)
53. What are your thoughts on Riora’s reveal about Kaderin’s blessing?
54. How the hell is Bowen going to get out of his predicament?

Do any of you scuba/snuba/snorkel? Any experiences with sharks? And Kaderin bit back, LOL. Did you think the dialogue between her and Sebastian was funny? Comments. I've never done any of those things before. In my opinion, Lisa Kay, you are one brave woman to do that. I'm chicken LOL I did like the dialogue :) It was funny that she bit the shark and was like "he bit me first"
48. Ah! A little honesty between Katja & Bastian at last. Glad he cleared up why he didn’t phone and she the reason for her lack of underwear. LOL! Can a reference to a 19 year old movie, Basic Instinct, stand the test of time for this book? Is that a risky move by the author? I think the reference stands the test of time. That is a classic scene, almost iconic like Marilyn Monroe with her dress flying.
49. Considering Nїx’s prediction, do you blame Sebastian for chaining Kaderin to the bed? not one bit. Too bad it didn't work ;)
50. Did you figure out what Kaderin had planned when she was out on that cable above the Fyre Serpénte? She is sure putting her trust in him to win the Hie. I didn't have a clue what she had planned.
51. Were you surprised that the Valkyries in New Orleans felt (view spoiler) I was surprised that they felt it. And let me just say that I cried at this part. Big plump tears rolling down my face.
52. Geez. I’m starting every question with “How surprised…” Okay, how’s this: On a scale of 1-10, how surprised were you that Sebastian and (view spoiler) that would have been a 10
53. What are your thoughts on Riora’s reveal about Kaderin’s blessing? I thought it strange that it was all Riora all along. Is there a connection that I missed or was it not stated?
54. How the hell is Bowen going to get out of his predicament? Maybe his witch will come save him? I guess we'll have to read the next book to find out, won't we? ROFLOL
@ Susan#48 – Oh, great film reference, Susan!
#49 – ^_~
#50 – I was a little slow on the update. I figured it out when she was on the cable and felt I should have thought of it b/f then.
#51 – (view spoiler)
#52 – Me too!
#53 – No connection that I know of. Someone correct me, if I’m wrong!
#54 – Definitely! ☺

Do any of you scuba/snuba/snorkel? Any experiences with sharks? And Kaderin bit back, LOL. Did you think the dialogue between her and Sebastian was funny? Comments. Yep, I've scuba'd quite a bit. Anything to do with the water tends to be the way of life here in Australia and there's so many beautiful beaches, bays and coves to explore. I've seen a few sharks, but mostly baby ones and even though you know they can be dangerous, they're still kinda cute in their size. um... I wouldn't try biting one though, that cracked me up!
48. Ah! A little honesty between Katja & Bastian at last. Glad he cleared up why he didn’t phone and she the reason for her lack of underwear. LOL! Can a reference to a 19 year old movie, Basic Instinct, stand the test of time for this book? Is that a risky move by the author? 19 years!!! How can that be? Surely it was only a few years ago...now I feel old, lol, I hadn't even thought about that, but surely it's become a classic for the lef-cross move alone.
49. Considering Nїx’s prediction, do you blame Sebastian for chaining Kaderin to the bed? Blame? no. Think he's on the doofus side of sexy when it comes to women? Definitely!
50. Did you figure out what Kaderin had planned when she was out on that cable above the Fyre Serpénte? She is sure putting her trust in him to win the Hie. That floored me, she's such a fighter, this seemed out of character for her to have let go.
51. Were you surprised that the Valkyries in New Orleans felt (view spoiler) I didn't really think about it too much, though now that I do, isn't Freya (the lost leader) drowning and reviving constantly? So does that mean they can constantly feel her die?
52. Geez. I’m starting every question with “How surprised…” Okay, how’s this: On a scale of 1-10, how surprised were you that Sebastian and (view spoiler) 8
53. What are your thoughts on Riora’s reveal about Kaderin’s blessing? I wish they'd better explained why she interfered like that. It all seemed a bit too pat and nicely wrapped up for the end of the book to me.
54. How the hell is Bowen going to get out of his predicament? I don't know, but I want to read his story. now. ok, not now. but soon.
@ CaroB#47 – Well, the shark I turned around a saw (after my husband gave me the hand signal for “shark”) was a big as I am. I freaked a bit, as they have a few more rows of teeth than I do!
#48 – Yup. Came out in 1992. What were you doing in '92?
#50 – I think Nїx’s prediction
#51 – Great point!
#53 – Need a bow?
#54 – LOL! We’ll wait for you. ☺
@ Lisa:#47- the biggest I've seen was as big/long as my leg. I would freak out too if I saw one as big as me!
#48 - coughspluttercoughIwasinhighschoolcoughcough
#50 - You have me further intrigued!
#53- smartypants! :-p A ribbon would do nicely, ta!
#54 - THANKYOU!

CaroB said, "Think he's on the doofus side of sexy when it comes to women? Definitely!" HAHAHAHAHA
And gosh, in 1992 I was having my 2nd child...of course I was only 21, but that does make me feel old LOL
I'll do the last set of questions. Give me a few minutes to post them :)
Susan's Questions for chapters 40-4255. So, Sebastian and Kaderin go back in time to save her sisters. Did it surprise you that Sebastian was killing vampires while Kaderin was gathering her sisters to time travel? And did you expect the sisters to freak when the realized he was a vamp?
56. Were like Sebastian, knowing that Kaderin would take her sisters and leave? Do you think that was the wisest thing to do?
57. My heart broke for Sebastian when he asked Myst if she's asked about him and she said no. Comments?
58. She ran into his arms. I got all swoony at that point and read the rest of the book with a grin on my face :) Were you guessing that Rika and Dasha would invite him over and give them their blessing?
59. Hmm, Riora gave them the key to use again. Are they really going to go and get Sebastian's family? How do you think they'll react? Or do you think they'll use the key for something else...like helping Bowen? Or something else entirely?
Lisa Kay's Answers to Susan's Questions for Chapters 40-42 55. So, Sebastian and Kaderin go back in time to save her sisters. Did it surprise you that Sebastian was killing vampires while Kaderin was gathering her sisters to time travel? And did you expect the sisters to freak when the realized he was a vamp?
Nope. Yup.
56. Were like Sebastian, knowing that Kaderin would take her sisters and leave? Do you think that was the wisest thing to do?
Don’t understand what you were asking in the first half of the question… Second: Yes, they needed time.
57. My heart broke for Sebastian when he asked Myst if she's asked about him and she said no. Comments?
Yeah. That was a little rough. Wondered if Kaderin the Cold Hearted was coming back. She knew he was watching her… Maybe she was afraid she breakdown and cry if she spoke of him, or she didn’t want her sisters to overhear. Who knows!
58. She ran into his arms. I got all swoony at that point and read the rest of the book with a grin on my face :) Were you guessing that Rika and Dasha would invite him over and give them their blessing?
Yes! That part was neat. I think when I read the book the first time, I did suspect them… but maybe I’m just wishful thinking.
59. Hmm, Riora gave them the key to use again. Are they really going to go and get Sebastian's family? How do you think they'll react? Or do you think they'll use the key for something else...like helping Bowen? Or something else entirely?
We’ll see. That was very generous of her.

Let me translate question 56- did you figure Kaderin would take her sisters and leave or were you surprised? :) it was early when I was typing that lol
I figured she would take them, Susan. (LOL! Totally understand the typing... sometimes I just shake my head at what I post.)
Susan's Questions for chapters 40-4255. So, Sebastian and Kaderin go back in time to save her sisters. Did it surprise you that Sebastian was killing vampires while Kaderin was gathering her sisters to time travel? And did you expect the sisters to freak when the realized he was a vamp? The sisters freaking was expected. Sebastian in battle mode was a pleasant surprise.
56. Were like Sebastian, knowing that Kaderin would take her sisters and leave? Do you think that was the wisest thing to do? I knew she’d come back with her sisters, I knew her sisters would join the New Orleans coven, but I didn’t think Kaderin would leave him. I can see how ti was necessary, but I didn’t get the complete lack of contact. Even immortals must be able to have mobile phone coverage!
57. My heart broke for Sebastian when he asked Myst if she's asked about him and she said no. Comments? I was kinda disappointed in Kaderin. Felt a little like her “old” cold-hearted ways.
58. She ran into his arms. I got all swoony at that point and read the rest of the book with a grin on my face :) Were you guessing that Rika and Dasha would invite him over and give them their blessing? I liked that she ran to him, but it all felt a little convenient. No contact at all and now the sisters are suddenly ok to give their blessing? W.t.h?
59. Hmm, Riora gave them the key to use again. Are they really going to go and get Sebastian's family? How do you think they'll react? Or do you think they'll use the key for something else...like helping Bowen? Or something else entirely? Again, this felt just a little too nicely wrapped up for me, and sooo unfair to poor Bowen. I hope they do give it to him!
@ CaroB#55 - (view spoiler)
#56 - Really! And after she was so unhappy when he didn't call.
#57 - Mind Meld!
Did you guys notice our star ratings are now on the same line as our names/date time. I'm guessing that is b/c this thread is linked to the book. Right?
I did notice that, lisa Kay. I guess that is why. I've noticed it on seeral different threads
