I read a book way in advance sometimes ..."


I know right? That happens to me all the time! But you guys are making I hard to it to start RIGHT NOW with all the talk about secrets and scars!

Steph any hint for your rating?


Veronica Morfi (vmorfi) | 464 comments I write my reviews right after I finish the book. Except if I finish it at night, reading on bed, then I think about the review before I sleep, or while :), and write it when I wake up.

Did you guys read Cambria's last email, the heads up one. It really socked me!


Giselle (giselleco) | 27 comments Yes I read it! It really frustrates me that some bloggers have the nerve to do that!

Luckily I knew of her and found out in time to warn Cambria so thank god she didn't get Masquerade. That girl is bad news! She got kicked off GR she was selling all her books including ARCs I guess she collected a bunch of money then she was posting that her house got broken into and trashed and that she couldn't send out the books or refund people.


Veronica Morfi (vmorfi) | 464 comments You were the one who found out about her Heidi? Thank god!


Giselle (giselleco) | 27 comments Ooh I think I heard about her on Goodreads! Ugh. Hope she gets her blog shut down.

Becca (BeccaHandley) | 62 comments Just read the email....its such a shame. Every author and blogger I've meet thus far has been so generous and really hate to hear when someone takes advantage of that!!!!!!

Totally agree.

Gosh, Veronica, I just read it and what scares me is we've been communicating about trading books and such! I'll definitely ignore her email now!


Veronica Morfi (vmorfi) | 464 comments Is she here on GR too?


Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) (mlpmombookreviewer) | 191 comments I had no idea about her. It makes me sad to hear about scammers like her.
So glad you warned her Heidi and so glad you didn't make a trade with her Anagha! I am sure your end of the trade would never have came.

Veronica wrote: "Is she here on GR too?"

Not anymore. They deleted her account but I hear she sometimes make alternate accounts so beware...apparently, she always puts her blog link on any new accounts so you can still always indentify her

I know! I'm so thankful I found out in time (on Thanksgiving too! lol)


message 269: by [deleted user] (new)

Wow. That is so awful. Poor Cambria! (And the other authors she must have done that to). Good to know ahead of time...

I haven't been able to work on Masquerade, but hoping to get some read today. Thanksgiving and Black Friday really wore me out...sigh...

Hope you are all doing well!

Is it possible to die from too much food? If so, I am beyond dead Lol :P

Becca (BeccaHandley) | 62 comments My tummy exploded with the mass quantities of food consumed in last two days!!!!


Danielle Smiley (daniellesmiley) Wow! I've been "hiding out" from our discussion here until I finished Masquerade and just caught up ... I've missed you guys!

Masquerade was soooo good and I can't wait to read the next one. I loved the mysteries that kept you guessing all through. I thought I had figured Sam out at the dumpster scene and thought .."duh, those are classic symptoms I should have recognized"... and then I was wrong! LOL!!!

So are we holding off on posting reviews? I usually only post reviews on goodreads,do you recommend anywhere else?


Giselle (giselleco) | 27 comments I'm 45% through it now and have TONS or theories in my head. I have the "obvious" one but I think it won't be that. Especially after your comment Danielle. Which I'm glad I hope it surprises me!

Danielle Post on Amazon and Barnes and Noble that would really help out Cambria.
I am writing my review today...all I can say was when you think you have it figured out you don't. Big surprises!

Heidi (heidirainydayramblings) oh and of course there is more to the key charm bracelet...still want one.

Cereja Cult (lokigirl) | 199 comments Hi guys :D

Ok, I'm so far behind in this conversation that I'm not going to even pretend I know what you guys are talking about. I'm too lazy to read aaaaaaaaaall of the pots, sorry.
I'm just passing to say hello,, Hello!!!! and say that right now I want 3 things:

1 kiss the heck out of Sam, he is so cute :)
2 Kick Kim, she is so ,, well,, you know,,,
3 To drink a strawberry flavored bubble tea

XoXo


Veronica Morfi (vmorfi) | 464 comments I read the dumpster scene and about the key bracelet last night. I'm only 32% done. And I thought I realized what Sam is but after reading all these comments, I'm sure I'm wrong. And the whole bracelet thing is weird, that lady who sold it is really suspicious. But how wrong can I be about Sam, I mean he got her a dog whistle for goodness sake.

Ha ha. You will see...

I'm nearly finished with Masquerade now. I think I have about thirty pages left (maybe). There are a lot of plot twists in this story! But then again, I love those, so I'm really enjoying it. :)

Can't wait to see what you all do for the blog tour! It's going to be exciting. I'm working on my post right now...


message 287: by [deleted user] (new)

I just posted my review for Masquerade! You can read it here or on my blog: http://wordsoftheworlds.blogspot.com/...

I really loved it! It was a very good and interesting twist, but since we're not all done...I won't spoil anything!

Oh! Can whoever has the dates before and after the 5th for the Blog Tour PM me? I want to get the links to your blogs so I can direct everyone to them. :D


Cambria (cambria409) | 178 comments WOWZA!!! So sorry I have been MIA lately and what a great discussion I have been missing!!! Your gals are most fabulous!!! I was away for Thanksgiving but I am back!!!

Cambria (cambria409) | 178 comments great Giselle!! love to hear your favo characters! Kimber is something special isn't she? :)

Giselle (giselleco) | 27 comments Very daring/unexpected twists! Which is awesome!


Cambria (cambria409) | 178 comments ahhhh! LOL!!! thanks!


message 294: by Heidi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Heidi (heidirainydayramblings) I finished it putting the polishing touches on the review. Fav character I would like to agree on Kimber but after the end I am not sure about her. I love Sam and Heven but Grandma really got to me too.


Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) (mlpmombookreviewer) | 191 comments I think Sam is my favorite. I love that he is good but thinks he is bad and has the potential to be become bad, really bad but fights it, not just for Heven but for himself too.


message 296: by Heidi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Heidi (heidirainydayramblings) Danielle yeh congrats on starting a blog if you need help the lovely ladies in our group will help.
Becca hope you are feeling better
Cambria glad you are back!
Lila sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to your emails
everyone else still will be in and out this week.


Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) (mlpmombookreviewer) | 191 comments Congrats on starting your blog Danielle! They are a lot of fun to have. I am sure you will get the hang of it really soon and if not, like Heidi mentioned, we are always here to help answer questions. :)

Hope you are feeling better too Becca!

I can't wait to start seeing what everyone does on their blog.

Make sure and post links here so we can all see too! :)


message 298: by [deleted user] (new)

I really think I like Sam the best, though all of the characters have a good personality and are very fun and different. Sam is just...mysterious, in a way, and very sweet. :)


Danielle Smiley (daniellesmiley) Thanks guys! Hopefully I'll get some things on there soon so that there's something to follow... lol! I did have questions on buttons. How do you "grab" them and how do you place them on your blog?

As far as favorite characters....hmmm... I love Heven. She's so strong, even when she thinks she's not, and I love her growth as a character throughout the book. She also is compassionate toward her mom even though her mom's being so awful. I also really love Grandma; I think she knows more than what she's letting on.

There is coding under the blog buttons, you have to copy that and then paste it into your blog. You can do that my adding a gadget to your blog that uses HTML code. :)
