Early TGDA Book Discussion *SPOILER ALERT*
agreed.I wonder what has happened to Pierce?I'm also curious as to why Trent still needs Rachel? He already got his sample

No Chantal...Trent is definitely not just a bad boy is an Elf. He is the product of the Everafter, an Elven War...
I know you've read the new one Mel.Going to give us any hints???? (hey, I can always try)hehe.I'm sick of the love interests as well but it's funny to me that we all read the same book and everyone has a different thought who Rachel should be.Myself, I want her with the naughty elf. I'm stick of the Ivy/Pierce thing.
Mod
I agree...just pick one already and let's stick with it but I would rather it not be Ivy. My favorite was Kisten and I still miss him...loved the scene in the club when Rachel got sugared.
I used to be very anti-Trent, but have to say that I've softened toward him a lot through the series.
Annii...try the D'Artigo sisters by Yasmine Galenorn. They are half-elf half human and their magic futzis up...alot. One is a witch, one a shape shifter and one is a vampire....I just got Shaded Vision #11 in the series.
Billy Idol! Thank you, that would have driven me crazy :)I try and avoid Kim Harrison's site as she posts so much before the release date so I haven't peeked at any of the chapters being released...yet!!!

Nope :) There's a few spoiler avoiders left ;)
Traci and Cher - I refuse to spoil the next one for you. I know it driving you bonkers, Cher...I felt the same way and that is why I bought the ARC. I couldn't take it anymore...LOL:)

I consider the ARC's to be like a gift from the author or publisher to you not to the whole world it makes the copy that you have special I just wish mine were from authors I would reread lol

Ines, yes you are right, it's the European edition. Nawnee I said newsletter but it's just an update Goodreads sends out.
I'm in the UK so I have the head-shot cover but tbh I prefer the US one - typical *rolls eyes* ;)

Chantal wrote: "I'm in the UK so I have the head-shot cover but tbh I prefer the US one - typical *rolls eyes* ;)"
Ok, so the US adds a splash of color and mystery, but the EU edition gives us a lovely head shot. I like both of them, my fave is the US cover, but I thought it great that they gave us a glimpse of Charley's face.
I like both but I'm partial to the us cover. funny story her first book cover almost made me not buy the book. I didn't like it, and after reading the book I'm still not a huge fan of the first books cover. I kept expecting those shoes to have a part in the book to make the cover make better sense. I can't say why the first books cover bothered me so much but when I lent the book out to a couple of friends they almost didn't take it because of the cover. I'm so glad I over looked that and bought the book based on the book description. This is one of the best series I've read in a long time.
Also the Charley on the cover doesn't match the Charley in my head.I agree with you on the first book cover too.
It's nice to know I'm not alone lol I felt like a traitor lol after liking her books so much. I'm just glad the description was written so well, or I would have missed out on a great series. Did you expect the shoes to be in the story too?? I was the first thing my sister asked me before borrowing the book. Are those shoes in the story?? otherwise this cover is a little weird and off putting. :) by that time I had read the book so I just told her to ignore the cover the book is well worth the read.:)
I read it because so many book buddies went on and on about Reyes! I looked at the shoes (didn't see the little death's heads as the pic was so small) and thought it looked a bit like a holiday romance type book. Glad I listened to my buds :)
I think it was all the white that got me the white pants and then the shoes I thought and this is the grim reaper wearing white pants come on no one should wear white pants lmao
Dana...I always buy the actual book from the publisher. I have only purchased two ARCs. I know that does not make it right. They are something I treasure and will never give up. I also purchased the e-book and paperback copy of both books... It is my favorite series.
Mod
Hey Mel, I'm so glad that you chimed in! I just wanted to explain the handling of ARCs.

My favorite covers have the hot male bods but do not show the face clearly. This way I can picture the hero's face exactly as I imagine him in my fantasies and not as the cover artist sees him. I am not as concerned about the heroines. A hormonal change is possible...don't women crave it more as men begin to deteriorate? There is just something wrong about our biologies not sinking... Or are all great romance books I have been reading causing fluctuations? LOL:p

Nawnee...I would not mind the series going on if she would just determine once and for all who Rachel will be paired with. The back and forth on the romantic prospects is what drives me absolutely wonkie. I love Darynda for not doing that to us...she is a saint in my book! ;)
