Trisha | 30284 comments me too! LOL! but I've had Girl Scout cookie booth sales all day :)
finally have time to read! yay!

YES! I totally agree with your spoiler (view spoiler) lol

but I'm so glad to get an update from that part of the story! I think this one is going to be good!


message 10: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments lol I was like "who the heck were these people???"

I haven't read more yet. Too distracted by other books XD I'll be back to update once I finish part one.


message 11: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments oh and lol
I didn't remember who Chris was (did you??) so I looked at our old thread

NOW I remember :D


message 12: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments okay, I'm done with Part I and Part II

OMG (view spoiler)

this one really starts off with a bang

AND once I remembered Chris, I think I remembered just about everyone else, thank goodness! Lots of POV!


message 13: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments okay, I just finished Part III

Yikes! this part has been pretty gory and bloody!!

Alex (view spoiler)

Wolf (view spoiler)

Tom (view spoiler)

all in all , so far, I've been pretty much CONFUSED!
I don't remember half of the people they are mentioning and this is all so fast paced that I'm having trouble trying to remember who anyone is WHILE trying to keep up! Ugh, it's kind of exhausting.

I'm hoping the next section will be easier!


message 14: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments So sorry Trisha. I was a little busy during the weekend. I'll try finishing part 1 by the end oft the day.

Well, based on the prologue and how confused I was when those people were mentioned, I'm not thrilled to see more of that either :/

Oh Chris lol it took me a while to recall who he was too :)


message 15: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments no worries. Yeah....it's pretty confusing. I don't remember all these names...maybe I'll dig through our old thread again :D


message 16: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Ugh all these names are really confusing!

I just finished part I

To be honest, I thought Spider was a HORSE at first :/

And Wolf?? Who the heck was this guy in book 1?

I kinda thought of Texan Chainsaw Massacre when it was mentioned that they wore human skin.


message 17: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments I know, the human skin part is really gross!!

Wolf is the Changed out in the clearing - but I think she fought him and ran in book 1 (I'm only guessing tho)

Spider....yeah...another one of the Change right? Along with Acne or Pimple or something right?? Ugh, I can't remember them all!!

I was trying to remember who all the females were too! Argh! So annoying that there isn't any handholding to remind us about book 1 :(


message 18: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Oh thanks for much! I totally had no ideas who was who. Too many names and yes, it would be so much better if there were something to remind us about those characters.

Are you enjoying this book so far? I might be a little slow. You know, being a very impatient person and all, I tend to get frustrated when the book confuses me.


message 19: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments I'm enjoying it for sheer entertainment value. I'm frustrated I don't know who anyone is so I'm taking it at face value and just trying to go along with the story - which is kind of easy since I don't remember anyone!! LOL!

I do remember Tom and Alex but they are so far apart and living separate lives that it's almost like reading 2 books at once. I'm hoping their stories merge together soon :)

and no word on Ellie yet :(


message 20: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Me too. I remember only Tom and Alex. Oh Ellie :( I hope she is ok.

I'll read part 2 tomorrow.


message 21: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments I just finished part IV

wow..it's really getting crazy

Tom (view spoiler)

Alex (view spoiler)

wolf (view spoiler)


message 22: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Is it getting better? I'm in middle of part 2, and it's so boring.


message 23: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments well...yes and no.
entertainment, it's interesting. I'm enjoying it but it's still kind of confusing.

I just finished Part V

lots of action but....near misses. it's pretty crazy


message 24: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments and I'm done...Hmmm...I'm not sure how I feel about this one...

I think it was too confusing to start
and never gave us details to remember anyone

yeah, there was a slow part in the middle

and I'm kind of bummed at the end.

I will read the last one tho :)

keep me posted on how you're doing Gisbelle!! :)


message 25: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments So glad to see you at least rated it 3 stars :) I'll try finish part 2 tomorrow.


message 26: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Sorry Trisha. I couldn't read part part 2. It was just too confusing and boring for me.


message 27: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 3 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments No worries...I don't blame you :)
