Shut Up & Read discussion

We will be starting Monday!

How many chapters/day?

It looks like 9 a day. This book doesn't seem too much shorter than the last couple (only by 50 pages actually), so these chapters must be longer.

Are you ready Alyssia? I'm looking forward to this one just because I'm anxious to see what is done with Kaleb.

I should be able to do that. I'm ready for this one. I want to see what makes Kaleb tick.

I think having Kaleb's TK ability would be pretty awesome. Imagine everything you could get done during the day, all while sitting and doing something else - watching TV or reading a book :)

I agree. I would love his abilities! How is Sahara connected to Kaleb? Do you think he knew her while he was under Enrique's tutelage? What is the Labyrinth?

The labyrinth is her mind. She made it into a place impossible to navigate (described by her as a labyrinth) so the people who had been holding her couldn't break into it and get her information. It seems to be part of what makes her "crazy." Even she seems to be having a hard time navigating it.

That was pretty ingenious to create such a protective wall to keep others from using her. (view spoiler)[ another one bites the dust. Titianna should not have messed with Kaleb's woman. (hide spoiler)]

The new guy in charge of Pure Psy is worse than Henry. I thought Sienna had it bad but Kaleb was stuck with Enreque since he was 3. That is horrible!

If Kaleb and Sienna teamed up that would be an unstoppable weapon/team.

No kidding.

Who would have thought Kaleb had a soft side?

I think because his childhood was taken he doesn't like to see innocent people suffer. (view spoiler)[Enrique was really Kaleb's father. How do you live that down? (hide spoiler)]

While I do like getting to know Kaleb and understand his many, many, many layers, I miss the changelings :)

They are not out completely.

I wonder how the Psy could have pretended to be silent for so long. Obviously, none of them are...especially the most powerful ones who are supposedly perfect Psy.

I think because they are more powerful they were able to hide it. The whole silent thing didn't work any way.

(view spoiler)[Enrique was one sick bastard using his own son to carry out his sick plans (hide spoiler)]

I missed this thread. I'll probably start late today or tomorrow. I hope to get it done by Saturday!

I'm liking it but I am really missing the changelings. As much as I wanted to know about Kaleb, I still like the changelings more.

Leigh - about your spoiler: I agree!

The changelings are more fun and playful.

Which spoiler?

Lol, all of them really, but I was referring to the last one. Too bad he's already dead. I'm sure the cats/wolves would have loved killing him again.

Definitely! It makes me angry that not one Psy was willing to confront or stop Enrique. When evil is in charge a lot of atrocities are over looked because they are the ones carrying then out.

These are some quotes that I liked.

“So we literally made the earth move? A slight pause, before Kaleb said, I suggest we don’t engage in sex in populated areas.”
― Nalini Singh, Heart of Obsidian

“To fight evil, you have to understand the dark.”

“You’ll have to be my conscience.” He knew his flaws, and he knew the parts of him that were irrevocably broken. “Mine isn’t going to grow back.”

“You", he said, "are the single exception that rule". The oldest, deepest, most beautiful flaw in his Silence."Without you, I would be a monster.”

“Some things need to be broken to become stronger.”

I finished.

Finally finished. I have to say that although I gave this 4 stars, I didn't like this one as much as the others. I would have given it 3.5 if I could have, but rounded up. I guess I thought it was a bit slower and not as playful.

I do, however, see the benefits of having a telekinetic bed partner :) Plus, Sahara's ability would be pretty cool at times, though you'd have to use it with discretion so you didn't let the power go to your head.

I agree. I didn't like it as much. It was slower and more clinical. I missed the emotional, playful side that the changelings bring to the story.

The combination of Kaleb's TK powers and Sahara's powers one powerful combination.

Are we starting ?

Yes please :) I was going to start a thread yesterday but we've been without Internet since yesterday morning. We had some storms go through and half the town is without power...luckily we still have that!!

I'm in. Did y'all have any damage because of the storms?

Nope, not for us. There's quite a bit around town, though. Mostly trees and things that had been blown around.

I'm glad y'all had no damage and your town was mostly unscathed.
