I've decided to sit this one out. Enjoy!

no problem dear!

Today I can. Does anyone know how many chapters there are?

18

Jenne wrote: "18"

yep 18 chapters

It's that good? Perhaps I will try to do a little "stealth" reading, so don't be surprised if I comment occasionally. When are you starting?

Oh just ask everyone what a mess I was with this last year. Book 1 was good, 2 was awesome, 3+ was omg omg it's soooo good. I'm soooo jealous y'all get to meet Dex for the first time.

Ok, Jenne. I'm going out on a limb and trusting your recommendation. Fellow readers, when shall we begin? This is a loooong book!

Is six chapters a day good for everyone?

I am with Jenne. You HAVE to read this book and the entire series. I am planning a re-read sometime this year and probably every year forever. I love me some Dex and Perry. Have fun!

I can go with 6 chps a day and start whenever

I think I can do 4, maybe 5 chapters a day.

4 is better. 5 absolute most I can handle. Starting?

I am not starting this one today, but y'all go ahead. I need to finish bold tricks so I can get that series wrapped up. I can start on Monday AFTER THE COWBOYS come back from the Ice Bowl 2

Monday is better for me, too.

Monday it is!!
See you in Bold Tricks Ezi lol

I started I'll only read 4 chapters then.

I am on chapter 2 of Bold tricks...By the way, Javier is a trick!

I'm up to Chapter 10. (view spoiler)[I think and fear that Perry is losing her mind. Dex comes off as creepy one minute and kinda cute the next. I'm definitely not sure what to make of the lighthouse though (hide spoiler)].

Is it a good read?

Yes it is so far.

Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ wrote: "Yes it is so far."

Ok

CHAPTERS 1 - 4
Well, one thing I can say is this book creates a certain atmosphere. I am reading in a room illuminated only by the light from my muted TV. I caught myself looking up from my tablet and scanning the room just to make sure I am alone and nothing is sneaking up on me! LOL
I am also glad to know that nothing can approach me from behind because the back of my chaise is against the wall. Reminds me of a couple of centuries ago when I was a kid watching horror movies late at night - alone, utterly terrified, and loving it. So one thing this book has helped me to remember is how much I like to be scared, um, in a controlled environment that is. (Oh Btw, perhaps you've noticed I often ramble? Get used to it. There will be more!) Uh, insert maniacal laughter here 》》BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Anyhow, I am confused, suspicious, and wondering (view spoiler)[ WTF is going on in this lighthouse, and who/what the hell is Dex? (hide spoiler)]
I am stopping here as we agreed.

Oh hell no. I don't do scary movies

Good morning, my Ezi. Hey, before you get those undergarments twisted consider the source . . . and the setting. It was a dark and stormy night, (Sorry about that one. I couldn't resist! LOL) 2 a.m.-ish, I'm a resident of The Nest, and .... hmmm, I think I have to put that last thought in a PM! Seriously though, it's a ghost story so a little scary goes with the territory! AND four other people are reading this book and no one has made a similar comment. Probably just me and my (insert eyebrow waggle here) overactive imagination!

Lou

(view spoiler)[Dex is a complex character that must be savored and unwrapped throughout the books lol. The lighthouse is freaky huh? (hide spoiler)]

Blood and gory I can do (see Spartacus) but ghosts? Then again, I wasn't scared by Amanda Steven's series . I didnt' why everyone was so scared. SO I might be alright with this one

It's really more creepy and eerie vs scary.

Jenne wrote: "It's really more creepy and eerie vs scary."

Ok, Jenne. I can roll with that. To me creepy means as I read the hair stands up on the back of my neck. Scary means I want to scream, run, and maybe hide in a closet. So yeah, creeeeeeee-py!

I'm up to chapter 4 I think (view spoiler)[ We have just met Dex in the lighthouse (hide spoiler)]

Hmmm this is getting weird now!
(view spoiler)[ Perry has just had an episode on the beach, and the story that she made up actually turns out to be true!! (hide spoiler)]

You'll find many instants like that.

I'm nearly finished this now, really enjoyed it and will definitely carry on with the series, love Dex already he's quirky!

I'm right near the end (view spoiler)[ Perry has just met Jimmy (the jerk) and Dex has convinced her to sign the contract.....on his heart! (hide spoiler)]

I will start this sometime this weekend. I wish it were on audio sooo bad!

I know it sucks !!

It's good though, I've really enjoyed it.

Just finished ! Questions questions?!?!

I'm going to read the next one in Feb if you fancy it guys?

Are you going to be hooked like Jenne and Kristin-Terror (K-Terror)?

Haha I don't think I'll be that hooked but it does make you want to pick the next one up, it's like you are just meeting the characters and getting to know them.

V the next one is even better! After finishing the 3rd good luck not storming through them!

Haha I am definitely looking forward to see what they have planned together!
