Challenge Corner discussion

You have been lied to.

Werewolves, vampires, ghosts … they aren’t what you think.

After the death of her mother, Everly Boderleth has to go back to her spooky hometown, Shroudhaven, and she has a plan to get in and out as quick as possible.

Step one, clear out the family home and antique store.

Step two, watch her childhood sweetheart die violently at the hands of an indescribable, horrific creature.

Wait, what?

That wasn't part of the plan. But it was just a dream, wasn't it?

As the evidence mounts that what she saw was real, a broken heart is the least of her problems.

Everly thinks she's close to the truth, but nothing is as it seems.

What is really lurking in the dark?

Starting this now!

Ch 7: (view spoiler)[I was thinking he was a Vampire.. but now I'm wondering what he even is. A demon of some sort? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 14: (view spoiler)[This is so weird.. is he a vampire? Are they vampires? Ghost hunters? What was with the weird ass octopus? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21: (view spoiler)[I feel like my head is spinning with everything that is going on. Also, I want to find out who put peanut butter on her and made her go through all that tragic shit.. just to kill him myself. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 22: (view spoiler)[OMG PET SEMATARY VIBES? (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Wait, wait, wait... WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! That's how it's going to end? Ugh, why! They can only talk in dream-state and I just want to know what happened to him and why he can't wake up!! Ugh, hopefully the second book will give some answers! (hide spoiler)]

That two stars doesn't motivate me but I'm starting now!

Uh oh. I'm trying to finish Mask of Mirrors, then I'll start this one

You got this!

25% - (view spoiler)[I thought he was some kind of shapeshifter and her some dragon shifter? It's very vague so far. (hide spoiler)]
50% - (view spoiler)[No one knows what's going on lol that's reassuring. Also, what's up with him being in her dreams? (hide spoiler)]
75% - (view spoiler)[ What happened to Lian's husband? (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[The whole not waking up thing is weird and I guess they'll find out who to wake him in the next book which I probably won't read to be honest. This was okay but not great. (hide spoiler)]

Ahah yeah (view spoiler)[I didn't think he'd stay like that but when I saw that no one was talking of ways to get him out, I figured the author wanted to make it like a cliffhanger. (hide spoiler)]

LOL this was all kinds of confusing and if I dive into the second book I'm hoping that we get answers.

ch 9 (view spoiler)[ Not much happening yet. It seems like Rylan is a vampire and maybe there's a shifter somewhere too. At least this is going by quickly (hide spoiler)]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 7: [spoilers removed]"

Hmm, good thought

@25% (view spoiler)[ Oh, her being an actual dragon makes sense (hide spoiler)]

ch 15 (view spoiler)[ So Callan and Rylan are werewolves maybe? I don't know, I'm confused. The stone angel thing reminded me of Doctor Who (hide spoiler)]
ch 22 (view spoiler)[ The shifter thing is interesting. I wonder what Evie is and how she didn't know before now? And that academy is super racist and homophobic ugh (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Bit anti-climactic. I hoped they'd heal Rylan, but he's still in a coma or whatever. (hide spoiler)]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 21: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah that was horrible

Alaina wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, sort of a let down ending. Maybe the second book will have a lot of answers?

Yeah, I'd read the sequel if I remembered to, but I'll probably forget lol
