Checking in :)

Me too!! Love me some Armentrout!

I really need to read this. I just can't commit to buddy reads right now...but I might sneak in here with y'all if I can get to it. As long as you don't mind.

You know you are always welcome Miss Paris!!!

Btw - good luck this weekend! I hope you beat the pants off those lousy cheaters!!

:D

Hehe thanks. It's gonna be a stressful Sunday for sure.

V & Paris - How does your month look for this one?

I can try to slip it in whenever you want (hehehehe). The end of the month I'm going to Disneyland so I'll have limited internet access and no computer which makes posting on GR difficult. I leave on the 24th, so before then would be better.

I have 50 min on another one to go and then I can start this one if you like..........or read another one and wait lol

I am sooo jealous Paris.

Oh fun Paris!!! I guess if you're going to suffer through less internet accesss that's the way to do it!

I'll finish up one today and can start this one next - probably tonight. :)

Cool. Then I'll start today!

We're taking my 4 year old nephew and he's going to flip out. He doesn't know yet. It should be a blast.

Awwww.... That will be incredible, P!!!

His mom showed him a video of Disneyland and he said it looked cool and he hoped he could go someday. He loves rides and Captain America, it should be a ton of fun.

He will be so thrilled! I can't wait to hear about it!

I will tell you all about it when I catch my breath. lol And drink a bunch.

Haha! After a day at the parks, I'm thinking a drink or two will definitely be called for!

We are going to be there for 4 days. I'm not really a crowd or kid kind of person, so it'll definitely be testing me. Plus it might be hot and I hate the heat. lol

On second thought, why stop at 2? :D

Hahahah that's kinda what I've been thinking.

Okay so I started reading this and I'm just starting chapter 5...

Zayne (view spoiler)[I didn't really like him that much in the first one because I felt like he was an ass to Layla. I am feeling it again in this book too. I feel like he treats her like a child one second and then leads her on the next. The crap with Danika makes me angry too. He knows that everyone expects him and Danika to marry and Danika might be a nice girl, but do you need to flaunt her in front of Layla when you know Layla likes you. Ugh (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I don't like that either Paris (view spoiler)[ he looks at her and tells her that she is beautiful knowing that she is in love with him.
What was the thing about "my Black bra"? I didn't get it, is it because black is sexy / bad and white is good / virginal perhaps? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11 Wow Roth (view spoiler)[ really is being an ass hole !! (hide spoiler)]

I'm up to Chapter 7

I don't know what was up with the (view spoiler)[ black bra... it was spoken quite a few times so I'm guessing it made her look less innocent/virginal?

Bambi freaks me out. How do you sit in class with that thing wrapped and moving around in your shirt and keep a straight face??? First of all, I am not a fan of snakes so I would be running around campus screaming "get it off me! get it off me!" - but even if you are ok with them, I think it would be creepy and tickle?

The warden got what was coming to him. :)

Roth just gave Layla the blow off. He's such a liar. But I kind of wanted her to quit acting like a kicked puppy..
(hide spoiler)]

I want a shinanigan sensor!

Lol, there are some cracking one liners in this one

Zayne & Roth both have freaky mood swings but probably nothing a little medication couldn't even out a bit...

I can't work Zane out at the minute (view spoiler)[ I think he is acting very much the way Roth does, I wouldn't be surprised if Roth is possessing Zane somehow just to spend time with Layla. (hide spoiler)]

Hmmm.... Interesting... I'm at Ch-13. Zane just found her (view spoiler)[sneaking around the house in the wee hours of the morning. She was checking out the blood root vial... (hide spoiler)]

A lopsided SHRUG! Mixin it up!

OOhh that's new!

I'm at work at the min so can't carry on till I finish at 5pm.

You're just ahead of me, I'm up to (view spoiler)[ the 2 strange men stopping them in the garage with a bible lol (hide spoiler)]

Yea, I'm not that far ahead. Work is stupid. Why can't they just pay us to read. ;)

I know!

That's were I got before I fell asleep last night. Now I'm off to work. I might get to read if we aren't busy. I'll check back in tonight and comment

Me too!

I'm on the way home now so catching up.

I think Vicci, you're either right about Zayne or maybe (view spoiler)[He's been in contact with the Lilin (hide spoiler)]

I absolutely hate the way all the male wardens treat Layla...except maybe Dez. He seems super nice. But Abbott especially (view spoiler)[why does he treat her so poorly? Even before all this stuff really started going down, he was bad to her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 19
(view spoiler)[ hmm... So interesting turn of events.. Wonder what Abbott's reaction will be...

Certainly didn't expect Z to be carrying his V-card... (hide spoiler)]

Response to Kristin

(view spoiler)[I was kind of surprised by Zayne still having his V-card too. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[I seriously freaking hate Abbott. I want her and Zayne to leave there. And if they could just have those two move in with Roth and the three of them could have a nice menage relationship, I'd definitely be okay with that. Then I wouldn't have to choose who I want her with. lol (hide spoiler)]

Holy balls ladies. Holy.....balls. You need to finish this thing. I mean...I kinda had a feeling, but I was in the ballpark, but I wasn't playing the same game.

Do not read this until you finish cause it's a whole lot of rambling about the book after chapter 21 cause my brain cannot separate the chapters the way I was before.

(view spoiler)[I knew that the shit was going to hit the fan with the wardens. I mean, most of them are asshats and they were going to blame Layla for everything. I hope Zayne kicked his dad's ass for what he did to Layla. I knew Dez was awesome and Nicolai. I hope they didn't get in trouble for helping her.

I knew something was up with Sam, but I never suspected he was the Lilin. I thought he might have been infected, although he was getting better, cooler, not worse like Dean and Gareth. I cannot believe she ended the book like that. Holy cliffhanger. I really need the next book now. (hide spoiler)]

So, now that you are done with the book and it's obviously way too late to actually do so, if you had the opportunity to vote in the poll that determined who Layla ended up with, who would you choose? Zayne or Roth?

(view spoiler)[In the first book, I was Roth all the way. This book, I was still mostly Roth, but Zayne poked his head in there and made me like him. But I think I'm still all about Roth. Zayne's actions seemed a little too little too late. Why didn't he speak up earlier? It wasn't until Roth came into the picture and left the picture that he started to actually act on his supposed feelings. And yeah, he said it was the almost dying thing that spurred him into action, but I still feel like something was missing.

And Roth is the only one who told her he loved her. Yeah it was while she was passing out, but at least he told her how he felt. Zayne just kept telling her that he had feelings for her and took things to the physical level, but never really got to the depth of his feelings. Of course, I'm sure he will in book 3 after this latest near death experience. Argh! (hide spoiler)]

Lol! I passed out last night before 10 -- UNHEARD OF!! Now I'm trying to figure out where I left off. Course it's only 5:45am so I'll likely fall asleep again but I can't help but try to listen to more after seeing your unspoiled comments! :)

Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ How is Stacey going to react after seeing that in the theatre! they have to know now.........Also there is something weird about Sam!! (hide spoiler)]

And i was surprised about Zane (view spoiler)[ still having his v card (hide spoiler)] too !! how did that happen??

"Kind of like bigfoot!" Haha!!

Ha! i hate it when that happens, you end up rewinding loads of it!

Noooooo!

Chapter 33/34 (view spoiler)[ SQEEEEEEEEEEEEE (hide spoiler)]

Finished !!!

(view spoiler)[ I knew that there was something weird about Sam but I didn'I suspect that!!
Cliffhanger grrrr I'm just listening to the bonus part at the end of the audio from Zanes POV.

I have to say I am Roth all the way, Zane left it too little too late for me, and i agree with you Paris he didn't seem to show it until Roth showed up, he treated her like a little sister throughout the last book! (hide spoiler)]

You guys are killing me!!!

Yep! Fell asleep again... LOL!! In my defense, I can't remember the last time I've had this much glorious sleep!

I'm where Roth takes Layla to the demon club... She's dancing with "sister" and "brother"...
