Shut Up & Read discussion

We will be starting tomorrow. Everyone is welcome to join the discussion.

Sheri, have you started?

Yep, I started yesterday. I was actually just getting ready to comment :) The world they live in is pretty interesting, and history of The Others is different. I like Meg...She seems like an interesting mystery.

The Others are an interesting group. Usually paranormals don't live together cohesively. Simon seems to have a tight control on them. They have a efficient way of getting rid of problems. Megan is on the run. It will be interesting to see how she fits in this world.

I like that it is not your typical paranormal read.

I agree. I wonder what the Terra Indigene are...I’m thinking fay maybe?

Let's just say you don't want to provoke them. I'll stop at that since I've read the series so I don't remember how much the first book covers them and I don't want to spoil anything.

Tess is one scary lady but I like her. What is she hiding? Meg is making friends with everyone. She is shy but when provoked she has a backbone.

Asia will be some special meat. She is playing with fire.

No kidding! That's how I see her ending, lol.

The Elementals are interesting. I like Winter. I hope we see more of them later.

Finished. I really liked this book. The world setting is different. I love the take on wolves and vampires. Some of the writing/word choices got on my nerves a little bit, lol...but I can overlook that because the story was interesting.

Asia didn't end up being special meat but she got what she deserved. Tess is one scary being. I would want to be on her good side. The Elementals have some serious power. The humans who thought they could win against the Others are crazy. I really enjoyed this read.

What do you want to read next?

Have you already read this whole series? I would keep reading this, but if you already read it we can pick something different.

Sheri wrote: "Have you already read this whole series? I would keep reading this, but if you already read it we can pick something different."

No, I haven't read the whole series. It was on my to finish list. Do you want to start the next one Monday?

Sure!

Should we keep it all in this thread?

Yeah that be fine. We can either change the thread name to the new book or just change it to the series title. That would work.

We will start Monday.

I just started.

I'll be starting tonight!

It makes me sick how people justify the enslavement of a group of people under the guise of protected them. WTH! No, it is for money and sick pleasure. Those people deserve what is coming to them. HFHL will not like the outcome of their war with the Others.

Where are all the crows hiding?

Meg and Simon are too funny!

HFHL are so sick people. What they did to the cassandra sangue to make the drugs beyond disgusting.

I finished. It was an enjoyable read. The relationship between Simon and Meg is adorable. Will it become more than friendship? I'm interested to see what will happen in the next book.

I think I'm at about 75%...where Phineas showed up at the Courtyard.

That was interesting. It is amazing what you can do with a broom and a tea kettle.

Leigh wrote: "That was interesting. It is amazing what you can do with a broom and a tea kettle."

Lol, whatever it takes :)

Finished. I liked this one, too. I hope we get to see more of what happens to the girls.

I do too. How about we skip a week then we can start the next one? If that is alright.

Perfect...that’s what I was thinking, too!

How about we start tomorrow?

That's good! I was hoping you hadn't started yet, either...what a busy week :)

How about Monday? This week has been crazy.

Sheri, have you started?

I did but I haven't read too far yet. I'll have more time tonight and tomorrow!

I finished up. We can discuss when you are ready.

Sorry! I've finished, just been too busy to post!

We will start tomorrow.

The HFHL have stepped up their vile tactics. They have no clue that they will never win. It is interesting that the blood prophets are learning new ways to see the future instead of cutting.

I got a late start, but I’m catching up. The HFL will get their karma.

We never really did talk about the the last book. I was so sad when Crystal died!

I love that Simon is starting to become more human... to think more like a human.

It was so sad. It was the first time we lost characters we liked. It was then we saw their vulnerability.

Sheri wrote: "I love that Simon is starting to become more human... to think more like a human."

Yes, it would not have happened without Meg.

We will start tomorrow.

I'm enjoying this series. The HFL sure made a mess of things.

Sheri wrote: "I'm enjoying this series. The HFL sure made a mess of things."

Yes, they did. Now the Others are trying to pick up the pieces. Without Meg it would have turned out a lot different. I like that the Blood prophets are developing a new way to see the future without cutting. I am enjoying the development of Meg and Simon's relationship.

Lieutenant Montgomery’s brother is going to be a problem. How is that going to effect the fragile relationship between the Others and the humans at Lakeside Courtyard?

I was wondering after the last book if he would show up there.

I also am not sure I trust Shady...Burke's brother? We don't know much about him.

Definitely getting into some new territory for both of them!
