message 10: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Haha...I know. She doesn't shy away from it, that's for sure.


message 11: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I think this is a series we need to read all of


message 12: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Did you get to the part with them staying in the caravan lmao 😜


message 13: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Yeah, I think we need to, just loved them both :)


message 14: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Lol...I know, caravan was funny. Sorry ladies but I finished it last night haha


message 15: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Same and I should finish tomorrow for sure πŸ‘ I already picked up the second one


message 16: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Obviously Veronica and stoker are great but I love this because it has no real world building, you just read and it’s so easy to love.


message 17: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I think my library has the second one, so will reserve that too.
I know, cause its just our world, not hard to situate yourself and I just loved both of them and their interaction. Also liked Lady Cordelia too.


message 18: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments hey guys! I'm very slow at this one, but I'm chugging along :)
I love Veronica too!! I love how quickly she was like, yeah you're not who you want to make yourself out to be, you come from money and he was just in shock lol.
i just got to the part where Max (I believe) was just murdered :o


message 19: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Hey Bella, no worries and no rush. Yeah, she is very observant and she speaks her mind, thats for sure lol


message 20: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments I just finished it!! it was very fun! I loved the characters and their relationships:) I'm excited for the next book and their hinted expeditions :)


message 21: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Yeah, I thought so too. Did you suspect her real identity? :)


message 22: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments There were so many fun/funny moments that made me smile.


message 23: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I’m almost done!


message 24: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments no, not at all!! I honestly was so confused about why they would be that desperate to be after her, killing people in the process! and it was just funny how flippant she was about it lol. but yes, I loved their relationship, all the teasing haha. Was it Sidonie who kept offering herself up to Stoker? and when Veronica "caught" them she started telling Stoker that he should indulge if he wanted to and he got so mad!! haha


message 25: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I thought it must be somebody high up, but not that high lol. Loved her and Stoker, thats for sure. That scene with the knives when he took her over his shoulder haha. They are great together...I love it how he gets all wound up when she says certain things haha.


message 26: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments omg yesss!! ugh they're so cute! I love that it's a little more of a slow-burn romance and that the author emphasized their mutual respect and friendship before all else :) I think it'll make their eventual romance even more meaningful in the next books!


message 27: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Totally agree, Bella! Definitely want to continue with this series :)


message 28: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments What do you guys want to read next? The second Veronica book or The Women?


message 29: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1177 comments i can start the second book! I borrowed it already:) but I can also wait! Courtney, what do you think?


message 30: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments I borrowed the second book too and I have The Women on my shelves, so whichever works for me too. Courtney, you can be the decisive one haha


message 31: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments The second one I just finished I loved it! I love Veronica and Joker I cannot wait to read the second one so let’s do the second one and see how we feel after that. The women might just have to wait I don’t know lol.


message 32: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Sold...haha...lets do the second one. I think there are 9 books in the series :). I can start today/tomorrow, whenever works.


message 33: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I can start whenever too I have it right here. I’m thinking we will probably want a little reprieve from the series a few books in so a change will be good and then we can continue on.. or maybe we don’t need a break from it, who knows. I loved this for everything it was and wasn’t. It was comforting! Did you guys have any guesses as to who she was?


message 34: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Cool, I think I will aim to start tomorrow if that works. Yeah, we will see how we go. Exactly, it was fun and funny, it was just lovely. I thought it must be someone high up but didn't think it was the Prince at first.


message 35: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Me either


message 36: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Should we make a new thread for the second book? or should we just use this one?


message 37: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments Hmm idk what do you think?


message 38: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Not sure...can you rename the thread to simply The Veronica Speedwell series?

F. | 134 comments I found this series last year and have just finished An Impossible Impostor #7 in the series.
Really like the relationship between Stoker and Veronica.
Veronica is definitely not your normal Victorian miss, but her and Stoker definitely fit.


message 40: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments I just tried, but I couldn’t find a way to edit it so I’ll just make another one and then that one will be the Veronica Speedwell series


message 41: by Courtney (new)

Courtney Webb | 1361 comments & thank you so much I’ll def look into that!


message 42: by Corina (new)

Corina | 2768 comments Wonderful, sounds good.
