    Interested in The Waking Dark. It looks so...dark. I mean, what is going on that day? I've heard mixed things about the author's writing in previous books though so I'm wondering how that will work out for you. Happy weekend!

    I read Defiance last year and I enjoyed it but had no real inclination to continue with the series. But, The Walking Dark looks awesome! I love that cover it really gives off a creepy, scary and dark mood. I'm looking forward to seeing how felt about it :)

    I loved the male MC, but not so much the female MC in Defiance. I am planning on reading Deception and am curious how things are going to go. I've got a lot of books I need to read, including several from the library. The hard part is choosing. :)

    OMG WAIT. Is that the finished copy of Between the Devil!? I pre-ordered that one... can't wait for my copy to come! I read it back in June... or July? Whatever. It was AWESOME. My most anticipated debut of 2013... did not disappoint. An all-time favorite for me! :)

    Have a terrific weekend!

    Ha, I'm still waiting on The Waking Dark on NG. I think I'm being ignored since I didn't leave the most favorable of reviews for Rapture :O. Hope you enjoy it! The cover looks fabulous and that GR synopsis? Yesss.

    I'd read some GR reviews that convinced me DEFIANCE wasn't for me, but I do hope you enjoy DECEPTION. For some reason, I got really into the title reveal for that one back in the day. Even without having read the first book, I was still thinking of D word titles.

    Welcome back from vacation! Hope it was enjoyable. Any chance of seeing pics from wherever you went :D??

    Hmm I was supposed to be getting an invite for a few Random House books but I still haven't gotten them...I'm kind of thinking I should just request them, because The Walking Dark looks really good!!
    I hope you enjoyed your vacation!

    I still haven't gotten approved for The Waking Dark on NG. I loved Wasserman's last novel, so I'm really excited for this one, but I can always pick it up on audio, which hopefully will provide for an even creepier story. :)

    I was going to start Defiance and Deception now, but I've heard mixed things about book 2, so now I'm not sure if I should wait until closer to book 3 releases. WIll be waiting for your thoughts.
