Do you think you'd like to read the sequel? (Or is this a companion series?) Maybe that would suit better for you if some things are fixed in the sequel? Though.. then again.. if the second part was lackluster for you, maybe not =/ Sorry this wasn't up your alley, my love! <br /><br />Siiri @ <a href="http://littlepiecesofimagination.blogspot.com/2016/02/halsey-book-tag.html" rel="nofollow">Little Pieces of Imagination</a>Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-2692421188792887902016-02-18T07:41:09.521+00:002016-02-18T07:41:09.521+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-58571638585060881872016-02-17T15:58:28.779+00:002016-02-17T15:58:28.779+00:00Oh no!

It does sound like it's got a really good story, but if the story line gets too unbelievable, I think I might give this one a miss.Samantha Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751599254054669479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-47954760597006500312016-02-17T11:17:45.368+00:002016-02-17T11:17:45.368+00:00Oh man, it's so disappointing when books lose ...Oh man, it's so disappointing when books lose their spark like that!
