And about that snippet...

Three weeks after Curran stands her up, and Kate has still heard nothing!?!?!  I so hope she gets to hit him.

Me too! It's heartbreaking to see her like that!

About On the Edge, I love Declan's family! They totally cracked me up! And the two boys were just adorable.

Kate needs to kick Curran's arse! (and then ravish him!  LOL )

I love Declan's family too! One of my favoroite lines in the books is from his grandfather (I think)
"Did you see that?" He just rescued her from us. The wedding is on!"  LOL
(I dont have my book, but I believe that is the correct quote.)

I love the hero and the story behind the baddies.

I loved hearing about the de-evolution of the group that created the monster-maker. Very interesting. I'd love to hear even more. And I found a few other things interesting: 1) did it seem like there was a hint of a foreshadowing of an attempt by the Weird to sabotage or invade the Broken? I'm just thinking of Ellie's reaction to hearing about William & Declan's training on how to do this. But then again, what purpose would it serve? If they stay too long in the Broken, they lose their magic. Well, it sparked a thought.

And I'm really wondering why Declan joined the Red Guard, why he didn't want to be an Earl in the first place. He seems like he loves his family and vice versa. Maybe they've been too overbearing? They pressured him too much initially? It sounds like a very interesting backstory.

And I couldn't quite understand the strength of William's issues with Declan having a loving family. I understand his being upset, etc., but he really seemed to hate him and want to kill him, so is there more to this story? Since the next story will be William's, hopefully we'll get to hear more.

Cerulean, I didn't think that William hated Declan for HAVING a family. I think he was furious with Declan for having that loving family and walking away from them to join the Red Guard. To William, who values having a family so much he was trying to court Rose just so he could have one, it must have seemed that Declan had everything and just threw it away.

And as to why Declan would walk away, I think he put it pretty plainly: he just didn't want the responsibility. He wanted to be beholden only to himself. If you've been raised since childhood with the knowledge that a world of responsibility rests on your shoulders, I imagine that a footloose kind of life might be tempting.

I'm looking forward to finding out more about William, though.  :D

I had no idea the next book was about William since I stay away from the snippets. That's good to know. I really like William.

Didn't realise that they'd be switching main characters either. I like William too. He's quite interesting, and here's hoping he deals with his emotional issues.

If there are more books contracted in this series- Ilona also said she will do more with Rose and Declan. I really hope there will be more and I also cant wait to read William. Definitely became a fan fave for me in the book :D

I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but I have an idea about why Curran blew Kate off for dinner.

I think it's because of all that blood in the last book.  Kate's always so careful about letting her blood get found, and there was an awful lot of random blood flowing around and not getting mopped up.  I wonder if Curran found out, and now he's not so sure what he's planning to mate.

Like I said, I'm probably not the first person to come up with this theory.  It just struck me this morning, though, so I share.
