I'm really amazed at how much Kate has changed since Magic Bites, you can see how all the relationships she's developing (with Curran, Andrea, Derek...) are making her redesign her POV on lots of things. :)

And today's blog post has a glimpse of a short story (?) about Kate as a youngster growing up with Greg. Very interesting!

I started reading Magic Bites and I found it hard to understand and get into at first. I'm on Chapter 7 now and its starting to make sense. Are the other 2 books of this series hard to understand like this one? Do they get better with each book like the Mercy novels?

I haven't bought the other 2 books yet because I don't want to get disappointed.

The first book is the only one I've heard any complaints on. The series definatly gets better as it progresses, if only because you understand the world.

Yeah, I think in the first one, she has to take so much time explaining the world and establishing the relationships, that it takes a bit longer for the story to really get started. For the next two books, she doesn't have to take that amount of time up front.

You wont be disappointed. I thought the same thing when I began Magic Bites. I pushed through the first half of the book wondering if I made a mistake buying all 3 books at once. Then once I got to the second half of the book, I couldnt put it down. The next 2 books are fantastic. Keep going!

I agree... It's better to just make it through the first part of book 1. After reading all 3 books, I went back and read the first again and liked it a lot more. The series is really fantastic and I'm so excited for the next one.

Read On the Edge yesterday. Another great book!  :D

Love love loved how Declan just agreed to Rose's challenges to marry her when that wasn't the reason he went there at all. I can just imagine a snippet from his POV about this crazy lady coming out of the house telling him she won't sleep with him, etc.

Oh yes, that is a great scene! Especially when we found out why he went to Rose's house in the first place. He had been chased off by half the town by that point.  LOL  Another favorite moment is when Declan helped Georgie realize that he couldnt help keep everything he loved alive after they died. I really love Georgie and Jack.
