*snerk* at Mary Sue Bleeds. I don't think I've ever read any Jill Myles. Must rectify that.  :-whistle

I don't want to write the great American novel. I want to write the great American beach read. It pays better!

Yes! I can read the spoilers now.  bOuNcY

I had high expectations for Magic Bleeds and I was a little worried I would be disappointed. But I wasn't. The book was fantastic. LOVED IT!!!!

I just finished the book. I loved it. :-LOVE :-LOVE :-LOVE :-LOVE It's maybe the first time in my life I finish a book and feel the need to read it again right away. ;D It's so awesome I have no words for it.

Erra is one of my favorite villains ever. She and Kate drinking tea together and looking up the definition of "psychopath" had me in laughing fits.

On a scale of 1-5, I have to give this one a 10.  When's the next one? :(

I can't believe how hooked I am to Ilona's blog! It's only been two days since the last post and I'm in withdrawal!

Maz- I totally agree, that was definitely one of the better villains I have seen in a while!

I must agree as well...great villain -- I almost liked her.  The Psycopath scene had me in stitches.  LOL

I was rereading the last fight yesterday and came across something interesting that I hadn't noticed the first time round.

After Erra dies and when Curren picks Kate up, there is a vampire watching them... and Kate breaks Erra's blood ward with her own blood so Curran doesn't get hurt again. I wonder if Gastek is piloting that vamp? I have a feeling that he will definitely notice something like that...

Interesting. I didn't notice that Art, good call.

However, I get the feeling that Ghastek may not use the info against Kate because he respects and likes her.

I'm not sure.

I think that Gastek being a "good guy", just because he respects her, is just a waste of his character. I can see him being either good or bad, but whichever one Ilona and Gordon make him, he will amazingly complex and we won't know what he is unitl the very last minute. I can't wait LOL
