Everyone loved Tyler, team audiobook thought the voices were awesome, and the majority of the group would love a follow-up to that ending.

The group is interested in reading sequel to this story. It was infuriating in the best way possible.

Even with the extra month to read this, the majority of the group didn't finish this. The ones who did agreed that there was great potential here, but it failed in its execution.

Overall thoughts were that the romance was lackluster and the book way too long. Quandra and Tracey are planning to read the rest of the series for closure.

Mishaps galore with this month's pick. It was very popular, so a few members didn't get it in time. Two people only got to page 20, and one member was reading the wrong book. No one felt like they missed out with the low ratings from the people who did finish.
