This book is taking me forever to read. So many small problems with it that could have been prevented. Even w/ the problems, I love Bram & Nora.

"..need to stop acting like a little girl --wah- wah, I was bitten, my life sucks so bad. All of our lives suck right now, okay? You might think yours is an extra special sparkly rainbow unicorn fart type of suck, but it's not. Just get on with it! Throw that stupid useless eyeball away and get on with it!" .... best motivational speech EVER! LOL

Total love/hate relationship with this book.

I will not skip the other character's POV but boy am I tempted!!!!!!

I absolutely love Nora and Bram's chapters but I get annoyed with the other POV's to the point of setting the book down. I'm only at halfway point and it feels like I've been reading this forever.

"'How is telling her the truth disrespectufl? It's not like I enjoy introducing myself as a creature from beyond the grave.' I desperately wanted to roll my eyes, but we were discouraged from doing so. The muscles around the eyes are always some of the first to go."

Love the characters in this book. I haven't been too picky about the world building (it could be flawed, full of holes...who knows) since I've been too into the story. Call me a hypocrite. I know.

I'm at work. I've been at work ALL DAY. I'm about ready to cry buckets but now I'm just whining. Anyhow, no reading time for me.....

"They were men. They looked like men, at least -human- but like people who had been dead for months, years, in all stages of decay- flesh hanging limply off limbs, bones exposed..." ahhh, how I missed my zombies.

start tomorrow.
