Good idea, keeping them all in one spot .. of course, we won't have anything in here until someone finishes the book!!!

Got the book in the mail this morning and couldn't hide it away, even with an exam tomorrow. The book was great, awesome, fantastic. I loved it. It made me laugh so much.
That Skyler seems to be the daughter of Razvan was a big surprice. I didn't expect that.
I can't wait till the next book gets here.

I was too surprised Skyler is a Dragonseeker, but in a way I suspected it.
And think of the babys to come: Tempest, Sara, Savannah are pregnant and Desari wanna get! A lot of little ones! Ha! And Gregoris daughter hiding from him ... it was that fun the way he was shocked!

I guessed and hoped he´ll have twin daughters ... they will hold him on the edge!
And the scene when he knew he must play Santa Claus ... his brothers hiding ...
I loved it, I loved it!

What Lucien and Jaxon. No babies for them?

No. Jaxon says clearly that she can´t conceive. Neither the De La Cruz lifemates, Colby and Juliette ... but what isn´t can happen ;-)
How will Shea and Jacques son be called? It would have be nice to know it. I love names, you know.

I hoped that they would have named him at the end of the book as well ... and I absolutely LOVED the scene when Savannah and Gregori were talking about his daughters! I laughed at so many parts of this book, my husband thought I was insane! It really made me torn between my impressoin of Manolito though, on the one hand he's so self sacrificing toward his prince and the welfare of his people and then on the other hand he's so sneaky and underhanded to get what he wants and thinks he deserves. Why didn't he just go to MaryAnn and introduce himself and let things happen naturally instead of sneaking into the bathroom and compelling her into the exchange? I didn't favor that at all, especially then seeing him be so heroic with saving the prince then Shea's life. He is truly an enigma ... but I think it might make his story very interesting! And Now that Skyler understands more about her heritage, and she sees how Dimitri wants to protect her, she defended him to her parents, as I suspected, her outlook on the whole lifemate issue is going to change, and she will slowly begin to come out of that shell she's been in. She will become a strong woman just like Destiny is, I'm betting on it!
This was an AWESOME book, it was awesome to see all the couples again and find out how they are all doing, and the children were wonderful, new babies! Tempest pregnant! how scary is that! *lol* I hope we find out the names of the babies as they arrive, and what each had, boys or girls. (Except we already know Savannah is having girls, I can't wait to see Gregori with them) I surely hope we get updates in future books on the children, not just the new arrivals but the existing children as well.
All in all I rate the book a 100!!
(I don't remember, why can't Jax colby and Julietta have babies? If it was mentioned in DC I don't recall it, it might have been one of the lesser important facts that sometimes slips through the cracks until I re-read a book)

I think everyone was so focused on other things that it didn't register to them what was happening to her. It was a great entrance to their story though, and a good way to get her closer to him, sending her to see Jasmine. I was so scared for Juliette and Riordan, I thought for sure she wasn't going to make it, but then they were able to bring her back. The whole book was absolutely fantastic! Definetly the best one to date, I thought Dark Demon was but this tops even that! And #1 pre-order book on Amazin.com.. how awesome is that!!

I agree with everything everyone said. This book blew me away. I loved every minute of it. Seeing the couples just interact was great. I especially like getting to see Syndel and Barracks relationship(sorry I always forget how to spell their names). I think they got chipped out of their own book. It was great to see them. It was great to see everyone.
