I absolutely loved it! It may seem a little slow in some parts but then bam so much happens one of my favourite book series! ?
It’s been a while but I loved it.
I have and I really love them!!! Have the kindle version, and paper back!!! I’ve read them twice!?

Audio is amazing!! Read listen, lovely stories.
Loved them!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to see the tv series they are coming out with!!!
@Alison I started the tv series yesterday. Was a bit disappointed 🙁
@Jennifer oh no… I had high hopes for it
It was very true to the books. It wasn’t “Oscar worthy” but not horrible.
@Kelly well that’s worth watching it at least
Loved them!
Sounds good! Just d/l onto my Kindle.
Great. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Loved it! I’m waiting on the 3rd book to be at my library ?

Loved it ??
Love it! One of my favorite series
Reading it now & enjoying it thoroughly ?
Loved it
I was disappointed..
Loads of hype about the book.
Read much better books to be honest..
I started it but put it down for a while and haven’t got round to picking it back up. I don’t like either of the main characters so far, although I’ve been told they become more likeable so I do plan to persevere at some point
Didn’t do it for me. I persevered to the end but then wondered why I’d wasted valuable reading time…..
Absolutely loved the books, reread them a fair few times (I do the real time reading too) have the hardback edition and kindle, also the extra books lol. Loved the tv series too x
Loved the books – thought the tv series was weak
I down loaded it to my kindle after whatching the program i havent yet got round to reading yet ..
Yes, loved them.
Yes loved it!! Just started second book in the series
I loved it. It’s a series now on Foxtel. Must get round to reading the next one…so many books in the list ?
That book is great. The sequels are good but not up to same level.
I found book 1 unputdownable (not a real word I’m sure but the only ne I could think of lol). As for the following 2 they don’t pull me in as much. The TV, which covers book one, series was good but a lot different to the book itself as they usually are.
Reply, I found that as well. ?book one – read it really quickly, now on to book two but reading it more slowly, I’m enjoying it though
They are all good books in their own ways. It’s just that book one was more gripping and I had to find out what was going to happen next, I even used a recipe book stand to be able to read whilst cooking lol. Whereas the others I enjoyed but plodded my way through and didn’t feel as compelled to keep going.
My favorite series! ?
Just started.. good so far
I stopped midway thru book one. It was repetitive and got boring.
Loved it
I loved it.
Loved it!
I read them, they were just ok, nothing very special
Read 20% of the first and then sold all three on eBay and got all my money back! Boring as hell!
I put it down but everyone’s taste is different
I loved it but can’t get into the sequel.
Didn’t finish it. A yawn for me.
Loved it!!!
Great book!!
it was okay…LONG could have been shortened.
I tried to read the first book, but it didn’t hold my attention. I’m planning on trying again, because I hear good things.
I tried the first book and gave up.
I really enjoyed it.
I liked it
I have and really enjoyed i read all three in a week
Excellent!
Enjoyed it, and the next one, Shadow of Night.
That one is my favorite!!
Loved it!!!!
Wasn’t bad. Never saw a follow up. Would have been nice
There’s 4 in the series now
About 100 pages in- pretty good.
Let me know if you start it and we can buddy read the series.
@Jennifer I started it last night- I’m only like 15 pages in because I was pretty tired but I wanted to at least start it!
@Samantha I’m working to finish 2 other books today and tomorrow so I probably won’t pick it back up until this weekend- it’s a good book but a slower read for me. We could PM and chat and make a reading plan if you like- no pressure. ?
I think the book itself is a good concept that’s been poorly executed. There are a lot of interesting ideas brought up throughout the series, but none of them really seem to pay off completely. I did get into the show first, and it’s hard to say why, exactly, but I think by cutting massive sections of the “let’s go for coffee/let’s go for yoga” humdrumness, and by adding in the backstories and goings-on of the other characters, it built a much more believable world than the book did.
