Bring on the Night spoiler-rific discussion!!

Bring On the Night (WVMP, Book 3)



This is a discussion for Bring on the Night by Jeri Smith-Ready.

 We are discussing the "BIG EVENT"

DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU HAVEN"T ALREADY READ THE BOOK!!

SPOILERS*********SPOILERS*********SPOILERS*********SPOILERS*********SPOILERS

THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!!

Here's what I think to start the discussion off.........

*I LOVED that Ciara turned! I can't think of anything that would be more game changing for the character of Ciara, for her relationship with Shane and for the series itself. It makes Ciara have to face a lot of thing about herself - she can't run from this - ever, she has to rely on other people - forever. It was one thing for her to choose to stay with Shane and the station - she loves him and they are like a family to her but I think Caira always felt in the back of her mind that she could leave. No more. Ciara doesn't like feeling trapped so there is no better storyline than this to challenge her.

*I also like how it brings the other vampires at the station into focus. They were bit players in the storyline before but now they all have roles to play. Regina to help her - as a fellow female vampire (I love their scenes together & how that contradicts with both of their relationships to Shane). Monroe - that bond will always be there and I enjoyed reading more about this elusive vampire and Jim - oh boy....that should be interesting.

*I think my favorite thing though is the effect on Shane & Ciara's relationship. They made it through the initial phase. I loved that Shane was with her when it happened despite how he felt. I was telling a friend that they are my favorite couple because the "love fiercely". They both have options but choose to fight to be together over & over again when honestly they could have easier relationships with other people.

*I'm almost more interested in seeing what happens to Shane as the series continues than Ciara. I think she can handle it. It won't be easy but she's tough. Shane is being forced to become someone different than he is. He is selling his soul piece by piece to keep Ciara safe (and yes, I think Shane has a soul). Joining the Control is either going to make or break him I think.

* Religion - this is a huge part of this book! I don't even know where to begin. Do you think Caira's non - belief is a form of religion itself? She is becoming the healer that her con artist parents pretended to be - to vampires anyway. We also get to see how the other vampires view their "souls". Monroe and the others are shaken because they believe Ciara went to heaven and they brought her back. How could she go to heaven if she doesn't believe? and what's so special about Shane's voice that brings her back? Am I reading too much into the whole thing? (as I tend to do in Jeri's books....lol)

So...........what did you think?

What would you like to see happen next in Let it Bleed??

Review policy and contact information

REVIEW POLICY:

I accept review requests for the following genres:
*YA of any genre
*Urban Fantasy
*Romance - Paranormal. Chick lit, and contemporary romance with a good dose of humor are my preferences occasionally some Historical Romance.
* I (as a general rule - there have been a few exceptions) don't enjoy fantasy or erotica.

NO non-fiction requests please.

Formats:
I accept both paper books and ebooks. My preference is either .pdf's or hardcopy.

Posting reviews:
All reviews are posted on my blog, Goodreads. (Amazon by request)

Review Requests: PLEASE READ!
Email me at fwiw.kea@gmail.com with any requests to read/review your book.
Please include a brief description/cover and website/Goodreads/Amazon links if applicable.

DO NOT ATTACH AN UNSOLICITED FILE OF YOUR BOOK - I will hit delete!

**PLEASE READ FIRST! 
If I accept your book for review I reserve the right to not write a review. If I do agree to review your book it will be an honest review - either positive or negative. I will try to post the review in a timely fashion but I have an ever growing TBR pile to read/review so I can't guarantee a specific time frame for posting your review.

*Note: My review pile over-floweth. In my best Scotty impression....I'm reading as fast as I can Captain! There is unfortunately no way I can read and review that volume of books plus read for pleasure so I have become very selective in which books I accept for review. 

If I do accept your book for review there is currently a 2-3 month wait time before I can read/review your book. 

I try to respond to all review requests but sadly I'm falling behind on that too.
