How much training time do we have before the next Melusine drinking game begins?
At home with a good book and the cat...

It might be wise to join AA before the book comes out. I for one will probably need it.

Beautiful cover - much better than the last one!
I kind of liked the Melusine thread. Although I'm a sucker for witchy, watery legends.

I love the cover. I haven't read The Red Queen yet!

This is a stunning, stunning cover. I would buy the book for the cover alone - I expect a lot of people will. I even think (Melusine notwithstanding) that this might be a better book than the more recent ones, because I get the feeling it's a book closer to the heart.

You aren't missing anything. Trust me!
I agree the cover is breathtaking and I love it. The best one so far. I'm a little nervous about the book though...and therefore will get this one at the library. I dont trust Gregroy's writing style anymore.
