Reflected in You (Crossfire, #2)Reflected in You by Sylvia Day
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

***BE WARNED!!  THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!****


Yeah.  Well.  I just don't know what to say.  With the way this ended, I don't know that I can accept it.  Does Gideon's actions finally make sense? Yes.  But the better question is, does it make up for the hell Eva has felt and lived through because of his actions?  I say no.  At least for me it doesn't.  I want to be like Eva and just be ok with him ignoring her for the most part, for running hot and cold with her, for being seen in public with his ex-fiancee and having everyone believe they'd gotten back together, including Eva herself.  I'm not.  And I'm mad.  Not just at Gideon for doing these things (for Eva's protection), but I'm mad at Eva for knowing, knowing, that she's falling back into her old self-destructive depressive patterns, and continuing to allow the little contact they had to continue to eat her up.   I'm mad at her for knowing she needed to break it off with Gideon for her mental and emotional health and then for giving into his cryptic words of "trust me" and "wait" while he ignores her.  I guess I'm stronger than I thought I was cause there is no way in hell that I would have allowed him to continue to stalk me the way he was and to confuse me the way he did.  Their relationship was fragile to begin with, I don't know if I can believe them getting past this hurt; even with her knowing he did it to protect her.  there would always be that nagging thought in the back of my head (and heaven knows it will always be in the back of Eva's).

The secret in Gideon's past was hinted at, and he finally gave her the details.  It was a whopper.  I have a feeling I know who did it to him.  I may be TOTALLY wrong, but from the way things were laid out, I'll be surprised if I am.  At least with him opening up and telling her about it, when they get back together Eva will know that he's willing to let her in more than he had.

Even with my ranting, I loved it.  When a book can make you fired up and ready to spit, it's got to be amazing!  I am looking forward to the next one to see how this chapter will affect their future.

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader.  I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public).  Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges.  In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain.  A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year.  Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog  http://www.bookchickcity.com/  and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Halloween's around the corner

So, I've been working on Hallween designs this week. What you see in the picture is a sneek peek of a set I'm listing next week for Bow*nified Designs Spooky Chic Halloween launch. I've got a OOAK skirt set almost finished and another set ready to cut out. Who'd have thought that I'd be working on Halloween stuff the very week the girls go back to school. I surely didn't. But I feel the need to keep up with what is selling :) And speaking of the girls going back to school this week...I've already subbed for 3 days! It's the first FULL week of school and teachers are missing days. CRAZY! However, I mustn't complain. This at least gets me in the classroom and schools so teachers won't forget me and the principals won't forget me so they can give me a job ;0)
