Yay!
Awe, I loved that chapter! It was definitely what I was hoping for when I finished Wolfsbane! I can’t wait to read the rest of Bloodrose now! Thanks for the chance to read that excerpt!
i love nightshade
I love love love this series! I find myself always coming back to these books! And i really hope Calla chooses Ren… Srry for the ppl tht like Shay Ren just has a sexy edge to him that i love! But shay just… Idk i just dnt like him AS much.. But i still like him… Haha cant wait for Bloodrose to come out!!!
Calla Tor is Taylor Swift?
please give me a break
OMG I though the same thing too when I saw this! The model on the cover looks just like her!
Chapter excerpts from upcoming books are an excellent idea. EW should do this more often.
I agree I am a 1st time author of a soon to be published real worl fiction called MY DOCTOR MY DRUG DEALER,and I would like to get some opinions from entertaiment wkly please let me know if your interested…I can email some chilling details from the book. It is going to open upo alot of cans of worms about drugs and doctors going to prison.
Having read the previous two books, I can say that this chapter is much sexier than anything that has come before. Also, very happy that Ren is back in full force. He was pretty much my favorite character and I missed him in wolfsbane – which i read as an ARC months ago.
Oh, so glad to see Ren back in the action. This chapter gave me the peace of mind I needed to survive until Bloodrose releases!
me too!
ditto! at the end of wolfsbane i was immediately on the web looking for a sneak peak and here it is!!!
Wow Sideline reporter/Novelist…Andrea Kramer is more talented than I ever knew! Must do most of her writing the off season. Can’t imagine she’d find time to do so during the NFL season.
I`m so glad Ren is back, I really hope she chooses him. I feel like Shay is a Shady character and I hope Calla starts making some better choices.
Same!! I started freaking out and got really excited in Wolfsbane when Adne said they were going to get Ren
I completely agree- Calla definitely needs to start thinking with her brain again. Soon. Being rash and impulsive is what got her into the incredibly tangled web she’s in.
And Ren has his flaws for sure, but he is still the superior choice over Shay, who is an immature, cocky and selfish little boy. Sorry to those who like him, but I can’t stand the guy=)
I loved it!!
Can’t wait for the book to come out, it’s a shame that we have to wait so long to see what happens next.
I hope Calla stays with Shay.
Love wolfbane and the first chapter of Bloodrose can’t wait till feb 2012
the girl calla is dianna agron
for reals?!
OMG!!!!! I don’t want to wait! I hope Calla and Ren stay together!! I’m thrilled!
ooohhh i love calla’s little romance with ren, but i really hope she stays with shay. he’s my favorite
Team Ren! I think he’s perfect for Calla. Always has her in mind. If I had a guy like that, win! You can see their cooenctinn instantly. Ren knows Calla should be with him, but is still trying to let her decide. He’s funny too, which I always look for. I’m always looking forward to one of his scenes.Viviendeadtossedwaves at gmail dot com
TEAM SHAY!!!!! Great excerpt! So excited and seriously cannot wait for Feb ’12 but I really hope she stays with Shay
Ren is urgh!
NOOOO!!! ren! she is to go with ren!! RENN!!!! shay is the “ugh” one!!!
I’m so torn over ren and Shay i don’t know who’s best
OMFG! Ren is my whole! I hope Calla chooses him. Shays is a jerk. I can feel something odd about him but i just can put my finger on it. When i finished Wolfsbane, i was like “Whaaaaaa…?” I was just so happy Calla had finally made a good decision through out the whole thing. It is her fault Ren had been even more confused. Now it was her job to fix what her selfishness had caused. I’m dying to read the rest of Bloodrose! Aaaah! The first chapter was just soo good.
my thoughts precisely. Shay was kinda cool but now he is soooo annoying, tell u the truth, I wish he dies. It would make everything so much easier!
Team Ren FOREVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
