My Review
I saw this in the library and first of all thought it was a gorgeous cover, I looked at it and read the blurb and was curious. I read Passion yesterday as I knew this one came after it and then went straight on to this one.
This is a book of short stories showing the romance/love story of some of the different characters, namely Shelby & Miles, Arriane, Roland, Luce & Daniel. It takes place I would guess about 2/3 of the way through Passion.
I really enjoyed the short stories, it was a real look into their lives and let you see another side of them. The story of Shelby and Miles was probably my favourite, but Arriane's was the most sensitive/emotional.
Each story is set during a Valentines Day in Medieval England and they each lead to the next one, so it still feels like a progression through the story.
This is probably my favourite in the series so far as it digs a little deeper. I really enjoyed it and wanted to know more about the characters and what happens next. I think some of them will feature in the next book 'Rapture'. This copy also has the first chapter from Rapture in it - just enough to make you want more. I don't normally read taster chapters as they just annoy me because I know it will just make me want more and I can't have it, but with this one for some reason I couldn't resist and I read it. Boy I wish I hadn't as I really do want more now.
For fans of the series this is a must, or even if you are looking for some sweet romance/budding love stories then this would be a great read.

I was looking forward to this book before and now I'm even more excited. I'm actually looking at it right now. I will start it today. I know what you mean about reading the sneak peeks. I tell myself I won't do it and then I do it and wish I hadn't because I still have to wait.
Have you read Delirium? I just got done reading Hana (available for free online through MTV) and it was really good. Also a sneak peak for Pandemonium, which I read.
Glad you're excited, I hope you enjoy it.
they are very tempting but so annoying at the same time, it's like someone letting you smell a giant chocolate cake then not letting you eat any of it.
I have read Delirium, I thought it was OK, I'm curious about Pandemonium, i'll probably get it out of the library. I'll have to see if I can get a copy of Hana to try. :D

Thanks Celeste. Much appreciated. :D
