Shadow of Night

SPOILER ALERT: Don't read unless you have read Chapter 1 in Shadow of Night.


One chapter down...lorddddddd knows how many to go.  I want to warn you all that this is going to be a slowwwww process for me to get through this book.  I forgot how intense DH's writing is...which means I will not be able to read while my 7 year old is sitting next to me, playing his 3DS.  I need quiet and I need time...two things that aren't always easy to come by in my house.

I had planned on reading this morning for 3 hours (shhh...don't tell my husband)  but my daughter broke her glasses and a hunt for Krazy Glue ensued...followed by a terrible dry run with Gorrilla glue...followed by a trip to CVS for the actual Krazy glue...followed by a trip back to school and a long conversation with a teacher.  And THEN I had a phonecall when I got back to solidify plans for tonight's showing of Magic Mike.

My life is a never ending ball of fun.

Now...on to Shadow of Night:

See?  Even Matthew
looks frustrated!

SHIT!!!  I'm right back to where I was at the end of A Discovery of Witches....which is "PLEASE JUMP EACH OTHER'S BONES BEFORE I LOSE IT".  It's not so much the non-sex as it is the non-intimacy.  My God - he's the hottest, smartest, richest MANPIRE on the planet!  I would not be able to keep my hands off him!  And OH my God - NOW they are in the most ROMANTIC setting EVER...16th century Elizabethan England...with the crackling fire and the four poster bed with curtains that close around you whilst you're gettin' busy with your older-than-dirt Manpire.  Only they're NOT gettin' busy because there are fifty million pompous ASSES flitting about and interrupting them right there in the sack!

This book is causing me to have a NEED to google Marlowe, though...who I canna help but envision as Rupert Everett as he played Christopher Marlowe in Shakespeare in Love.

And what's bugging me the most IS that need to google him as HE is the one who I find MOST annoying!!  And My hottie pattotie MANPIRE is getting on my nerves for not throwing his ass the hell OUT.  But - I guess he's trying to lie low so no one suspects anything...like the fact that they've traveled from 5 centuries in the future.

Who I am finding intriguing?  Francoise.  I know, I know...probably a nothing character.  But maybe not.  I think she is going to be quite the confidant to Diana and I think she's well ahead of the game as far as what it going on with Matthew and D.  We shall have to wait and see now, won't we?

PS - PLEASE do not refer to Matthew as Matt.  I saw that last night and wanted to hurl something at someone.  He's way above that nickname.  No Manpire of mine is going to go by anything but his full name, damnit!  ;)
