Unlike some reviews/reactions I've read to BMR, I loved that we got to see past events woven into Fang and Aimee's story because, well, they were together from an early point so it makes sense to incorporate those stories.
I'm still crying over Maman and Papa Bear's deaths. Didn't see that coming at all.
And damn Savitar for his quick temper. I mean did he learn NOTHING from Acheron's "dealings" with Nick when Nick slept with Simi. Don't act out of anger...the consequences are hell to deal with, regardless of whether they happen directly to you or not.
And HOLY HELL THE DAIMONS CAN WALK IN THE DAYLIGHT!!! WTF?!?!

Yeah, I was hearing some complaints about the whole "retelling" but from a different POV. I didn't see it as that, I didn't know how far back Fang and Aimee went so it was nice to read how everything got started.
I also know there were complaints about the additional demon chasers and such being too much for one book, well part of what attracted me to this series was the complexity of the story line. I love that the romance isn't the main point of the books. I love all the involvement of gods and goddesses.
And I STILL can't get over maman and papa bear. I wonder if Savitar will blame himself.
And did you see on Sherri's site that Dev will be getting his own story next year?

I didn't see it as that, I didn't know how far back Fang and Aimee went so it was nice to read how everything got started.Exactly. I just thought that Fang and Aimee went back to when he and Vane were attacked by the Daimons and Vane brought them to Sanctuary. I had no idea they went back before that so it was interesting to see how they got started and how they dealt with the myriad of things between when they actually started and when we found out about them

Yeah Maman had some moments where I wanted to strangle her but having already lost children, I could understand why she was so protective and strict, especially with Aimee, being that she was the only daughter.
I wonder what will happen to Sanctuary now that it isn't going to be an "official" safehaven.
I'm curious about that whole bit about Aimee having goddess like powers. It's gotta be vital to a future storyline though.
Oh I'm a huge Stargate fan, I made icons some months back from some of the episodes, I gotta get back into that again, I have a bunch of episodes I haven't done.

I liked BMR on the whole but I think I'd have prefered for Fury and Lia to have a book and for Fang and Aimee to have the short story if only because I'm kind of curious about Bryani's people

Oh I want more Ash too. I wanna see how he's getting on now that he has Tory. It's a new chapter in his life and since he was so used to negative aspects, it would be nice to see him in a more positve and loving environment.
I just love the complexity of these books and how each character is somehow connected to everyone else.

I finished the book last night! I really liked it. I've been dying for this book since I found out about it. I love the Weres even more now.
I liked how it mixed in scenes from the other books and we saw things from a different POV.
There were a few times towards the end where I had to put the book down and stop for a moment. Especially when the fight broke out at Sanctuary.
And Maman and Papa Bear! ;_; I BAWLED over that and how the whole family gathered to comfort each other then pulled Fang into the mix. <3
I can't wait for Dev's book now! And I think I want to go back to the beginning and read all the books again then write down the info since it gets confusing after awhile! Like past histories, who was mixed up with who and what, etc.
And as much as Savitar pissed me off, I still adore him. AND I WANT HIS BOOK NOW. He needs one. And Jaden, too, but mostly Savitar.

To be 100% honest, I was really annoyed at Fang and Aimee when they first met. Their encounters were a bit....unrealistic. I mean, they were practically stalking each other until Fang fell into his comatose state. Thankfully, the next 200 hundred pages made up for the "poppping up in your room to give you back some random object" sequences

Finally finished BMR on MP3. (I'm also already halfway through the manga, it's just great!) I thoroughly enjoyed it. I definitely came out of there a Fang/Aimee fan. I was pretty sad about Maman and Papa though - what a shock. I hope that Sav at least regrets that since it was essentially his fault!
Very good story, although it had it's, "ummm" moments. Like, what was up with the scene where the waitress is baiting Aimee, saying that Fang was after her and bringing women to his room. Did I accidently skip forward and miss why that was included in the story in the first place?
I like Thorn and the Hellchasers and all the rest, it was all fun. It did, as someone above mentioned, take away from Fang and Aimee's story, but I really didn't mind because I read BMR for all the fun extras more than I read it because I was interested in Fang and Aimee's story. I'm with you guys in being glad it's not all about the romance, though pure romance can be awesome sometimes too.

My only real complaint is that it was too short. I felt like too much was left out. I'm sure that it's just setting up for more stories but there are certain parts I felt were rushed.
I can't wait to hear what you think about the manga though!
