I thought that is what you were talking about when you said a spoiler.
OMG indeed.
I am not going to be happy if that situation doesn't resolve itself by some feat of magic.

No, a few lines that indicated the answer to that question were up around July or something.
Aww, Barrons, look at you! Ya done turned into a woobie! This is the longest any of my fictional obsessions has ever remained in play before becoming woobified. The longer they resist letting us see their manpain the more delicious it is. It's no fun at all taking care of someone who follows you around asking for it. He has to resist it all manly like and you have to be the only one to penetrate the armor and all that business. Thanks Barrons!
Now please wake up and say "cock" some more.

Where can I find a recap of Dreamfever (???)....
I need to Cliff's Notes a bit before I dive into Shadowfever...
ETA--couldn't even remember the freaking name of the last book. I am a premature senior citizen

I went to check if my bookstore would have it in tomorrow and she said they could order it for me 
So I kicked her in the shin, screamed "I need me some fae lovin"!!" and stormed out.
O.k.. so not really, but I will be going to another store that realizes the importance of having the book available the second they open tomorrow

Unseelie gang rape, 40 pages of boning Barrons, Ryodan seemingly creeping on Dani, see Dreamy-eyed guy tending bar and he is weird, Lord Master holding parents hostage, through the Silvers to rescue them, get trapped, find Christian, lose Christian, get attacked by a wild boar, use IYD, IYD is a big demon thing that protects, Ryodan comes along to retrieve, IYD attacks him, IYD goes down to the Spear and after dying morphs into someone, Mac loses her shit, the end.
Oh and some of those random vision thing from Barrons' head where he's maybe murdering and raping people and also is possibly a dragon or a djinn or a dragon djinn.
Also he says cock. Vital. Not sure why it's so attractive when he talks about his erections. I've certainly never found it nearly so charming when guys do it IRL.

Good Morning. Lady did you get your download at midnight? I woke this morning to see mine is there! Work is slow right now, I have on appointment at 9. I will be in my little office staring at my BlackBerry.
Meta if you have a BlackBerry, Droid or Iphone you can get a reader app to get the book instantly, you can also download it to your computer. The ereader I downloaded from Barnes and Noble. Its perfect for me because I live in a rural area and the closest bookstore is almost 40 minutes away.
Happy reading ladies!

So things got so Byzantine that I finally had to give up on my "skim through to find some Barrons sex that *actually completes*" strategy an hour ago so I could shower to come to work.
She's certainly familiar with her own message boards, I'll give that to her. There comes a point though when I think you have to stop fencing with your fangirls. You could give 100 fixated monkeys a book series and five years and they will come up with anything you can come up with alone in the same time, unless you're not playing fair as a writer. It's like with Lindelof and Cuse. So what if the entire internet guessed the Island was Purgatory back in Season 1? If no one guesses what's going on in your stuff you have no fans to speak of. Stick with your plans.
I'm not saying I'm not enjoying it. Just, you do not have to cover *every possible theory* any fangirl ever launched. You can't, fangirls can't be defeated, they always win. That's why we run fandom.
Now I'm going to see if the mass nerfing IT did to our laptops in early December will prevent me from installing Kindle PC here. If not I think I feel a sudden flu coming on.

I almost panicked this morning I got to work, after my first client I tried to download the book and got a message that it failed because it was not available for my device! WHAT, I have all the books in the series and a bunch of other books. on my device!
So I downloaded the Ereader on my work computer.

It's not that I'm not happy with it but still shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
Now to go back and read the stuff I skimmed.

Jesus lord, sex scenes with Barrons in them are the best sex scenes ever written. I feel kind of weird reading this while surrounded exclusively by dudes but I *must*.

Mail man just delivered Shadowfever.
Thing is I'm just finishing Bloodfever, so I guess I better get busy reading.
Sun is shinning out I go.
In life, much of what one grieves one never had.

This is far more manpain than I wanted for him. Woobie. 
I hope that someday I can create for the ladies a male character with a tenth of this awesomeness. I probably can't, this has defeated my aspirations. Not as a writer, but as a designer of men. I can't design a better man than this. I have long believed that I had the potential to design and develop the best. man. ever. I cannot improve upon this model. And I'm a motherfucker with AutoCAD.
I wouldn't even give him a more consistent speaking voice, the weird mashup of speaking styles actually makes sense. He's code-switching.

Chapter 8 was when I let out a little squeal, actually. I really wanted to see that POV.
