We have come to the end of Devil's Punch by Ann Aguirre! And wow, when is the next book coming out!?! lol
Well, I don't want to say to much here as I don't want to start chatting away on you. Do join us in the comments and let us know what your thoughts are.
NOTE: There WILL be SPOILERS in the comments, and potentially in the questions.
So, to get us started on a few thoughts...
Robyn:
1.) Chance. Wow. I didn't see that coming. Do you think he's gone for good? They can communicate with him but will that be all? Could this open for her to be with Kel or someone new?
2.) What did you think of the father-daughter reunion?
3.) Is the Queen really dead? What would happen if Corine returned?
4.) What do you think the future holds for Corine?
Melissa:
1.) The favors Corine promised in Sheol, will she have to pay for them in the future?
2.) With all that rocked Sheol with Ninlil, do you think they will come after Corine?
3.) In the end the ruby flared with heat when talking to Chance. Why do you think it flared?
Do you have other ideas and thoughts? Mention them in the comments, we'll chat about the book with you.
I don't think we've seen the last of Sheol. Demons will come looking for her due to the Queen. She'll miss Chance and will probably go back to save him somehow.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking Corine is going to be on the hunt list for Demons too. :D I think they are going to come looking for her, and she might get drawn back there. If she gets drawn back there though, I think it will NOT be good. That will be so not good! All the demons will be against her then.
DeleteTo bring her back, I think it will have something to do with Chance. He'll communicate with her through the radio with Shannon.
DeleteI think you are right. I'll say I was pretty shaken up with the whole Chance thing. But we shall see. His body is still in Sheol.
DeleteYou never know though. Aguirre could be the one author who keeps the hero dead.
DeleteI really felt like the father-daughter reunion was short. I don't know. Maybe I wanted more.
ReplyDeleteYes, the father-daughter reunion was short. But that heart gem is going to be something. I think there is something with that! I really do. I wonder why it glowed when she contacted Chance.
DeleteI guess it glowed when she went through the fountain because part of the soul in it was reacting to the soul need. But then it glowed and heated with talking to Chance.
Soooo, I wonder if Shannon doing her thing was the reason of the glow! Hmmm, that could be the link. Maybe they will release her fathers soul and talk with him.
I do hope we get more with her father. I would love to know more. Why exactly did the demons come for her? Did they know about the queen at the time? Is there something else there?
DeleteI was actually kind of surprised the demons agreed to take her father rather than her. I had thought they would have been after the Queen, but it seems they just wanted his magic, or both. Thinking they would get her in Sheol at some point with their workings, and get his magic as well. Since the Solomon line of magic would be so strong. They'd open the gate and come for the Queen anyway.
DeleteIt would be nice to hear from her father through the radio too. Or maybe he is in the gem she wears. We will have to wait and see. :)
I really hope we do get more of her father. The radio would be a good way.
DeleteChance!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to mention him in his own comment, so we can chat on and on about him.
I cried! Oh I was so heart broken for Corine.
I knew there would be something terrible to happen to Chance. There was to much time spent in the beginning trying to build the relationship between him and Corine to let that go. We were being set up to be upset in the end. Truth, I didn't need all that build up, I am a Chance fan through and through.
I'm so glad his soul remains, with being a godling. But he HAS to come back some how!! HAS TOO! He can NOT stay a spirit. I want more with him and Corine. LOL!
I wonder if there is anything that could happen, to bring him back. Maybe his dad and godly family can get involved to help.
DO you think Aguirre will be daring and have him stay dead?
DeleteIt will be interesting to see what happens. If his soul is still there, that could be one of the reasons Corine comes back.
Robyn, truth be told. I don't know if Aguirre would do that. But I do think she very well could and very highly possible yes, she would. She is daring.
DeleteBut who is Corine meant for? Or is she really meant for no one?
It seems everyone sacrifices themself for her or die with her. I just hope Shannon is safe in all this.
I think it's going to depend on how many more books there are. Is Kel her destiny? Maybe it's still Chance. Or who knows if there are still plenty of books, maybe someone new. Although it would seem weird this late in the series. I guess anything is possible.
DeleteI wondered the exact same thing with Chance's death. Jesse is with Shannon, Chance is gone, will Corine be open to be with Kel?
ReplyDeleteBUT!! Would Kel take Corine now? She is tainted with evil and darkness. She has taken in the demon magic as she doesn't have her feel of pain that she had from her mothers magic.
I don't know if Kel would be okay with her now. Maybe he will show up again. Will he be sent to help her again?
I think we'll see Kel again. When? Not sure, but I think he'll try to save Corine. Beyond the evil, she is a good person. So he'll know there is still good in there somewhere. So hopefully he comes before she turns completely evil, haha.
DeleteI'm wondering how Kel will take to the darkness in Corine after being Queen for so long. It could possibly go really bad.
DeleteBut maybe he will have to come save her again, being sent. Or he'll have to come kill her. lol.
I definitely think we'll see Kel again. Will it be good or bad, who knows? I think it's going to depend on how the darkness controls Corine.
DeleteI've heard about this author in the blogosphere but somehow I've never picked up any of her work yet..
ReplyDeleteI love her work.
DeleteCherry, I've really enjoyed her works. And I love her Jax series as well. It's in Outerspace, but you don't have to be a scifi person to really understand it. She is amazing in her fast paced stories. I feel like I'm watching a movie when I read her books. Hope you give one of her series a try some day. :) Thank you!
