I also loved Mikey and he does reincarnate at the end of this book. Since you DNF I figured I could just tell you. So I'm assuming he will come back in the second book which I haven't had a chance to read. I like reincarnation but the thing I didn't like about this was that we didn't know why she erased her memories and then everyone treated her badly for it. I did love the idea of all these people sticking together and coming together over and over. The beginning was slow so I completely understand the DNF. It took me awhile to get into it.

I liked the synopsis and the cover. But we can't like everything. I've changed my idea about doing DNF's and negative reviews. If I want to be honest, I should include those.BURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-49708474557779385392013-08-22T18:42:44.229-04:002013-08-22T18:42:44.229-04:00Ha!
