'Omen Of Ice' Book Club Readalong Day 6!

Amber and I are BACK this September for a fun new readalong! We're about to start our monthly discussion for our August YA book, Omen Of Ice by Jus Accardo!

As a reminder, from now on, our monthly discussions will be both here on the OwlCrate blog AND on The Nest! Go check out Amber's discussion that will be full of fun extras like bookish charades, shelf scavenger hunts and coloring pages!

On each day we'll read a section of Omen Of Ice, both on the blog and in The Nest's group, and then discuss in the comments our theories and predictions. This means there will be spoilers for each section! Beware! 

Just a reminder that this will be a SPOILER discussion for chapters 26-30 of Omen Of Ice, so make sure you read or are finished this section before continuing.

The kelpie is my current fav character. I stand by this. Daroose is awesome.

Chapter Thirty (Valen):

Suddenly the fae burst through and shout at their group not to move. They ask Valen to return to the estate with him  and he refuses. Delkin becomes primally angry and Keltania suggests that the group leaves to tell Orbik that no harm will come to Valen if they leave them alone.
