"This Dark Descent" Readalong Day 2

As a reminder, our interactive monthly discussions will be 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, Amber and the mods will read a section of This Dark Descent   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, today will be a SPOILER filled reaction for chapters 7-12  of This Dark Descent, so make sure you're finished before checking out the blog and the discussion group!
 

• There's something about the word “undulating” that I find uncomfy. Even if it's about flowers. 
   
• Ah here's where I'm supposed to like Reid as much as I like Damien. I shall not be dissuaded. 
   
• He is awkwardly uncharming. Is uncharming a word? It is now. 
   
• Um can I go to the Adair stables and choose whatever horse I'd like to ride?
   
• I always appreciate how thrilling racing a horse seems in a novel because in real life, it tends to go more sideways. 
   
• Oooh the Illiniar is FOUR races? 
   
• I'd be concerned too if I couldn't see the horse my enchanter was working on. 
   
• Oh no there are Anthir in the manor. Not sure what they are but they sound bad. 

• Well, Ari, I hear you but sometimes you gotta crack some heads like some eggs.
   
• Though I'll be honest, I'm 10% less for Damien in this very moment. 
   
• 10% more team Ari. Girl.
   
• Ah the Anthir are there because of those dudes Damien kidnapped. LOL how are you getting out of that one. 
   
• Ah yes, lying. I might have known. 
   
• Ope he's almost caught but Ari saves him. Team Damari!
   
• Yea Damien has some serious Kaz energy. So threatening. 
   
• Oh to be a fly on the wall of this group of Four Of Horses. All that sass in one space. 
   
• LOL Damien lying xD Of course he was the one behind it, Kira. Geez. 
   
• “People can't just take people off the street”. Yes they can, it's called kidnapping, babes. 
   
• Oh there's the “touch her and die energy" we are here for,  thanks Damien. 
   
• Reid seems a little wound tight. Kira should be able to help him with that. Dirt on the floors - heaven forbid. 
   
• I would like my own office full of gemstones, ty. 
   
• Wow the Enderlish are jerks. 
• Oh wow way to end that chapter on a less than flirty level. So sad!
