Name of story: The Other Side Of Nick Carter

1) What was the biggest challenge for you when reading this story?
Biggest challenge was to read a whole Nick - centered story. Usually, I can get through a story that has Nick as main character only if he interacts a lot with Brian. So, yes, that was the biggest challange.

2) Did you find yourself looking forward to reading as you were going along or did it feel like homework?
Yes and no. Yes, it felt like homework because I had to push myself into reading because of Nick. But, whenever I started a chapter, I found myself keep reading because I liked the plotline and I wanted to know what was going to happen.

3) What was your favorite scene/chapter in the story?
I'm a sucker for children's chapter so I have to go with Grace's story.

4) Was your favorite character at the halfway point still your favorite at the end?
Yes, in the sense that I didn't want to kill Nick and make Brian the main character. LOL Actually, my love for Micheal kinda grew. I love villains and Ritz has done a wonderful job with his backstory that I felt for him.

5) Who was your least favorite character and why?
I guess Kate. lol And good thing that she died! lol

6) If there was a sequel to this story would you be interested in reading it?
If Ritz intents to keep writing I'll keep reading. Since she hasn't finished yet, I don't how if she's already planning for a sequel or not.

7) Were you happy with the ending?
It's not complete so... not happy? lol I'm not happy that it's not finished, I wanted to read the epic battle between Nick and Micheal. (if it's going to happen)

8) Name the biggest surprise in the story and did you see it coming? (If there was one)
The biggest surprise was finding out that the "past" chapters were actually Nick telling and explaining Brian about his gift.

9) What was this stories biggest strength?
The background stories for the ghosts.

10) What was it's biggest weakness?
Lack of descriptions. But I'm a lover of descriptions.

11) Did reading this story make you want to try another one from this author?
Definetely yes.

12) Give us one final review that sums up your experience reading this, maybe explain why you gave the kind of feedback you did or if you would have perhaps picked a different story from this one?
I'm glad I picked up this story. Otherwise I wouldn't ever read it or keep reading it because too much Nick for my taste.

13) Did you prefer the way we did the challenge this year or did you like the pairings better?
I liked this way.

14) Did the author respond to your feedback?
Yes, she did.

15) Any final thoughts or questions for the author?
I do hope that you're gonna finish it because I want to know how it will end.  :)

Happy Saturday everyone!

I can't believe it's the last Saturday of July already, BOO!!

Great job to Cinzia and Tracy for finishing up the challenge this week! Gold stars abound! :)

This now only leave Ritz and Erika who need to complete this challenge.

Ritz you only have 3 more chapters to go of your story and Erika you have about 46. The good news is you have all the way until the end of August to do it!

Keep reading and I'll check back next Saturday!

Name of story: When we Collide by Carter-Orange

1) What was the biggest challenge for you when reading this story? The female lead's name. Honestly, I wanted to close the story right away when I saw the name. But since this is a reading challenge and I know Steph writes great story, I gave it a chance. :)

2) Did you find yourself looking forward to reading as you were going along or did it feel like homework? If I had the time, I would have finished it in one sitting considering it only have 21 chapters. I look forward to reading it .

3) What was your favorite scene/chapter in the story? The teasing scenes. lol And the Nick Carter Ice cream sundae. That's just wow. It shows how versatile Steph is as a writer.

4) Was your favorite character at the halfway point still your favorite at the end? Of course Nick. He was an asshole but Steph did a great job by telling his backstory in the early part of the story, it made you understand the character when he was being a jerk.

5) Who was your least favorite character and why? Oops I think my answer to the number 4 question should be written here in number 5 and my answer to number 4 should be a plain yes. lol

6) If there was a sequel to this story would you be interested in reading it? yes. But I don't think there would be unless Steph would write about their marriage life and kids.

7) Were you happy with the ending? Yes. It was a happy ending but I felt Steph could have wrote a few chapters more before ending. The reconciliation was too quick. I had a feeling the story shouldn't end yet but Steph had to end it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Steph.

8) Name the biggest surprise in the story and did you see it coming? (If there was one) The teasing scenes. As I've told steph the romance plot about the mean boss and his staff has been written a lot before but Steph made this unique and interesting because of the way Miss Bloom ( I still cant write the name lol) and Nick teases each other... sexually.

9) What was this stories biggest strength? The unique way of how it was written. Steph could write a whole chapter of narration but it is not boring at all. She's gifted like that. :)

10) What was it's biggest weakness? The quick ending. I really wish it was not ended that quickly. I wish she wrote how the make-up sex happened. lol

11) Did reading this story make you want to try another one from this author? Definitely

12) Give us one final review that sums up your experience reading this, maybe explain why you gave the kind of feedback you did or if you would have perhaps picked a different story from this one? I had a great time reading this story. Steph delivered more than what I expected.

13) Did you prefer the way we did the challenge this year or did you like the pairings better? Actually, I don't mind how we will do it as long as there would be reading challenges every year. :)

14) Did the author respond to your feedback? Yes!

15) Any final thoughts or questions for the author? Was the ending the way you really planned it? I really felt that you had ended it quickly and there are some missing chapters between chapter 20 and the epilogue.
