So, I stayed up late Friday night to finish Blood Promise. Although for quite a while I hadn't been entirely sure I liked where the story was going, at about the point in which I'd hit the end of my available time for reading the story was starting to shift so that I thought I would still be able to want to know what happened - to like the story itself. By the end I did like it - although I was suspicious that Rose hadn't completed the task with Dimitri after all. I was also glad that she was able to "get there" to help Lissa defeat Avery before everything got too out of hand. I'm also glad that the experience gave Rose the wisdom to accept Lissa's refusal to heal Dimitri earlier. However, I can tell that Rose is still seeking to try that. I'm intrigued to see how easily (or not) Rose will convince Lissa of the necessity of the next task she has in mind.
I have since started The Haunted Rectory by Katharine Valentine. This is another book I found while shelf reading at work. So far it's pretty good, but I'm only about thrity pages in so it's a bit hard to tell. It seems as if it will be a combination of a Catholic version of Jan Karon's Mitford series and a ghostly/demonic haunting/attack.
