"The dark room was the worst part of the bunker. Nothing penetrated it. Not light. Not sound. Nothing. There was only a blackness so overpowering it felt like it would crush you. It felt like it would pour through your nose and your mouth and your eyes and drown you." p 71*

This week's topic is: Top Ten Secondary/Minor Characters Who Deserve More Love 

*in no particular order

10. PIPPA--we all know that's coming SOON!
9. LISSA--I mean I know she was secondary in some sense and kind of held Rose back at times but I wouldn't have minded one book for her!
8. CASSANDRA--she was meant to have a book at one point I think, but the series went in another direction. I would've loved at least one book for Cass.

7. ANSEL--I haven't received either of my book box copies of Gods & Monsters yet, so no spoilers on this one please! But yeah, I felt like Ansel deserved a little more.
6. KATIE--she came late into the game, but I'd always hoped for more for her! Though I *think* she might be in Hex on the Beach, so more reason to get to that one asap!
5. CASSIUS--my memory of him was brief, that he wasn't really in the store for long since he was so mysterious. I wouldn't really call him secondary, but he definitely needed a little more spotlight!

4. ARI & JANCO--I love these two from this series! I totally think they needed their own book! If memory serves Ari and Janco both got a little more page time in some serial novellas, but it's been so long since I read them, plus they just need more overall! Lol.
3. DEE--I kind of feel like Dee might have needed more page time too. I can only vaguely recall her end of the series...but I feel like she deserved more too.
2. TAWNY--she wasn't around much for the first book but I feel like she needs more page time too! Or that there could be more to her story! Again, no spoilers for the third book as I still need to read that one! I'm almost caught up! Lol.

1. THE FATES--we got Jacks his own book of course, but I feel like there's potential with the other Fates too.
