  1. So she replied to a fan on Twitter that it hasn't been a year since the last one came out (even though it's just 15 days shy) and mentioned some countries haven't received it yet. The website may say 2015 but imagine if she removed that! People would be really upset and really give up faith thinking it would never come out. I wonder if they are just going to drop the book on the shelves without promotion? I read that pre-sale numbers really only matter for first time authors to build revenue and she had a such a strong following that they may just release it without warning. Or we could still be talking about this in 2016 lol.

  2. It probably won't come out this year since there hasn't been an announcement. If we don't hear anything before the second week in November then it definitely isn't. I wonder what the delay is? Maybe something with the publisher. I remember reading that there was a series called black list or something that was supposed to come out this year after crossfire was finished. I really hope the book isn't tied up in legal stuff and never ends up being published. I have faith in Sylvia though. I do think its funny that a year ago we were thinking the 5th book would be following the 4th shortly and now its about 3 weeks till a year since the 4th one came out and nothing....

  3. CBY release date was announced Septmeber 6th.... I'm still holding out for November release, sometime before thanksgiving, but if it doesn't then probably not till 2016... It's been so long that I can't remember what story line I'm most excited to have resolved...

  4. It's hard to imagine all of these story lines will be tied up in this last book. I hope it's like 600 pages. I think the Corrine one will end up being just smoke and her not going through with the actual book. Or she does and nothing comes of it except press. Monica will be planning the wedding so it's not like that will take up many pages since Monica can never get ahold of Eva. The wedding will probably be a rundown like the elopement was, without any minor play by plays. The big focus of this book is Gideon's healing so it seems that would take precedent for face time over the fake wedding they are putting on for the families. I hope the book comes out in November! 

  5. I'm kinda Eva quit her job and her reply for doing so was "I have a wedding to plan". What happened to all the "gotta stay busy" and "I love work rush/highs"? She was such a determined character and then she just quits?? I know Mark is leaving, but helllllooooo she still has a job. What kind of 24 y/o wanting to make it in NYC (NYC for crying out loud!!!*cough cough* cutthroat world) quits their job just like that? That looks so, so bad on resumes! Her excuse of working for Gideon's competitors is out the window because she told Mark she couldn't work on the tech gaming stuff. I just don't get it. Now, if her job became heading up the Cross Industries charity stuff, that would make sense, but she is a 24 y/o straight out of college. What does she know about heading up charities? Since Sylvia says she doesn't write the characters, the characters tell her what to write, I don't feel mad getting so annoyed and ranting about this. If Eva were my friend I would fly up to NYC and tell her this myself, then steal her man, hehe.

  6. i totally agree with this! Maybe Elizabeth as Demi Moore and corrine as Natalie Portman. I see a little bit of Magdalena as MIla Kunis. I could see Mila being sassy in the girls bathroom. Luke Evans in Dracula looks soooooo much like Gideon, just a slightly older version. Especially in the final scene. I really don't see Henry Cavill as Gideon. He is very awkward in interviews and I saw a Woody Allen movie he was in and it was kinda hard to watch Henry's character. He rocked it in The Tudors though. Eva I am still thinking about, I honestly see her as myself lol. maybe thats why I disagree with everyone. Im about the same height and blonde, I'm also laughing at myself as I think that, so don't take me too seriously.

  7. Ladies,

     

    I have to disagree with some of your thoughts about Eva. From all we’ve seen on the first 3 books, Eva always says what she’s thinking, even when it’s hard for her. Remember the email she sent Gideon in RIY when she thought he was distancing himself? That was a powerful one. She loves Gideon madly, crazily, and constantly reassures him of that. And she tells him everything that happens to her or she’s thinking, like her feelings, her dreams, the stuff that happened in her job that day, that she was going out with her friends, that she was going to see Brett, that her parents were in love and had hook up, etc.

     

    On the other side, Gideon doesn’t talk to her much. He doesn’t tell her how his day was, he doesn’t talk about his emotions, he doesn’t talk much about this nightmares, he doesn’t talk about his friends, about his mother. Eva has to ask, almost beg, and even so, he doesn’t offer much information. Remember when he saw Magdalene on the street outside a restaurant, in BTY, and Eva had to find out through gossip sites? When Gideon went to Corrine’s home and Eva had to find out through Christopher? (Imagine if this had been the other way around?)When Gideon talked to Deanna then embarked on a plane to San Diego to solve the sex tape problem and Eva only found out much later? He may think these things don’t matter, and he’s trying to protect her, but the truth is it could’ve all been solved with a single text message. Before she learns the truth, she suffers a lot, and we, reading from her POV (previous books) feel that. We know how he’s crazy about her, but he also closes her off, and she reacts badly to that.

     

    I do believe this is going to be one of the crucial points of CBY: Gideon learning to tell Eva stuff, to lean on her, from the big to the small things. They can’t only talk about the deep stuff, they have to share the superficial too.

     

    That being said, as I mentioned yesterday, from the previous books, I hadn’t thought that Eva’s feelings for Brett were anything more than simple l*u*s*t, and, therefore, easy to be ignored when he wasn’t in front of her. I didn’t think – and still don’t think – there are any real feelings there. But, apparently, she needs closure. And Gideon also needs to close Corrine, because that woman is not going to stop. Both of them (Eva and Brett, Gideon and Corrine) should have serious conversations about how those relationships hurt their main relationship (Eva and Gideon), so they can’t even be friends.

     

    I feel like many times we, readers, mostly women, tend to like the male character, even with his flaws (maybe because of their flaws?), and to disregard the females characters. We want her to be perfect, but in the best books, she has flaws, because that’s how people are. I believe Eva is a bright light in the world of female characters in books (and in media, broadly speaking) because she is positive, focused, but she also has learnt how to deal with her problems, isn’t afraid to talk about them, and to look for a solution. 

     

    Edit: Wow. Reading that now, it's a big text.

     

     

    This is a really great post! Eva is a great communicator and hopefully while she is in SD we can see from her POV exactly what her feelings towards Brett are. Whether its , friendship or curiosity in the man he has tuned out to be. I want the Brett situation to be cleared up ASAP and why Gideon had bruises in that one snippet to be answered. 

  8. I don't think Eva's conflicted feelings have anything to do with romantic feelings for Brett. I think she meant to tell Gideon that her friendship with Brett would be harder to cut off then she once thought. Also, she could be thinking "I know I'm gonna flirt with him, better tell Gideon before he jumps to conclusions." Flirting can be done without any motive to go further physically.

    On Eva not telling her mother about the engagement, I think she did it on purpose as a way to get back at her for Monica tracking her whereabouts. Eva might be taking having a life separate from her mother to an extreme. And if she knew Gideon was going to confirm speculation that day, she would have told her right away instead of waiting a couple days.

    We also have to keep in mind that Eva is only 24 and this relationship is became really intense really fast. Even if someone is more mature in many ways compared to other their age, 24 is still really really young. If she is having conflicting feelings, I don't blame her. She knows she would never leave Gideon and their marriage is a safe place, so her conflicting feelings of flirting with Brett or still staying friends might not seem like a danger to her. Corrine does not just was friendship from Gideon, so there is more of a threat there.

    One last thing, we don't know Brett's feelings on the sex tape. He was probably just as clueless as Eva so we can't assume she should be mad at him about it.

  9. I will have to keep myself busy these next week so I do not get too impatient lol. I wonder if the baby isn't actually Carry's. Sylvia mentioning that in the video makes me doubt carry being the father a little bit. I don't think Gideon and Eva will have a baby in these next two books, either. I bet its in the epilogue, though. Things in this book I bet we will find out are Megumi's whereabouts, what Chris did in the past to take sibling rivalry to an extreme and a few more clues about  Nathan's cover up. If this book answered all the questions, there would be no time for all the other good stuff.

  10. I bet she will release the first chapter, two moments from that we have already seen, before the release date. It's so close!

     

    I'm still really interested in why Gideon has all those bruises on him. Also, I don't think the photo teasers are exact representation of what will be happening in the chapter. The fighters in the cage could just mean there is a fight between two people. Maybe Gideon and Eva get into an argument about moving to Gideon's company. Maybe Chris and Gideon get into an argument, or even Eva and Corrine. Corrine and Eva could finally have their face to face showdown. 

  11. Hi IIurvegc, I agree with your train of thought. I am re-reading the series again & have just passed the section of the book you refer to. His temper, the angry music, etc in some way must be about Eva & a man. Maybe while in San Diego more info came out about Eva & Brett's past. Gideon is just as jealous as Eva. As for the bruises, haven't figured that one out yet.

    ahhh yes, the mention of the prior text gives a hint that it isn't a night terror situation. What could it be that he is ashamed of though? I'm thinking it's something to do with his anger getting the best of him, but I also think Eva is somewhat clueless as to what happened between the text messages and that moment in the apartment. Also, I think I am gonna be annoyed when he goes to San Diego behind Eva's back. Unless it has to do with keeping the sex tape from coming out, that would be a valid reason, but I would be annoyed if it was because he doubted Brett being in proximity to Eva. I agree with Sylvia on Eva needing to let Carrie know about the marriage on a trip away from NY.

     

    How log do you think it will take to devour the book? I'm gonna guess two and a half hours to speed read it at midnight on my computer or iPad and then take my time the next day when I go pick up the paper back from my bookstore.  So excited! But also kind bumped there will be a long wait till the story is all tied up.

  12. What if the bruises Gideon has from that teaser were from Eva? What if they were asleep together and he attacked her again ? Maybe she fought him off pretty hard . That could be why he's so upset and angry . Just a thought :)

    Brett better not be making any problems ... And Eva should not be anywhere near him anymore...ever :(

    This is a really good train of thought! it would make a lot of sense why he says "its dangerous for you to be here.."

  13. I've been thinking about that snippet Sylvia posted where Gideon has bruises and he is playing angry rock music, and I'm gonna bet that whatever happened was in some small part Eva's fault. I don't mean because she cheated on him and he beat someone up though. In EWY Gideon said he wasn't previously known to have a temper when Deanna tried to make it into a headline, but Eva retorted with he wasn't known to have one until she came around. All of his actions due to anger so far in the series have had to do in some part with Eva.   Her words in the scene make me think he is ashamed of what he did as well. Less than a month till we find out what actually happened though!! 

  14. So I was looking at Sylvia's twitter feed and saw this:

    . I love them all, but holds a special place. it was good to see them happy with each other.

    — Sylvia Day • Author (@SylDay)

     

    She says EWY has a special place in her heart because they are happy with each other in that one... sounds ominous. I think the next couple of books are gonna be rough. Bouncing back and fourth between Gideon's apartment, Eva's apartment and the one next door to Eva's is getting confusing. Also, I found it really creepy that Gideon merged his stuff and Eva's stuff for the apartment, as well as the safe room at his place that is exactly like Eva's. But then I remembered that Gideon is really intense in pretty much everything and has no idea on how to be in a relationship so he gets a pass on the creepy boyfriend issue.
