BEST. EPISODE. EVER. 'Desecrated' is so slashy it's ridiculous - I haven't seen this much blatant subtext since XWP. You'll want to watch C/K's moments in the tombs many, many times :)
"...I'm refusing to read the latest Hollows after reading the dismal lack of Ivy so I'll see if this will fill the void (as if...)"
You made a VERY wise choice. I waited 3 weeks for the library's copy and had to talk myself into reading it after seeing all the bad reviews. Needless to say, KH took the last chance I gave her to redeem herself and shot it all to hell. I opine 'twas the presence of the thrice be-damned braggart Pierce that rightly doomed this tome to a place of wretchedness and misery. grrrr...It was beyond frustrating to have to deal with him throughout the whole book because in the beginning, KH had me believing she had redeemed Rachel's character, with Rachel supposedly coming to the realization that she shouldn't be with Pierce - he was too impulsive, a bad influence, yadda yadda. I was cheering inside that finally, finally! Rachel was starting to grow up and realize that she should ditch the badboys and settle down in a steady, loving relationship with the soulmate that she's been living next to for the last several years, but instead, Ivy gets kicked to the sidelines and it's all about the resurrected ghost. Needless to say, there is a point in the book that I wanted to dump bleach in my brain and burn the images away, but the only solution is to flip very very fast through that section. I have come to the conclusion that Ravy is no longer a feasible endgame and I shan't waste anymore time with KH's drivel.
