Is this going to be a series or a trilogy?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Because books.
Glass Heart follows it, but that's it.

Oh, that's it? It's just a duology? Those are becoming a thing these days! I like it! It's sort of the perfect balance between "Man, this book is great, and I would like more" and "Holy crap, how many books have I committed to with this thing..."

You'd be surprised how many readers were excited to think it was a stand-alone.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Ha! I admit, as a reviewer, I do get kind of excited when a teen book (especially one with fantasy or paranormal elements) is NOT a trilogy.

I would not. Man, am I tired of EVERYTHING being a series. Can't I just read one book and be DONE?? I have so many other books to read dammit.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I was kind of angry that Sunshine by Robin McKinley did not have a sequel. I intellectually understand her explanation, but it doesn't make much sense to me. She did a lot of world-building with that book, she can't come up with a sequel?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
"you've got a dark horse, you've got a cold kiss..." is stuck in my head again!
I am a little disappointed that there is not a third book, but I haven't read the second yet because I liked the first so much. I don't like things to end.

Psst, I think it's dark HEART. Not that I can talk. Ask Cass how I mangled Kane lyrics one time.
Cold Kiss was conceived as a single book, so writing Glass Heart was sort of a challenge. I'd like to go back one day and revisit some of the other characters, or explore Wren's family history, but I think I'm happy with where I left Wren herself.

On the one hand, weird to write a sequel to a book you didn't intend to write a sequel to. On the other hand, nice that they wanted you to!
