You know I’m getting a lot of e-mails telling me which team my readers are on. Team Derek or Team Lucas. I have to tell you that when I get one of these e-mails, I always feel sorry for the guy who isn’t chosen. I’ve really written myself in a corner on this one. Why? Because I really do like both guys. And both guys really like Kylie. I know some of you readers don’t believe me, but I seriously don’t know which one Kylie will end up with. However, since I’m working on book four, I’m going to have to start figuring it out.
Both Derek and Lucas have a lot to offer Kylie. Both care a lot about her. And both are very cute! So let’s take a closer look:
Derek is Fae, can control peoples’ emotions, can erase memories, is sweet, respectful, but reminds Kylie of her old boyfriend (although maybe not so much anymore since she has gotten to know him). Socks likes him. He also saved Kylie from getting eaten by a lion. And did I mention he is hot, as in hotter than a Texas summer?
Lucas is a werewolf, but that only happens when the moon is full. He’s protective of Kylie, and he gave her Socks to make amends for the cat she lost. Socks hates him (but that’s only because he’s a werewolf). He has a psycho friend, Fredericka, an old girlfriend, who would like to eat Kylie for breakfast. But he also risked his life to save Kylie when she was kidnapped. And he is off the charts on the hot meter!
So, how about a little help. Don’t just tell me who you want Kylie to end up with, tell me why? Why is Lucas a better man for Kylie? Or why would Derek make the better choice?
I prefer Lucas
And why?
Well, my first reason is going to make feminists all over the world hate me, but I like that’s he’s so potective of Kylie, it shows that he cares a lot. Plus he’s a werewolf and protecting her is also kind of marking her as his and I think that’s realy cute/hot/flattering.
I also like the way he interacts with Kylie, he acts as a boyfriend, while Derek and Kylie -at least ot me it seems this way- have acted more as friends -ok, ok I know they kissed and whatnot, but I still think that it was more of the best-friends-awkward-time-together-thinking-they’re-more-than-friends thing.
I feel that Lucas understands Kylie better – even though he can’t read her emotions.
Derek gave Kylie up, I know he’s “giving her distance so she can sort out her feelings” but to me it seems as giving her up. Lucas left, yes, but before he left and when he came back -hell, even when he was gone- he was fighting for Kylie. He never abandoned her.
Plus, I think ithat Kylie can’t completely get over her feelings for Lucas and if she was to end up with Derek I think her emotions would just keep on hurting him. It also freaks me out. I wouldn’t want a boyfriend thatcan feel every damn thing I feel.
To the problems with Lucas:
I think that socks could get used to him. mean we have cats and dogs and after like a month or two of being near eachother they’ve learned to not ony tolerate, but love each other. The dogs & cats LOVE cuddling with each other.
The whole Frederica deal can be dealt with, I’m sure. She can’t stay jealou/mad forever. Maybe a cute guy will come along that will make her forget all about Kylie and Lucas?
And as for the “werewolf” problem… I don’t think that’s a problem at all.
Well, this comment has gotten pretty long…
P.S. Have you named the 4. book, yet?
Team Lucas!!!!
Why would you want to be with someone who could manipulate your feelings? While Derek is an honorable character, it would still make you wonder constantly!
I agree a lot with wendy. I am definitely team Lucas.
Why: because he wouldn’t leave Kylie like Derek did. Sure he left but he didn’t say things were over and what not Derek broke her heart Lucas not so much. Lucas is also so protective of her I think it’s just so cute. And HE was also the one who was there when she got kidnaped not Derek. Sure Fredericka would kill her but I think she should go out with Lucas. Luv Ya
I’m for Lucas!
I agree with Wendy and Izzy.
Nothing against Derek but Lucas has known Kylie longer. He seems to know what she needs and understand her more then Derek does. Or maybe Lucas is just more patient? If i knew a guy could change my emotions I would be careful like Kylie. Derek doesn’t seem to understand how scary that is for her, although I my opinion he would never try to use his gift in that way.
But I’m pretty sure that if this were different, and Lucas hadn’t gone away. If Kylie had started to know him in the way she was getting to know Derek. Lucas wouldn’t have “given her space” if she was feeling conflicted. It could be the whole protection thing, but I also think Lucas wouldn’t have been (for lack of a better word harsh) as Derek. Which I didn’t expect because he knows how much she liked him. How could he not?
The whole Fredericka issue. Can be turned positive. She did without realizing it help Kylie use her super strength. So i don’t thing Fredericka, is to be looked at as a threat. More of someone who can help Kylie learn to stand up for herself. As we know now there are worst things then a vengeful werewolf. I would look at Fredericka as one small stepping stone on the road of Kylie to discovering all she can do and how strong she is.
I am a Lucas fan all the way. I think he’s perfect for Kylie they have sure fire chemistry going on and I think that’s important to have in a relationship. They have history together and he’s always been protective of her. He’s nice and has an edge to him as well. I think that Kylie gravitates to Derek because he seems familiar to her. He reminds her of her ex in some ways and of her old life. Well at least to me he does.
Definately Lucas hands down!! He’s her ‘one’ for sure
Lucas! cant go wrong with a handsome guy like that.
LUCAS – Cause I’m a sucker for Bad boys
I agree with Everyone who said Lucas.
Lucas has the looks the personality and really loves Kylie she has known him longer and has really tried to make it work.
Derek may love her as well but i don’t think its as much as Lucas.
with all that said i think Rachel Wendy and Izzy explain it all very well.
Hey…
Where’s my Derek fans? LOL. I love hearing everyone’s thoughts on this.
CC
Hey! where did you get the photo for Lucas? Please reply ide like to know
I Am a HUGE Derek fan, and even more so after finishing Taken At Dusk, well, was mad at him for a few seconds, then that passed as i got to know more about the situation and a certain new character, i will not do any spoilers, Anyway. I was back and forth for a bit, but with Lucas having the pack against the relationship as well as his grandma, i think this will cause more trouble down the road. Lucas is always stating he hopes she does turn out to be a were like him, and can’t accept the ghost stuff. Where Derek, he just goes with the flow on any ghost problems, and really is supportive with it. I also do not think he is going to have any trouble with her being a C******* No, I wont say, lol. Because i do not think Derek would care what she is, but Lucas does care. So I am all for Derek and Kylie getting together. Especially after a certain talk he had with her in Taken At Dusk.
Not telling for those who have not read it yet, but those who have , you know what i am talking about, towards the end of the book. So GO DEREK.
I am so team Lucas! I mean Derek is hot but, he called the quits and is so not for Kylie if he would do that. Lucas can really get Kylie and is perfect for her. Lucas-he can protect her, Lucas-he loves it when Kylie dreamscapes, Lucas-he was always there when she needs him most. AND WHO WASN’T-THATS RIGHT DEREK! and CC tell derek to fix there relationship but he would be to late and the Kylie trail would be off with Lucas as the driver!!!!
I am Team Lucas and I agree what people are saying about him.
Kylie even said she was creeped out by Derek’s ability to control emotions. That begs the question of whether or not he’s honest with her that he’s NOT messing with her. And how can you be POSITIVE? He could be doing it without meaning to.
On the other hand, with Lucas, everything is genuine. He has nothing to hide behind. He’s embraced his paranormal side (which if you remember in the first book Derek was talking about getting rid of it). He’s supported Kylie from the get-go and even though he wasn’t the nicest to her as kids, he still liked her. That says a lot that a guy could be that loyal (minus dating someone else–I mean he didn’t think he’d see her again).
Lucas has everything Derek doesn’t. STAYING Power.
Besides, he even went up against one of his OWN KIND for her. COME ON! The very fact that he didn’t believe Kylie about Fredericka he got to see for himself that Fredericka has it in for Kylie. And even though he’s worried about said jealous ex-girlfriend, he STILL defended Kylie. The dude needs the girl. A guy who would do that is a great guy and true hero.
As to Derek fans–I’ll tell my friend about the blog post. She’s totally Team Derek. We even discussed this whole thing at great length LOL
I had a whole post as to why I’m Team Lucas and then the site said fatal error and my post was gone and didn’t make it on the blog.
To me, Lucas is more genuine. He has nothing to hide behind. He can’t control Kylie’s feelings so she has no reason to doubt that her attraction to him is the genuine article. With Derek, how can she ever be really certain? He claims he doesn’t mess with her feelings, however, he might’ve done it without meaning to. For a girl as independent as Kylie, that would be a deal-breaker.
As to needing Team Derek fans, my friend is one, and we’ve talked about this at great length. We totally disagree and Derek’s had her vote almost from the get-go. (Like I said, I don’t agree with her at all about this). I’ll have to tell her about the post so she can make the case for Derek.
But I say: GO LUCAS!!!!
Ooops…it looks like my earlier post DID make it. WEIRD! It wasn’t on their earlier. Sorry about the double posts, C.C.
So I am not sure how this will all play out but then it is not my story to tell, I do however have some ideas. First Derek will fight for Kylie or make sure she knows that he’s the one she should be with. Kylie will be with Lucas till he has to chose his family over her again. Derek will step up to the plate and weather with influence or not (he has changed after his work with the FRU) Derek and Kylie will end up bumping uglies. Then Someone new will show up who Derek cant feel emotionally. Lucas finds out about Kylie and Derek but not till after things between Derek and Kylie are over but he still wants to kill Derek so he wont come back to camp. Kylie and Lucas will be together in the end. I have my own reasons as to the who why what where and when but because I have yet to read the third book I have no idea about how the relationships have played out so far.
This one took me forever to decide because I love both boys. But I think I’ve finally gone with Lucas, it seems just like everyone else. While in “real” life I’d go for Derek, there is just something about Lucas. He’s the first boy to stick up for Kylie, the old boy next door. Plus Derek seems to have pushed his feelings on Kylie more than Kylie actually falling for him.
TEAM LUCAS!!!
Why?
Kylie & Lucas have so much more passion compared to her & Derek! Derek gave her up…and he running away. To me he is acting like a coward & he doesn’t know what he wants. Lucas isn’t afraid to state that he longs for Kylie to whoever. It’s no secret they have the hots for each other. It’s not just the chemistry either, they also have a deep bond. I love that he protects her! Everything about those 2 gives me butterflies. I reallllly hope she chooses him!
TEAM LUCAS!!!!!
Derek had his chance and he blew it so now Lucas got a chance and he went for it. I mean in one of the books he said he loved her <3 but hey buddy-your too LATE!!!!! Lucas will love her forever and will protect her soooo…
LUCAS IS THE "ONE"!!!!!
(not Derek)
I DON’T KNOW
Derek is good looking and he’s really sweet. But he seemed to give up on Kylie.
Lucas is protective, hot and they have history. But he stole Kylie’s cat when she younger (alto he made up for it with Socks) and has a crazy ex girlfriend who want Kylie dead.
I think maybe Lucas cause it seems like Kylie is more attracted to him
C.C. I leave you to decided what happens
I’m all for Lucas. I think that it would be really unsettling to be with someone who could read your emotions. You wouldn’t have any privacy. Now that Derek can erase memories I would be even more leery if I were Kylie. Not that Derek ever would, but the fact that he could would be too much for me. I just wouldn’t ever feel comfortable in a relationship with a guy with Derek’s gifts.
I also really hate it in books and movies when the guy (or girl) says that he is going to give the girl he professes to love space so that she can decide how she feels. In situations like that why would a girl choose him especially when Lucas is there with arms open…
I love both of them but i like Derek better because he let’s Kylie choose, he’s also comforting i don’t know why but in my mind he is and also he’s not like every other boy(again in my mind), he’s more emotional and he listens to Kylie, like actually listen, he doesn’t pretend and i wish every boy was like that.
IKR
I am team Derek all the way, because he is caring and emotional. He actually listens to Kylie and trust her every decision.Unlike lucas , he can actually control his urges and he is REALLY GOOD -LOOKING! so Mrs. Hunter please choose him!!
I gave an earlier post about why I’m team Lucas and I still agree with it, but when I saw C.C’s post about why there aren’t team Derek fans I think I can supply an answer. I must admit that I was originally a team Derek fan but after what he did to her I switched because he left her broken hearted and I realized that Lucas would never do that and always fight for her. Derek is going to need to do something really big to make up for what he did to Kylie and is going to need to fight hard if he wants her back. He relly just pushed her into Lucas’s arms.
I agree with Izzy900-he pushed her into Lucas’s arms.
I LOVE LUCAS!
P.S-off the chart on the hot meter CC!
Deffinatey team Lucas!! Kylie is way more attracted to him and you can’t fully trust Derek cause he can control her emotions he might be a good guy but the temptation is still there
Team Lucas!
Derek had his chance but he is just to insecure to take. He worries about Kylie breaking his heart so he won’t trust her enough to give it to her. Like Lucas says “Derek’s an idiot” Now Derek will lose Kylie and spend his life regretting it. Lucas has confidence in spades and continues to show Kylie he cares and thinks about her even when he was gone. For that he’ll be the victor.
i like that point lisa. Its very true.
well c.c im kinda with you there it seems stuck to me to becuase as you said both boys love kylie and they both can get her out of danger . But there must be a dissision made. Unless your going to make kylie a morman but reversed with 2 husbands lol that would be an interesting twist . But my dissision is lucas cuase lets face it there i just something about bad boys that girls can never walk away from and to me it seems like kylie is more atracted to him . In the first book she says he makes her feel like a grown women and that is what kylie is becomeing so shouldent she have a relationship that will grow with her . How do i say this without sounding dirty lol .Her body seems to react to him more passionatly Then with derek . pluse its never good to date i guy that looks like/ remind’s you of your ex it usualy only lead to heart break. But thats just my thoughts on the matter.
The bad boy part is totally true!
i am pro-lucas.
there is just something hot about a guy that is protective and strong, yet caring and genuine. i personally think that derek is kind of creepy, i wouldn’t want to be with someone that has the power of manipulating emotions, it would just always be on my mind. and lucas is a werewolf and i have always been a dog person.
anyways i agree with all the lucas posts prior to this, he is a pretty nifty character, go C.C.!!
Well I do NOW prefer Lucas over Derek
At the beginning of Born at midnight I swayed towards Derek and thought he was a nice guy and good for Kylie but as the book went on (I found this even more in Awake at Dawn) That there was something that i felt off about Derek and Lucas in a sense just seemed right in the way that he has always been there for her even when she was little. His advances towards Kylie I find really cute, while Derek’s just seemed well a little too much. I felt that Kylie was with Derek at the beginning because she was broken and he was kind and nice to her while Lucas was distant to protect the both of them. It may seem silly but because of Lucas’ character traits he seem like a perfect match for Kylie.
That is my reasoning
-Jasmine
I used to be ” team Derek ” but after what happened in the second book I’m really more with ” team Lucas ” but in the next book hopefully he’ll fix his mistake.
I’d say Team DEREK! Yep, ladies, D_E_R_E_K. To be hot and steamy and protective doesn’t always mean to be the right one. I go usually for the bad guy, like Lucas. And maybe the fact that Lucas and Kylie have a history should be another reason for them to be together, but I see more reasons for DEREK and Kylie to be together. First of all, he is also hot, but not in this pushy way. Secondly, he didn’t “force” Kylie to kiss him, though he was in the similar situation like L and K. So Derek is a gentleman. Thirdly, he changed his decision about giving up his powers just for Kylie, though he actually hated this idea. But still he did. Lucas hasn’t done anything like that. And most likely wouldn’t /won’t since it’s not his thing. He does whatever he wants. Derek has also protected Kylie twice already. Then again Derek left Kylie for Kylie’s sake to help her to decide who is the one for her. Seems pretty caring for me. Yep he has the power to manipulate her emotions but he used only to calm her down. There were many chances for him to use his power on her and make her decide in his favor, but HE HASN’T. Shows a stronger character. If you keep thinking like “Derek can manipulate Kylie’s feelings”, well you can also think “Lucas can hook up with another werewolf- babe during the next full moon” as well. Which is neither so cool ^^ And it appears that Lucas can’t make a clear break with his (ex) girlfriend. The question here is whether it’s the problem of the girl or maybe it’s because Lucas is not sure about what he wants: same species, same fun. And this is yet another reason for Kylie and Derek to be together: he won’t be able to hurt her accidentally during the full moon. So Derek has already shown his protective, caring, risky, intelligent, romantic, hot, sensitive sides. So Kylie should go for Derek. And the history with Lucas should remain History
‘Sides it would be really cool if someone would go for the good guy. 
But again it’s Kylie’s decision to decide, she should be with the one who makes her feel whole
Though maybe a third hot-looking guy appears who steals her heart at once 
Amen!
Whew, finally someone thinking straight! (I’m kidding, ladies )
thank the lord i thought i was the only one
Omg!! I totally agree with u!! All the comments i have read so far all say “TEAM LUCAS”. I am getting tired of it
YES!! Thank you very much! i think that all of the Derek fans just didnt reply first, or they dont know about this website. Because everyone i know who read this loved Derek to. DEREK ALL THE WAY. he is way more patient, understanding, and a little risky, just like Lucas, but better because he doesnt go too far. and i know that if he was with her when they were young, he wouldve protected her and stood up for her too. everythind says that Lucas cant be with her, people dont want them togther and such. while Derek was confused in Taken at Dusk, he left just the same as Lucas. thenLucas got his chance and took it. while when he came back, he wasnt soo bitter to Lucas. also, i feel like she cares about Derek just a little more. for example, when Lucas left she was relieved. and when Derek left she was heartbroken. i love both of them, they would both go well with Kylie, but Derek just beats Lucas by…. A LOT. haha, yup so TEAM DEREK! yup yup, D-E-R-E-K. haha, well i would fight to be right about this! haha, i just reallyyy want them to be together.. they are perfect in my opinion. Hope you agree in the end Ms. Hunter.
Love them!
AND also SOCKS likes Derek! And cats have a good sense for people. At least that’s what my cat says.
I wouldn’t like to stress my cat who doesn’t’ like my boyfriend with this boyfriend being on my side.
I am team Lucas!
Not only is he hot stuff but the second Kylie told him that she was confused and she just needed friends right now he stopped everything and was just her friend. Don’t get mr wrong I like Derek too but as a lot of people have already said he basically gave her up. She was confused when Lucas came back to campus and instead of letting her have time to figure it out he just stopped talking to her. Lucas and Kylie have a history already and he has always been protective of her. I just think Lucas is the way to go!! Can’t wait to see who she ends up with!!
Let’s just say I’d be a little bit happier if Kylie ended up with Lucas because he has a bad-butt coating, but a super-sweet and awesome center. Though this is true, I love both Derek and Lucas for the traits they have that the other one lacks, so i’m kinda stuck!!! >.<
I love Derek, I really do. BUT, I am definitely on Team Lucas. Why? Well, he seems to understand her better. He can’t control emotions, so there is never any confusion as to if Kylie’s feelings are her own when she’s with him.
I love Lucas sooo much! He is so in love with Kylie, and I have liked him since the first scene with him in it. He is so protective and sweet, but he also has a dark side to him
He is just much nicer than Derek. Derek seemed like he was trying to create trouble for Kylie. I always picture him as the bad guys 
Anyway I am definately TEAM LUCAS <3<3<3
Wow! I’m loving reading these. Thank you every for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
CC
I have though very long and hard on these two wonderful boys. I have not taken side and I like Derek a lot and he is a great guy and all. I just think Derek is not very patient so he need to grow up a little. I think he assume on how a person will react to a certain emotion and that’s where I think he need to be a little more patient. Then again he is learning and he is in Shadow Falls. Lucas wow I love this guy. I think in ways too he need to think before he acts is all. He seems to be a little more mature then other guys. He is honest, responsible, caring in so many way. He is the type of person who will not give up, and a person who will fight for what he believe in. Kylie and Him are on the same page. I pick Lucas not because he handsome or strong, and Smart. I pick him because I could see a future with Kylie and him. Though i still want to find out more on Lucas. i still have so many question for him can not wait to discover more of him. Boys or Men are always a mystery to the opposite sex. I am so excited to see the story unfold on both of these boys, but for now it is Lucas. I guess i want him to win….LOL…. Not because every one is picking him that I want him to win. Who would not Pick Team Lucas The guy is AWESOME. I hope my answer will be an answer to your question. I did the best I could to explain. Though I will be happy no matter who you pick i just want Kylie to be happy. All three of them are there to grow at Shadow falls the story is not written in stone just yet. I just hope and want it to be Lucas…
TEAM LUCAS!!
I think what gets me about him, is their history. I love that has been protective of her from the first time they met, and that she thought something terrible about him in the beginning of the first book, only to find out how wrong she was. He turned out to be the same protector she always remembered him as. I love that he has loved her from day 1 and is so confident that she will eventually see that they need to be together. He also gives off bad boy vibes sometimes. That might just be because he’s a werewolf, but I like the bad boys.
I ended up liking Derek a lot more in the second book, but not enough to switch teams. When Kylie is with Derek she is always aware of him reading her emotions. It seems she is constantly on alert, to make sure she isn’t feeling something she doesn’t want him to catch on to. That sounds exhausting. It makes me feel bad for Derek, because what kind of relationship can he ever have with anyone, unless he can learn how to block that or turn that off every now and then. Anytime Kylie notices another guy, Derek will know it and probably end up jealous. With Lucas she can be herself and not have to worry so much about what she feels all the time. She doesn’t have to try to hide her feelings that she may like to keep to herself sometimes.
ALSO, her subconscious dreams of Lucas, and always has. Lucas is who she really wants when her brain is shut down for the night, because it finds him, even against her will. Plus werewolves are hott!
Kristy M.,
Excellent points. Like I said, I’m definitely Team Lucas. And I had forgotten about her dreaming about him. I did bring up the whole Derek controlling her emotions. And you’re right, she does constantly have to adjust what she’s feeling and that WOULD be exhausting.
Yet another reason Lucas is better for her!
I agree. I’m Team Lucas too. Derek is just too soft, he can handle all the things Kylie has to go through. Lucas would definitively handle it better
Go Lucas!
I have been a Lucas fan from the beginning but awake at dawn did make me start to fall for Derek a little more…still a Lucas fan but also a Derek fan nlw, I few bad for him
I am Team Lucas all the way! However, in the begining of Born at Midnight I was all for Kylie ending up with Dereck and I didn’t trust Lucas at all.
Dereck kinda creeps me out a little with his abilities to control emotions and wipe peoples memories! I don’t think he would ever use them on her without asking her but she will always have to be on guard with him just in case and thats just too much work. He is very sweet but a little too pushy for my tastes. I do not like how he just kind of abandoned Kylie when he found out about her feelings for Lucas. He plays way too many games and what girl wants that. Plus, it’s never a good idea to date someone who reminds you of your ex. All in all, I see Dereck and Kylie as really good friends but nothing more!
Lucas has always cared and tried to protect kylie even when she was little and thought he killed her cat (he didn’t… he even says he fought his own dad because his dad DID kill the cat). Sure he left Kylie also but he wrote her letters and was still letting her know he wants her. She obviously wants him too since she couldn’t stop dreaming about him even when consciously she didn’t want to. He also makes Kylie feel like a woman when she is with him and lets face it… thats exactly what she needs, she is growing up! The Fredricka issue…. well I think Lucas is just too nice when it comes to her but I don’t really see her as a threat (Kylie could easily kick her ass if needed imho).
Love Lucas
I really think that Kylie needs to end up with Lucas, and not just because I personally like him better. I think that he and Kylie are a good match and what they have between them definitely goes beyond friends or friends with benefits, which is more the vibe I get from Kylie and Derek.
I think Derek is a decent guy. However, there are some definite reasons why I do not think that he and Kylie should end up together.
1) I think the fact that it took Kylie so long to decide she would date him is very telling. To me, this shows that the two of them should not be in a relationship because there would be a severe lack of trust and not just on Kylie’s side either. Derek freaks out every time she feels guilty or has any happy emotion that does not involve him. This tells me that he would never fully trust her, and that is a major problem.
2) Kylie and Derek act more like friends with benefits that boyfriend and girlfriend. I think this goes back to there trust issues again, and Kylie even admits that she is a horny teenager, and Derek is who she goes to to, for lack of a better phrase, get it out of her system.
3) Derek started out seeming like the “perfect” guy. This in itself is a problem. Slowly, that shell of perfection is going to chip away and reveal flaws. In fact, I think this has already happened. Derek did not handle Lucas’s return well at all. In trying to get her to make a decision, he basically just brushed her off, and when she tried to tell him that she had already decided, he ignored her. Plus, perfection is boring. Lucas’s past and his flaws, which he openly admits to, make him much more interesting.
4) NEVER date someone that reminds you of your ex.
5) There is just something about the way that Kylie and Lucas are together that seems so right, and that something is just missing with Derek. It almost seems like Kylie is trying to force it because she thinks Derek is the one that she is supposed to choose.
<3 Lucas
I really really REALLY think that Kylie should end up with Derek. It’s not that i don’t like Lucas or anything, because he and kylie would be a great match. IT’s just that she and Derek would be a better one. I mean, Derek is sweet and kind and he really really cares about and likes Kylie. Although he was being a little bit of a jerk to her in Awake at Dawn…. But anyways, point is Derek is perfect for her. Lucas is just to….. sketchy. I mean, one minute he’s there, the next he’s off with Fredericka (I know he explained that situation, but still.).And even if he did save Kylie’s life, Derek has saved her life before, too. Team Derek!!!!
Throughout “Born at Midnight” and “Awake at Dawn” my preferences have changed. I started out as a team Derek, but I think now I am team Lucas. And I have no idea how to state why better than Wendy–the first post–did.
Tough call. I see Kylie & Lucas’ relationship more like best friends who are REALLY physically attracted to each other; lustful. But I see Derek as Kylie’s one true love. Its so romantic how they care for & understand each other. I also think that’s why the world is so “enhanced” when Kylie & Derek are sharing a moment together. I will feel bad for which ever one doesn’t get picked, but I will cast my vote for Team Derek.
I think both guys are fine, but I have to go with Lucas. I still like Derek, but he some of the things he did, well it kinda made him an idiot. He could have had Kylie, but he was to worried about her mixed up feelings and he didn’t want her to be a were because Lucas is one. Then he leaves her, I’m sorry but that’s messed up. Lucas left because of his sister and he even made up for part of his past by giving her Socks. Lucas likes her for who she is and would do anything for her. I still like Derek and all, but Lucas seems to understand her better and isn’t pushy about her feelings and he is willing to wait even though he wants more then anything to be with her.
So I’m team Lucas all the way. I like Derek, but I think Lucas would be a better match and Socks can learn to like him, I mean cats and dogs can get along so why can’t a cat and a were.
I’m for her ending up with Lucas ,because unless kylie can fined a way to block Derek’s emotion controal , i don’t think she’ll ever truely be abel to trust him
C’on, I’m definitely going for Derek!
Before I tell you why, let me ask you a question. How hard does ur heart pump when Kylie is with Derek on the pages? And how hard does it pump when she’s with Lucas? Even though Derek has this emotion controlling ability, he is very honest and promising not to make Kylie feel like it.
I’d prefer Lucas to be her very best friend and Derek to be her very boyfriend. But this is my opinion, so please don’t feel offended. But it also depends on CC, if she hooks up with Lucas (unexpectedly) I’m sure my heart will broke into million of pieces on the spot.
Lucas meant something to Kylie but Derek meant more to her and I knew it from the minute I started this book.
Anyway GO Derek!
i totally agree with you, Lucas should be Kylie’s very best friend and Derek should be with Kylie, that is my opinion.
Lucas, He is very protective, loves her, and he wrote her letters when he had to leave. He has loved her for a long time. Derek is sweet and would be good for her too if Lucas was not there but I have to chose Lucas if one must be chosen.
TEAM LUCAS….
I feel from the beginning that Derek was more a friend base for Kylie. I can see him has boyfriend material even. But to me Lucas is more the “one ” for Kylie. He has been even before the story takes place. I admit having reading both books that I fell in love with all three of these characters. But I honestly feel that she loves Derek but she is not “in love with him” I really see her with Lucas. He may have the bad boy image but he loves her and cares for her even from the beginning. I think the real moment that made me for sure Lucas was the one, not just has the reader but actually feeling the character manifest from my view, was the scene of kiss in the water. That did it for me, the connection was made. You felt it was just “right”. After that, I could never look at Derek as a option other than a truly close friend. Well that is just my opinion anyway has to the why. Love the books, keep up the wonderful writing!
*sigh* I couldn’t chose either…. I think that whoever Kylie ends up with, she will have to ask herself the ultimate “who could i NEVER lived without?” because that’s what it would come down to… no matter how much she loves either, or they love her, there is always one that has a deeper bond and she absolutely would not be able to live without
I love Derek way more than I like Lucas. But as for who Kylie will end up with I think she will end up with Lucas. Simply because she has always loved him and she can’t help that. It’s obvious that she will never be over him. And even though she loves Derek too she is helplessly in love with Lucas to the point where her life would be miserable without him. Lucas is her true love. I think Derek is a better person but there is some sort of mysterious qualities about Lucas that make him irresistible. And come on who doesn’t love a werewolf? They are amazing. So in the end I think Kylie will end up with Lucas because it makes more sense (she can’t help but love him right?) even though part of me is rooting for Derek, because come on, he’s amazing too.
I think it’s really looking like 90% of people want Lucas…Well I like Derek. Call me petty, but the minute Lucas ran off with Fredricka I would have been so over him. Derek loves her. Yes he left and blah blah but really…He needed that time apart and I know what that feels like.
Team Lucas!!<3
I AM REALLY CONFUSED!!!!
Its a hard choice…but I think I prefer Lucas. Don’t get me wrong, I still think Derek is AWESOME…though, it feels right when Kylie and Lucas are together. But I hate it how people are getting mad at Derek for leaving Kylie! I understand why he left her. I like the way how Derek let Kylie decide and give her space and all…but like I said, I think Lucas is the one for her! The whole problem is really bugging me because I want to know who Kylie ends up with!!! I’ll be devestated if she doesn’t end up with Lucas, but I’ll also feel REALLY bad for Derek is she DOES end up with Lucas… Im soooo confused! I know they both love Kylie very much and all, but….I don’t know…Lucas????? AHHHHHH!!!!!! its bothering me sooo much!
I love Derek and everything, and he has his reasons for leaving, so I get that, but… I’m team Lucas, short and simple, he and Kylie complement each other. They have this whole past and the two of them seem happy when they are together. Definitely Lucas.
I’m really not sure why but I feel more drawn to Derek. But either way she can’t lose!
I’m going with team derek becaus in the first book lucas is with his ex when he left kylie. Derek is nice, Hot, sweet, and love caring for Kylie. He just wants her to always be happy that why he help her by making her fell better. He is not trieing to make her do anything. She wanted to kiss him and he wanted to kiss her. I like Lucas but he make just dose not suit her!
THAT IS WHY I AM TEAM DEREK!
Well, this is weird, but C. C. if you made it that she ended up with neither, wouldn’t that be a cool twist? Or, add another guy. Even better, make her end up with her old boyfriend, Trey. I still prefer neither, and then in the later books she ended up with Lucas. For the first three books, make it that she said she doesn’t want to be with any of them. Then, later in the book make it that she wants to be with Lucas. This is my advice, one author to another (I like to write books too).
Morgan
P.S- I love these books!
I absolutely love these books! I begged my parents to buy me the books as they come out, of course they said I have to be the one to pay for them myself, but hey it’s fine with me. I write stories too but to be honest I’m not that good. Born at Midnight was great and if you want my opinion about who Kylie should pick, I’d choose Lucas. He’s perfect for her. He doesn’t push like Trey or Derek, Lucas wants her to like him because she wants to not because he wants to force her into it. Although after that scene at the creek (page 281), I just have to pick Lucas.
That’s why I’m all for Lucas Parker!
I prefer either of them! I love them as much as the books!
Derek
In the first book he was willing to be just friends just to be near her. He was always there for her and you can tell he loves her. They have both chemistry and friendship, any good relationship needs both. (I think whats between her and Lucas is mostly chemistry, its not like they’ve had many conversations)
I wish Derek would’ve fought harder in ‘awake at dawn’ but then again I dont think I could standby and watch if the person I loved had feelings for someone else. He seemed to understand how much stuff Kylie had going on though and did’nt blame her but yet couldn’t watch while she figured it out. It seemed as though he thought she needed some space from him so she could see if she loved him and with him not being around she’ll know he wasn’t influencing her (which I dont think he ever did)
I can’t wait till the next book comes out x
I have only read the first book.. But hopefully I’ll be able to get the second one tomorrow. But I already am a fan for Lucas. He really does like her, total sweetheart with the bad boy side. I mean come on he fought his dad to try to save her cat! Then got her a kitten even thought cats hate him.
Okay yes he has a crazy one night hook up… And I guess she does something to Kylie… But if you say ghosts the crazy werewolf tucks tail and runs…. Not so scary lol.
The fact Derek looks and reminds her of Trey is not a good thing. He agrees to be friends then tries to make her jealous!! Hello girl needs time with out that playing with her head!
Lucas wanted to take her with him but didn’t want to get her in trouble. Passion, protective, kind, caring. Hell he ran when she screamed about a snake. And he doesn’t freak out about the ghosts. Plus who doesn’t love a werewolf!!
Lucas alll the way… He comes back soon in the second one right??
Personally I would like to get to know both boys first. They both have issues they need to deal with and she needs to learn more about the bond that ties Lucas and her. Plus she still is angry with the Trey thing and so for now I am neutral until we learn about Lucas and Derek cools off. Hopefully then all three will know what they want. Maybe have her back off boys for a couple weeks while everything plays through.
I have to say that I’m team Lucas all the way!
Reason number 1: because he’s known Kylie her for a while and you could already tell he liked her from day one because of that part where he protected her from those boy bullies!
Reason number 2: Because he’s a bad boy and every girl dreams of dating the bed boy^.^
Reason number 3: unlike Derek, Kylie doesn’t run the risk of her emotions being controlled what so ever so what she decides is 100% her.
Reason number 4: Because he’s an all around good guy who’s very sweet and protective. He would stand by Kylie and help her no matter what situation she may find herself in.
Reason number 5: If she’s dream-scaping with Lucas and not Derek then obviously she has a bigger thing with him. So far from reading BORN AT MIDNIGHT and AWAKE AT DAWN she can’t seem to get Lucas off her mind no matter what she does and I say that it means she’s fallen hard.
Reasons against Derek: First of all, I don’t hate Derek (I actually like him) but I think they should just stay friends.
My one big reason as to why I think Lucas is better is because of this: He can erase her memories and control her emotions which is like way creepy and how would you remember that he had done all of those things if he did something to you for something he didn’t like?
P.S. I absolutely loved both books and I’m dying just waiting for the next one to come out! I thought they were amazing and honestly to tell you the truth, I believe Kylie seems to be an Angel or something with the whole guardian thing going on and being able to have abilities of other supernaturals:)
I love these books and i have to admit that i am totally invested in the characters and their relationships but i don’t get where Lucas gets the reputation of the bad boy because lets think about it: he saved Kylie from the bullies, He warned her about his dad, he hasn’t been with anyone since seeing Kylie at the camp, and he’s not forcing or controlling Kylie in any way. I love Derek, i do and i can see how he’d be good for Kylie but Lucas still gets my vote and i think it’s mainly because of how he responded to her as children, i think thats really sweet and their something really endearing about it.
First of all, I have to say that I like both boys very, very much. If I were Kylie, I wouldn’t have known exactly who to choose either.
BUT, yes, there is a but–Derek just feels a little…Too soft? If you get what I mean? I think Lucas would really be better for Kylie. I’m not saying that because I like Lucas better than Derek(Okay, maybe a little. I mean, super hot werewolf? *Sight*) but also because I thing Lucas would stay by Kylie’s side no matter what and handle everything she does. They keep each other on their toes and butt head. Love it!
Derek is sweet and kind, but I just don’t think he can handle everything Kylie has to go through. Yes, he would support her, but he wouldn’t understand her choices and handle it the way Lucas can. Derek would probably “back off” a little to figure out his own emotions and how he feel, while what Kylie needs is someone who’s there for her EVEN when that person maybe doesn’t want to. Again; Like Lucas.
And I’ve read what some people writes about Lucas being a bad-boy/ or not a bad-boy. And you know what? Lucas is a sweetheart and would protect who he loved no matter what. Killing someone who hurts Kylie? Yeah, he would do that. Does that makes him a bad-boy? Probably. Does that makes him a sweetheart? Hell yes! Maybe I’m just twisted that way, but I love that he would go through that for Kylie, and I have no doubt that he would.
Would Derek kill to protect Kylie? I’m not sure, I think Derek would think and try to figure out a way to help Kylie and not kill the enemy in the process. I just don’t think he has what Kylie needs.
People have written that they want Derek because he’s a sweetheart, but really people, is someone who’s only a sweetheart what Kylie needs?
No, she needs someone who’s though and hard and a fierce protector, and also while being kind and sweet to her. Derek just can’t do that.
I really hope that C.C go for Lucas. Because the way Derek handled things in Awake at Dawn really let us know how he would handle it the next book. Not in a good way. And while Lucas didn’t appear as much in Awake at Dawn, when he got to the camp, he just jumped right into the picture with Kylie and didn’t ignore her like Derek, but actually looked out for her. I liked that.
Lucas!
this choice is sooooo hard…. ( sorry for my mistakes in english because it is my third language) If I close my eyes and visualize with who she will spend the rest of her life is… Derek because it was love at first sight. And I feel Lucas unstable, but also he is sweet and sexy
And I was wondering when you will publish the second book in french ( because it will be more easier to me ) I hope you will answer me soon because I can’t wait to read it.
Thank you !
I AM SO TEAM LUCAS!
I think he’ll be there for her through thick in thin. Also, I think it’s easier for Kylie to be around him. Because, Derek can manipulate and see her emotions. They’re both hot, so their equal in that department. So, that’s my six pence. Though I do think Kylie would be happier with Lucas. (Sorry this jumps around everywhere. I’m always like that in writing.)
Yes lucas has that whole bad boy thing going and he is very sweet on her,he makes kylie feel so on edge. When she is in dereks arms she is relaxed and can feel comforted by him. Lucas has the whole hot werewolf thing you but in the end derek is growing and maturing and trying to find out who he is right along with kaylie. I like both of them because they both make her feel great but in the end when she is with derek she sees the world in a whole new light. I would like her to end up with either of them. Please don’t let this be she goes all feminist and goes off by herself to fulfill her destiny cause that would be brutal. I really want to be team derek but when I think about how lucas would feel if that happened breaks my heart.
Derek is deffanately who she should go for. now even tho kylie and lucas have a past together derek has a very comforting feel about him and also he really truely cares for kylie, not tht lucas doesnt. also when in search for a guy you want someone who ake u feel safe and calm(like derek) not, on edge nervous, and in-tense(like lucas). and derek is also kind of on his own quest of self discovery so him and kylie deffantely have a similar empathy for each other. i think tht what kylie feels for lucas is recpect and gratitude for saving her life in the past and recently…not love. but what derek feels is so strong and passonate it draws you in and i just know kylie and derek should be togeather in the end. but either way the storyline will continue to thrill me .
ps. please dont end the series at Taken at Dusk
TEAM DEREK!
Derek has been my favorite since the very beginning of Born at Midnight. I mean he gave 2 pints of blood just to talk to her for a few hours, come on. He waited and gave Kylie the choice if she wanted to make their friendship something more. Kylie always feels safe with him too. He’s saved her from a snake, a lion, some vampires, and has mostly been her emotional rock. Derek also has been just as honest as Kylie has been with him. Plus, they are so much alike. It’s what brought them together in the first place. Like alie said, Derek is just trying to figure himself out as much as Kylie is. Everyone has their ups and downs, but if Kylie and Derek truly love each other, they’ll be able to find each other again.
I also know that I said Derek gave Kylie the choice of friendship or something more. It had to hurt a guy’s ego to be turned down that many times, but Derek still gave Kylie her space and let her decide. I’m also aware that at the end of Awake at Dawn, he didn’t want to be either. Derek’s heart was broken just as much as Kylie’s. They just need time.
And on a last note, we all know they are both super hot. I just think Derek’s personality and “charm”,as he calls it, wins out. Seriously, if your world turned “magical” everytime you were with Derek, would it even be a contest?
I’m just hoping she picks Derek.
Lucas did leave, but so did Derek.
Lucas left for a good reason, but Derek left in order to be away from Kylie. In my opinion that shows something about him. If it was the other way around and Lucas was jealous of Derek, he would probably stick around and fight for her rather than run away and feel sorry for himself. He was also mean to her after they broke up, he ignored her and her emotions. She donated blood for him!
Lucas on the other hand isn’t so inconsiderate. He only left because he needed to help his sister, and yes he kissed her and made her insides all twisted up but then again he also said he shouldn’t have done that after he did and didn’t go into Kylie’s cabin when she invited him in. One more important thing about Lucas is that he has always been protective of her, even in their past. Derek tries to be protective sometimes, but Lucas has shown way more loyalty in that department. It also shows a lot that after Kylie got kidnapped she dreamscaped Lucas, not Derek or Burnett or anyone else.
TEAM LUCAS
Lucas of course!! I’m gonna be really pissed off if she stays with derek,he is such a boring person haha
Lucas likes kylie since they were kids, Derek saw her and already starts liking her,it doesn’t make sense,and kylie only started liking him because he looked like trey! When Lucas left he went to save his sister,he needed to go,and he wrote her letters.And derek left because he is an ass and couldn’t handle the fact that she might have feellings for Lucas. So definitely I’m TEAM LUCAS!
Ohh, team Lucas! <333 Please, let them end up together. xD
I’m confused in a way,on how I feel about them.I think Derek is super sweet,and yeah he can control emotions but he said he would never use them to get some one to sleep with him.A lot of guys would be super fast to use his power that way.Realy his big flaw was “giving Kylie space”.He should be trying to help not try to have her figure it all out on her own.
I think Lucas is cool for replaceing her cat,seeing as he couldn’t save the other one in time.Plus hes protective,but not overly protective.
So yeah i’m leaning more to the Lucas side,but you still got to give Derek some points.
TEAM LUCAS!!!!!! <3
yeah, i know it late to say that but i like lucas better than Derek i goes for the bad boys that is HAWT! Derek not my type he's to emotional….and so wat socks like derek i mean hello? Lucas a werewolf and cats hates werewolf if u don't know
And Kylie and Lucas met since they were little ,he saves from those bullies. Lucas is protective and cares about her more than Derek. But if Kylie ends up with Derek c.c might finds me in front of her door! JK JK lol Go Team Lucas!!! XD
im team lucas all the way
Pingback: Your Questions About Boyfriend Checks Out Other Girls In Front Of Me | Stop Jealousy
I love Derek!!! He is hot, respectful, sensible, honest, clever…. everything that i value in a boyfriend. Always Kylie and Derek are togheter, everyting looks magical… with Derek, life is a fairy tale… And I think his powers are biggest than the powers of ANY werewolf…
Definitely Lucas!
As much as I like Derek, I think Lucas is better than Derek for many reasons. Lucas doesn’t try too hard and he shows Kylie the real him. He’s not trying to be something he’s not. Also, every time Lucas and Kylie are together there is so much energy in the air and sparks are flying. With Derek it’s just sweet, calm, and a little friendly. There are no intense feelings between Kylie and Derek. Lucas also met Kylie first. I loved their history as kids! One of his best qualities is that he listens and he still remembers Kylie having a cat when she was little and apologized for what his parents did to it. Someone said in a post that it was love at first sight with Derek, I didn’t feel that what-so-ever. If anything, she had an instant connection/attraction with Lucas. She soon as she laid eyes on him, she knew they had a past. They have so much chemistry, it’s insane! Their first kiss by the river was HOT!!! C.C., please give us more! I LOVE hot scenes and need details. I’m a very visual person!! know its a YA book, but I’ve read so many YA books that are extremely sexy. I can’t wait for Taken at Dusk! I’ve read some chapters on amazon and its SO good! The scenes between Kylie and Lucas…….Yum Yum!! I hope his werewolf instincts persuades her to more than a kiss!! Just got done reading that chapter. haha. Thanks for an amazing read!! Team Lucas!!!!
TEAM LUCAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?
He’s always thinking about her and if she safe or not, I mean even as a kid he would watch her. Derek broke her heart and walked away not caring, plus he got mad at her for Lucas sending her letters while he was gone, another point for Lucas. When Derek left he never called wrote or dreamed, if Derek cared he would have talk to her at lest once when he was gone. Not run of and huck up with his ex. Lucas trys hard to understand what she feels and can tell with out having the power of feeling emotions like Derek. Plus Lucas is willing to give up title just to be with her and keep her safe. Also when he feels he hurt her bad he try’s to make up for it and dosnt just say sorry and hope she forgives just words.
Team Derek Team Derek Team Derek!
I pick Derek because he was the one who confronted her first. He did save her from the lion. And….. Even though he left, he was still worried about Kylie in Taken at Dusk, He called her to make sure she was alright. Now thats what i call HOTT<33333. Love Love Derek and Hope he's the one that ends up with Kylie, or at least neither. If Derek cant have her, then nobody can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely Derek!!!
He understands all Kylie feels. Which other man, in the world, knows what we, women, fell?? And Lucas will never understand her completely, because she is not a wolf like him… I love Derek! I would like to find a fae like him.
Team Lucas!!
I think that even you, C.C., are secretly pulling for Lucas, ’cause even all through the first and the second book, I felt this bond between Kylie and him.
So here are the reasons Kylie has to end up with the big bad wolf :
1.She feared him & she still went out of camp grounds with him (where they shared THE kiss, I had dreams about that for like 2 weeks:P), it seemed like inside, her soul was telling her that there is not even a remote possibility he would ever hurt her intentionally.
2.Not unlike I, Kylie pulled Lucas into her dreams. And again not unlike mine, those dreams weren’t all that innocent. With Derek she has felt some lust & nobody can argue the fact that she loves him, but I feel like she forced the lust part. She felt love, love that can be very well described as brotherly, & when Lucas wasn’t around (physically) to let her know what lust really feels like, she thought brotherly love was enough.
C.C., thanks for the joy your books have brought me!
LUCAS ALL THE FRIKIN WAY!!!!
ok so im supposed to explain why so here it is
i don’t know why maybe cause Dereks way to in love with her it annoys me i mean ive never liked the persons whos way to in love and then just drops it like that not caring that he was breaking kylies heart
this is kinda amazing cuz im team DEREK 4 life!
I have no idea why but if she doesnt end up with Derek ima be mad! *Warning spoiler for taken at dusk….* She says that when shes with him it is like a fairy tale and personally i dont believe that derek is controlling her emotions there… and plus… who wouldnt go for the guy that tells u …. i love you and your the only one i care about. lol. Plus during taken at dusk Lucas was kinda a jerk most of the time! I mean for real? what is his deal with the she-wolf? Ellie was right she should be with derek! In real life i would see myself dating derek, not lucas. Derek+kylie=4ever!
I don’t know if like Derek or Lucus better but if I had to choose id pick Derek cause he is:
good looking
Protective
Caring
Patient
Understanding
And he saved kylie’s life many times
Team Derek!!!! He understands Kylie and doesn’t judge her ghost side! Lucas is hot and all but that’s it he is to over powering to be with Kylie. She needs Derek because he will be the guy she needs by her side to be the best! He love her and I dont believe he uses his power to manipulate her feelings towards him. Even her friends get along better with Derek! She needs to chose Derek he is her soul mate!! Her everything ….:)
Book 3 has changed my view. Before, I was leaning towards Lucas, but I didn’t feel I had enough to go on to really say which side I was on. But now that I’ve seen more of both guys with Kylie, I’m Team Derek. He gets her and accepts her the way that she is.
I love Derek and he obviously cares for Kylie, but for me, Kylie’s connection with him isn’t as strong as it with is with Lucas.
For a while I thought I was going to actually lean to Derek, but I think Kylie and Derek’s relationship lacks the intensity that it does with Lucas. So, I’m back with Lucas. I think it’s the fact that their relationship isn’t all that perfect, particularly with all the problems and barriers with both Kylie and Lucas. It makes it more realistic and I suppose ‘darker’ – if you want to use that term.
So, yes it’s Lucas for me
I LOVE DEREK!!!!
He is the guy that I have been looking all my life! He understands Kylie, all that ghost stuff, he is powerful and sweet. He is hot and his kisses are delicious… He doesn’t care what specie Kylie is…. He just loves her…
Team Derek, for sure!!!
He is a hot fairytale prince that can satisfies any girl!!!
Team Derek!!!
Nowadays, women don’t want just hot men that want to protect them, as they were fragile and stupid, e that don’t accept what they really are… Women want men that share their interests, that are, before everthing, great friends and accomplices. Somebody they can talk about everything with no fear and that understands their feelings. And Derek is a man like that!
I reeeeaaally hope she ends up with Lucas!
look, I know what u mean that women nowadays want a man who will support them, understand them … but isn’t it a little hot when a man fights for you? Derek just let Kylie go, he was too proud -.- Lucas ,that i can see in these books, would fight for her till the end! he wouldn’t care if he feels too much, he would rather suffer than let her go!
I read the books, all three of them, and the last book just proven to me that Lucas is better for Kylie!
Team Lucas!!!!
Lucas all the waaay!
i know Derek is more supportive of Kylie’s gift and all, but if he doesn’t protect her form it as well, she’ll be dead in a matter of days, if he just lets her deal with the ghosts she’ll become too involved and won’t do anything else. Lucas will eventually learn to live with it, but he’ll still be protective, he’ll take care of her when she won’t be able to do it herself….
please let it be Lucas!!!!
Derek cuz he’s understanding, supportive, and he is not at all pushy
He has self control
DEREK IS PERFECT 4 KYLIE!!!
I AM TEAM DEREK ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?
Derek was there through all of her problems including her ghost problem and her parents divorce. When Derek and Kylie are together i feel like they have acually conversations that mean something to them and it would be hard for them to tell anyone this information. I don’t know much about Lucas and I would need to know more about him. He seems a bit sketchy to me. Derek showed her how much he liked her and when she said she just wanted to be friends he said he would rather be friends than not be around her at all. Derek is everything that i want in a guy. I do usually go for the bad boy but not here, here I prefer the calmer easier going guy over the bad boy. Lucas left camp with another women that he hasn’t told that he does like her. It’s his ex-girlfriend Fredericka. That needs to be taken care of and soon. I know he said he went to help his sister but I’m still a bit suspious of him. I don’t like how Lucas isn’t questioned and Derek is. Derek doesn’t want his gift because of what it does. What person want to read other people’s emotions. Who wouldn’t be jealous if the girl you loved, liked someone else. He was an idiot to leave her but he know that if he’s around then she will think he is muniplulating her feelings and he would never do that. There needs to be more trust between Kylie and Derek and i think that’s there only problem. Lucas seems more of the brotherly type because he protects her from the bullies. I think that just because you have history is not a reason to be together. It’s in the past so it needs to stay in the past. I never once heard her say that she missed Lucas while he was away but she missed Derek a lot and it was breaking her heart and she needs to wait a little to show Derek that she loves him and not Lucas. Derek left for Kylie’s sake and it broke his heart as well as her heart. There is a saying that sometimes you don’t know what you have until you have lost it. Kylie is guilty about thinking of Lucas because she loves Derek (I think). I would be mad if she doesn’t end up with Derek and i would cry but it is Kylie’s decision in the end. Derek saved Kylie from the lion and from the Blood Brother gang. He also came to see and make sure she was okay when 2 girls in town had been murdered while Lucas didn’t. He sent 2 letters and that was all and she didn’t open the second one for some time and when she went to read did you notice that her mom called before she got it out that was what i think was fate she did read it later i know but still. Derek has told her time and time again that he would never munipulate her emotions, trust me if he did then Kylie would have not felt guilty around him because she was think about Lucas. He always allows her to choose. They both have trust issues because of things that have happened in their lives which i think makes them more compatible if they can overcome trust issues then they can overcome everything. When Derek and Kylie are together, my heart pounds really hard but when she’s with Lucas I don’t feel that. What Derek and Kylie have is real love. Lucas and Kylie are just attracted to each other. Derek is more like her boyfriend and Lucas is just more of her brother figure to me than anything else. When Derek walked away and she didn’t stop him i cried, when Lucas left I didn’t cry. When she wanted to talk to Derek she gave Jonathan a pint of blood and Derek did the same thing for her eailer so that proves there love for each other to me. It’s a great book series i can’t wait to read Taken at Dusk when I go buy it.
I think Derek is a much more complex character. Lucas is plain. He has sex in first place. Derek has a relationship. Derek is much more mature than Lucas.
Independent what the readers think, C.C. Hunter has already decided who Kylie will choice: Lucas… You just need to read Taken at Dusk to find out it… Its a pity… I like Derek, but now I know he does not have any chance… Derek Team, we lost…
When Kylie find out what she is, we discover that the decision has been already done…
Team Lucas!
Why? It’s obvious. The guy is totally ears over tail in love wih Kylie. He’s protective, but I have the feeling if Kyle told him, he would swallow his pride and step down. Even when he was a little boy, Lucas looked out for Kylie. I was torn the first two books, but Taken at Dusk made up my mind.
) that reminds me of what a friend would do. Even in the first book, when Lylie kissed Lucas, it said she felt as if she’d had her first taste of passion. While Derek’s no doubt loyal, Lucas and Kylie have obviously got chemistry.
Derek claimsto love Kylie, but he ran away! Sorry, but that’s a major turn off. No one wants to have a hot steamy romance with a coward. Sure, he;s been there through all her problems, but in a way… (Sorry, Team Dereks
You see Kenni, thats my problem! Kylie and Lucas have so much chemistry, that I don’t really like it. But Derek and Kylie, are so perfect. Derek can sense Kylie’s emotions. Therefore he can see when she needs comfort, or space. When Lucas would do anything to be near her, even if it means hurting a friend. I want a guy who can be there for me, but who would do it out of love, not protection instincts, and I’m sure Kylie would feel the same. Derek knows what to do to make everything perfect, literally! He never goes through mood swings, like Lucas, and he’s just so perfect!!! And though in book 3, he brings back Ellie, he did the right thing. So, though you make an excellent point, Kenni,
Derek is my pick.
Lucas is the one
CC-i love how you make them so close!
Sorry, but Lucas is obvious. He is the typical macho man (wolf). He wants protect her, he doesn’t understand her feelings, he does’t have arguments, just knows how to kiss and hug and tickles her cheek and lips with a grass… (it must be irritanting…) Derek is inteligent, has good arguments, is sensible and is not a masoquist… That’s all. Bus if Kylie will be choice Lucas, great! C. C Hunter can write another serie telling the Derek story!!
I’m team Derek. I mean, he cares… ALOT! AND, he doesn’t care what Kylie is. Lucas, on the other hand, cares alot about what she is. In Taken At Dusk, Lucas is constantly being pushed about it. I think Kylie would be better off with Derek. It doesn’t matter if she is a vampire, a werewolf, a shape-shifter, or whatever!! He’s nice, intelligent and can ease her pain if needed! But, we’ll find out in the long run now won’t we?
Laura, I like, no, scratch that. I LOVE the way you think. Derek all the way!
My favorit is so Lucas and Kylie!
team Lucas because even though Derek was with her after Lucas left, he also abandoned her, Lucas should more time to shine in book 4, and he loves kylie
Team Lucas all the way!
Lucas will protect her. He is so romantic with her for example, he said that he thought she couldn’t get cuter than when she was six. My favorite with Lucas was when they went to the creek. He saved her in the 2nd book. Derek left her for Ellie Mason. Me personally wouldn’t want to date a guy who could mess with my feelings for him. Lucas was even protecting Kylie when she screamed because there was a snake, even though it wasn’t nessesary. Lucas was so worried when she was seeing how the ghosts died.
I love both of them…But I would choose DEREK over Lucas. He accepts Kylie and doesn’t have any wishes what she should be – like Lucas has. He is also truthfully about his past and the mistakes he has done. Kylie feels like caught in a fairytale when she is with, she feels not only temptation and knowing -for me that’s true love <3
DEREK =)
DEREK DEREK DEREK!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, I’m also Derek + Kylie. bc, he understands her more and they have more chemistry. He is also in love with her already.. and Lucas doesnt understand her whole ghost business, and his pack doesnt want them together anyway.. also, whenever Kylie is with Derek its like a fairytale.. EVERYTHING POINTS TO THEM BEING TOGETHER. haha, and ive read all three books so far, twice. maybe a 3rd.. haha, LOVE them.
Well, book 1, Derek all the way, book 2, !!!SPOILER!!!, after Derek left, Lucas all the way, but then book 3, when, !!!SPOILER!!!, Derek came BACK, (Even though he had Ellie with him), I was for both. And now, after reading all three Shadow Falls books, I’m so confused as to who I should like more. The handsome and amazing Lucas, or the sweet and adorable Derek??? Hmmmmm…
I’ve always been team lucas, and now that i’ve read taken at dusk and I love them even more! after this book if they don’t end up together it doesn’t worth reading the rest of it!But i’m sure they will,otherwise it wouldn’t make any sense.I loved their romance and it’s much better then with derek, and I think almost every one who read the book is also wanting to lucas and kylie and up together. I think derek will be kylie’s best friend, I think they are better as friends.
end up**
LUCAS!!!LUCAS!!!LUCAS!!!
Lucas is definitely who she should pick. I mean it was sweet how Derek confessed his love, but honestly I didn’t like how he acted throughout the series so far. He got super jealous over Lucas and then sleeps with his ex girlfriend, and decides he loves Kylie. If it was the other way around, Lucas would never have done that. He would have fought for her instead of running away and abandoning her like Derek did, and with the whole fairytale thing with Derek it seems like she’s more infatuated with him than love. With Lucas there were some steamy scenes , but you can see they have some deeper connection, so I’m 100% rooting for Lucas.
UGH. I really like Lucas because he’s so like hot. But Derek understands her so much better and he’s so sweet. I think I have to say Derek, because Lucas isn’t as understanding. If Kylie isn’t a werewolf he won’t love her anymore, or atleast he won’t be able to. But Derek on the other hand may have done some bad things, but he understands her and doesn’t who or what she is. He really cares about her. So I would have to say Derek.
DEREK! That little sweet half Fae. (:
and I was thinking..imagine if she could really change her pattern? she could stay as an were just to be with him, it would be so sweet…derek made a lot of wrong choices and I think lucas deserve her better…and he cares so much about her and would do anything for her and in taken at dusk she always says that felt right when she was with lucas,when he took her to bed,and when he kissed her,and there are so cute parts of them together,of him caring about her,and she caring about him. I know she cares about derek too and that he understands her,but I think he can be a really good friend when she needs.And when she kissed Lucas,she said she felt passion,almost drunk with passion..I’m rooting for Lucas,they should definitely end up together,especially after this awesome book “taken at dusk”. (sorry if there is something wrong,i’m brazilian:) LUCAS s2

DEREK DEREK DEREK DEREK DEREK
He might have done some wrong things, yet he is the right one for her.
Lucas expects to be a were, Derek understands her more than Lucas.
Derek doesn’t mind what she is.
so DEREK DEREK DEREK DEREK DEREK
I am also stuck on that topic I can’t seem to find something more on one guy then the other they both sonehow find a way to even out
lucas would be great to because he is protective and caring but he has some trouble with his pack and of course the whole Fredericka thing going on
Derek is being cunfusing and yes hurtful to kylie but he was all ways there for her and wouldent get upset of her being a (don’t read if u don want to know) chameleon Yea this is getting really long but anyways they are always finding a way to be the one and a little hurtful at the same tIme its just so cunfusing so I will try to jetway let u choose for us
LUCAS!
Why: They are perfect together…I love Derek too but Lucas is the better choice, if he is will to give up his pack for her, he is the one for her!
