I'll play this by ear Trisha. If I don't jump on here, you'll know.

no worries Vicki. this one is low low low on the priority list :)

True :( thanks for your support Trisha!

I'm not sure if I can start tomorrow. I have so much to do. I'll probably read this one very slowly.

I'm still GTG. If I'm not drowning in good books, I don't know what to do, lmao!

I can't live drowning in books. It's too much!

I'm joining you guys! I'm able to join this one since I just downloaded the kindle app yesterday and I love it! And now that I see that this book is free, I can definitely do this one. :D :D :D

yay!!!!!! :D Welcome Trinity!!!

looks like we have 36 chapters and about 330 pages

Should we come back ever 6 chapters? Does that work for everyone?

That sound FAB Trisha! LOL :-) Already got it all downloaded and ready to go!

That's perfect! I can't wait :) It's just waiting to be read! :-D

I'm going to be able to do this one because I have waaaayyyy too many BR I'm trying to get done. Hope you guys enjoy this one!! :)

no worries Kathy! :) enjoy your buddy reads !!

Thanks Trisha! I'll look you guys reviews though to see how well you liked it!! :)

Okay, I'm done with 6 chapters
wow, lol

who would have thought (view spoiler)[ Latin would becoming the "it" language! crazy... (hide spoiler)]

I feel so bad that she hasn't changed yet :(
and I hate the name "zero" it's not so different from name calling now...

I don't mind the slang either. it's pretty easy to get

but (view spoiler)[ what on earth did she do to Raf.
I couldn't figure out why she didn't want him to kiss her?? it sounded like she was jealous of the other girls in his life... (hide spoiler)]

good beginning. how's it going for you guys?

Well I am really liking this so far, but I've only gotten one chapter in. I'll be reading further at work today, so I'll post more later and look at your spoilers then Trisha!

I haven't gotten that far either. I've been busy lately, but I'll make time to read later :)

I just got TO chapter 6. Very interesting so far. I can tell I'm going to enjoy it!

Ok, I finished through 6 so I can read your spoilers and respond now Trisha.

I thought (view spoiler)[ the same thing about the Latin, lol. CRAZY! (hide spoiler)]

The slang makes pretty good sense so i'm not having probs with it as of now...

and I agree about (view spoiler)[ poor Raf! I wondered if her telling him to stop might have actually stopped his heart?!?! I read that section twice to see if I could grasp it better. I know this sure isn't the change she was hoping for! (hide spoiler)]

Her not being able to read minds reminds me of girls who get their periods late... feel so left out and all.

Interesting so far - I'm really liking it!

just finished chapter 8

(view spoiler)[ Not sure what I think of Simon. I'm glad Kira has a new "friend" but i'm worried he might be dangerous.... (hide spoiler)]

And now I'm worried about Raf's feelings! Waaaah!

Well Well Well.... Starting chapter 15 and I have to say that I do NOT (view spoiler)[ trust this Simon guy one bit. Not one bit at all. I feel he has an agenda and he's using Kira for whatever purpose. She's gonna end up taking some fall for him.... OH! and I hated how she had to hurt Raf. I really like him! (hide spoiler)]

What do you all think???

I really like it so far!

just finished 8 too

yeah, why does (view spoiler)[ "Now it's just you and me." sound so ominous??

he makes me nervous. the fact that he's had no problem telling people mentally what to do for years...just sounds like he's not a good guy... (hide spoiler)]

okay finished chance 18

ugh, I hate the choices she has made.
it seems like she is making the wrong decision to trust who she trusts.
Simon only liked her when he found he could use her. Raf has always been there for her and doesn't care if she's a changeling or not.

I'm with you - I just don't trust Simon....

I agree Trisha. I'm through chapter 22 and something is coming I think. Guess I'll see tomrrow!

Ok, re-read chapter 22 to make sure I completely understood it. Holy Moly. (view spoiler)[ Kira is definitely unusual. (hide spoiler)]

At least she finally (view spoiler)[spilled her guts to Raf, although now I'm worried about him keeping her secret. Very worried about all those jackers at that "meeting" - UGH btw! and now we have FBI Jackers. It's a CRAZY time in this book for sure (hide spoiler)]

Now sure how this is all going to pan out, but have to say I am very nervous.

I am enjoying this book a LOT. Depending on the ending I am planning on keeping up with the series!

I'm enjoying it too! I just finished chapter 26

Poor (view spoiler)[ Laney. they made her 'disappear' (hide spoiler)] I wonder if we'll see her again...

I hate that she's being pushed (view spoiler)[ into joining Molloy...I still don't like him (hide spoiler)]

I guess it makes sense (view spoiler)[ that her dad is jacker too, but then why didn't he watch her closer?? Do you think her brother might be too?? (hide spoiler)]

and I wonder how much the mom knows?

I'm so glad she got to talk to Raf too! But now she seems stuck where ever the (view spoiler)[ FBI (hide spoiler)] have shoved her :(

ugh, Ch 29
I know she's doing it to strengthen her mindjacking but (view spoiler)[ I hate that she's tormenting other people!!! Just awful! I feel like her being in their is changing her view of right and wrong (hide spoiler)]

wow, OMG I'm done

great great great first book! I really loved it!

I'd love to read book 2!!!

Im not done but I LOVE it! Ill def be in for #2!!!!! Can't wait to finish!

Just now getting to an actual COMPUTER where I can see and respond to your spoilers, Trisha!

I was wondering about (view spoiler)[ her brother too. And shame on her dad for not prepping her and keeping her out of these situations! The FBI sucks in this book, lol! I loved Laney, I have a feeling she'll be back, but I'm thinking she won't be so sweet any more. :-( And I don't trust Malloy, but she seems to need him right now.... Also wondering about Raf, and how he's dealing with Kira's "disappearance". (hide spoiler)]

Trisha wrote: "ugh, Ch 29

Yes Trisha. I whole heartedly agree. It's like (view spoiler)[ being in a concentration camp. Right and wrong in there (for the inmates) has to be warped and different from the "outside" world. Ugh, just terrible! (hide spoiler)]

I love this book. It's totally freaking me out! I love that it is combining action and the FBI with my love of YA and paranormal situations! It's the ultimate adventure book for me.

I am sad (view spoiler)[ that Simon died... I was thinking maybe he'd redeem himself at some point, i guess sacrificing himself was that point? (hide spoiler)]

We've had our question about Seamus answered and learned new info about mommy and daddy too. I was disappointed in the interaction with her father. (view spoiler)[ Was hoping he was some mega jacker and they would work together to bring Kestrel down! (hide spoiler)]

I hope everyone else is enjoying themselves as much as I am!

I loved it too!!! I already got &

wanna buddy read 'em? :D

Heck ya! Heck ya! Heck ya! What's your time line for July look like??

we'll have to go late in July
I might be moving that month so I don't want to overbook....

how's any day after 7/21?

I'm completely open that week. so how about we say the 22nd??? Does that work?

I hope your move goes smoothly - I saw in another post that it might be a cross country move? Wow!

Let me know about the 22nd!

The 22nd sounds great! Yes, I may be moving.
cross your fingers for me! I'm really hoping we do!! :D

Are you okay to make the thread or do you want me to??

and are we just setting both of them to buddy read or just 1??

Thanks for taking care of that thread Trisha. I was away from home all evening - my son had a Little League tourney game! It was fabulous and then my daughter need the computer for school...

LOL! I left you a message about the other book in the thread you created! THANKS!

No prob :) it's the easy part, just making the thread! LOL :p
