Thank you Kathy!! hope we do too:)

Already read. Its amazing. Good chouce. I will keep s eye on thid group. You suggested really good books.

I am in this series sounds good.

I loved this book! If you ladies get to book 2, I'll join. I might pop on over and discuss with you too, but I'll have to see how my time goes.

Can't wait to start this tomorrow :)

yay me too!!!

so looks like we've got 47 chapters and about 400 pages...

how often do we want to come back?

every 5-10? what do you guys think? =)

every 5 chapters sounds good to me.

10 chapters in and so far I am liking this one.

Chloe (view spoiler)[ I think it would be hard and scary to be sent away because she is seeing ghosts and then deal with being told they think she has schizophrenia. I would like to learn more about the ghosts she are seeing though I am sure there are stories behind each one. (hide spoiler)]

I want to learn more about (view spoiler)[the other patients that are there as well. Especially Derek. (hide spoiler)]

Yay! I'm getting ready to start! :D

okay, I'm 10 chapters in

lol I totally agree (view spoiler)[ I want to know more about Derek and Simon too!!!
and Tori seems like she's rude but I think she just lacks a filter - she's blunt
(hide spoiler)]

Liz (view spoiler)[ HOLY CRAP!She died?!?! (hide spoiler)]

Chloe (view spoiler)[ wow, I'm not sure which is scarier
to be diagnosed Schizophrenic, I would have a really tough time.
But the alternative - that you really do see ghosts

yikes, that's just a tough life in general. (hide spoiler)]

and I can't help but wonder (view spoiler)[ why she saw ghosts, it went away and then she went back to seeing ghosts

was it tied to her hormones/puberty?? (hide spoiler)]

it's pretty good so far!

I like it so far too.

I know that scene with Liz (view spoiler)[shocking, it sure appears that she died. (hide spoiler)]

One thing I wonder is if (view spoiler)[everyone there is dead? I'm not sure what to think. This place is weird, will help to learn more information (hide spoiler)]

Amanda wrote: "I like it so far too.

I know that scene with Liz [spoilers removed]

One thing I wonder is if [spoilers removed]"

wow! (view spoiler)[ you think all the kids are dead? has she touched anyone yet?

oh wait...she did! she touched Simon or...Derek? one of them blocked her way into a room
but wouldn't it be interesting if they all saw dead people??

maybe some of them are dead and some aren't....wow, I hadn't even thought about it! Great thinking! (hide spoiler)]

It would be interesting if (view spoiler)[they all saw dead people. It was a thought they all could be dead, will be interesting to learn more about each of them though. The ones I really want to know more information about are Derek and Simon (hide spoiler)]

15 chapters in so far.

Derek (view spoiler)[gets more interesting. If he has such a violent temper why is he still there. Would like to learn more about that and more about Simon (hide spoiler)]

20 chapters in.

Simon (view spoiler)[wow, okay so Simon knows how to do magic. Glad to have more information about that, now we just need more info about Derek (hide spoiler)]

I didn't get to start yesterday, barely had any time but I'm starting now and will check back in to read spoilers, post my own and whatnot =)

10 chapters in,

Chloe, (view spoiler)[there must be some sort of logic explanation to what she is though? It can't just be that she's schizophrenic, as for the ghost seeing..I'm confused like does she only see people-that-have-died ghosts? because then Liz is gone, but I don't know yet..kinda hoping she isn't dead so early in the book. (hide spoiler)]

Chloe's mum/twelve years earlier thing, (view spoiler)[there has to be some sort of connection to all of this, why would Chloe's mum tell her to stay away from the basement..was the dead hanging man real or just Chloe seeing a ghost at young age?

If the dead man was real what was he doing down there, most important of all did Chloe's mum know anything about this? I find it really hard to believe that both parents have no idea, there must be someone in that family that knows something (hide spoiler)]

The Lyle Home/the nurses (view spoiler)[do they know something? If Tori overheard them saying Chloe sees dead ghosts, then there must be something going on here? I don't know but it's just that why on earth are everyone "clueless", I'm so frustrated hahaha I need answers.

The nurses just seem downright fishy and I need more info on them. (hide spoiler)]

Really enjoying it so far and it's funnily enough giving me the American Horror Story- vibe :-)

I got the same vibe Alexa. I love American Horror story and this was reminding me of it at times, it has a lot of the same creepy factor.

I agree I think that (view spoiler)[that 12 years earlier scene has a connection. I think that guy hanging in the basement she saw was a ghost, probably a guy that committed suicide. Not entirely sure though (hide spoiler)]

okay, I'm 20 chapters in and totally hoooked

it's hard to stop! LOL!

although I don't feel like I have many more answers than either of you!

YES! American Horror story vibe BIG TIME! LOL! That's funny Alexa!

I know I am hooked too. I am 31 chapters in so far.

Tori (view spoiler)[just when I start to feel the slightest bit if sympathy for her with the way her mom was treating her, she goes and locks Chloe in the crawl space. That Tori is just awful. (hide spoiler)]

Derek (view spoiler)[I wonder why he is so insistent on staying behind while Simon goes and looks for their father. I think there is more that he is hiding. (hide spoiler)]

There are still lots of answers that I would like to have.

36 chapters in.

Things keep getting interesting (view spoiler)[Chloe being told she is too strong. Lyle house having all those dead bodies in the crawl space and they were all people with supernatural talents. It's gotta be more than a coincidence that these kids with these talents end up on this house where people like them were murdered. (hide spoiler)]

Derek (view spoiler)[I wonder what supernatural talent he has. We have not been told yet and he has been acting weird lately. I hope that he goes with Chloe and Simon I don't think he is safe at Lyle house either (hide spoiler)]

Finished.

This was such a good book, I really enjoyed it.

Derek (view spoiler)[I was starting to wonder if he was going to be a werewolf. I can't imagine the pain that the change process would be like. (hide spoiler)]

Chloe (view spoiler)[that would be so hard to find out that your Aunt betrayed you. I hope that she can find a way to get out and catch back up with Simon and Derek. (hide spoiler)]

After that ending I definitely want to continue on with this series. Can't wait to see what you guys think.

okay, I'm 31 chapters in
I hope to finish this tomorrow

Derek (view spoiler)[ I totally agree. I think Derek is hiding something. but I think, right now, I almost like him more than Simon....something is off here and I just can't tell what it is... (hide spoiler)]

Tori (view spoiler)[ OMG what was that?!? she is HORRIBLE and frightening! (hide spoiler)]

there are so many questions still and I feel like there's something HUGE (view spoiler)[ Simon isn't telling us.... (hide spoiler)]

So glad you enjoyed it Amanda!! I'm hoping to finish this tomorrow, going to read to chapter 30 and catch up on the spoilers in a bit. I seriously had no idea things would be so hectic this week!!

That's okay Alexa take your time. We had a snowstorm where I live and have been snowed in the past couple of days so I've had nothing but time to read.

Okay, I'm done

I with you Amanda, I really really liked it

Chloe (view spoiler)[ OMG her aunt. I can't believe that. I really thought she'd help them :( (hide spoiler)]

Derek (view spoiler)[ he's my favorite. I don't know, I don't care that he's grumpy. I think he's a nicer person than Simon and I don't even know why. I just don't like Simon too much... and man, Derek has been through so much. (hide spoiler)]

Simon (view spoiler)[ I don't know what it is...I just..he's not my favorite. He's just been too...smooth... I don't know. I even know Derek was one that manipulated Chloe but...I feel like Simon has done more..and I don't have any proof (hide spoiler)]

I'm so in on book 2!!! I can't wait!

Glad that you liked it Trisha.

Derek (view spoiler)[it's interesting I liked Simon from the start but as the book went on the more Derek grew on me and by the end I like him more than Simon. I agree Derek has been through a lot (hide spoiler)]

Simon (view spoiler)[you may be on to something I wonder if he used his magic somehow on Chloe to manipulate her in ways. Maybe we will find out more in the next book (hide spoiler)]

Chloe (view spoiler)[I know her aunt was awful I thought that she would help them too (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to read the next book either :)

When Alexa finishes do we want to schedule a day for the next book?

Yes! Definitely!
In February?

February would work for me.

Please don't leave me out for book 2!!!

wow okay sorry guys, ABOUT time I'm finished and I've got one word to say: WOW.

I LOVED it, especially the last few chapters, could barely put it down!

Chloe's Aunt (view spoiler)[ I did not see that one coming so what the heck what a shocker?! I cant believe that she would do that to Chloe...so much for her Aunt ''understanding'' her- being a reliable person. (hide spoiler)]

Rae (view spoiler)[what happened? Sue just put her in the waiting room...but WHAT HAPPENS TO RAE OMG, I hope she shuts up about her fire thingy so they dont get to her too...

Other than that I actually like her, more than I like Simon but I didn't like how she was insisting on Chloe forgetting about Derek/Simon coming back for her/(them)...is she jealous? I dont know really but whatever it is, Rae is what Chloe needs, a friend! (hide spoiler)]

Derek (view spoiler)[ I agree Trisha!!!! I prefer Derek over Simon as you said he just seems too smooth - and yeah Amanda, maybe he used magic? That's a great theory.. like you never know (hide spoiler)]

Simon (view spoiler)[ feeling really indifferent towards him
really he's just meh. hopefully his character will make a better impression on me in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

I want to meet more (view spoiler)[supernaturals (hide spoiler)], I seriously hope the next book could introduce new characters w/ other ''powers'' we have yet to see.. I mean how awesome wouldn't that be?!

Can we schedule this as soon as everyone has time in February?? I mean with that ending I neeeed the next book ASAP =)
What a great read guys!! eheh!

I would love to see more characters with different powers too.

I am wide open in February, so whatever date works for everyone else is okay with me. I am eager to read the next book as well.

Same, I've only got 1 buddy read scheduled in February so any date works for me!

wow so many novellas?? are we going to read the #1.5 now and just discuss it or right before we read #2?
Oh and have you guys read the synopsis of the second book?

let's plan on 1.5 just before 2
I'm pretty booked this month
but I'm good next month. maybe read 1.5 and 2 at the beginning??

just pick a day :)

Yeah reading 1.5 right before book 2 sounds good to me.

How about February 1st or 2nd?

2nd works great for me!

Hello everyone. I am IN for 1.5 and 2...don't leave me alone! LOL

Is the 2nd official?

Yeah it works for me too, if it works for you Vicki then it's official! Yay! :D
