Vicki’s comments from the Challenge Corner group.

(view spoiler)[I missed the thing about Declan having a brother he couldn't find or it went right over my head. That would've definitely given me more clue because I thought it was Bennett from the get-go, even though I did contemplate the possibility of others. Bennett just seemed the most obvious!

And you're right about her needing counseling. Isn't it true that too often somehow women will find reason for abuse to be their fault? If only I listened more...if only I tried harder not to push his buttons...if only blah blah blah (hide spoiler)]

I liked this one! :)

I'll start this one later today. currently working on school work. . .bleh"

I almost gave it 2 stars, but hopefully you'll like it more than I did.

You know what's funny? I miss being a student. lol I KNOW I can't remember like I used to, but I love learning! I always said I wish I could be a professional student. lol

I did like the end, it wrapped up well

I can't believe Dani was Andrew's secret person he'd fallen in love it. It's a little far fetched but - meh.

I'm so sad this was because of ..."

I think that's what affected me the most is knowing that the entire situation is just entirely realistic and that's (view spoiler)[why it makes it so sad! When I taught high school I had students who'd tell me they were gay but could NEVER tell their dad or mom (sometimes either) or they'd be disowned. I remember one boy in particular who told me he was gay in a "letter" that explained why he'd been so down in the dumps lately that I had noticed. So he said he could tell me in a note if that was okay. Long story short, his parents went to the same church I did and he couldn't tell them but his boyfriend's parents found up and "beat the crap out of him." It's so sad when anyone has to deal with such ignorant people, especially parents who would disown them. (hide spoiler)]

it really is awful what they are going through with Jacob in the hospital

and I feel bad for Dani and her mom not totally believing her. ugh

oooh and how dangerous she's been druggi..."

That would be horrible to (view spoiler)[tell you mom something so serious and have her stick up for your husband anyway. Talk about negating feelings! (hide spoiler)]

Trisha wrote: "30 chapters

yeah, we're dealing with a lot of drama in such a small amount of people
violence, affairs, how was all of this simmering under the surface

and I can't even imagine blowing off drug ..."

I thought he was capable too!

Trisha wrote: "lol I'm not THAT stingy with my stars
these have all just been a little "meh" reads

I really like this author. this one was good!"

I'm just teasing you, Trisha. lol I'm glad you liked this one. I'm smack dab in the middle of it...54%

16 chapters

(view spoiler)[I had the same thoughts, and I've been suspicious of Bennett all along because he seems to always have been gone somewhere. I think it's feasible that either Hope or Valerie could be in it with Bennett for some reason but I'm clueless to be honest. lol (hide spoiler)]

8 chapters

(view spoiler)[FREAKY! I would be SO scared if I realized that someone had put something in my bathroom while I was in the shower. I did see Psycho! lol

I think her new boyfriend is suspicious and so is her brother. I mean, if her brother is a jerk he could've seen something and he'd definitely have access and wouldn't need to "break in."

And yeah, Declan was awful and abusive. Jeez...not that anyone truly deserves to die but... (hide spoiler)]

I'll be reading this one later today. 3 stars? Impressive! lol

Finished

(view spoiler)[Wow! I definitely wasn't expecting Mary to live or Thomas to be murdered! I felt awful about that!(view spoiler)[

Had a hard time deciding how to rate this one. I was wavering between a 2 and 3 but decided on 3 because I did like it but didn't love it. (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch 36

(view spoiler)[Obviously Frost wasn't the killer for sure on the previous women unless Simon is a copycat killer. But the murders a brutal! (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch 24

OMG (view spoiler)[I can't believe how crooked these "cops" are, especially Joe setting up Thomas the way he did. And did Simon really kill Kelly Scott? Hmm (hide spoiler)]

I ended up liking it. I hope you like it more than you think you are going to.

Through Ch 12

(view spoiler)[Wow! Joe is not a good person! He used Thomas's gun to shoot their suspect, but it sounds like maybe he's innocent. So I wonder what crooked game Joe's playing! I hope that Detective Mansfield is a good detective because I have a feeling Thomas is going to need help! (hide spoiler)]

Frost (view spoiler)[appears to be innocent, but whoever killed Kelly and those other 3 women...OMG! What a despicable human being! (hide spoiler)]

Finished

Lindsey(view spoiler)[ I'm glad she finally "let go" and dealt with the reality of Jacob's situation. But I was shocked how she hit him hard enough to leave marks (that might've been in the last section). (hide spoiler)]

Dani (view spoiler)[It would take a lot to deal with the knowledge that your son shot and killed another person, so I feel for her. At least she is still separated from Bryan, thank God! (hide spoiler)]

Kendra (view spoiler)[Giving Sawyer Adderall and behind her husband's back...OMG! Not good at all! (hide spoiler)]

The boys (view spoiler)[what a sad but all too often true scenario in many ways. It's too bad they didn't feel comfortable telling their parents what was going on. They might've been able to help them deal with their feelings in a healthy way :( (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch 45

(view spoiler)[Ugh...such a horribly sad situation with Jacob and his family! I still don't know what to think about how Sawyer was shot and killed. Caleb is the ONLY one who can talk but won't so I hope they do get to the bottom of it because I don't want to be left hanging! (hide spoiler)]

Through 30

Bryan (view spoiler)[needs to go to jail! He's a wife and child abuser! Ugh! How horrible to be scared to death to go against what your husband/dad wants you to do/say! (hide spoiler)]

Andrew (view spoiler)[has a "friend" online. I would be upset too because anything you have to HIDE in my opinion is nothing good! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Secrets always come out eventually. I still don't know what to believe about that night, but Caleb definitely has anger problems. (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch 15

Oh, my heart!

Kendra (view spoiler)[I can't completely understand her since I've never lost a child, but my heart breaks for her for sure! I hate the way she talks about and to Reese though. I feel for him! (hide spoiler)]

Lindsey (view spoiler)[I obviously feel the same for her...just heart-broken! I pray to God that I never have to be in a situation like that with a loved one. It would be SO hard to accept the doctors' prognosis but I'm pretty sure he's not going to live. (hide spoiler)]

Dani (view spoiler)[I would probably get a lawyer under the circumstances too! Especially since if Caleb were to be guilty of anything he could be tried as an adult. Just a horrible overall situation! I feel bad for all 3 women. (hide spoiler)]

Jacob, Caleb, and Sawyer(view spoiler)[I doesn't appear likely that Sawyer committed suicide! I don't know who/what to believe as of yet but I hope that somehow the shooting was completely accidental. I wonder if Caleb might have done something and is too afraid of his dad to tell the truth. I even had a split thought of Bryan doing it cuz he's such a jerk! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Final comments...I have to agree with you on all of your comments.

(view spoiler)[I had a lot of my predictions right but I did think Max was Mantis, not Moss! But it was confusing in too many ways with all of the "nicknames" and hard to keep track of. (hide spoiler)]

That’s awesome! I’m glad you had time with your hubby. And I appreciate the comment that you put at the bottom because it helps me feel not quite so stupid lol
