I know...I miss her in buddy reads :(

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh...and Have I mentioned...I love this cover.

I like how the first one was so far away but this one is up close.

[Kathy]

Yes! I love the covers, they're so pretty with all the green and the model is beautiful.

Ugh! Tests! Well I hope she does good on them at least. I miss her in them too, she's so funny! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Wow, can you believe we're going to start the end of this series tomorrow?!?!? Crazy right?

I can't wait!

[Kathy]

I know!! I'm so anxious to know what's going to happen! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh no!!! page 11

(view spoiler)[ "You're using the baby as bait?"
ack!!! OH NO! They've kept Kate from Henry this whole time and not told him!?!?!?!?!?! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

Trisha, I don't like the sound of that "oh no" and already on page 11??? I'm afraid for Kate now!! I haven't really read the summary for it either!! lol

I haven't started yet, I need to finish one (almost done), I have 2 others I'm reading so I may not start till tomorrow. I'll try to get to it tonight though, cause I really really want to hit that spoiler!!! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I refuse to believe that just happened :*(

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I know!!! Already!! it really hits the ground running!!!

chapter 2 and so so so so much has already happened.....

If you don't have lots of time to read, I woudln't start it tonight! LOL! You won't want to put it down :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Okay, 5 chapters in
and I can't believe all that is happening...

so many answers and information at one time

and so much of it just leaves me with more questions!

and the last words on ch 5. I want to throw the book!
ARGH! LOL! I love to hate this one right now :)

[Kathy]

No that's ok, I'll catch up!! It's a short one so it's all good! :)

[Kathy]

Ok wow! Just wow!!!(view spoiler)[ I knew Walter can be a tyrant and a bully but really!!! And good for Ava for standing up to him, I'm so proud of her for that!!! (hide spoiler)]

sorry I'm on chapter 3 now. lol :)

[Kathy]

Ok I'm in the middle of chapter 3

Oh!! Aimee Carter really knows how to get me going with these characters!! I'm going to have to stop for now, I have a headache so I', going to call it a night and I'll read more tomorrow. :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

k goodnight!

I know, first three chapters are rough!
I hope your headache goes away!! :(

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay I just finished chapter 10

and oh man!

Kate (view spoiler)[ I agree with James. she needs to stop trying to be a martyr. I don't understand why she took so long to tell Henry and why she's still not working with him. (hide spoiler)]

Argh! And Cronus, Calliope and Ava. (view spoiler)[ oh man, these guys...awful. hopefully we'll get to know if Calliope is affecting kate and that's why she can't forgive Ava or what's going on (hide spoiler)]

but all in all, I can't say I'm enjoying this book so far. the people are driving me a little crazy !LOL!

[Kathy]

finished chapter 5, thanks I still have it a little bit, it's not as bad as it was this morning though so I'm right now.

Henry (view spoiler)[ When he first came to be with Kate in her visions with Milo...I love that name btw!!...the thought flitted in my mind that it might be Cronus because it would be just like him to do something like that, but then I thought "no, that's Henry!!" (hide spoiler)]

Walter (view spoiler)[ Really? I guess he is that arrogant that he didn't feel the need to tell Kate that he was her father. What a jerk! At least we know now where she gets her tempter from. (hide spoiler)]

I'll be back on this one in a little bit.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol! Now we know where she gets her temper! That's hilarious!!! I didn't even think of that :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, done....let me know when you are too.

I'm curious to see what you think!

[Kathy]

lol I know right!! I'm on chapter 8

I hadn't thought about this before, but Kate brought it up. (view spoiler)[ If she hadn't passed the tests, her mom still would have died and maybe the council would have let her mom visit in her dreams. Maybe!!!???!!! Really! Wow! And her mom would have went along with it??? That's just messed up. (hide spoiler)]

Cronus (view spoiler)[ Playing as Henry? I'm surprised he didn't take everything he could get from Kate! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

right! What Cronus did - fooling her. Doesn't that just make your skin crawl?!?!? yuck

[Kathy]

Yes!! It did! And he is her grandfather!!! Double Yuck!!

I can understand why you weren't enjoying it, cause I'm not really either. Kate with her (view spoiler)[martyr complex and not asking for Henry's help. Also all the fighting, back and forth, back and forth!! Walter and his pigheadedness, Diana and her inability to love her children like she should. Calliope and her mean girl syndrome!! (hide spoiler)]

I just finished chapter 10 I'll try to finish tomorrow. :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Kate drives me CRAZY! YES!! her martyr complex and inability to talk with henry.....I can't see how she STILL has not learned....

bah.

but I am glad I finished the series. They will spend even more time, now, answering some of the questions from the other books! That is kind of nice, that it's wrapped up!

[Kathy]

Well that is good to know, I'm at least glad for that!!

[Kathy]

Trisha, I have no idea how you finished this so fast!! I've about 50 pages left, but good grief it's taking forever!! I'll be done in a little bit! lol :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Lol I just pushed through.....it just drug and drug with bad thing after bad thing.

I hope you like the last part :)

[Kathy]

ok I'm done!! I read your review and I sooo agree!! I don't think I could agree with you more!!!

I have a question. (view spoiler)[Why did Cronus let Kate leave? She went to him per their agreement, Calliope threw a fit, tried to kill her and then he released her!! Why? Did he do it so he could kill more people? (hide spoiler)]

Ava (view spoiler)[ If that wasn't a senseless death then I don't what is!!! It was like she killed herself to get everybody's attention, which to me served no purpose at all! (hide spoiler)]

Rhea (view spoiler)[ Now she decides to step in and control her husband?? *shaking my head* (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I think Cronus late Kate go because he realized she didn't like him the way he thought, so he had no more need for her. That she treated him just like everyone else did and so he wanted her gone

I know...Ava's death just seemed so sad and pointless :(

Ugh, Rhea. Just.....yeah...

I'm glad we're done...but wow. I couldn't believe how many times Kate DIDN'T tell Henry something. was it three times in a row in this book!?!?! And every time they kept something FROM EACH OTHER!!! Ugh, I was so mad. It was like the end of book 2 and all their promises to be together and work on it together were out the window.

and seriously, I was going to toss that book across the room if she said one more time that was all her fault.

I love that James kept calling her on her martyr issues! LOL!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, at least we can check on series off :D LOL

[Kathy]

Yes! Glad for that at least, the series is done! I still think it would have been better as just one book. I liked the whole concept of Henry/Hades needing to find someone else because Persephone wasn't the girl for him and having these girls go through this test to see if they were worthy.

It's just when Cronus was brought into it that everything became messed up! Once he was in the picture and decisions had to be made by the characters for them to stay consistent...because they always acted like children with all the fighting and throwing a fit when they didn't get their way...there was no room for growth, except for Kate!! She was raised as human so she should have matured, but as for the rest of them they were gods and goddesses and titans so of course they thought they could do whatever they wanted!

And James he showed a little growth at least he tried to tell her to knock it off. I also got frustrated with every failed attempt of taking out Cronus Kate would have a crying fit and then someone would something about that not being like her or ask if she's going to do anything about it. It was repetitive and drove me nuts!!

Sorry for the rant, I'm just glad it's over!! lol :)

[Kathy]

BTW did you see the ratings??? They're so high, I don't get it!! lol :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I don't get it either.....

funny you and i had the same rating though! LOL!

[Kathy]

I know! I still felt attached to the characters, I don't know the last 2 books were just disappointing!! I wanted to like it, but it was just annoying!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yeah, I'm with you. just one book would have been sufficient....I'm sad it was stretched into so many just to disappoint us :(

[Kathy]

Yes! Very disappointing! :(
