Just curious, what were people's guesses when the narrator changed in Section 2? Who did you all think it was? I certainly didn't correctly guess, the whole time I was reading the section, I was like "WTH, what happened? Who's this?" LOL

I'm currently in Section 3…this book is quite exciting and I don't even know what about it that keeps me clicking next page on my Nook LOL

I was totally wrong too!!! I knew that character would have to come back at some point (view spoiler)[ because she kept talking about him (hide spoiler)]

Now for some massive section 2 spoilers...(view spoiler)[ What did you think when the guy talking to Ben introduced himself as Vosch?! After they talked about Wonderland being a place where they are fighting the Others and then we see the school busses and then VOSCH shows up!? WHAT?! Don't trust Wonderland! LOL (hide spoiler)]

Spoilers ahead:

Okay now it's good. And I'm at the part with the first kiss with Evan and the only thing I can think is, "You do know you are making out with an alien, right?"

My thought is Evan is the silencer and he's decided to take care of Cassie instead of kill her. Which is sweet, but seriously there is no way that it can last.

Which means a love triangle is coming up with a new hardened military Ben and alien implanted Evan. Sigh.

No clue if any of this is right, but I think it is.

By the way it sucks you can't see spoilers on the goodreads app.

I thought the narrator was (view spoiler)[ Cassie's brother in the future or something bc he said Sissy, but then I realized that it was a younger sister and it would have to be like wayyy in the future lol (hide spoiler)]. I'm loving this book.

I'm loving it too!!!! The narrators identity totally shocked me! I should've expected it but I didn't! Great great writing I think.

[Rie, HecticMultitasking BFF]

I knew it was Ben pretty immediately, but I'm totally disgusted by the (view spoiler)[ little army. Adding a 5 year old into an army is not okay in any way. (hide spoiler)]

[Michelle]

Oh this book is sooo good! I just finish this week's section and it's killing me not to keep reading.

I wasn't expecting to have so many different narrators but I'm loving the amount of depth it adds...but it still manages to keep you just as in the dark about the true intentions of everyone.

At this point I'm just assuming everyone but Cassie is lying, lol. I've become paranoid.

[Melissa, OCD BFF]

Haha I've become paranoid too. The part with Sammy and ben reminded me of Ender's Game. Evan kind of freaks me out. He like creeps outside her door and stuff. But ya I think he's one of The Others too

[Angel, Bossy BFF]

I'm behind on this section *cries* I promise, baring more crazy life things happening I will catch up tomorrow so I can get some serious chat on! ;)

[Angel, Bossy BFF]

I too think that Evan is the Silencer.
I'm so sad that Sam is getting all military tough, but I hope it helps him in the long run.
I did not expect it to be Ben as that narrator!!

[Angel, Bossy BFF]

Also, I'm totally paranoid and keep worrying that the base is ALL aliens and kids they are making to breed or something.

I think the base is all aliens too!!! As soon as Vosch showed up there!

[Melissa, OCD BFF]

I can't decide if I think Evan is an alien or not haha. Part of me thinks he is, but wouldn't he have killed her already and why is he alone? Unless he went awol on his peeps.

I'm thinking it's the Silencer. He was alone in the first place. " Hunting" as he says. I think he found her dying and he was already fascinated by her, he just couldn't leave her. ...Anyone else?

[Michelle]

I think the same thing...or I guess he's just a really creepy human but I would prefer for him to be a Silencer,lol.
