The Darkest Minds Series By Alexandra Bracken - Restarting from 'Never Fade' from November 20th 2018

[onceuponatimeareview]

Yes it does

[Rachael]

To trust the doctor, or not to trust the doctor.. hmmm

[Rachael]

I don't know what Ruby is so scared of Cate when she's clearly trying to help her?

[Rachael]

Chapter 8- finally some action, hopefully answers?

[Rachael]

Okay so I have a theory about the colors... I think Reds can do something yellows can do something and blues can do something.. Orange can do two things (red and yellow) and green can do two thing (blue and yellow)

Okay just a guess? We'll see

[Christina]

I like your theories but yes keep reading :) I didn't think there was much action throughout the book :(

[Rachael]

Chapter 10: I just don't see how this could work out in the long run.. I don't get their plan, find the slip kid and then what? They seem pretty out numbered

[Marga]

I loved this book! It was pretty slow at for first but it's full of action after that. The ending broke my heart :(

I finished this yesterday and I so agree!!! The ending… the feels… Ahhhhhhh I can't wait for the second one

[Rachael]

Ah the message on the radio station! So exciting!

I'm still kinda bored and a little confused but let's get on with it.

[Rachael]

Ruby's power is just such a mystery... I wish she'd stop being such a pansy about it and just fess up to it... Why does she have to lie about it? If she wants so bad to "protect everyone" why can't she just be honest?

[Rachael]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ The bit with her parents is sooooo weird! The fact that they just woke up one day and didn't remember her?? I'm so confused... (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I love Suzume and her name.. I can see her being a big part of the rest of the series.. I totally ship Ruby & Liam but I think they have weird taste in music lol

[Rachael]

Chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ I'm interested in Clancy Gray's role in all this... The presidents SON!? hmm (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Hmm do I see a love triangle in the making? Idk

[Rachael]

Mhhhm I thought so ;) Who did you guys like more Clancy or Liam?

[Rachael]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Nooooo Zu :( (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

I'm def team Liam

[Christina]

Definitely team Liam
Clancy no wayyy!

[Rachael]

OMG this last chapter though! Liam... I'm dying.. Sadness and happiness and ugh

[Rachael]

Ahhhh I just finished it and my face is like =-0 !!! I can't believe she did that... I was literally gonna give this book 3 stars for 80% of the time but in the 20% of the time that it was good it was REALLY good.

The characters are so lovable and I HAVE to find out what happens so I will be reading the next one soon :)

[Christina]

Totally agree! It was on a 3 stars for so long because it was just plain boring but then whoa... You defintely got through this book quicker than I did! :D

[Rachael]

I really rushed through it to get it done for the challenge lol

[Christina]

With a few hours to spare haha
And you did quality updates! Good job!

[Rachael]

Haha thanks!!

Omg I just saw that book number 2 in this series is titled Never Fade... as in she will Never Fade from his memories ugh melt my heart.

Have you read it yet?

[Christina]

Good observation :*(
No I haven't. We can buddy if you want!
I just hope it isn't 80% drag and 20% epicness again

[Rachael]

Yah me too.. I can see how it could be though but I'll cross my fingers.. Wanna read it April 25th?

[Christina]

Sure, lock it in

[Maddie]

Finally started this up again. Page 12. Liking it so far!

(view spoiler)[I think that she can compell people with her mind. And maybe read minds? Because she saw the guy's memories. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Christina wrote: "I reread the last part of chapter 2 again because i wasn't entirely sure I got it the first time

I think my initial thought was wrong and [spoilers removed]

Correct me if I'm wrong! :)"

(view spoiler)[I don't think that she went into the scanner. She seemed really panicked and I think she just told the man to put her in category Green because it's the least dangerous. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Oh and I might try and read Never Fade with you guys! It's due back soon lol.

[Maddie]

Page 55 (view spoiler)[Wait so now she's Orange? That was a really quick alert! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Maddison
Yay :) Interested to see how you find it!

[Maddie]

Christina wrote: "Ooh things are a little clearer
End of chapter four: so the kids marked orange are the more dangerous ones
And I guess I was right the first time that she somehow tricked the doctor into believing ..."

(view spoiler)[Yeah I hope so too. But I automatically assumed that red was the worst colour. Maybe it's orange? (hide spoiler)] I'm really liking it so far!

[Maddie]

Christina wrote: "End of chapter seven:
Some hope with the League but she read Rob's memories of shooting a girl and boy point blanc...Are they good or bad? Cate seemed like a really nice girl though

And Martin.. u..."

(view spoiler)[Yeah I dunno what's up with Rob and Cate. I think Rob's evil, but Idk about Cate. I hope she turns out to help them.

And I understand that the PSFs seperated the boys and girls, but I doubt all the guys would be such creeps! He's just creepy! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Hey guys.. We're a little behind but everyone still gonna squeeze this in this month? I'm gonna start today

[Rachael]

Man they really just throw you right back into the story.. I'm still confused and don't remember what the colors all mean.. I don't even remember if we found out what the colors all mean. There's new characters that I don't recognize and I'm trying to remember if we met them in the last book or not.. Like Alban? And Nico?

Anyways.. We'll see if it clears up

[Rachael]

Ohhhh yah.. Okay Alban is (view spoiler)[ the leader of the Children's League and is Nico the slip kid? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ okkkk so Cole (Liam's brother) is in a wheelchair? And snuck up on her? Hmm seems unlikely (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Okay nvm he's not in a wheelchair idk where I got that

[Rachael]

Through Chapter 7... bored

[Ananya]

Hey!I hops I'm not late to the party.....gonna start the book today

[Christina]

@Rachael
Sorry for scheduling buddy reads with you and not doing them T__T I've been busier this month and haven't been reading as much as I'd like to.
Apologies. I hope you enjoy this!

[Rachael]

No worries, I know how it goes :)

[Rachael]

I'm through Chapter 12 but I'm soo bored

[Rachael]

Some dirty language in this one! lol

[Rachael]

I'm over 50% into this book and there has been NO mention of Liam's memories being erased... That's annoying, the author isn't good and flashing back to the first book to remind us what happened. I don't think I'm a fan of hers

[Rachael]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ FINALLY! This is the part I've been waiting for, the main reason I decided to move on with this series.. BECAUSE SHE WILL NEVER FADE FROM HIS MEMORIES DUH (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Through Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ UGH sometimes I just want to pick Ruby up and shake her! She's so frustrating.. Sometimes she seems to forget that she has these abilities.. She's not in touch with them. Other people seem to discredit her abilities and she needs to use that to her advantage instead she's kinda just being a pansy little girl who's always scared (hide spoiler)]
