[Becky]

Please feel free to join Gis and me reading this Stacey Kade book!

[Gisbelle]

I'm so excited!

[Becky]

Me too! Just put it on hold at the library, I'll have it by this weekend, so I'll be ready!

[Gisbelle]

:D great! I hope it's good. I've been reading too many awfully written books later.

[Kathy]

I want to read this one! But my library doesn't have it!! So I have to go through inner library loan and it will take at least a month before I see it! But I hope you guys enjoy it! I'll check out your reviews and hopefully it's a good one!! :)

[Kathy]

I got my copy today!!! If I can catch up on my reading I'll read with you!! Yay! :)

Whoot!!!!!

[Kathy]

I know! I tried once and couldn't get it and tried again about a month later and I got it!! I'm so excited!! lol :D

[Becky]

Whoot!!!!!

[Vicki]

Okay, got my book so I am in too! YAY!!!

[Becky]

Whoot, we're reading fools!

[Kathy]

You are not kidding Becky!! lol! :D

[Vicki]

Haha! Who needs sleep when there are books to read & buddy reads to join? Lol

[Becky]

Ok, can't wait to start this one tomorrow! :-) Imma move the thread now while I'm awake so it will be there for you night owls, lol!

[Gisbelle]

lol hoot hoot ;) I can't wait to read it either.

[Vicki]

Haha, Becky! You have me pegged! I never go to bed anymore until 2-4 AM, but a lot of the time I fall asleep on my couch reading. Lol

[Becky]

Ok guys, I'm getting ready to start this! :-)

[Becky]

I'm on page 49 and this book is really different. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

[Becky]

Loving Zane's point of view... Not sure about Ariane's yet.

[Becky]

Also, I hate the cover... just saying.

[Kathy]

I'll start later tonight! :)

[Kathy]

I didn't get to start! I'll start tomorrow! :)

[Becky]

Ok, I'm over half way - and that was just from after work yesterday, lol.

I'll admit it I'm hooked. And I have to thank Gis for asking for a BR for this one - I hate the cover so much I never would have read it without a BR.

I'm not sure where it's going, due to her need to be inconspicuous (which she is now failing miserably at) but parts of it are hysterical and i just LOVE Zane. He's the kind of character I love.

Can't wait to see what happens!

[Becky]

Well well well, this is majorly interesting!

(view spoiler)[Loved that kiss between Zane and Ariane, esp since he knew it was her fist kiss and he was so sweet about it! I just love him... hope he doesn't let me down.... (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

Ok, I finished! It was FANTASTIC! I hope you all start it soon, because you will not be disappointed, despite the HORRIBLE cover!

[Vicki]

Haha, I'm a cover snob!!! Okay, I'm on page 20. Lol

It was a bit slow for the first few chapters - hang in there, it doesn't take long and wow!

Here's my review if you care: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Vicki]

Of course I care, and I read it and loved it! You convinced me to give it an honest shot!

[Kathy]

Sorry I'm just starting! I know what you mean about the cover!!! Her eyes are really weird! It reminds me of the cover from and it kind of creeps me out!!! lol! :D

[Gisbelle]

Sorry to flake out on you guys. I'll start tomorrow.

I'm glad you loved it Becky! I think the cover is ok, not pretty, but acceptable :)

[Kathy]

That's ok Gisbelle, I just started tonight and I'm only on chapter 4!

I like Ariane (view spoiler)[ she stood up for Jenna when she knew it would cause problems for her, but did it anyway! (hide spoiler)]

The jury is still out on Zane (view spoiler)[ but at least he's trying to make Rachel's plans for Ariane fail(?) or lessen them(?), whatever it is he's doing at least he's doing something! (hide spoiler)]

I don't like Rachel...at all! I cannot wait til she has met her demise!!!

Zane turned out to be my FAVORITE character! I hope you warm up to him!

Oh, and as much as I hate Rachel, I mean HATE, her Grandfather is WORSE, much much worse! ACK!

[Becky]

And here is #2, do NOT read the synopsis until AFTER you finish RULES!!!!

- April 22 of 2014, lovely.....

[Vicki]

Oh, Becky, such a temptress! Of course I want to look now, but I'll TRY to refrain. Lol

[Gisbelle]

Still in chapter 1. I like the writing style. Simple and easy to understand

[Kathy]

Ok 10 chapters in and the pages are really flying!

Zane (view spoiler)[ Ok, his character is looking better and it doesn't hurt that he wants to stick it to Rachel!! His mom left on his birthday? How sad!! His dad is awful!! (hide spoiler)]

Ariane (view spoiler)[ I hope she knows what she is doing! GAH!! This could go really really bad though! As much as I hate Rachel, Mr. Jacobs, her grandfather scares the living daylights out of me! (hide spoiler)]

Jenna (view spoiler)[ I can't believe she could be so clueless!! And break up with Ariane! (hide spoiler)]

Zane [spoilers removed]

Ariane [spoilers removed]

Jenna [spoilers removed]"

yes

yes

and yes!!!!!

:-)

[Gisbelle]

I'm pretty slow. In chapter 4 now.
Zane (view spoiler)[ I really like him when he kinda volunteered to take Adiane out. At least we know that he is a good guy, sort of. (hide spoiler)]
Adriane (view spoiler)[ I haven't read a book with heroine with superpower for a while. I love her. She's such a great friend too. I can't imagine living a life that has to hear people's thoughts all the time like hers. It's exhausting. (hide spoiler)]
Rachel (view spoiler)[ is dead to me! I hate this girl. Why do all popular girls in books have such stinky personalities? (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Lol! Such a great book, right? Can't wait to finish it.

[Vicki]

Still in ch. 2 lol

[Becky]

So glad you guys are loving it too!

Completely agree with these! :-)

[Kathy]

16 chapter in

Zane is so funny! And so is Ariane! (view spoiler)[ bog and dears and the stuffing incedent?? Hilarious! (hide spoiler)]

Rachel (view spoiler)[ HAHAHAHA!! Serves her right to be to pelted with shaving cream! (hide spoiler)]

I'm worried about (view spoiler)[ her dad and everything going on at GTX. Why didn't he know about the cameras? Why the double shift? What is going on? (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

OMG, I was ROLLING at that Activities fair part! Especially in the parking lot with that nibby lady before they went in! It was effin HYSTERICAL!

Rachel sooooooooooooo deserved that!

And I was VERY VERY worried about her dad too - too unusual I think!

[Kathy]

Yes!! I wanted to (view spoiler)[ slap that lady! I mean who was she that she could talk to Zane that way?!?! What a B!!! (hide spoiler)]

I'm also worried about (view spoiler)[ Zane's dad! What if he finds out about Ariane and tell Dr. Jacobs?? That would be really bad bad bad! (hide spoiler)]

[Becky]

Kathy wrote: "Yes!! I wanted to [spoilers removed]

I'm also worried about [spoilers removed]"

I also hate Zane's dad. I think in his own way he's just as evil as Dr. Jacobs... There's a reveal about him later that makes you hate him EVEN MORE, as if that were possible!

[Kathy]

Really? Dang it! Well I guess you wouldn't expect that he would get better! :(

Too True... I'm seriously glad we never meet the brother - Quinn was his name?
