[Trinity]

I really want to read the next book, but I forgot so much about the first one! I'll join you guys! It'll be a re-read for me though :)

[Kathleen]

Can I join you guys? I've wanted to read this for a long time=)

[Heather]

yay and we were thinking if we love this one enough we will continue the series!

[Heather]

Yes Kathleen of course you can join!

[Rachael]

Hey guys.. This has been on my to-read for soooo long and I had some time open up so I'm gonna jump in on this one.. I started today so I'm a little early but I'm excited to discuss it!

[Rachael]

Intro (view spoiler)[ I love death cab for cutie! Haha (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ Wow! They both died! That was fast... (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ oh yeah.. Noah Shaw.. British accent, arrogant attitude, long hair that he runs his fingers through.. I'm in love (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ I have a feeling that Rachel Claire and Jude aren't actually dead.. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ I think Claire has a big part in the building collapsing.. Maybe she's a witch or something? Why did that Oijui board say "M-A" when she asked how she was gonna die? I really have no idea what kind of paranormal is going on yet but obviously weird things are happening. I think Noah is part of that paranormal world too.. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ So I'm thinking Mara has some type of mind control? She thought about that dog owner needing to die and then he did... She thought about unlocking the door and it opened on it's own. This was a weird weird chapter (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Anna's a bitch. The way Noah handled that drama was sooo sexy (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ Of course he plays guitar and has rows and rows of books in his room.. Another episode of falling in love with a fictional male character. Oh and he's rich and likes death cab for cutie? Marry me now (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 39 (view spoiler)[ okay so she heals super fast and is obviously more fluent in Spanish than even she knows... So what is she!?! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 44 (view spoiler)[ wow Mara really has to be careful about the things she says and think cause they all seem to come true (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 46 (view spoiler)[ okay doesn't Mara wonder why Noah knows her brother is missing at 1 in the morning and why they are swimming through a swamp to find him? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 51 (view spoiler)[ okay so we finally got some answers and now I'm even more confused then normal (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 58 (view spoiler)[ Wow that's brave of her.. She's going to turn herself into the cops? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Okay I thought so but now I have a whole bunch more questions.. I still don't understand what Mara is or why she is the way she is... I will definitely be reading the rest of the series... 4 stars! (hide spoiler)]

[sam]

i'm in for july 12th!

[Presiana]

Okay, I'm starting this tonight since I have tons of things to do tomorrow and probably won't find much time for reading.. :/
I think it's in chapters but I'm not so sure since there is just a number and it isn't on a new page... I'm reading it as an ebook. It starts pretty good... a little confusing.
Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ "I grabbed the sides of the machine and tried to shake it. Then I kicked it. Still Nothing." Hahaha I can't stop laughing!! This happens to me every day at school... it's awful seeing your food stuck in the machine like that! :D
Aww who is this boy with British accent. The way she described him sounded just perfect! (hide spoiler)]

[Princess]

I'm joining :) Starting it now

[Princess]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I didn't know that this is about ghosts lol (hide spoiler)]

[Princess]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ What if Noah Shaw died because of Cancer? I'm thinking about that (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ This is my problem with people. They're bringing destruction to themselves (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ kudos to Mara's psychiatrist. I think she's one of the best fictional psychiatrist ever (hide spoiler)]

[Princess]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ Noah Shaw is killing me (in a good way) I wish I have someone like that who will protect me (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ I kinda predicted that he will introduce her to his parents (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

I'm starting it now!

[sam]

CH1-CH6
(view spoiler)[Definitely an interesting start. I've never read a book about PTSD before so I'm intrigued. I wonder how Mara caused Claire and Rachels deaths? That is if the Quiji board was right. (hide spoiler)]

Me too, this is my first read which is something like that.

[Princess]

Chapter 34 (view spoiler)[ I thought when Noah punched Kent is kinda shallow (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

The cover is beyond beautiful, love the title as well but not sure about the story. Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ it's really intriguing and creepy. I can't even imagine how horrible it is when your mind is tricking you. But I get distracted easily. I had to go back and re-read the pages few times. I can't get lost in it. <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

Samantha wrote: "CH1-CH6

Same here.

[Ekaterine]

13% (view spoiler)[ So Noah knows what she is?<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ Is it about ghosts or they aren't dead? I feel like Jude isn't at least. (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

I wanted to join this buddy read so bad but I can't find a copy of the book :((((

[Ekaterine]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ What the hell is Claire's problem?! I want to punch her so much.

I feel insta-love coming on. Hate those types. Noah is super obnoxious, but manages to be cute time to time. So Mara killed that guy or ? I'm confused.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

31% This book is freaking me out...

[Ekaterine]

63% (view spoiler)[ I got really into it. I'm flying through the chapters, but I don't have big love for Mara. I hate that she doesn't stand up for herself. I hate that Noah has do depened her "honor". It's not romantic. It makes Mara look like damsel in distress and I don't like those type of MCs.

I'm kind of tired of not knowing what's going on. And book is moving slower than tuttle on the mystery part. It's all about romance and Mara having hallucinations. I would like to know what is it all about and have some normal clues. Tired of feeling confused. <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[sam]

CH7-CH12
(view spoiler)[How is it that he died exactly the way Mara imagined? She was in school when it happened so it couldnt have been her. Im thinking Jude might be a legit ghost. Plus they didnt say anything about finding his body. (hide spoiler)]

[sam]

CH13
(view spoiler)[I dont do good with animal cruelty so Imhappy that Mara took the dog and that Noah is willing to help. She did take a dog from a crime scene though so im sure there will be reprecussions (hide spoiler)]

[Presiana]

15% (view spoiler)[ So Noah knows something about her? I don't really like him yet... and this book is so confusing.. (hide spoiler)]
chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ What?! She imagined him dying and now he is actually dead? (hide spoiler)]
chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Now she says that she'd never met that man and it was all just a hallucination... this book is making me crazy seriously what is happening? (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Are there people reading this? I would love to join. :)

[Presiana]

I'm reading it at the moment but I'm going a bit slow because I am preparing for a school trip and don't have much time to read... you can still join and I'm sure you will probably even finish it before me. :D

[Ekaterine]

You and me both. I have no idea what just happened. It really is confusing.

[Ekaterine]

I finished it, not sure if I liked it. Ghosts and hallucinations were cool and spooky. But the book so confusing I didn't even know what I was reading.

I completely agree. I just finished it and I'm so confused at what I read. To me, it felt like the author tried to do too much.

Agreed. I think she tried to create mystery by using confusion and it backfired on her. She should have given us more information and make it less predictable. I seriously have no idea what this book was about. And I already forgot the half of it. :)

[Lara]

I'm 50% through its not my usual sort of thing but I'm actually really enjoying it :)
