(view spoiler)[ Adam has never been that great of a choice either come to think of it. He's always had that side to him that you constantly think what the heck. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I'm having a tough time just accepting that now Warner is good and Adam is the complete jerk in this one. Let's move onto the war and fighting the reestablishment please. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Glad you enjoyed it. I should have listened to the warnings that it became character based. Would have preferred less love triangle and more plot. (hide spoiler)]

I totally agree.. (view spoiler)[The ending was abrupt and I wish this series was one more book longer so the fight would be more thrilling.. I also loved Juliette in this book.. In Kenji's words she had her big-girl pants on and it was a shame that it was only for this book we see this development (hide spoiler)]

[Morgan]

Ch. 7 (view spoiler)[ I love that we finally got this backstory with Warner's mom. It really explains a lot about his personality and his motivations. And now him and Juliette are gonna take down the Reestablishment together! (hide spoiler)]

[Morgan]

Ch. 18 (view spoiler)[ Kenji is back! I'm so happy to see Kenji again I really missed his banter. I need Warner to come back though. I'm really enjoying this reunion scene even though I still don't like Adam lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Morgan]

Ch. 20 (view spoiler)[ Warner is back! (hide spoiler)]

[Morgan]

Ch. 26 (view spoiler)[ 1) This is why no one likes you, Adam. 2) Kenji is the best and nothing better happen to him. (hide spoiler)]

[Morgan]

Ch. 33 (view spoiler)[ Well Adam managed to be even more of a douchebag than I thought possible. Hopefully this opens the path for the Warner and Juliette ship to set sail. I feel so bad for Warner, I wish Juliette would figure out how she feels about him. I'm excited that the whole gang is going to be in the same building. Adam better not try to tag along or mess anything up 😡 (hide spoiler)]

[Morgan]

Ch. 42 (view spoiler)[ Why do I have a feeling that Adam is going to mess this up for everyone? (hide spoiler)]

[Morgan]

Done (view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed how this book ended although I feel like the ending could have been drawn out a little more. I'm happy that everyone survived because I was scared for Kenji for awhile there. Overall, I really enjoyed this book, I thought the characters were fleshed out very well in this book. My only complaint is that the ending is very open ended. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ See, Warner isn't a bad guy! He's sweet and lonely and does what he has to do. And Kenji has returned. He is my 2nd favorite character. I love how much of a smartass he is and again, telling Juliet the truth and not treating her like she's perfect or delicate. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 32 (view spoiler)[ I am a broken record. I LOVE Warner! He lays himself bare to Juliette and sje keeps thinking the worst about him. Or can't 'understand' her feelings for him. Ugh! Also, Adam is a dick. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 50 (view spoiler)[ Oh Warner 😢 This guy can't catch a break. And Adam, being his normal douchey self. I do like James and how cute he can be. I feel like the plot has not moved this whole time, so here's to the last 100 pages that will contain all the action! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished!! (view spoiler)[ Juliet finally killed that dick! And she and Warner are together, I'm so happy. It makes me a little worried for Restore Me, because if anything happens to Warner I will be devastated! (hide spoiler)]

[Linaria]

I'm a bit late, but joining in :) You really see the difference in Warner in this book.

[Aly]

Definitely! I love him

[Linaria]

I'm on chapter 45 now. Like the relationship between Juliette and Warner is so unbelievably full of feelings. I can't even put the book down. Thank goodness Restore Me comes out tomorrow.

[Linaria]

Chapter 46 -> Crap I hate Warner's father so much. What a jerk. My heart just breaks for him.

[Linaria]

That was a crazy wild ride. Mafi just knows how to get your feelings.

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 9

(view spoiler)[ I just really, really, really can't seem to get behind this total personality switch for Warner. Mafi did such a good job making me hate him in book one that I just can't get over it! (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 27

(view spoiler)[ Still can't switch to Team Warner, but Adam is really driving me crazy right now. There are too big of problems for him to be so whiny, problems like the supreme commander running roughshod over everything and kidnapping Sonya and Sara maybe? (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 56

(view spoiler)[ OMG she can turn it off! I kind of hate Adam right now because he didn't know she could do that and thus could have really hurt Kenji but she can turn it off! This actually makes me most excited for James because now she can give him lots of hugs! But I also feel like we're getting really close to the end here and there's no war yet... (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Well that all wraps up quickly...I'm intrigued to see who Juliette's next foe will be in the continuation, because there are obviously more like them they don't know about if Anderson's sound wave guy is any indication. (hide spoiler)]

Starting this one now :)

[Prisha]

25%

(view spoiler)[ Ah well, we know now that Warner isn't a bad guy. He does have a heart. And he truly cares about Juliette. And I am so happy to see Kenji again like I love that guy. Well, Adam's character is getting worse. Like I agree that it is hard for him, with Warner being his brother and all the things he has done to him, but Adam isn't actually trying to understand him. That's not nice. (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

50%

(view spoiler)[ There are so many problems happening right now, but Adam is not ready to find a way around any of them. And I love Warner. Juliette should really just accept her feelings for him. (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

75%

(view spoiler)[ She can actually turn off her powers?! That is so cool. Now she doesn't have to be afraid to touch anyone (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

Finished!

(view spoiler)[ In the start of the first book, I never would have thought that Juliette would end up becoming the Supreme Commander. That is so much power for her how. I'm really glad that she was able to rescue the girls, cause they are really so nice (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

Lane wrote: "Up to Chapter 27

I know right? Adam needs to think beyond that bubble of him.

[Natalie]

Chapter 8

(view spoiler)[
Wow... Warner is not anything like I thought he was in the first book. Everything he did was to protect Juliette. But I still think the simulation thing was really messed up. He didn’t even want to use her as a weapon!! He was just trying to help his mom.

P.S. It’s hard to imagine Warner being into fashion 😂
(hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 20 (view spoiler)[ I love that Juliette is feeling things for Warner and realized that he's not as terrible as he seems. I get the group being mad that she's defending him after Omega was bombed. Hopefully they'll come around (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Haha (view spoiler)[ I love the fashion thing. He is very particular about what he wears.
Love seeing Warner through a new light and him showing feelings for Juliette (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Prisha wrote: "25%

[spoilers removed]"

Yes (view spoiler)[ Warner is getting more likeable, he seems like a bad guy at first then gets better. Meanwhile, Adam seems like a good guy but he becomes more unlikeable. Interesting for sure (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 27 (view spoiler)[ Wow, fuck you Adam. What a horrible thing to say, that you were happier thinking Juliette was dead. I am done with him (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 45 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Juliette is getting over Adam. And I love James asking Warner so many questions, it's adorable. And they're all training now which is cool (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Prisha wrote: "50%

Yep he needs to get over himself

[Natalie]

Chapter 36

(view spoiler)[
Adam is the biggest douche bag that has ever lived. He needs to grow the hell up. You don’t just tell the girl you’re supposed to love you’d rather them be dead. That’s some effed up shit right there. It’s so obvious now that neither of the really loved each other. And go Juliette for finally getting a back bone and wanting to fight back. For herself. Not for some boy.

Seeing Warner this emotional for Juliette is pretty amazing. You can tell that he loves her a whole hell of a lot more than Adam ever did. I just hope that Juliette can finally admit to herself just how deep her feelings for him are.

Kenji is amazing. I love how strong his friendship is with Juliette.
