Private series by Kate Brian --> Reading from 'Revelation (Private #8)' from December 11th 2018

[Maddie]

I agree with all of your points XD The story's just so trash, but somehow I just can't stop reading. I'm so sick of all of the characters, and the plotline is so dumb, nothing surprises me at this point. Yet I keep reading..

[Maddie]

Time to finish this up.

The books contain some Kind of magic that keeps us reading and reading :D

[Maddie]

Oh it's true XD

[Maddie]

81% (view spoiler)[Oh typical it was Mrs Ryan. I knew as soon as she got confused about the helicopter ride.

And I also thought it might be the cops! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Finished. (view spoiler)[Well that's a little complication right there!

This book was definitely on a different level, kinda boring, but maybe I'm just getting used to shit happening. And I told you she'd like Sawyer. As soon as she saw him right at the start, when she thought he was Upton :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

starting book 1 tonight

[Maddie]

Yay!

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

at 41% (view spoiler)[ and kind of hooked even though Reed is annoying me slightly right now with the way she is letting Noelle and the other billing’s girls order her around. I am still kinda hooked to the story Lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

That's definitely the general consensus Nikk! Everyone hates the characters but loves the plotline.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Pg 155 - (view spoiler)[ seriously, she is going to steal a test for them. Why do I feel that both Thomas and the billing’s girls are setting her up for something? (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

76%
(view spoiler)[really not surprised to. Find out having her get that test was a test in itself.

Also thinking it was no surprise that Thomas just happened to be found giving the pills just as Taylor suggested they go find him. (hide spoiler)]

It's normal with this books to be hooked on the Story, but to dislike Reed. :D

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Makes a kind of sense that it would finish where it did as my first impulse was to be annoyed that book 2 is currently at home and I am not at home. This despite me spending the final quarter of the book finding Reed kinda pathetic and weak and annoying LOL. Now off to review this. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah haha. She stays annoying. So does everyone else. But somehow I just need to keep reading.

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[I’m shocked that most students really think that the Legacy not happening is worse than Cheyennes death. Reed has a point with that, I have to say, but I’m sure she will get back to her annoying self in no time. Why are this books so entertaining? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[Oh god no, I hope Reed imagining Cheyenne was a one time thing. I really don’t like this in books (or movies for that matter). Am I the only one who thinks that maybe Cheyenne was killed and that someone was behind the beef between her and Reed after all? I’m still not over not trusting Sabine, this girl did nothing wrong but I still don’t trust her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 23: (view spoiler)[The most important part from the last chapters: Noelle is finally back! And the Legacy is happening, but no one from Billings got an invite. I wonder what that is all about, and still I’m not trusting Sabine, she could be the one behind all of this, I don’t know why, but with this books no one needs a real reason. The whole Dash-Josh-Reed-thing is getting out of hand, it’s SO annoying. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 31: (view spoiler)[I knew they’d be going to the Legacy and to be honest, I knew they needed Noelle for that. Reed’s just not a real leader. I know I’m repeating myself but isn’t Sabine strange? Please tell me I’m not imagining things. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[Reed got what was coming for her. She toyed with two boys and now have none. The whole Dash-Josh-thing was getting on my nerve. I wonder what Noelle will do, once she finds out. Ivy is implied to be the bad girl but to be honest I still think there is someone else who’s behind all that. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I know, as soon as (view spoiler)[the MC is certain that a specific person did it, you know it's not them... (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Starting now

[Maddie]

Yay!

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Up to 23% (view spoiler)[ UGH! How can Reed call these people her friends. They seem to have essentially invited her into the dorm to make her their slave and she is okay with it?

And don’t get me started on Thomas
(hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

At page 88

(view spoiler)[As much as Natasha seems to be being set up as the ‘bad guy’ in this book. I actually kinda like her. She is almost certainly right about Noelle and the others setting Leanne up to be expelled and she has definitely got Reed pegged. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

XD All the characters are just so similar to me. But tbh the thing that annoys me the most is the fact when Kate Brian lists names, she always puts Kiran and Taylor together. They are always next to each other, and their names run together in my head. It's so frustrating, and I have no idea why.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

51% (view spoiler)[ oooh a secret laptop. I wonder what’s on it. (hide spoiler)]

It doesn’t help that they also seem to be room mates LOL!

[Maddie]

Yeah exactly XD I can't wait to read the 10th or 11th one soon (can't remember which one I'm up to XD)

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I may have gone to the library this morning to pick up books 3-9...

and i am about to head down to my other local library to pick up 10 through 14.... LOL

[Maddie]

Oh no I really need to stay ahead so I can see your thoughts. Are you reading them all back to back Nikk?

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I don't know - i will see what other books I ahve to read

[Maddie]

Okay. I'm up to #10 I think. I just would really like to stay ahead XD

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

well once i am done with book2 i have other books i need to read before i can move on to 3 so will probably start on book 3 in time for the weekend most likely

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

78% (view spoiler)[ Of course Constance was going to find out about her date It's not like it was any secret and she certainly would have found out when Reed went to the Legacy with him (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Okay sounds good.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Can't say I am overly surprised they found Thomas' body

I also wasn't sure I could dislike Reed more than I already did but apparently I can LOL (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

She gets worse 😑

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[I’ve started the next book. Yay? It’s irritating how this story can be so addicting but the characters so annoying and frustrating. Reed has this great plan to raise 5 Million Dollar in one month. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[Oh god, I can’t even with Reed. If I have to read one more time that Josh was the love of her life, I’ll have to invent something to travel into books and kill her. This is SO annoying. And now all those guys are asking her out. Like… why the f***?! And someone is trying to make her crazy, not that I couldn’t understand that. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[One thing that’s also very annoying is the fact that Kate Brian probably never really watched a soccer game. Reed’s a defender. Why even give her a specific position if you NEVER stick to it.

Reed’s dating all those guys now and every second sentence starts with Josh. Or Ivy. Or Ivy and Josh together. And she is suspecting someone stalking her, I still think Sabine is involved, don’t know why though. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 24: (view spoiler)[So Reed’s now afraid to lose her friend Noelle, too. Well should have thought about that BEFORE making out with Dash. I’m nearly losing it with Reed. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 35: (view spoiler)[Even though Reed can’t think of anything else besides Josh and being stalked, once she sees Dash everything else is forgotten and she now has to do everything not to feel bad because he’s still with his girlfriend, Noelle. In the beginning I thought this book would be all about the fundraiser and saving Billings, but sadly, it’s not. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 44: (view spoiler)[The End is near and none of these books ends without a bang, I’m pretty sure this one won’t disappoint in that department. Everything else is just… I don’t understand why Reed won’t tell Noelle about the stuff with Cheyenne, the Mails and the perfume. If one person knows how to handle stuff like that, it’s Noelle. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[This wasn’t the cliff hanger I expected but I like it. Let’s see how Reed gets out of this one. Hopefully soon, I can’t stand Reed all on her own. She’ll feel like the victim the whole time. And Reed suspects Ivy to be behind all of the bad stuff happening, that’s why I’m pretty sure it’s not her. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Oh my God I totally understand that, (view spoiler)[all the wants is Josh back, but then when she's with Dash all she thinks about him. And then all the other random guys she's dating! I totally don't understand it, especially as she's really 'plain and boring' like all MCs... (hide spoiler)]

Has anyone been reading my spoilers from a few pages back? XD

You're really pushing me along here Julie! When you start #9 can you let me know? That way I can try and start #10? I really want to stay ahead in this series.

Yes, I'm reading all your updates while reading the book. :D

Oh, trust me, you will dislike her even more, but the books are so addicting. :D

[Maddie]

Oh yay! I thought no one else would ever read them again XD

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Maddison wrote: "Oh yay! I thought no one else would ever read them again XD"

I do, it's fun to see that someone else is thinking mostly the same things as I am. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one dislike characters so much... :D

[Lane]

20% (view spoiler)[ I kinda like the idea that the Billings Girls can't run roughshod over everyone. I'm a fan of the new headmaster. (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ So can Josh legit not see that he's being manipulated?! For someone so skeptical of the Billings girls, he's being swayed so easily by Cheyenne... (hide spoiler)]
75% (view spoiler)[ This Dash situationship is super weird. Noelle messed up majorly but she was still Reed's best friend (kinda? sorta? basically?) and Dash is her ex (current?)... (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ WHAAAAAAT?! She's not really dead right? It's like all a ruse? NOELLE DIDN'T KILL HER FOR HER SPOT BACK RIGHT?! Can't trust any of these people. (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Starting

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[Did Reed really believe they’d let her live in Billings when she did what she did with Dash? I mean, she’s telling everyone that Noelle’s her BFF and then she goes to a party and makes out with her Ex, it’s still a shitty thing to do, stop whining about everyone being unfair and start working things out!!!

And please stop suspecting Ivy already, we all know there is someone else. I still think it’s Sabine for some reason, her behavior is strange. And oh I forgot, tell the police that you’re being harassed with Cheyennes things, this will make you look much more like a victim and much less like a psycho!!! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 9:(view spoiler)[S. O.? What was Sabines last name again? The first thing that came to my mind was, that Ariannas last name was Osgore or something, right? What does that mean? Well, maybe my inner Detective goes wild imagining things, but… is it a coincidence? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[ Can’t she go to the police already and tell them that someone is trying to frame her for Cheyennes murder and is threatening her? Of course Reed won’t do that because she is stupid AF. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 21:(view spoiler)[Reed is suspecting Amberly now. I do find it weird that she is dressing up as Arianna, but I don’t think she is behind everything with Chey or the stalking. We haven’t heard a lot from Sabine lately, Reed’s so called best friend at the moment. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 31:(view spoiler)[Sabine reacted very strange when Reed implied, that she has a copy of the disc. Like she was afraid that Reed finds out what’s on it. That makes me wonder, what is on that disc? After my S. O.-theory proved to be wrong, I’m still suspecting her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 39:(view spoiler)[Now Ivy and Reed are playing detective together. It seems with help Reed can probably find the real killer. (hide spoiler)]

The End:(view spoiler)[This has to be the worst cliff-hanger ever. What the f***?! I really hope that stupid bitch Sabine didn’t shoot Josh. And my collection tells me that now is the time to read book 0.6, Last Christmas. I think it’s about Arianna, so I’ll have to read fast to get to the point where I know if poor Josh is alright. I’m not so worried about Reed btw. :D

And with this cliffhanger I nearly forgot to say: I knew it! I knew Sabine was crazy. I even suspected her to be related to Arianna at some Point, but wasn't so sure about that. (hide spoiler)]

[Susan]

Still on I had a couple challenge books I had to get done and I was baby sitting quite a bit. SO now I am back to reading this book because I want to read it all too. :D

Chapters 10-29

(view spoiler)[
I would tell that Natasha where she could stick it. I would not go digging through those girls things at all. If I were Reed I would figure out how to get into Natasha's email and delete the email holding the blackmail pictures so she couldn't send it to anyone and get her kicked out of school.

Still don't like Reed's character that much. I like a little more backbone but I guess if she wrote her with a backbone and the ability to stand up for herself we wouldn't have a story.

Thomas is still not back, He's still in this "supposed hospital" Whit has not made her his plus one to the Legacy party yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

on page 60 of and (view spoiler)[ I love the fact that though she had prove she was Reed before "Taylor' would speak to her, she didn't even think to verify that it *is* actually Taylor speaking to her on the other end.

Also i think its pretty crappy that if they really can provide Josh an alibi, Blake and the secretary are protecting their own hides rather than provide it to the police.

I don't think Josh killed Thomas, I think he is being used as a scape goat because of his history.

(hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

on page 98 of

(view spoiler)[
I wonder what happened to Blake and if it has anything to do with Thomas' death

I am kinda glad Noelle and her friends got caught sneaking out. It's nice that they have limits for once so i didn't think it was fair that the rest of the dorm got punished
(hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

on page 110 of

(view spoiler)[
I wonder if Ms lewis-heneman will actually go to the police about Josh and Blake. Also my gut tells me Blake didn't kill Thomas . I still think it has somethng to do with Noelle, Ariana, Kiran and Taylor

Don't know what or why though

(hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

on page 142 of

(view spoiler)[

Why do I get the feeling this interview is going to be a disaster?

I wonder what Noelle is plotting to do to Cheyenne?

(hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

on page 196 of

(view spoiler)[
I knew that Noelle, Arianna, Kiran and taylor had something to do with Thomas' death even if it was just to abduct him and tie him to a pole where he was later killed.

I do believe Noelle that she didn't kill him though don't see how they can justify they did it for Reed but knowing reed and her lack of back bone, I am sure they will all be best friends again in a few days LOL

So sad she walked out on Justin for the Billings girls though its really not all that surprising given she made Reed dump Kiran's Drake house boyfriend back in the first book.

Now just wondering if that will be the last revelation for this book or if we will get another before we finish

(hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Finished and (view spoiler)[ and the fact that it was Arianna makes sense. It probably doesn't help that the blurb for the the o.6 prequel to the series seems to be essentially a spoiler for what then happens in the series :-(

I knew that there would be more revelations before the end through and that given how many books are left in the series that Reed would have to be going back to Easton eventually

well on to book 5 then I guess...
