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

[Susan]

Chapters 30-40

(view spoiler)[

I have not been a fan of Reed and that is still holding true. I hate how she is using Whit just to get into the Legacy party. She had a great time at the dinner they went to. The one thing I will say for her she had a bit of backbone when she demanded to order her own food. The waitress gave Whit the menu and only him. He told her the restaurant was old school and the man orders everything for the woman. Reed was like bitch please....sorry to cuss but it's the first glimpse into her standing up for herself. Those little old bitty's staring her down because she wanted a menu....this restaurant is set in the stone ages I guess. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 41-49 The End

The book is about a 3 star read for me and not that great but like what the others say you have to keep going. They gie you these big cliff hangers that you know dang well you are going to keep reading to see what happens. This book was no different and this cliff hanger is much bigger then the last so now I have to go on to book #3.

(view spoiler)[

When Reed walked in on Natasha and Lee Ann making out I was doing a happy dance inside because I thought now you can stop being blackmailed since they were begging her not to tell. I was so happy once again when she told on Natasha to the girls that she was being blackmailed and what Natasha was making her do. I thought maybe just maybe we will see a different Reed but we didn't. When the girls told her she was being tested and the blackmail was a test they all knew about, I know I would have shoved a shoe someplace very painful...She just continues to take it from them. I hate that she doesn't think that much of herself and that she feels she has to be a Billings Girl in order to amount to anything. The last chapter and the cliff hanger OMGosh, I am so sad to hear that. I kind of had a feeling but wasn't 100% sure and I prayed I was wrong. I am into the new love interest though (before the cliff hanger happened) I was loving that she was getting butterflies for Josh. I sure hope that takes off and they are good together.

Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[We are learning now how Arianna became the killer we know today. I don’t really know if I like the whole concept, especially when we know where it ends. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[Of course Arianna is falling for Thomas, of course he is nice to her and of course Daniel and Paige are absolute horrible. I don’t know if the author wants me to feel sorry for Arianna, but considering what she’ll do in the future, I find it kinda hard. And this whole thing about the book Arianna was reading for class with that protagonist who did horrible things but everyone else still liked, was that supposed to be foreshadowing for this book? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[Damn, I’m really sorry Thomas has to die. I liked him with Reed, well, as much as you can like any of these characters and I like him now with Arianna. Arianna herself feels like a Reed 2.0 with her stupid behavior and her continuously switching between Daniel and Thomas, just like Dash and Josh… (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27: (view spoiler)[OMG, she killed Sergei. I can’t believe it, she’s a lunatic. She had the power to help him and just… drowned him. I mean, we all knew she’d become a killer at one point but… wow, she really needs help in a mental institution. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[We are back at the beginning. Arianna is crazy and she lost Thomas the moment she killed “for their love”. I still can’t believe she killed Sergei and that no one ever wondered who killed Mel. But maybe they did and we never learned about it. I can’t wait for the next book and finding out who was shot in the last book. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I shall request Last Christmas and Book of Spells now, I forgot about them. I also missed the notification for this thread, so I had no idea what was going on XD I've just started
12% (view spoiler)[Okay so Billings was legit destroyed, and the girls aren't going crazy over it? Wonder what the catch is... And I still hate Noelle. Just hate everyone. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

36% (view spoiler)[NOEEELLLLLLEEEEEE! Stop it, you bitch! And just please, her and Josh -_- (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Will finish up tomorrow, I'm heading to sleep now.

[Maddie]

50% (view spoiler)[Wow this line... 'Couldn't a girl talk to a guy anymore without it being a crush thing?' HONESTLY REED TELL THAT TO YOURSELF! (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[I don’t have to read more to know how the Upton-Game will go. Every girl will be competing for his attention and he’ll only be interested in Reed. Because she is soo special, talented, smart, beautiful… I could go on and on. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[Only 7 chapters in and Reed has told herself 100 times that she is not participating in the Upton-Games, but of course she will. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[Reeds mood swings are unbearable. In the last chapter alone she went from “I’m not playing the Upton game” to “Uh, Upton’s so hot, lets make out with him” to “I’m never playing that game, I’m not naïve and fall for someone like Upton” to “All those flowers, my competitive side is stronger, I’m going to win Upton.” And that was just the last chapter, this whole thing is dragging on for far to long now. Especially when you mix in that she still is thinking about Josh, after everything that happened in the last book. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 29: (view spoiler)[With this books, everything is possible, maybe someone did hurt Poppy? And is this Sawyer-guy in love with Reed now. He was nice to her, of course she has a crush on him now, even though there is this perfect guy Upton. I have the feeling I’m forgetting someone, oh yes, the love of her live Josh, he wasn’t mentioned in a while. I’m thinking it’s strange that Reed got so many expensive presents. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[What is it with all those cliff-hangers?! The books won’t let you stop reading lol. I have to agree with Maddison, compared to the other books this wasn’t as good and Reed was annoying like always. I’ll still continue reading though. (hide spoiler)]

I'll pause this series for a few days (gone on Holiday and won't take it with me) but I'll definetely will continue reading around the 10th October. :)

@Maddison You'll have some time now to stay ahead of me. ;)

[Maddie]

That book was so crap right

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Yes! The new Setting wasn't good for the book.

[Maddie]

It's the same in the second book kind of. This current book gets better back at easton.

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Good to know, I'm looking forward to that then.

[Maddie]

Yeah! I'm finishing #11 tomorrow

[Maddie]

I finished
Review: Meh this one was just totally average. Nothing happened at all. This was just a whole book leading up to (view spoiler)[her and Josh getting back together. And what was that note at the end. (hide spoiler)] I think I'm ready for this series to just be finished. I'm over it, everything's just annoying me. I mean, yeah I'm happy for (view spoiler)[her and Josh, but still, she managed to cheat on Ivy AGAIN! And she didn't even ask Josh to make sure that he was okay with her telling Ivy! She just told. She's so self-centered! (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

25% (view spoiler)[ I'm starting to thing that Cheyenne didn't write that letter that Reed keeps getting.... but I do think she committed suicide so I'm just very confused on what is going on. (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ Honestly Reed has more chemistry with Dash than she had combined with Thomas and Josh.... (hide spoiler)]
75% (view spoiler)[ I get that their main mission is to crash the Legacy, but I feel like they're not even trying to figure out who's actually throwing it and icing them out. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Reed was definitely drugged right?! Is that an excuse for fire-bombing her life? Noelle might just kill her when she eventually finds out about the Dash moment on the roof. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Hopefully I'll get to #12 soon! I'm so close to the end! Well I've got 3 more in the series, and then 2 prequels/novellas, and 5 in the spin-off series.

[Lane]

25% (view spoiler)[ 5MILLION?! In a month? Looks like the Crom is just setting them up to fail. (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ LOL to Reed thinking that getting trashed and hooking up with Dash is the equivalent of Josh being drugged and Cheyenne taking advantage of him. (hide spoiler)]
75% (view spoiler)[ Reed should have fessed up. Because Noelle is trying to be extra nice and she's going to kill Reed when she finds out what happened at the Legacy. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ And there it goes! I don't feel bad about everyone finding out about Dash. But I feel like Josh is just being cruel flaunting his new relationship with Ivy... (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I just hate everyone.... XD

I am starting now

[Maddie]

Sweet!

(view spoiler)[

Wow! That new headmaster means business. Sounds like he has a bit of a grudge against Billings or maybe he is under pressure from the board to curb their behaviour after the scandals of last year and make a name for himself.

It will be interesting to see what else changes and interesting to see that Reed still appears to be the odd one out...

(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

She always thinks she is -_-

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

On page 60 of

(view spoiler)[ Okay so maybe its just because i don't trust any characters in this series given no one is ever what they seem but I have to wonder if Sabine's wide eyed innocent new girl thing is just an act and for some unknown reason we have not been made privy to yet, she is intentionally trying to cause trouble for Reed and Josh.

I guess we will see

Though I am glad Constance got into Billings :-)
(hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

I’m baaack. And I can’t believe I’m reading this series again.. :D

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[Of course someone is trying to kill Reed again. How many psychos can you upset in your life? Well, Reed Brennan is trying to get them ALL against her. And of course she is staying one more night on the island with her supposed killer around, they can attempt a fourth murder while she is there. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[Who is Reed trying to convince that the thing with Upton is just a holiday fling? She is jealous all the time of other girls, if it was just a fling you wouldn’t need to be jealous. And of course we are back talking about Josh… (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13: (view spoiler)[Okay, enough. This feud between Reed and Amberly is absolutely laughable right now. I nearly forgot why they were fighting and, really, Amberly is not fighting at all. She’s just there and Reed is a total bitch. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[This whole reason why Mrs. Ryan tried to kill Reed is just so stupid. The part with Reed on the island and hallucinating Thomas and other crap was way to long. It could have been much shorter. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[No more Billings? Damn, that was one of my favorite parts of the books. At least they are back at Easton. I can't handle any more vacation Drama. I wonder who'll try to kill Reed in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

No surprise that Cheyenne helped Astrid or that she then made them all take their items back.

At least Reed seems to have a little more backbone in this book. Not much...but a little
(hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[
I wonder what is going on between Josh and Cheyenne? There is a secret there but I don’t think it is completely what it seems. Also any money, Cheyenne some uses Reed corresponding with Dash to try and break Josh and Reed up
(hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

On page 136 of

(view spoiler)[and I think it is hilarious that Reed is getting so frustrated with Sabine given Sabine is basically doing exactly what Reed did in the first two books (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[When again did Ivy and Reed become friends?! They hated each other, and Ivy hated Billings with a passion. At what time did that change? Even when they were working together to find out who was stalking them both, they didn’t like each other. Then Ivy was shot and now they are close friends? That’s just not working for me. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[This is all so annoying. It’s way off that Noelle isn’t helping with the secret society. I really don’t understand where this is headed. And Reed broke up via text with Upton. This is all building up to her getting back with Josh, only problem in that equation is Reeds new best friend Ivy. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[Now the other Billings girls are kind of rebelling against Noelle? She won’t like that and what happened to her and Reed being best friends? This book doesn’t really fit into this whole story line… (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 24: (view spoiler)[Ok, why is she kissing Sawyer? He was her friend and now he probably thinks there is more than Reed really wants. Can’t she have a normal friendship with a guy? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 32: (view spoiler)[Really surprising that the other girls are mad, that they are not in the BLS and try to boycott the others. Oh wait, no it’s not. It was obvious from the start that the girls who were left out would turn on them. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[In this book nothing really happend. They built the BLS and everything was building up to Josh and Reed getting back together. Now Noelle has been abducted and I guess in the next book Reed will become a detective trying to find her. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Exactly! Reed is getting annoyed about stuff she did, too! (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Finished

(view spoiler)[I knew Cheyenne was going to die as I accidentally read it on the blurb of the next book when I borrowed it a couple of weeks ago though I wasn’t sure how it happened. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next book as many things at the end seemed a little too neat. The question is, did Cheyenne really commit suicide?
(hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[Okay, this is bad. This is really, really bad. I’ve only read one chapter and already I want to kill Reed. Her whining and inner monologue are so annoying and awful. I just hope I get through this fast. And secretly I wonder if there’ll be another new boy in this one, now that Reed’s back with Josh. I don’t think she can live without debating which guy is best for her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[Ahh, there is Upton again. And after a second after talking to and seeing him, Reed is remembering her great time with him. God, can someone please stop this girl? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[What… was that? The whole snake thing was cringy and stupid and… did this really piss of the headmaster? Couldn’t there have been a better thing to do then standing in a chapel and shouting snake when clearly, there was not a thing to see??? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27: (view spoiler)[Oh please, this is all so stupid right now. I can’t stretch how much this whole thing is annoying me. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[They have to be kidding, right? Noelle and Reed are sisters and everything Reed has gone through in this book are forgotten? She’s just accepting the fact that someone made her go through hell and now it’s all good again? (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[I don’t know what to think about this book. For one, I like Eliza way more than Reed, Theresa is a lot like Noelle. I don’t like her. Overall I haven’t decided yet if I like the book or not. I like the setting, it’s interesting, but what about this strange ghostly voice? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[They are turning to witches now? With magical power and stuff? And on top of that there is this ghostly voice, which is telling Eliza what to do, or better, warning her about stuff she’s about to do? That’s not what I signed up for, I really wonder if this is going to affect the last two Private-Books, since Reed and Noelle have just found this book. And what is it with this Helen? She was mentioned so often now, that I think there has to be more to her then just being a servant. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25: (view spoiler)[This is just a boring book with a very strange fantasy element. It’s nothing like the other books in this series and I just don’t understand how or why Kate Brian decided to take this turn. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 38: (view spoiler)[Am I the only one who thinks, that Theresa won’t be happy about Helen showing up and that they have to bury the books after they saved Catherine? Also I think that Eliza will be power hungry, after the spell worked, maybe she won’t stop using magic. I still can’t believe this is the same series, that started with a (stupid) girl that got a scholarship to a school… (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[What was that? I could have told them that it wouldn’t be a great idea to wake dead people, but they had to try and learn. I don’t know why Eliza broke up with Harrison, even after Theresa told her it was okay. It’s not like Theresa and Harrison could be happy together. And how in the world does this fit in with the other books? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Oh wow again I missed all of the updates! I'm not sure when I'll get back to these, hopefully soon! I need to read them!

[Maddie]

Think Last Christmas is next on my list.

Reading Vanished this week!

24% (view spoiler)[And now she keeps more fucking lies. So over Reed's shit. And I can't believe she'd act to suspicious around Josh right after he finds her talking with Upton. Unbelievable. (hide spoiler)]

43% (view spoiler)[Uuuugh I legit groaned so much when of course Josh saw her hugging Sawyer. UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH I can't wait to have this drama series finished with! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

60% (view spoiler)[UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH I JUST CAN'T! I honestly just can't. JUST TELL SOMEONE REED! She's such a fucking liar, and she's so bad at it, yet no one ever calls her out! She keeps stuff to herself, keeps getting forgiven for it, and then she's still just super popular!?

Like honestly! How come she can't just say that her friend saw the text on her phone, or that Josh did?

And why does she always blow things out or proportion? All it said was 'weird it in public'. When she got a comment on it, take it off, nothing said that it had to be noticed by everyone. And with Josh, it just said 'break up with him in public', no reason why it had to be shouted from the rooftops. Other people around = public, not everyone noticing! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

76% (view spoiler)[Seriously. Wow. This is unbelievable. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Review: HOLY FUCK THIS BOOK JUST MURDERED MY SOUL. WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME!!!!!! I groaned aloud so often, and I actually threw the book on the ground when I reached the end. What the fuck kind of book was this!? It was unbelievable. I have no idea why I put myself through this torture (and yet I'll still continue to read them). I hate all of these characters. I just have no idea how anyone can write such an infuriating series. And then they're (view spoiler)[WITCHES!? LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? No! (hide spoiler)]

You seem to enjoy them, didn't want to make you angry or anything

[Maddie]

Oh nope XD I really don't like them. I mean, at the start they were okay, but honestly #12 (just read) I hated so much.

[Maddie]

And they're hilarious, even if I do like them :p
