(view spoiler)[God you know he just said it to fuck you, and you just walked right into it. you have known each other like what a few days basically. ugh. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

75%
(view spoiler)[Oh no drugs... so surprised... NOT. What did she think the 2nd phone was for?! Freaking idiot. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I KNOW RIGHT she's so stupid.

[Maddie]

19% (view spoiler)[Oh hooray another Noelle. And seriously, the same thing happened with Eliza and Harrison as Reed and Thomas on their first day? Ugh come on. And of course she's already fallen for an engaged man on her first day, and he her...
So many new girls names and descriptions to memorise, Idk if I can keep them all straight! (hide spoiler)]
27% (view spoiler)[Ooohhh a book from Harrison! I already love their relationship, even if it is forbidden! He's what I want! (hide spoiler)]
36% (view spoiler)[Oh typical Harrison happened to be there :/ At least
I like Eliza more than Reed. (hide spoiler)]
45% (view spoiler)[Obviously something's going to go wrong with these spells.. (hide spoiler)]
56% (view spoiler)[Wonder what's up with Helen... And I love how Catherine covered for Eliza! Her and Harrison are soooo cute! His openness is so sweet!
I love the mention of all of the names from the present-day novels, Coolidge and Whittaker etc.
How come all of the girls are so skinny if they don't exercise?? (hide spoiler)]
Finished! Review: I can't believe it left us with that ending! I mean what happened with her and Harrison!! How cruel! I did like this one a bit more than the present-day Privates, but there was still a Noelle in the story, which I hated. I much prefer Eliza to Reed, and the historical setting just really hooked me. Now to jump into Private #12, which I was going to read earlier but didn't realise I had to read this one first.

Yeah I have no idea either, I liked it more than the normal ones, but just no it wasn't necessary, I feel like it'll ruin the next few books.

[Maddie]

8% (view spoiler)[How exactly are they going to bring back Billings with the use of magic... I don't understand this whole issue with the house being destroyed, they still have the girls? It's not a big deal. No one else wants Billings back because everyone else hates Billings, me included! (hide spoiler)]
Page 97 (view spoiler)[It's something to do with the necklace... And why do girls just find necklaces randomly and decide to claim them and wear them all the time?? It's weird.. (hide spoiler)]
Page 108 (view spoiler)[I don't understand why everyone's in such a rush... Surely if their parents are coming or they're leaving, Cromwell will accommodate that... (hide spoiler)]
Page 110 (view spoiler)[Just something I want to comment on: All anyone has to do to become a witch is just say some words?? And then they can be witches??
And how does Reed have time to read 300 pages (that's how long Book of Spells is) while she's sitting on the floor, when she's meant to be in a hurry and holding Noelle and her dad up... (hide spoiler)]
Page 117 (view spoiler)[Oh right yeah sure, knew Theresa was basically Noelle, but that Catherine's related to Ariana! Hhhmmmm. It's just so insane and the series has changed so much.. (hide spoiler)]
Finished! (view spoiler)[Why does doing that always have to kill people? If the knife was already flying, there's no way Mr Lange would have been able to move fast enough for the knife to hit him in the chest, killing him instantly... Should have just got him in the arm. And why was it him anyway? Why did no one else try? Or at least more Reed out of the way? Ugh. (hide spoiler)]
Review: 13 (and one prequel) down, 1 (and a novella) to go! I've almost made it! Then I can be done with this crazy shit once and for all! The last 2 books have just made this all way too unbelievable and crazy. It started off as such an innocent dramatic series, and now it's swapped genres completely and it's something else altogether. No idea why Brian went down this route, and I really don't like it. But only got technically one more book to go, and I'll be done! Will finish them this month!

[Shae]

20% (view spoiler)[ so Noelle has been booted from Billings and is now in a total different room. I wonder what she is going to overhear in Ivy’s room, as that seed has been planted.
This Christmas dinner sounds exciting. I wonder who will do a toast! I like that this is in this book and that I’m reading it so close to Christmas. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

26% (view spoiler)[ I am sus on Trey, how is he soo definite that Ivy didn't kill Cheyanne (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Starting in a little bit, and will finish that and hopefully tonight, we'll see how the gaming situation goes XD

[Maddie]

20% Oh yes that's right! (view spoiler)[Daniel's Paige's brother, the insane mad one from that beach holiday!
Hahaha 'sounds like Emma isn't the only one who needs to have intercourse' XD I agree with Connie's argument though, even though I haven't even read Emma. This discussion makes me wish I liked classics! (hide spoiler)]
40% (view spoiler)[I'm so sick of Ariana, she's psycho, but tbh not all that different from Reed.. (hide spoiler)]
49% (view spoiler)[Oh awesome another stalker. ALREADY BEEN DONE BRIAN (hide spoiler)]
What I don't get is why it's listed at #0.6. If it's read before the actual novels they basically may as well not even read the first 4 or whatever because it spoils everything!

[Maddie]

Finished finally, thank God.

Review: This book was just soooo boring I wanted to tear my head out. Brian didn't even try and justify Ariana's actions to us. I couldn't stand Ariana, knowing how crazy she is and her thought cycle and her reasoning. I just couldn't wait for this book to be finished. And that's all I want to say about this book..

[Maddie]

Right, time to garden and listen to some audio before I start the finale!

[Maddie]

34% (view spoiler)[Okay at least this is a bit better than the previous ones! I don't want to murder Reed yet!

Hate how coincidentally lucky she gets though. And another mystery of who MT is :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

36% (view spoiler)[Wow really another stalker -_- And more lies to Josh :/ Kill this bitch please (hide spoiler)]
82% (view spoiler)[Oh my god Cheyenne!!! (hide spoiler)]
100% (view spoiler)[Really, no sappy goodbye scene from her and Josh? The whole series was basically about all of them anyway...
And thank God she didn't decide to be homeschooled, I would've been so mad!
I cannot believe that there was nothing witchy at all in that book... That's what the penultimate book was about, and now nothing at all in this book? Why put that at all in #13 then?? (hide spoiler)]

Review: I don't even want to write a review for this book. It wasn't as crap as the 13th book, but it was still horrible! Another stalker (surprise surprise), more relationship drama, more horrible secrets and near-death experiences. And no mention at all of what the last book revealed! Why even include that book in the series then if nothing comes up about it in this book. Maybe Brian realised what a stupid idea it was to introduce (view spoiler)[magic (hide spoiler)] into the series, so she decided to act like she never had... But honestly, I'm just so relieved to have finished this series once and for all. Years in the coming! And now it's all closed up.

[Shae]

70% (view spoiler)[ how is reed so stupid with trying to get evidence against Ivy, but breaking and entering her room to obtain it. How is she that dumb! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I totally didn’t see that coming with Sabine! Like I was a little sus on her when she was having that convo with Reed half way through the book, but that went quickly. I so want to know is someone got shot! Need the next one (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I legit almost told you who (view spoiler)[got shot (hide spoiler)] hahaha. Thank God I didn't on FB!

[Shae]

Maddison wrote: "I legit almost told you who [spoilers removed] hahaha. Thank God I didn't on FB!"

Haha well now I know!

[Shae]

7% (view spoiler)[ ok so it was Ivy that got shot!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah XD

[Jacquelyn]

13% (view spoiler)[ it’s obviously not Ivy threatening her. From the beginning I’ve been saying it’s Sabine. Reed is so biased towards Ivy that she’s basing all of her “evidence” on Ivy rather than being logical. 🙄

Update: literally right after I submitted my comment this was the next paragraph. “What could I do to make it look more legit? The answer hit me almost immediately. I needed more suspects. I needed to make it at least appear like I was being fair. Unbiased.”

It’s annoying though because she’s only trying to APPEAR unbiased.

“They always say the people closest to the victim are the prime suspects.” Yes bitch. SABINE. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Jacquelyn wrote: "
13% it’son..."

(view spoiler)[ haha love your comments! Maddie needs to read this one in particular.

Reed is sooo annoying, I hate that she made the suspect list just to seem unbiased but was totally throwing all her eggs in the ivy basket (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

(view spoiler)[ haha love your comments! Maddie needs to read this one in particular.

Like legit, Reed is the worst.

Why does she need to read this comment?

[Maddie]

Yeah as soon as she thought it must obviously be her, I knew it wouldn't be. Like Reed, you're ALWAYS SO WRONG.

Yeah why Shae? XD

[Shae]

44% (view spoiler)[ uuugggghhh reed and Upton annoy me! Like how she is so into him and he is such a player!!

You said it went down hill from here didn’t you maddie haha! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Exactly, just the addition of ANOTHER GUY slashed all the good things

[Shae]

71%(view spoiler)[ haha Reed has to share a room with Amberley if she goes back to Billings!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

88% (view spoiler)[ wow Upton kissed Sienna!! He just hooks up with everyone! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Finished (view spoiler)[ ok so someone pushed reed off the boat! Who could it be. I now feel like I want to read the next one just to see.

What was the different turn that this one took maddie? I felt it was still the same (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[Like not based around the school. The next one is stupid (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Maddison wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

Haha great!!

[Shae]

22% (view spoiler)[ how is reed so naive to believe that Mikey did it because he wanted the necklace for money!! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

She dumb bitch

[Shae]

54% (view spoiler)[ ok, who could be paying these guys to kill Reed, this is getting a little crazy now! I feel like it’s just plot on top of plot, nothing is interwoven from the beginning of this series. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I feel that way too Shae

[Shae]

75% (view spoiler)[ so it’s Marshall, but who even is that? I heard reed say something about two adults on the boat or from
School??

This is so far fetched with her hallucinations of Thomas, Josh etc!

Now Upton has come and saved her, woooo bleeehhhh haha (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[Is that the island one? (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Maddison wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yes the island one (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

93% (view spoiler)[ so it was one of the students mums who was sleeping with Upton who tried to kill reed. This is just getting ridiculous haha!

I wonder if what sawyer heard his dad and Noelle talking about is Billings being closed down? It seems strange how Noelles dad was against it but knew it was for the good of the school. I think that’s what it could be! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Finished (view spoiler)[ so Billings was destroyed haha what a stupid cliff hanger this one was. I think
Something is going to happen with reed and sawyer. If the audio is available for the next book I will
Continue, but otherwise no haha (hide spoiler)]
