Ohh Lena, I'm so sorry but I'm a little bit behind on schedule... *blushes with shame* I had a very busy week, but I'm expecting to be on schedule again tomorrow evening :) Hope you don't mind! Sorryyy...
But if it'll become that thrilling that you read 100 pages ahead, it shouldn't be too difficult too reach the amount of pages I should have read XD
I'll try to catch up with you as soon as possible!

I understand, that's fine! good luck reading, I've been loving it so much!

[elle ☀️]

ok so I put it aside for a bit so that I could realign with the schedule but then when I came back to read it I couldn't stop again so I finished it!!
this was so different to anything I've ever read it loved it so much omg

(view spoiler)[I'm starting to love this book so much is so different to everything I'd ever read and I like it so much. This two characters: Kady and Ezra I LOVED THEM, at first everything confussed me because it was a lot of details but now... I can't stop reading it (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

So, I am having a hard time figuring out where I am at in the book because I am doing this via audiobook!

Hahahah just left the spoiler and I'll read it when I finished the book then

[Abby]

24%: (view spoiler)[Love the banter between Mason and Dorian and McNolty. Hilarious! (hide spoiler)]

I'm glad I didn't choose audio. I was going to at first, but ultimately picked up the ebook and I'm glad I did. I would be so lost! Is it easy enough to follow?

[Karen]

10%-this is a puzzling start. It's clear Ezra and Kady like each other still, but this feels quite disjointed at the moment.

[San]

15%
(view spoiler)[ I don't really know how I feel about this book. It's interesting how it's written but I wonder if I prefer it to be written in normal way. Still I like characters, especially Kady. (hide spoiler)]

[San]

31%
(view spoiler)[ Oh, James... everyone but not him. "I've got Astro-Princess to keep me warm" I'm heartbroken now :( (hide spoiler)]

[San]

54%
(view spoiler)[ Okay, so I wasn't sure if I like it at the beginning but... Oh my gosh! Now so much is happening! AIDAN is back online and it's freacking amazing! Trusting Artificial Intelligence always goes bad. I can't wait to read if they will fix it. (hide spoiler)]

It is BUT I don't know how to do updates on this thread because there are no page numbers/chapter for me to go on. Is it okay with everyone if I just go by CD #?

[Ariel]

Okay, I am just going to do this by CD because I am already farther ahead than I would like without an update!

Disk 4
(view spoiler)[
So, I don't know how I feel about Kady. I still think she is up to something... She FINALLY told Ezra she loves him still and his reaction is so cute. I really love Ezra.
There is definitely something they are not telling us/the people. The infected sound like Zombies and AIDEN is a program that's done rogue? That is still a little unclear... or is someone controlling that programming? (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

That's probably the best way to do it, Ariel. I wouldn't be able to figure it out either!

[Ariel]

Beginning of disk 5

(view spoiler)[
Poor Kady when her mom doesn't respond. This is so sad. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Disk 5; Track 27

(view spoiler)[
Aiden is online and is incredibly deep.
EZRA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (hide spoiler)]

[San]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Oh my God! I'm so happy that Ezra is alive! This ending is so good! I'm even more happy that AIDAN is also safe. Its parts was my favorite. Leanne is so terrible person, I am glad that Kady and AIDAN are after her. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Disk 6, Track 7

(view spoiler)[
OMGGGG AIDEN is freaking nuts! I don't understand why he would think unleashing the sick would save the ships population!? I hope Kady can get him shut down in time.... (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

52%-okay, this is hard work but have a feeling it will be rewarding. Visually intriguing-wish I had a paper copy.

[Mojoreb]

Finished this book today and loved it. I started off listening to the audiobook but switched to paper copy by the second half of the book. Both are great, but i prefer the physical copy. Anyway, loved the characters and the setting. Can't wait to read the second book!

[Karen]

80%-really wasn't expecting this! Though it's requiring a fair amount of concentration, this is a cracking read. Feel I'll have to go back and read it to catch the bits I missed first time round.

[Karen]

Finished-unexpected pleasure. A thrilling read, lots of twists and turns, and the kind of book that I want to go away and reread.

[Ariel]

Disk 8; track 7

(view spoiler)[
I feel like literally all the characters I loved are dead :( Crying on the inside. AIDEN is nuts and clearly obsessed with Kady. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Disk 7; track 8

(view spoiler)[

WHAAAATTTT!?!?!!? Are you freaking kidding me!? I did not see that coming! I swear if Aiden was a person, I would punch him in the face :( (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

49%: (view spoiler)[I love the artwork here, but it's so difficult to read on Kindle! (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished

(view spoiler)[
OH MY GOD THAT ENDING!!!! So good! I did not see that it would be Ezra's mother, that woman really is crazy! (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

77%: (view spoiler)[Holding my breath here. Does anyone make it out alive? (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Page 299/592
(view spoiler)[i can't believe everything that is happening with aidan and just... Everything. Kady and ezra are so fucking cute that i loved them together, this book is so fucking amazing i had a few theories about all this system with the ia and aidan but i didn't know that this will be the result i'm stunned to be honest. The part about Jimmy... Damn, i cried it was so painfull

I can't wait to see how this will end and more with crazy aidan (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Finished: (view spoiler)[So glad they both made it! Thought for sure they would both die. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[i cried like a baby when aidan said that ezra was dead, i couldn't believe it i was like "let me see first the body and then we talk" so i cried more when i find out that he was alive, i knew already that aidan didn't die with the explosion he's or she's i think is a he a freaking system so i doubt it could die. all those deads all those infected just wow everything in these book was gold since the beginning until the end of it, i can't wait to read the second book and i was really surprise about the fact of the ezra's mother i really really want to read already the second book but i will take a little break and then read it

i freaking loved this book and more ezra and kady, there're such a kick-ass characters damn, i really don't know what to feel about aidan is kinda of creepy but i liked it in the end and i hope i liked more in the second book. this book really surprise me and was everything i didn't hope for so it was amazed i was stunned in every chapter and in every moment (hide spoiler)]

[Kimberly]

[Maddie]

YES PLEASE WOLF! I need someone to talk to about it when I read it XD

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Okay.

[Maddie]

Awesome :) And are you into reading the second book end of this month/start of next?

I'm so keen to start this one because I've never read a book like this one, so keen to see what it's like. It'll be a quick read too I hope.

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Sure.

[Maddie]

Okay awesome. You read real quick right?

[Lee]

I'm so excited to start reading this.

[Maddie]

Me too! So excited XD I'll be starting this as soon as I can tomorrow :D

[Maddie]

I'll post here when I do, and I tend to post quite a lot of updates because I only read when I sprint, so I'm on the computer.

Are we able to sprint tomorrow?

[Lee]

I should be able too. I don't have any other plans. c:
