Amanda and I
please join us if you can!

[Amanda]

Yay! I'm excited for this one.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Me too!! Thank you for joining me!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

just finishing up one other and then I plan to start
looks like there are: looks like there are 28 chapters

come back every 7?

[Amanda]

Every 7 sounds good :)

I plan on starting soon. I've had a headache all day and it's just now going away so I can finally get some reading done.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh no! I hope that headache stays away

[Amanda]

Thanks, so far it's gone :)

[Amanda]

7 chapters in.

Jackson (view spoiler)[This agent work in the CIA is interesting so far. I am curious to see how the timelines paths may change now that he has run into Holly. (hide spoiler)]

Jenni (view spoiler)[for some reason I don't trust her not sure why yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

7 chapters

Jackson(view spoiler)[ What on earth is he doing with Stewart?
his field work is interesting but they keep surprising them with new stuff - makes me nervous (hide spoiler)]

Jenni(view spoiler)[ I agree. I don't trust her either. she just seems so.....off (hide spoiler)]

Holly(view spoiler)[ I miss her. I don't think she's as happy as everyone is making her out to be (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Trisha wrote: "7 chapters

Holly[spoilers re..."

I agree (view spoiler)[I miss her too and want more scenes with her and I don't shes very happy either. (hide spoiler)]

I plan on getting more of this read today, but it seems to be more confusing to me than the first book.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I agree, this one feels much more confusing

but(view spoiler)[ I'm glad he specified there was possibly a third world/time he visited
because I remember being REALLY confused about all his travel in the last one. but adding ANOTHER world makes more sense :) (hide spoiler)]

14 chapters
OMG this is getting even more confusing

so....(view spoiler)[ wait...the Mason that appeared in chapter 14 - after he died in 2009 - how did he get to 2007?
did he really jump and not die?
or...was he world and time traveling? can Mason do that?
ugh. I'm so confused lol (hide spoiler)]

Holly(view spoiler)[ that was awful - that she just let him do all those things in the real time...just so she could get tickets
I hate her with that other guy (hide spoiler)]

kendrick(view spoiler)[ so I guess we know why she's so important now? it still seems....odd (hide spoiler)]

dad(view spoiler)[ I wonder where his dad is in his time and why he's been gone
and why they made it appear that he had taken a bribe?! (hide spoiler)]

Adam(view spoiler)[ wow, I've missed him too (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

14 chapters.

Mason (view spoiler)[I know I am so confused about him too, did he travel before he died? (hide spoiler)]

Holly (view spoiler)[I don't like her with that other guy either. She seems more shallow. (hide spoiler)]

Adam (view spoiler)[I miss him too. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

21 chapters

wow (view spoiler)[ I guess I'm glad he finally let Kendrick and Stewart in. I mean, with his dad missing, he need someone on his side (hide spoiler)]

Vortex(view spoiler)[ wow, yikes. I wonder if that was why Adam told him to leave it alone and let this happen. i wonder if Adam knew something...... (hide spoiler)]

Holly(view spoiler)[ I'm so sad she was pulled into all of this - but I feel like we kind of knew she would be. she is such a focus for him, of course they'd want to have her on Eyewall side and not Tempest (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I'm done

and I think I'm possibly even more confused

so...(view spoiler)[ his dad is really from the past
and someone grabbed and held Mason and Courtney from a point before they were killed....
but Holly is holly...from her time, no questions
and there is ANOTHER Jackson held from.....some other time? I think he's younger right?

and they, all together, are held in a 3200 future? because they can't time travel out from a pulsing magnetic filed? Right?

and Emily is his.....clone? I totally thought she was his kid from the future...but no....same finger print. Clone, right? (hide spoiler)]

and (view spoiler)[ Kendrick and Stewart are still back in 2009 (hide spoiler)]
and(view spoiler)[ Healy is a bad bad man. and he sends agents there that won't conform or help - to The Vortex
but I still can't figure out what he wanted Jackson to do.
save people? travel more so there would be more worlds? and more portals? (hide spoiler)]

Tempest(view spoiler)[ doesn't exist in the future? (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

21 chapters.

Holly (view spoiler)[sad that she has been pulled into all this too. They are using her as a pawn to get to Jackson so anything can really happen to her. (hide spoiler)]

Jackson (view spoiler)[I am glad he has someone to rely on too. I wonder how much longer his dad will be missing. I hope he is okay. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Finished.

I agree I am more confused now than I was earlier in the book.

future (view spoiler)[that was the gist I got that they are all held in the 3200 future and the dad is the version from the past as well as Mason and Courtney, Holly is not altered??? and Jackson is a younger version??? I think you are right that Emily is his clone. this is all so confusing trying to keep this straight. (hide spoiler)]

Healy (view spoiler)[he is such a bad guy, but I am with you I am unsure what exactly he wanted Jackson to do. (hide spoiler)]

Kendrick and Stewart (view spoiler)[I was liking both of them but I think they are stuck back in 2009 too like you said. Will they be able to get to the 3200 to help the rest of the crew or are they stuck for good? (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! We did it! We're done with #2

lol are you interested in completing this and reading #3??

it's got some really great reviews

[Amanda]

Sure I'd like to read book 3. Might as well finish the series. When were you thinking?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

um....is next month too far away?

[Amanda]

No that's fine. I have to order the book outside my library system anyways and that can take up to 2 weeks to get here.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

any day in October work best?

[Amanda]

I am good anytime in October you can pick the day.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]
