I might be slow in reading this one. Hope you don't mind xD"

I'm fighting myself not to finish, it's so good looool!.. you want me to wait for you?

[Christina]

@ashwag

No don't wait! Please enjoy it in your own pace :) Don't let me hold you back!

Chapter 23 - (view spoiler)[I'm glad how Kenji gave that lecture to Juliette and Juliette reflected on his words. She now realises that she's been a bit self centred and wants to change :)

Also I remember thinking in the first book that Kenji's skill was pretty darn stupid but now I've changed my mind. His invisibility is actually quite useful here and he can project his power to make Juliette disappear too. Otherwise Juliette wouldn't gotten caught by Warner (now he thinks he's having hallucinations haha)

(view spoiler)[I loved that moment as well, she needed that wake up speech so bad.. how is an invisibility stupid? it's the only power I think is worth having hehehehe! I wonder what he does with it in his free time LOL! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@ashwag
(view spoiler)[Because they never mentioned anything useful about Kenji's invisibility in the first book and it was random :P

Obviously he's been spying on Juliette and Adam haha (hide spoiler)]

LOL! true.. *sigh* I love him .. he should get his own series tbh

[Christina]

Chapter 39 - (view spoiler)[Warner and his relationship with Anderson is so bad. Anderson is such a horrible man. Why is it too soon to kill him??

But now another plot twist - Anderson is Adam's father?! Does that mean Warner and Adam are related / step brothers???? So much confusion!! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Oh my. I loved that scene with the dog. The boy with the green eyes and blond hair. Tainted by his father!! I'm a sucker for Warner too. Somehow Adam is being annoying right now. I can understand his desperation to be with Juliette but he's coming across weak

Poor Warner, his arm bled out the bandages because of his father ugh (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥ wrote: "Chapter 38 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yes it doesn't even make sense taking him hostage. Anderson treats him like crap and think he's a weakling.

But maybe the thought of Warner being with Juliette makes him really angry that he'll go after them (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[i can't fault the guy for loving her maybe he's even slightly obsessed.. if they turn out to be brothers not half-brothers I'd know for sure that it's in their DNA to be obsessed with Juliette LOL! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 41 - (view spoiler)[Murderer on my lap
Murderer on my lap
Murderer on my lap


LOL (hide spoiler)]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 41 - [spoilers removed]"

I know that was hilarious.. keep telling yourself that J? xD

Chapter 62 - (view spoiler)[it was kinda the way I imagined Warner's power to be.. he can draw and use anyone's power as an extension. That scene where he and Juliette were in the tunnel and experimenting their powers was great. I melted and then chapter 62 happened and I don't know what air is anymore. Even tho someone needed to teach J about priorities around the guys LOL! Adam is driving me crazy with his emotional outbursts! They're becoming way too often (hide spoiler)]

I might finish it tonight as I have nothing to do :)

[Christina]

@ashwag
ROFL In their DNA

[Marla]

Can I crash your buddy read? I'm reading this right now and I've been talking to myself in another group cuz their Buddy Read doesn't officially start until Dec 3.

[Christina]

@Marla
I'm still reading so I'll still be discussing this :)

Chapter 48 - (view spoiler)[James has the ability to heal - Quite random but useful. Should've known he would have some power too

"how would you like to start spending time with two very pretty girls?"

haha
(hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 58 - I knew it! (view spoiler)[I knew Warner had a similar ability to Adam except he could take someones power whilst not being affected by it personally.

Poor Adam drew the shorter straw lol. The tension between Adam and Warner is so thick! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 64- (view spoiler)[Juliette got too carried away with her feelings and then hurt Warner and then possibly put Omega Point in danger. She's getting on my nerves. Still quite self centred. All she thinks about is Warner and Adam. zzz (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Thanks for letting me ramble on...

Chapter 1-6: nothing much happens, except Juliette whine and feels sorry for herself and crushes on Adam
Chapter 7-9: (view spoiler)[Is Adam being tortured? Is that what has been wrong with him? Wow, Juliette is scary. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 10-12: Love Kenji's talks at Juliette. (view spoiler)[Though how Kenji can think this mess of a girl is together enough to concoct this intrigue is farfetched. Maybe Juliette will stop feeling sorry for herself. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 13-14: Okay, I may actually feel sorry for Juliette. (view spoiler)[The boy she loves is wearing himself down because he wants to touch her. She tries to reject him and ends up hurting him. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 15-22: (view spoiler)[Juliette going on a mission was very interesting and the change of scenery and moping was great. She is so stupid going after Warner, thank goodness for Kenji! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 23: Getting tired of the romantic dramatics.
Chapter 24-26: Training and even talking to Kenji is so good for Juliette.

[Marla]

Chapter 27-43: (view spoiler)[This hostage trade off sounds like a setup. I LOVE James and I've missed him. I'm glad he cleared the air with Juliette. I wonder if Juliette is trying to torture Adam, she keeps drawing attention to herself. Kenji's observation that she looks great and if she were his girl and he couldn't touch her, that he doesn't envy Adam.

Speaking of which, why exactly does Juliette's outfit have to be form fitting? She just needs to be covered. It doesn't help for her outfit to be skin tight. It could be a sweats or a baggy jumpsuit and gloves. So long as it didn't ride up on her body. I think this was purely for the benefit of the Omega Point males.

As expected, Warner's father, the Supreme Commander Anderson is a Class A jerk. But I was surprised at Juliette torturing him. Wow, I didn't see it coming that Adam and Warner were half brothers. Why didn't they take Anderson rather than Warner? (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 44-56: Juliette get distracted and has NO idea how to interrogate a prisoner. (view spoiler)[Juliette talking to Warner is all in Warner's advantage. Warner reading Juliette's diary comforts her that someone truly knows her instead of angering her for his violation of her privacy or creeping her out that this monster read her secret thoughts?

Juliette is falling for Warner? So his father is a monster, Adam didn't turn into a cruel manipulating jerk. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 57-62: Warner can (view spoiler)[channel other people's powers. Very cool and he's not affected by Juliette's power. Juliette messes around with Warner until she remembers Adam and stops. What kind of selective memory does she have that she only is attracted to the monster that is Warner? (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 63-65: (view spoiler)[Glad that they save most of the civilians. Good thing Kenji was good enough to go with them. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 66-73 (end): Juliette gets (view spoiler)[captured again. Anderson washes her up and cleans her up, so Warner has time to get there and watch her die? I thought Warner said his mother was dead. If Warner channels powers wouldn't some of Juliette's power backwash and hurt Sonya and Sara? Again, Juliette is so self-centered that only when Anderson hurts her then she's willing to get involved. While she is being bathed and sleeping in a comfy bed she forgot her friends who are fighting for their lives. Just like she forgets the love of her life when Warner is feeling her up. I am quite disappointed with the level of Juliette's self absorption. (hide spoiler)]

I don't know how I can like this book, when I don't trust or like Warner at all, Juliette is all about herself and Adam is all emotional and lovesick. Kenji is definitely a large part of the reason I like this book and the crazy descriptions that almost don't make sense.

[Marla]

I didn't appreciate Kenji's invisibility in the first book, but then I thought how Harry Potter's cool cloak always came in handy. And in a war, it would be a great tool for an assassin.

Christina wrote: "Chapter 48 - James"

James is a sweetie and I missed him in this book. I think it was better when he showed up. (view spoiler)[I'm glad that James is a healer instead of an aggressive power. And what male wouldn't want to hang out with the pretty twins. :D (hide spoiler)]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 58 - I knew it!"

I'm impressed. I had no clue, but you're right, Warner's power is much cooler (view spoiler)[than Adam's but especially because Adam fighting with the mutants. (hide spoiler)]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 64- [spoilers removed]"

Juliette is really annoying me too!

[Christina]

@Marla

In response to Chapter 27-43 IKR! (view spoiler)[Anderson would be a much better hostage! I mean Anderson pretty much sees Warner as a useless kid. It's just convenient for Juliette.Meh (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Marla

In response to chapter 66-73 (view spoiler)[What a load of bull the ending was where she got bathed and washed. It was so creepy. And Warner is creepy.

Somehow Juliette finds a new determination in the last page. Took long enough! (hide spoiler)]

I totally agree with your concluding statement. No wonder there's Team Adam and Team Warner. Adam was acting all weak and lovesick in this book. The only things he did in the book was look pained and beg Juliette to not give up on him.

The only part I liked about Warner was (view spoiler)[the scene with the puppy. Every other scene with Juliette was painful to read. He became as desperate as Adam, except he has a better power than Adam lol (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Thank you, Christina, (view spoiler)[there are so many Warner lovers that I expected to take heat about calling him a dangerous crazy. I think we are supposed to become more sympathetic to his character when we hear about his childhood and abuse, but the only way I'll like him is if all the evil and cruelty he dispensed were grossly exaggerated. I have a feeling we'll learn about the atrocities that Adam and Kenzie were involved in too. Sigh, war is hell. (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Can the date for this please be changed to April 7th? :)

Started! I'm up to chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Okay, what is up with Adam?? He's being so moody and irrational. If he really loved Juliette like he says he does, he'd talk to her about it. But no, he'd much rather avoid her and get mad at her, and feel her up in public. Which I HATE by the way. Juliette needs to calm down too, and have some proper conversations. Don't threaten Kenji and make him take you to see Adam. Talk. To. Adam. Kenji and Castle are the only ones being slightly normal at the moment. I'm falling madly in love with Kenji because of that (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

OhmyGod, Adam's power!!! (view spoiler)[ That's horrible! Poor Juliette. They want each other so badly, but it hurts him so much. Although I don't think they need to break up over it. I think they'd be fine if they just touched a lot less. I wonder why Warner can touch her? That's very weird... (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Victoria wrote: "OhmyGod, Adam's power!!! [spoilers removed]"

I agree Victoria (view spoiler)[ Adam's power is horrible. I felt bad for Adam that Warner can touch her. Kenji is my favorite. (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Up to chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ Good for Kenji! He's right, Juliette takes too much for granted. There are people with way bigger problems than a stupid guy. I've been thinking that for a while, I'm glad someone finally said it. That plan could have gone terribly wrong, with Warner putting her off so much. She's so frustrating! (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

How far through this are you? :)
Chapter 40 (view spoiler)[ Um, what? Not liking that plot twist... Adam and Warner are brothers? Sorry, how does that make ANY sense? Very very unhappy. But I do like their dad. He's just the right amount of evil. If Juliette gets together with Warner, I'll be really mad. She has a good reason for not being with Adam, and that applies to Warner too.
EPHIPHANY. That's why both of them can touch her! It runs in the family! Adam does have the power they found out about, but I guess Warner could too? I wonder if it would work on James or either parent? (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Chapter 55 (view spoiler)[ How can she possibly like Warner? I love him, but that's because I always love the bad guy. In real life, there's no way I'd actually be in a relationship with him. But Juliette believes he can be good, so is dumb enough to fall for him. Why not Kenji?He's not a moron. He's not afraid of telling Juliette the truth, and he's so cute with James. But no, fall for the psychopath why don't you! (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ THAT ENDING. I was absolutely convinced that it was going to end on the line "he shot me in the chest". And then I wasn't sure where the girls were, so I didn't know how she could get out of that. Of course she made it, there's a third book... But I guess that shows how well it was written, because I was freaking out. I wish we could have seen more in the battle. Maybe if Juliette wasn't so self absorbed, we could have. I know she'd nearly died, but then all she did was think about the others. Why not ask Warner? I don't want to see how this love triangle pans out, because she's an idiot with both of them. But I do want to know how the battle turns out, so I must read the last one! (hide spoiler)]

[xma24x]

heey am reading it now and it's amaaaazing :)

[xma24x]

i was totally shocked that Adam have this power ! i mean i was happy when i found out that he can touch her but then BAAAAM it's all because of his power !

[xma24x]

because am reading this now , can this date be changed to 17 April ?

[Marla]

Victoria, my comments about the book start on Message 67 if you're interested.

I'm definitely a Kenji fan too! And I just want to shake Juliette. (view spoiler)[Stop whining and being so self-absorbed and practice controlling your power. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Can I join in on this one?

[Melanie]

I'll be joining!

[Twila]

I think I'll be joining as well

[Courtney]

I will be starting this one soon.

[Paulien]

I'm up to chapter 45 (view spoiler)[ I think Warner isn't that bad anymore... I seems pretty nice, but he's in love with her so we can't guarantee that. He doesn't seems that bad, but I thought Adam and Aaron being brothers, that was kind of a surprise! (hide spoiler)]

[Paulien]

Chapter 47 (view spoiler)[ Oh, this is breaking my heart... But then Aaron comes and makes everything they were saying to each other a joke. I really thought this was the moment of them getting back together... (hide spoiler)]

[Paulien]

chapter 48 (view spoiler)[ "I need this guy over to the medical wing. That okay?"
"But I'm not hurt anymore."
"I know, kid, but you're going to want to come with me."
"But why"
"How would you like to start spending some time with two very pretty girls...?" (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ "Warner is one of us." (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapters 1-3 Honestly it is kind of boring right now, but that might be because I am tired. It could also be that (view spoiler)[ it seems awkward between Juliette and Adam. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Juliette's killing me. Why can't she just talk English? (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I didn't know Juliette had such anger issues. Yeesh

And she's Mr. Incredible now? (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ I really love Kenji for putting her in her place and to stop being a baby (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 39 (view spoiler)[ OMG. So they're brothers? (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Chapter 50 (view spoiler)[ I think Castle is being idiotic to allow Warner to stay there just because he's 'one of us'. This is a murderer we're talking about! How can he just overlook that? (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

I'm starting this today or tomorrow.
