OMG, you're hilarious and I feel the exact same way about pretty much everything you said. :D

[Twila]

This book has so much drama. And not to mention Romance OVERKILL

OM..."

HAHAHAH, when books are terrible, you have to find humor :P

[Melanie]

64%
(view spoiler)[
So Warner and Adam are half-brothers?! And Warner just told Castle he can touch Juliette without consequence?! Crazy! I know Adam is going to feel betrayed when he learns that Juliette knew of this and didn't tell him... (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Melanie wrote: "64% [spoilers removed]

(view spoiler)[ I can't understand why Juliette didn't tell this to Adam ages ago, when it's kind of important. He deserves so much better than her. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

Twila wrote: "Melanie wrote: "64% [spoilers removed]

[spoilers removed]"

I agree! (view spoiler)[
I'm not a fan of love triangles, so I didn't like how Juliette kissed Warner the way she did, while also having feelings for Adam. I'm giving the book 2.5 stars because while I did find it interesting, there were just some things I didn't like (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

I'm late, but can I join this one? :)

[Twila]

Of course :D
I can still discuss it with you

[Sibil]

Yay! Thank you! :)

[Courtney]

I am so far behind on this book. Ugh stupid responsibilities lol

[Sibil]

chapter 1-4 (view spoiler)[I read the first one some time ago, so I didn't remember a lot but it's ok. Some things are coming back and I'm happy, and confident that the rest will come back soon.
I just read the firsts chapters, but for now I think I'm liking it. Yes, the writing sometimes is a little... strange, but I found it quite funny... or peculiar, so I don't dislike it, for now.
I love Kenji, he makes me smile, and I hope nothing bad would happen to him, while Adam is "scaring" me... what's wrong with him???? (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapters 4-6 There is so much romance in this. It is getting so hard to read. (view spoiler)[Wow! Juliette has some anger issues. (hide spoiler)]

I totally agree with you on chapter 24!!!

I want to read more of this book yesterday, but I totally forgotten about . Lucky a friend of mine remind me of it and so I had to stop this reading and go to read the novel (view spoiler)[and now I'm totally in love with Warren *_* (hide spoiler)] but, lucky me!, I could read more of it today! :)

chapter 5-27 (view spoiler)[ Mafi's writing is very... peculiar, but I like it, for now. I think that it's good because the book is in first person and so it's all more personal, more unique and more realistic. I think that she has done a good job, but sometimes it's very strange.
And Juliette... I think I'm starting to dislike her. I can understand her point of view, and I know that somethings can scar a person for life, but she's a pity party with two legs! She's a whiner!!!! And ok, tha part in wich she speak about killing it's ok, and she is right, but all the rest is a drag! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ So Castle can make people disappear? I'm confused. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

The next book is much better than this one, so stick with it. Juliette finally stops being so whiny.

Twila wrote: "Chapter 30 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Me too! I loved Kenjii for putting her in her place... she was become really annoying! And Warner and Adam brothers? It's so strange!!!!!!! And I agree with you also on the metter Warner is "one of us". I like Warner, I like him very much, I think is my favourite characters so far, but it's just a little bit to naive... I mean, he is the enemy!!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

Marla wrote: "The next book is much better than this one, so stick with it. Juliette finally stops being so whiny."

Really? Oh, yay! I'm so glad to read that!!!! *__*

chapters 28-50 (view spoiler)[So... here Juliette is a little bit less whiny but she's more a martyr, and I don't like it more. So, I'm liking the book, so far, but not so much Juliette. But maybe now we'll se more action and not just her.
Warner's father is a well done character, but I dislike it! He's so bad!!! I'm sorry for Warner that had to grown up with him! :( But Warner is again in the picture, hurray! And the scene in which Juliette meet again Warner was fantastic! I loved it! And then Juliette shoot Warner's father! I couldn't believe it! Wow! Way to go girl!!!!
But Warner and Adam are brothers? Are you kidding me! I don't like this! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ Holy cow. I was not expecting that to be Adam's power. (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 13 [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, his power is just like Bella Swan's power. I wouldn't mind a power like that. It's really good defence because then no one will be able to hurt him with their minds.

[Courtney]

Chapter 14 - 17 (view spoiler)[ I feel bad Adam got hurt, but it has picked the story up for me. Hopefully the romance stays away, and more action happens. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 18-23 (view spoiler)[ I really like Kenji right now, its about time someone shuts Juliette up. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapters 24-27 (view spoiler)[ Wow! If Juliette was not so whiny and lovey dovey she would make a kick ass heroine. Also, how the hell did Warner's dad get four of Omega Point's men? It seems like the book is about to get really good. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 28-38 (view spoiler)[ Did Adam just say Anderson is his father? Holy cow was not expecting that one. Although if that is true then Adam and Warner are brothers. Interesting. (hide spoiler)]

I actually like Adam. I didnt realize some people didnt like him haha. I thought the same thing with chapter 50.

I thought (view spoiler)[ the whole brother thing was a surprise plot twist. (hide spoiler)]

Destory Me defiantly showed a new side of Warner.

[Courtney]

Chapter 52 (view spoiler)[ First of all, I find it really annoying that Warner is reciting Juliette's journal. Then turning around and telling her when his father is going to be attacking. What game is he trying to play? Or is he actually going to be a good guy? Doubt it, but it would be a good twist. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 52 [spoilers removed]"

Being a reformed journal writer, (view spoiler)[it would drive me crazy that someone was reading my journal. So I hate Warner for reading and more so for taunting her. Why did Warner warn her? Hey, I just noticed that warn is in Warner's name. Is that on purpose?

I'm not a Warner fan at all, in fact, he's so messed up that I worry about the fangirls who adore Warner. (hide spoiler)]

chapters 28-5..."

Yes, me too, but I don't like it very much... it's just too drama.

finished (view spoiler)[ I loved the last chapters, and I have hope for the third one, but all considered I didn't like very much this book. Juliette can be a kick-ass heroine (and maybe she would be so in the last one) but here she's always, always, always, whining and all the characters go around with a lot of self-loathing and it's annoying, at least for me. But I liked very much to discuss the book, so thank you for the buddy reading! :) (hide spoiler)]

[Adriana]

Started this early!

Ch. 2 (view spoiler)[ I understand how Juliet is feeling. The way she sunk back into herself makes sense especially since people don't like her. Don't trust her. It's the way she's taught herself how to deal with things. And now she doesn't have a view of the outside world ): (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 4 (view spoiler)[ Kenji is literally my favorite person ever in this series other than Warner. He is so easy crack a joke and I'm annoyed that Adam is quick to attack him. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 9: (view spoiler)[ This is part of her power that I would like. She's like indestructible. I love it. She did hurt herself so I kind of spoke too soon but still. Creating an earthquake with her fist? Awesome. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 14 (view spoiler)[ I hate how weak Juliette gets with Adam. I'm tired of him. I want her to realize how great she is. Live up to her potential like Warner says. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 15 (view spoiler)[ I like that she sees Warner more for who he is and that he is a production of his father. But he still has a heart like her. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 25 (view spoiler)[ All of this chapter is pure gold because what if she was Kenji's enemy? He wouldn't think that her power was so great anymore. I love this speech! (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 36 (view spoiler)[ Warner seems so human now. I love it! She can't deny that she feels at least sorry for him because she fought his father for what he did to Aaron. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 62 (view spoiler)[ This whole chapter was agonizing. But she's right. He needs to accept that he should change. He needs to become a better person to be worth being around. (hide spoiler)]

Done: (view spoiler)[ It's so convenient how Warner came back into her life. I think he forgives her or just doesn't care. He just didn't want her to die. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

I want to read Destroy Me before this, so I may start a day later :(

@Adriana Started and finished! Glad to see you liked it that much.

[Katty]

i still havent finished shatter me either im going to start a little bit late so take ur time :)

[Carrie]

5% (view spoiler)[ Didn't take long to start the repeating to remind me of one of the things that annoyed me with this story. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

10% (view spoiler)[ So are we adding in a love triangle in this one or at least a hint of one now? (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

28% (view spoiler)[ The RR cards are supposed to sound horrible but if you think about it how far off are we of basically the same thing now? Credit cards can be traced, cell phones can be traced, there are cameras everywhere to track and you definitely need to show ID if asked. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Ending thoughts (view spoiler)[ I forgot where I was at to make a few more comments a long the line there but I wasn't surprised with Warner and his father but still not a Warner fan myself, there was a bit too much back and forth with Juliet and Adam for my taste. Still just kind of OK with the series overall. (hide spoiler)]

[Michaela]

I am late but will probably start tomorrow.

[[deleted user]]

Chapter 3:
(view spoiler)[To be honest, it surprised me when at the end of book 1, she was so friendly with everyone . Whilst I was happy for her, it makes sense why now she's more closed.
Everyone (or mostly everyone) at Omega Point has a power, so they should be more considerate with Juliette. It could be them with a mortal touch. And they probably have been bullied or isolated too. They must know how she feels. I get they're scared, especially since she hasn't started training yet, but they haven't given her the benefit of the doubt.
On the other hand, neither has she. She has completely shut down. It's one thing to not be socializing with everyone, but at least her roommates.
Also, I guess we're going to see more Kenji, and that's great! (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Sadly, I have to abandon this. I haven't made any progress with the book (been having trouble reading) and I've been through a lot of reading slumps these past months to risk it.
I see that you've all read and enjoyed it so hopefully I can read it soon.

I'll start this one after I finish

[Morgan]

Ch. 14 (view spoiler)[ Okay so Juliette's super strength is crazy. Like she almost collapsed the whole omega pointe complex. This new development with Adam is interesting. I hadn't considered that he might have powers. I'm really annoyed that despite the fact that they had just been warned they still decided to have a make out session and unsurprisingly Adam nearly dies. (hide spoiler)]
