[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay 5 chapters in

Anna (view spoiler)[ I can't believe how much she lied
when they were listing out all her contacts she had, all the things he'd said and left her....ugh I wish she wouldn't lie to everyone!! (hide spoiler)]

Williams (view spoiler)[ OMG he's right....it would have to be someone in the FBI leaking information to Thomas in order for him to have all the information....ugh.
(hide spoiler)]

Ethan (view spoiler)[ he really is amazing. he just takes this all in stride. crazy (hide spoiler)]

Teeny (view spoiler)[ my heart broke when she found out :( (hide spoiler)]

it's gooood so far!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters in

OMG (view spoiler)[ this is all going to crap so quickly! YIKES!!! Do you think he really killed Agent Parker? I wondered for a minute there if she was really in on it but then he explained why Anna is still alive....ugh, who could it be? that first asked to keep her alive? (hide spoiler)]

Thomas (view spoiler)[ is frightening. I hate that he got Teeny!!! (hide spoiler)]

Ethan (view spoiler)[ well...I'm glad they've kept him alive so long. he'll need to back off if he hopes to stay alive tho! (hide spoiler)]

wow.....it's getting really crazy!!

[Vicki]

I'm still reading Sleep No More, so I haven't started this one yet.

no worries :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

chapter 15

ugh (view spoiler)[ she's killing me. I mean, it's an interesting idea - being high maintenance
but annoying them and making them believe you are an annoyance JUST MIGHT not get you kept alive
she's playing a dangerous game (hide spoiler)]

Noah (view spoiler)[ Ugh....Williams' grandson. I am so sad by this. he's been there for 4 days. awful.
I wonder what this means tho (hide spoiler)]

Vader (view spoiler)[ OMG who is this
was there someone with a crush on Anna that I don't remember. because his reaction to Ethan AND his really fighting him earlier. it just sounds like a jealousy thing...hmmmmm (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

20 chapters

OMG I never never never (view spoiler)[ even thought of him!!
Tyler....from so long ago
I knew he seemed to still like her
and he seemed upset that she liked Ethan (hide spoiler)]

Ethan (view spoiler)[ UGH! NOW I'm worried because they are out and without protection
how did they gauge this so wrong?? he would have set her free...her and ethan and teeny
once he had the boss killed

what is going to happen now? (hide spoiler)]

Moteo (view spoiler)[ Did I spell that right?
well, anyway....what now? he's probably going to follow a trail to them
or Thomas can!! (hide spoiler)] Ugh!! (view spoiler)[ Thomas
he may just kill them now :( (hide spoiler)]

Noah (view spoiler)[ WHY?! why do they still have him and why did they pull him out?? there is more going on here
it doesn't make sense yet (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I think I got something like 25 pages read at work today. LOL Chugging right along! I had a mammogram after work and then came home with a headache, so I took some Advil and am going to go doze for 30 min to an hour. I really want to get into this one. I loved book 1. I want to see what's up with Agent Thomas. He definitely is (view spoiler)[ a dangerous and scary guy if I remember correctly. Did book 1 end with that note he left Anna? It seems to me like it did and I was like...WTH? (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no worries
I've had a headache most of the day today too
and because I have this one on my computer to read, I couldn't read it today. I'll read more tomorrow :)

I know! Agent Thomas is scary! YES! book 1 ended with ,(view spoiler)[
But they remind you of that in this book too :) it's really good about refreshing the details (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Thanks, Trisha. Hope you feel better too!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

aww thanks
did your nap help at all? I hope your headache goes away :(

[Vicki]

Yes, I took an Aleve so I'm better but tired. Lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

i love aleve as well!! it's all I take for my headaches. I have another one today :( so I've slept and read off and on all day ugh

Well. ....I'm done with this one!!

WOW the twists in the plot!!! amazing!! LOL I think you'll love it!!

Ethan (view spoiler)[ he's wonderful.I'm so glad he's not letting her go after all the lies. I'm so glad he can see where she was coming from - even if he's still mad (hide spoiler)]

Epilogue (view spoiler)[ was it just me?? I totally thought Tyler was watching her in Costa Rica. god I hope he leaves her alone now
but I'm glad he got away (hide spoiler)]

the show down (view spoiler)[ OMG that was intense
and I'm glad it ended well - but I'm also glad that Anna didn't have to kill anyone!!
crazy...all that shooting and talking. (hide spoiler)]

Hammond (view spoiler)[ thank goodness he came to the rescue! (hide spoiler)]

the bad guys (view spoiler)[ WOW! Agent Parker?!? I always thought them killing her seemed.....out of character at the moment they did it...but of course that was for Ethan and Anna's benefit - to see her killed so they would NEVER assume she was the mole.
what a horrible excuse for a human she was! GRR (hide spoiler)]

Teeny (view spoiler)[ I hope she gets to keep in touch with Noah
and I love that those letters meant so much to her. I hope she is able to solve the mystery - even if it doesn't end well...she seems to need to know (hide spoiler)]

OMG This one was So good!!

[Vicki]

Trisha, I also have another headache. Ugh...today was our first rally, senior walk-in rally, and after that was the huge senior group photo for yearbook. It's 4:00 and I just got home so I'm taking another Aleve and resting a little then reading.

I'm on page 125/309 so I might or might not finish tonight but I'm LOVING it!!!

I'm at the part where (view spoiler)[ Anna just met Noah and Thomas came in and threatened to beat up Ethan if she misbehaves. What a predicament! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ooh you're at a good part. craziness happens from here!! It's so crazy :) You'll love it!

[Kathy]

Hey guys! I'm starting this tomorrow! :)

[Vicki]

OMG KATHY!!!!! I'm SO FREAKING HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!

This one is REALLY GOOD!!!

[Vicki]

Responses to your ch. 20 spoilers:

I hadn't even remembered (view spoiler)[Tyler. Good thing they told how they met again. LOL He cares for Anna, I couldn't believe it when he said he was Thomas's brother!! That was crazy! I also was surprised that Ethan still had it in him to beat him up like that! (hide spoiler)]

Oh, I know. Those kids have been (view spoiler)[ through hell! And now they are on their own with a madman out hunting them down. I don't think it's looking good, but I think maybe Ethan will find a way out or MAYBE Tyler will wake up and figure out a way to help them. But I think Thomas will be TICKED OFF when he sees that they are gone and Tyler is beaten to a bloody pulp! (hide spoiler)]

Noah...(view spoiler)[ What happened to him? Yeah, I don't get why they have him either. If Williams is the mole, why do they have his grandson? Or isn't he the mole? I'm a wee bit confused about that. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished!

OMG this book really was good!

I'm a little angry with the author! She (view spoiler)[duped me! I totally thought the mole was Agent Parker until they "killed" her. LOL So I gave up on that and now she's alive? Okay, I had her pegged right! LOL But yes, she was a horrible person! She could have at least let Anna keep her hair. LOL (hide spoiler)]

I love that (view spoiler)[ Ethan was so truly in love with her and did what he had to do under each circumstance to protect her, even when he was hurt. (hide spoiler)]

I didn't get any notion that Tyler (view spoiler)[ was watching her in Costa Rica, but it would fit in with his character. But I was reading and fell asleep on the couch and woke up sometime around 4:00 and thenI kept trying to finish it and kept crossing my eyes and dozing off with a head nod. LOL So I might have missed something. lOL I don't see that there will be a third book. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, I had not idea how the show down was going to end. (view spoiler)[I'm glad she didn't have to kill either. I don't know if she could have done it. I'm so glad that Hammond was there and then Ethan and Will, too. It was perfect. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay! I'm so glad you loved it too!!

I'm sure Tyler (view spoiler)[ wasn't there, the author didn't mention it
but I was just waiting...
it was almost too good to be true for them to get their happily ever after (hide spoiler)]
