(view spoiler)[Well, I guess that's what happens when fear takes over, no rational mind left. Often the ones who have suffered most, lose it when they experience a bit of power/control: it's better to control than be controlled, is what they have learned. (hide spoiler)]

Really impressive indeed. I deed feel sorry for Mason though :'(

Yes, if the government plans on using them, well, we've seen what they can do when they got to East River.

Lol, well I already found her annoying and I still do... And yes, of course I feel for her seeing everything she's been going through (I believe it's the first person who gets killed because of her mind tricks but I guess what she hated the most was that she tortured the man and seemed to enjoy it...) but I don't know, it's just too much (and apparently it wasn't because of the translation into Dutch cause now I'm reading in English and it is the same thing).

Yes I think Liam will remember her eventually, not only because he "loves her so much" (lol) but because it's quite difficult to erase every single memory and replace others in such a way that it all adds up. Besides a memory consist of much more than images!!

I agree, they're "at war" and sometimes that means doing things you wouldn't have otherwise, I mean come on!
Vida is growing on me too :) And Jude, well Jude is just Jude and I love him. He just wants to be a good person, to be seen and liked by the people he likes and to have the feeling that he's worth it (and don't we all?) :)

I never warmed up to jude, he annoyed me from the beginning! His abilities are awesome and he is seriously powerful for such a young kid. But his personality? Not for me 🤷

Hahaha, well luckily it’s like in the real world, everybody has his own preferences 😉

Interesting... I hadn't thought about that, just took her for a woman searching for food or something. And although it is not the person texting her, she might turn out to be of significance indeed....

It must be horrible indeed, not knowing what is real, what's not, how much you may still not remember.
As he said (and I mentioned before too), (view spoiler)[she didn't erase his feelings nor his memory of them on the beach (although that didn't really happen, it did reference Ruby)... (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[He has to be alive! Didn't they only find a shoe and the compass? For "there was nothing to get" when Ruby wanted to go in and retrieve his body.... Right? Has to be!.... (hide spoiler)]

Loved the story. Ruby still annoys and irritates me. Often I don't get why she's angry or sad, other times she plays it cool and hard. It just doesn't feel real to me. I think part of the problem lies in the writing. I can't real put my finger on it (apart from the feeling I sometimes get that sentences are missing, just as I said about book 1) but it does take a little away from my liking the book. That's why I'm keeping it to 4 stars (rounded down from 4.5).

(view spoiler)[if i remember correctly, there was nothing to get because he was crushed under the debris of the explosion... (hide spoiler)]

Exactly! So no confirmation possible! So that means he could have gotten away!

But maybe I just watch too much television.... or I’m still in denial lol)

[Angela Jr.]

(view spoiler)[from my understanding, the shoe was still on the foot... I don't remember the exact wording, but that's what i imagined the scene like - one of his legs sticking out from under the debris. I could be wrong! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Lol, there wasn’t mention of a foot, just a shoe. They did say they only saw him after seeing the shoe, but hey, that was how they chose to word it, maybe not wanting to upset Ruby any more than they had to... I know, I’m gripping at straws, I just don’t want to believe he’s really dead lol (hide spoiler)]

Same here! Hated the end! Looks like all those short stories have sad endings :'(

About the same as Vida's story, so nothing vital but interesting enough.
