[Melanie]

26%

(view spoiler)[This has been nonstop suspense! It takes bravery for Janet to talk with him...knowing what the conductor did in the past when she went against him. (hide spoiler)]

I know!!! I almost didn't know if i could continue after that. Threatening to brand the eye??? *shivers*

[Melanie]

Im about 40% done

(view spoiler)[this is crazy! I felt like i was near the end and then something crazy happened and now i don't know what will happen next!! (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

Finished

(view spoiler)[WHOA! THE LAST SO MANY CHAPTERS WERE CRAZY AND I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!! I loved how they tricked him into thinking she was killed and I love that Cody saved Haas instead of going after the conductor. The ending about the beekeeper was intriguing -- I think that is the conductor, just a new name??? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I wasn't surprised Janet's sister was threatened...I was a little surprised that she didn't anticipate that.

I was a bit confused when Mitchell told Haas they found his car... which meant they got the weapons. Haas had taken an Uber, because the the car they'd been using had the tires shredded and Hopkins vehicle didn't have the keys. They were then dropped off blocks from armory and stashed then behind a recycling container. So how did finding his car help with the weapons? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I liked how they faked her death too.

The Beekeeper could easily be the conductor, but I have a feeling that it's either the one who taught him or another person protege. (hide spoiler)]

Oh!!! That could totally be! I was just thinking it was him, but it could be the one who taught him. O.o
