Agree!


I was never a big Adam fan, but I gotta say that he turned out to be even worse than I imagined. All he did throughout the book, when not worrying about James, was worry about Juliette, and think about how she was too weak to take care of herself, and how she was the weakest link at Omega Point. I thought he was dull before, but now I know he is absolutely not what Juliette needs.

This is my first time with an Amanda Hocking book and so far I like it though the whole Wendy/Finn thing is kinda weird like I'm not feeling that dynamic romantically.


Same. I wasn't expecting much from him to begin with like I just thought he'd spend the whole time getting sappy about his "undying love" for Juliette and making plans for her to take him back but I was soooo not expecting the attitude from him. I mean, Juliette sees him as this beacon of all that is good and right with the world especially in the little Ignite Me snippet at the end and to read his real thoughts about her, I'm just like "Oh, hon...."



Agree completely! It was kinda unexpected.


Ohhh. Love this series!



Me too Donna :D


I dont hold it against him that he chose to save his brother over Juliette, but I really hated how much he was belittling Juliette in his thoughts. That was a big no-no for me.

Larva High School - part 2, Respect and Resilience
Larva High School - part 3 Expectations & Endurance
Larva High School - part 4 Influence and Independence
This series kept me reading into the wee hours. I loved it and HIGHLY recommend it. It really had me captured.
Here's the blurp to the first one.
How do you go back to school after your life collapses at your very first party?
For freshman Sara, going back to school means facing her boyfriend Ben, who made out with another girl at the party, and her best friend Amber, a.k.a the-girl-Ben-made-out-with. How do you pick up the pieces when the people you trusted the most betrayed you? Do you stand by and watch others tyrannize and bully your former best friend for what she did to you? And who’s to blame if she decides to kill herself? Not to mention – could it really be possible that in the middle of all this pain and confusion – you can find love?
Larva High School gives you an honest look into teen life and is one of those rare books that make you cry, laugh, and wish that you were part of the story.


I'm cheering for him to get his HEA too Annie. I think they all deserve to find happiness :)


I think he's frustrated and hurt and insecure Rebecca. With everything that's happened between them I think he's looking for ways to cope. I think his anger has him lashing out at her and even at himself. We'll have to wait and see where she takes the story in book 3. That sneak peek at the end of Fracture Me really setup for an interesting journey for sure :)

Oh, lord, just reading your post has my stomach in knots. I really hope Adam doesn't get left behind, I'll just be sick.

I'm still not sure one way or another, Erin. Just read it. It doesn't take long to read. It definitely leaves more questions than answers though. And Adam, my poor Adam... You forget how young they really are in this book. And that is brought up as well. Oh and as a closet Warner fan (hehe), he also makes a swoon worthy appearance;)


Oh now you really have me salivating over this one Paula. Will have to move it up my TBR list :)


I was so happy when I saw that more books had been added Erin :)


Oh Erin this was a really nice surprise I enjoyed it a lot. The world building was unique and the characters nicely complex. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series.

Oh yes Laura, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The narrator on the audio was really good too :)
