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.

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...."
I haven't had much reading time during the holiday season so I went for an easy Kindle read...
so far it has been good, but I am only a couple of chapters in.

I finally got to read
last night and I liked it. I really enjoyed getting to witness their vulnerabilities. I may be among the minority here, but the fact that Adam was unsure and worried over James was okay for me. I mean they're all pretty young and dealing with so much death and anger and uncertainties that to expect them to never cave is just not realistic, at least for me. So the fact that we get to see inside Adam's head and his feeling and thoughts and doubts was a good thing. And yes, he had a lot of doubts about Juliette's abilities, strengths, feelings etc. But again, for me, that was also a good thing because the issues are there and the sooner they acknowledge them the better off they'll be. I loved that in his heart and mind James came first. So excited to know what's going to happen next. Can not wait for book 3 to come out!

That was a big no-no for me.
Sensitivity & StrengthLarva 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.
Belkis, I'm still team Adam. I don't care how lame his novella is. I still think Adam deserves an hea. Period. It'll be interesting to see who she chooses in the end.

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 :)

Totally agree!! Donna it's like we have ALL the same favorites!!

Just keep reading Mel. There's a reason for that! Amanda Hocking is good at keeping you guessing in this trilogy.
I also finished
and loved it. This is a series I'm definitely going to be continuing. Now reading
and continuing my reread of Cat & Bones with book 2
:)
I'm soooo behind on this thread once again!! I got
the day it came out, but got caught up doing other stuff and haven't gotten around to it yet! I'm dying to read it though. And then
was released and now I'm torn not knowing which to start first. I hate when several books you've been waiting on come out at the same time!!
finished
and LOVED it even though it was sad but it was very realistic how it ended.In these kind of worlds everyone living happy ever after is just not in the cards and very unrealistic but then again I loved Mockingjay and a lot of people didn't like that ending.reading
and I didn't really like Brooke going in but she is really growing on me.I am enjoying getting a look inside her head and can't wait for
.I don't know what to read next I was going to read Shatter Me but I just read a dystopian series and don't want to read two in a row.
Oh Bridget - Fracture Me will only take you a few hours. It's so short! Then dive right into Shine. I am enjoying the hell out of it right now! Not disappointing!!
In all honesty,
is killing me. It had me so out of my comfort zone I thought I will need a GPS to find my way back. It made my heart race, made me nauseous, made me wince and wail like a banshee, it made me angry, it made me hate and now it makes me love and swoon. This book rocks. One of my best reads of 2013.

haha. I just look at what you recommend & know I'll like it!
Well I finished
and it seems like there will be quite a few surprises in the finale. February sure seems like a long time from now! She seemed to be setting us up for what's going to happen as far as the love triangle goes. That's just my opinion though.

at the theatre and it was amazing! I loved it! Saw commercials for Vampire Academy (looks lame) and Divergent which looks like it might be decent."Oh Tiana I saw the movie for Catching Fire too and loved it. And Divergent does look promising. I'll probably go and watch it.

coming next month. And I saw that there's going to be 2 more books.
Colin's story &
Owen's story.

I had OTE as a group read in another group I was in, and I never got around to it. Glad to hear you loved 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;)

The world building was unique and the characters nicely complex. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series.

Its Cage & Tegans story and well it was rather meh considering its Deuces sons story.But I did like it more than Danis story. Maybe because it also feels like its a "full circle" kinda book. But of curse the story does go on! Bridget wrote: "Laura wrote: "Finished

I just don't know if I can. I read a few reviews, and it's making me nervous about the whole series at this point. This was one of those series for me where I NEED things to go a certain way. Yeah, I love Warner (hellooo, he's delish), but between the past pain she and Adam shared and what he does and becomes in order to save her, it would just be wrong on so many levels if he ends up losing her to the (let's face it) psycho-obsessive hottie. Nothing really compares to what they had in my opinion, but that hasn't stopped authors from shattering a love story in the past so...we'll see!
