I just finished reading Becomig Us, all previous books I devour in hours, but being the second to the last of the series , I decided to take my time and enjoy every chapter every word. Is for me very sad to see the series come to an end, the story of Jade and Garret has captivated me completely.
Becomig Us started with the suspense that Finding Us left us. I am very glad to know that my predictions were correct.
I really liked seeing the approach of William, he seems the opposite as Royce and much like Arlin witch would be I think very good for Jade, to finally had family around to count with.
On the other side seeing more of Pearce broke my heart...it's so good seeing how much he has changed... But learning more about his past is so sad!
I hate Holton!!! I wish I could understand his reasons for destroying his son life, but I can't comprehend how a father can be so heartless, so mean, so cold, devious with his only son, his very own blood!
Now how Pearce is going to fix this... How he's going to stop Holton, he has to much power and he's not a good person, he doesn't have a heart. But Pearce does and he's not capable of doing something to his Dad or...yes?
Anyway I think some secrect finally must have to be revealed in order of Jade and Garret be together and have their HEA !

In sum 2/3rds fluff and a cliffhanger ending. I really hate how each character's inner monologue sounds almost exactly the same and there is little to no interesting dialogue. Half their thoughts are repetitive and the very few plot points often feel forced. At the beginning of the series the characters weren't so one dimensional and actually had a little personality. The series went way down hill and I don't know why I continue reading other than I'm obviously one of those people who needs to see how the train wreck ends - even though it's guaranteed to be a predictable ending of boring sex that they both love, hearing them express ad naseum how much they love each other, the grandpa gets brought down, and everyone loves happily ever after including Harper and Sean, Garret's dad, and all the other good characters in a series where there is no gray (aka anything realistic). It'll contain at least half repetitive fluff which we have read in every book up to this point and which could be interchangeable with any of the other books because it is so unoriginal. No complexity, no depth, in a book that can be read in a couple hours. I will give one extra star for the mere fact that for some bizarre reason I actually intend to finish the series.

I've been reading this series through because I wanted to know where it would wind up. The over descriptive nature of the writing gets a bit tiring after a while, so that makes it a bit hard to keep my attention at times, but it also seemed like Jade started to revert to some socially challenged child in this book. There were points where it seemed like she didn't understand simple social constructs that a girl, who apparently did really well in high school and does well in university, should be fully aware of. She is smart in class but extremely dumbed down socially? I have a hard time swallowing that. It almost makes the fact that they have sex uncomfortable because it starts to feel like he may be taking advantage of her apparent cognitive disability.

More threats! Is it the Organization or do they have another enemy that they are suspecting?
Broken relationships, new members recruited for the Organization, and when will the secret of who Jade's father really is come out?
Regardless of what is thrown at Garret and Jade the love that they feel for each other never fades and keeps getting stronger.
This could be a 5 star book but it's just frustrating to be 8 books in and still have so many unanswered questions, and some unnecessary scenes that didn't add anything to the story. Characters added that aren't needed: Kyle, Dylan, Nate, and especially Brook. What's the point?

Things are getting sticky
I am seriously loving this series. It’s not nearly as spicy as most of the series I read. However, the story more than makes up for it. The story is compelling, but underneath it all, you will fall in love with Garret. He should be every woman’s book boyfriend. This ended on quite the cliffhanger, and it will be interesting to see how it all gets wrapped up in the final book.

It's getting tense I can't wait to read the finale instalment and I am wondering how Garret will get out off this situation.

You guys we are getting close to the end of the series and I don’t want it to end! After all these books I’m so immersed in the world that is Jade & Garret. I also loved all the side characters and my heart is breaking for Harper and Sean. I said it once and I will keep on saying it again: I love Pearce. The transformation he makes just as a side character is amazing to read. The amount of mystery in these books is also on point. It is what makes me want to keep on reading and I love how the story sometimes takes unpredictable turns. Man. that cliffhanger is just crazy and I am so glad I started the reread of this series when every book was already out. Definitely recommending the series as a whole to anyone who loves a book with romance, action and A LOT of mystery.

3,5*
Kolejna część znowu wydaje mi się zbyt rozwleczona. Autorka za bardzo trzyma w napięciu przez całą książkę, żeby na samym końcu wysadzić czytelnika w powietrze. Początek książki szybko wyjaśnił niebezpieczną sytuację z końcówki poprzedniej części. Okazało się, że nie było tak niebezpiecznie i dramatycznie, jak się zapowiadało. W tej części dziadek Holton, który awansował na najwyższy szczebel organizacji zaczyna knuć. Przede wszystkim zaczyna pracować nad naprawieniem medialnego wizerunku Garreta, domyślając się, że to była mistyfikacja, by wyciągnąć go z organizacji i robi wszystko, by na nowo go przywrócić, ale na drodze stoi Jade... I stawia jasno, albo się z nią rozwiedzie, albo straci jak matkę... Wyjaśnia się, o co chodziło z tajemniczymi włamaniami do domów. Gdyby nie zapobiegliwość Pearce'a, żeby założyć w domu instalację alarmową i kamery, mogłoby się skończyć naprawdę dramatycznie. A teraz pojawia się na horyzoncie tajemniczy Justin, wypytujący o Jade... Związek Seana i Harper również przeżywa kryzys, bo ojciec Harper ma dołączyć do organizacji, a żeby tak się stało, Harper nie może z byle kim się spotykać. Po wstąpieniu ojca do Dunamisu będą ją obowiązywały takie same zasady zawierania ślubów, jak inne dzieci organizacji. Czy uda im się uratować ich związek? Już teraz rodzice Harper grożą jej wydziedziczeniem, jak nie zerwie z Seanem. Dużo pytań, odpowiedzi pewnie poznamy w ostatniej już części.

I love this series! CLIFFHANGER. Can't wait for the next book.
I hope William will be able to help Jade and Garret since he is also a member of the organization and well he just seems nice, like completely the opposite of Royce.
BTW does anyone else believe that Justin might be Carson, I just don't get why would Carson be mentioned randomly by Harper saying that he transfered and no one knows where he is studying now if he liked Connecticut.
Harper and Sean have to end together. They are just so sweet and they are both so heartbroken.
I hate Holton and I just hope that Pearce will kill him or do something to stop him because he deserves it.
Allie Everhart, you have to give us a happy ending. PLEASE!

I love these books!!! Oh my holy goodness! My heart is going to give out because of the palpitations this book gave me! I cannot believe the depth of awful evilness that Holton has. He is beyond horrible. He deserves to be sent straight to hell. I just don't understand how he hasn't been punched in the face by any of them yet. And I cannot believe they aren't telling Jade...yah that ALWAYS works out for the best. Everything was becoming perfect and wonderful, and then all of the poop hit all of the fans. I'm also just so heartbroken by the Sean/Harper situation. Anyhow, this is one of my favorite series and once again, I'm dying for the next book!
May 24, 2015
This book.....WOW! Allie is an incredible author! In this book, Jade and Garret are faced with some problem that not only affect their future but the present as well. Not only are they facing these problems, they also have to struggle when Jades BFF is having major problems also. Not only is Harper faced is a tough decision she also has to deal with not playing tennis ever again. At the end of the book, Garret and is dad are put in a difficult position, when Garrets grandfather decides to show up in California and reveal some secrets that happened 10yrs ago. But will Garret and Pearce figure out a way to make it all go away? Will Jade find out? Only book 8 will tell :)

OH MY FREAKIN WOW!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! The story continues. I don't know how much more I can take. Lol. The not knowing what's gonna happen next is gonna make me insane. Lol. Anyone who has been reading this series can't help but fall in love with every characters. I EXTREMELY recommend this series to everyone. It has everything you could possibly want in a story especially mystery and suspense that will keep you guessing til the end.

Love this series and I'm sad that after one more book it will be ending, but I am ready to get some answer's and see them get their HEA (and hopefully see the organization go down)! I hope Holton (Grandfather) gets what he deserves and that Pearce is the one who hands it to him, because really, that bomb dropped at the end of the book was a shocker! And Holton deserves whatever is coming to him. Can't wait for book 8!
December 17, 2014
WHYYYY is this series so good?!?!
This book is definitely worth 5 stars, along with every other book in the jade series. They hook you right from the first couple pages and leave you almost begging for more at the end of every book! Jade and Garret are perfect, they have the love every girl wants, minus the whole "orginization" problem of course. EVERYONE should read these books! You won't regret it (:

wow
Who would have thought after 7 of these books with same characters I would get the WOW affect. But I did. Jade and Garret's story is one that makes you laugh out loud and cry. Very awesome all of them. Love the new characters introduced throughout the series. Love the writing style and how both jade and garret get to tell their point of view. Love how he loves her with all he has and she is learning what it is to be truly loved. Keep writing more jade and Garrett

Gosh! Will these books ever stop surprising me? I doubt it! I mean you finally feel like things are good and then all of a sudden hell breaks lose! It's one of those books you are glad that once you put it down your life isn't at all as hard as the stuff they are going through. I can not wait for all the questions to be answered I'm so hooked! Who knew randomly picking one book would take you on a seven book adventure!

You have to love them...
You just have to love jade and Garrett.. she's a bit of a mess but this doesn't deter Garrett, he loves jade fiercely, so what is he willing to do to keep jade? Or does he get to keep her at all? And their besties Sean and Harper, what has happened to them? Or grace? Has anyone new came along? Has Katherine finally accepted jade? Those are all questions that we finally get answers to, or somewhat answers to.. happy reading..

** 3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐ **
It was OK and was not that different from what already had been developed through out the series, thus the repetitions were tiresome. The second half was more exciting and had more action/mystery but not as much as the first books. Jade showed a little bit more about how broken she was by her mother, and some of her thoughts were really messed up. I hope that the last book has more character development and show a real change in both Jared and Garret.

Great Story
I really hate that there will only be one more book. This book and all the others in series are great stories. This is a great love story that will keep you on the edge wanting more. Just when you think things are going to calm down there is yet another surprise. These books are great read!

The ending in this book makes me want to read the next one. Little things become problems but not obstacles that Garrett and Jade can’t solve. Their love and passion grow stronger in this book. All secrets are open and the ending is near.... Where is the next book? Why does March 14th feel far away?
January 4, 2016
Always love Garett & Jade! The last 2 books have been 80% ho hum and maybe could have been made into 1 book (just my opinion). Now of course I can't wait for the last one that I am hoping is a non stop ride of secrets, danger and an organization taken down!!
