YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Kayla is a 16-year-old girl who was adopted when she was little. She lives a normal life, with great friends, loving adoptive parents, and well... a not-so-great boyfriend. But the reason why she was given up for adoption was far from any usual reason. She was meant to be kept away from the Academy and anything else related to the supernatural beings that could hurt her.

Unfortunately for Kayla, it was only a matter of time before she encountered the creatures from the Otherworld, and there is just no running away from the beings that she can now see.

In trying to protect Kayla by keeping her away from the Academy, she may have just been put in even more danger.

Abbie and I will be reading this on October 23rd. Everybody welcome ☺

I'll wait for you on this one hon, I'm halfway through another book so I can read that til you're free to start this one ☺

Thanks :)
Ashes and ice is 258 pages (at least, that's what GR says) so i should be finished with that one pretty soon. :)

Just finished Ashes and ice, so i'll be starting this one in a bit. :)
Just need to do some cleaning first!

Okay, I just finished endless knight (so glad it's over) and still have to make lunch and peg out some washing.

We've got to nip to the shop so won't be starting yet!

Will be starting in about an hour, Got delayed with the cleaning!

I was glad to be finished with Ashes and ice too, it was so boring!

4% - The main character is already really annoying me.

20% - This is another boring one, and Kayla gets more annoying with each chapter.

Sorry, I've not started yet. My car broke down and I've been stuck in Aldi car park with a bored 3-year-old for an hour and a half :(

That does not sound fun! :(

You're not missing much with this though, i'm at 50%, and it hasn't really picked up.
The main character is really really annoying as well.

Joy! I'm gonna try and speed read it I think!

I can't believe that he says to her (view spoiler)[ 'I have been kinda dating your friend Ashley too.'
Just cause she's breaing up with him doesn't make it okay for him to have cheated! (hide spoiler)]

I know! Then she's all fine about it.. Really? you wouldn't just say "but oh well"

I know! Th..."

I know, she was just like - you're welcome to each other!

13% (view spoiler)[ Carolyn is some kind of ghost? (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "13% [spoilers removed]"

Yeah. :)

70% - Well, the title may be "wide awake" but i'm certainly not.

I don't quite get the title at the moment! I'd like some answers though!

19% (view spoiler)[ what is it about her closet? everytime she goes to it there's a ghost in there! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "19% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Do you think she heard the saying: "Skeletons in the closet" and wanted to be different? Haha. (hide spoiler)]

Abbie wrote: "Sarah wrote: "19% [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ at least they're not under the sink ;) (hide spoiler)]

19% (view spoiler)[ how is she supposed to know who he is for pitys sake? and as if 'Benjamin' means anything to her! (hide spoiler)]

21% (view spoiler)[ now her mom thinks she's nuts! (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Ha ha! That's hilarious.
Authors have really weird places for meetings, lately.

40% (view spoiler)[ oh no! we need to save the baby from the evil polterguiest!
not really sure who to trust in this! (hide spoiler)]

Good news! It actually finishes at 93%. :)

Yay!

47% (view spoiler)[ this makes no sense at all. hunter died with chase, and went to the otherworld, but then somehow came back? and kayla is somehow supposed to be able to help Carolyn? what is she supposed to do with her then? she's obviously long dead! (hide spoiler)]

49% (view spoiler)[ so if he can see ghosts because of angel blood, then it stands to reason that that is the reason she can see ghosts too. (hide spoiler)]

56% (view spoiler)[ can't believe that her mother left her for hours in the house alone with a teenage boy! and i so saw ashley's pregnancy coming! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "56% [spoilers removed]"

I could see that coming as well!

Kelly will be in her third trimester in a couple of weeks? that happened fast!

62% (view spoiler)[ well that has to be the best part of the book so far - andrew walking in on her and hunter in her bedroom in the middle of the night! (hide spoiler)]

63% (view spoiler)[ she just had heartburn? that was an expensive hospital trip for heartburn! (hide spoiler)]

63% (view spoiler)[ every time they say dr moulder, i can't help but think of x-files. i know mulder wasn't a dr, but still, every time. (hide spoiler)]

68% (view spoiler)[ he wants to get back together with her when ashley might be having his baby? (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "68% [spoilers removed]"

Lovely bloke, isn't he?

80% (view spoiler)[ "Benjamin is Kayla's half brother. Before Mr Daniels and her mother met her mother was pregnant with the son of a demon."
what? i thought her mother's other child didn't live? this is becoming silly. (hide spoiler)]

86% (view spoiler)[ her freaking biological father is at this academy place? (hide spoiler)]

It really is ridiculous. I think i was being kind by giving it 2 stars!

7% to go and the torture ends! :)

93% (view spoiler)["Kayla, I know that you belong here because I - I think I'm in love with you."
I hate it when characters say that - as if it makes a freaking difference that they're in love with them? there are plenty of people out there in love with dead people, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be dead. (hide spoiler)]
