Couldn’t get into it to care about the characters...

Couldn’t get into it to care about the characters...

Eh, not my bag. Gave up...

Started it, really like how easily this authors writing flows. Haven’t gotten emotionally invested in the story yet—we shall see.

A bit too slow moving for je right now, may try again later.
Started on audio book.

Started...not getting into it too well—will try again later.

Still wanting the main characters to fall in love with each-other...

Started, but could not get into this book. I might try it again. Not sure yet.

Too slow of a start, ok characters, and immediate lesbian break up in high school...

Kind of casual and lackadaisical about sex...

Yes, because when a friend makes a mistake (Devon) and confesses to her good friends (Emma and Cassidy) they will just throw it in her face and make her feel more guilty. Even when making the right choice and coming clean puts her at the most risk, more guilt is what friends can be counted on for...oi. Why am I reading this...?

While Devon is an explosive and sometimes judgmental character--what the other girls are doing is underhanded and backstabbing. I think they are not taking their "rules" seriously...having a hard time with this book...

Shifted to audio books, so now I am taking it book by book...

Yep, still poor writing and weird cliche statements. Also, still no real investment in the story. Attempt complete!!!!

Well, I may give this one more try, but so far I am not emotionally invested enough in the characters to read the whole book. I also do not like that there was an F word almost immediately...

Not sure that this is my true spot. Interesting set up and storyline, but I just got bored. Not sure why, though Violet's character development is a bit weak. I think I just didn't care enough about the characters and what happens to them? Maybe I will pick it up again someday...

Not sure if that's actually how far I got. Intriguing idea, but very hard and gritty. Couldn't get into it, but may try to pick it up again.

I have enjoyed this compilation so far, but I think o should have taken this series one book at s time. I am getting to the halfway mark (part two of book 3) and find it hard to stay emotionally involved with a plot that is a bit repetitive...

Soooo no one else cares that this young adult novel has teenage girls that go to a moonlight festival thinking they need to have a male conquest and teenage boys going expecting to get laid so they can be "men"? Well, for me this is something I am really struggling with. Should I really finish/support a book that speaks so lightly of teenage sex with no intention of marriage or even a relationship?

Let's see however I remember from the series...which I read at least 5 years ago I think...

Why does Gaia keep having "sudden clarity" moments that make her change the whole plan?

I guess I'm getting too picky, but who falls for this? I thought "why would you drink something given to you by your 'enemy'?" Then I thought, "Why would you take your eyes off your scouts?" Finally, I am sitting here thinking, "I don't think he has Leon and you're allowing him to desperate you from the crowd!?!?" I know I'm significantly older than her but COME ON!

I like the message that Peter is trying to teach Gaia---ask, don't order. Good leaders don't have to be dictators to be followed... Gosh Gaia has changed...

So, now that I know his sister was in on it, Leon's threat isn't AS creepy. But jeez when did he get so bossy!

He pinched her ear? And this caused her to cry out? Not as tough as she used to be, huh?

Realizing how much I don't remember...

Hmm haven't read the last two in a while, if anyone wants to give me the high points of the last two? Tried to find spoiler reviews, but...
