Once upon a time, I came across an amazing series, Private, by Kate Brian. I had read them all, and couldn't wait for the next to come out. The last one ended with an ENORMOUS cliffhanger, and I needed to know what happened next. So, today I was at Borders with my cousin, she was buying Eclipse, and I came across the next two books!!! So, I read quite a bit today, and let me fill you in...
In the last book, it stopped where Reed Brennan was thrown off a boat! This book, called Suspicion, started with her in the water. The boat was getting further and further, and Reed just didn't think she could hold on to her life much longer. She had been treading water for a long time, and was sure someone was trying to kill her, once again. She has had a past of murders, one being of her boyfriend, Thomas. He was killed by one of Reed's friends, and her friend's sister had then tried to kill her, and even killed one good friend, Cheyenne. Anyways, Reed was treading water, and was just going under when someone in a boat found her. When she awoke, she was in a hospital, with Sawyer, Noelle, and Upton beside her. She was vacationing with Noelle and her friends at the Ryan's estate in St. Barths. She told the police that she was pushed off the boat, but they didn't believe her at all. Noelle's father came in, and told them to right down every single thing Reed said, and they did. Mr Lange, Noelle's dad, did everything he could to help Reed. The people were found her were Sawyer, Noelle, and Noelle's dad. Reed thanked Sawyer a lot. When they went back to the beach, Noelle promised to keep an eye on and out for Reed. When they went to dinner, Reed accused these girls, Paige, Poppy, and Sienna (all exes of Upton, her new boyfriend, who's British ;]) of trying to kill her. They didn't like that, and the Ryan's came over, saying they knew who did it. They claimed that it was one of their employees, who simply wanted the necklace. So, he had ripped it off and pushed her in the water?!! Nice, huh? Reed tried to believe that, but she just couldn't.....
Visualization: It was easy to picture Reed in the water, being saved, and in the hospital. I could see the police, and the frustration in Reed's face, trying to get them to listen. I could also see how thankful she was that Sawyer had saved her. Another thing I visualized was when Reed was at dinner, yelling at the girls, and her shocked face when the adults said it wasn't them. These books are sooooo goooooooooooood! 2 thumbs up for sure!!

Teagan,
ReplyDeleteSo "Private" is the name of the series?? You'll have to share these books with everyone (the names...not your actual books! haha). It seems like a lot of TAMS kids love getting into books that are a series. I think we must get attached to characters or something :)
I like how you do a nice job visualizing people's faces...I do the same thing. Writing about facial expressions really gives your reader a nice picture of the emotion that is going on in the book.
