Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost

Kate Brian

After solving who killed Cheyenne and who was haunting her with her death, Reed is off to St. Barths with the Billing Girls for the Christmas Break to relax at last. But Reed is a "hurricane", bringing destruction where ever she goes. And even miles away for Easton, she gets into trouble. Trouble In Paradise?

I like this book, though the end is just like the previous book. Upton, the "single hottest male specimen to walk this earth", is a main character in this book, and is new. He is British, and all the girl covet him. Seriously, what do you think the 'Upton Games" are about. I think he's pretty cool for a playa. This is a good book, not the best I've read, not the best of the series, but definitely gets some props from me. I'd give it an A in the PaperMovieReportCard. 

Just to comment on the cover, I don't really like it. In the book they supposedly dress like super models all the time, but in this cover I just think that the are looking like dopes. Who wears all green? Also, why do all the models look older that 16 - 18 year olds? If your going to get models to promote the book, try to get models that match some of the characters in the book. The ones in the background aren't as bad, but the first one, eesh.... She looks mad and evil...... Like Medusa without the purple and snakes. 

Coming Soon...

So i went to Borders (am i allowed to talk about them on the internet?) and bought a book called Wake. I also received the book Identical from my friend for my birthday. THANKS ANDIE BEAST (inside joke, read Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson (forgot to write about that one, will later) to figure it out(but when you do, andie isn't like andy)(just a funny coincidence)). I went to the library and got Lucky T and Boy Meets Girl, which i wrote about. Also Code Orange, This Lullaby, a Dessen book, Hero, and Jinx, another Cabot book. so i have alot of reading to catch up on. I have been known to buy books faster than i can read them, but that is okay with me. Have any suggestions to what books i should read. Give me a book, i'll be sure to read it asap. And don't worry it will be a while before i run out of books. (i always have that nightmare, that i'll read all the good books and they won't get any more for a while. NIGHTMARE). Hey tell me about all your book induced nightmares.

Okay another filler. Okay first of all what kind of sane person would run all the way India from San Francisco to find a tee shirt? And even though the guy Dee (i know weird nickname for a guy) sound like a nice enough person, he seem a little to bipolar for my liking. I also think that the beginning is a little too short and vague to explain the degree of luckiness she has. Okay so somewhat lame story. Kate Brian, if your reading this... umm... stick with your private, last christmas, and privilege kind of stories because compared to those, your other books are kind of substandard. And so far i have read the Princess and the Pauper and same result of opinion. Sorry. Read if you have to or are really don't care and have a mission to read all the books in the world (oh that's me). 

Last Christmas

Last Christmas

I know I know, i have been review Kate Brian an awful lot and the Private series, but it just when i start it i can't stop. Oh well. This is the pre-sequel/sequel i don't know of the Private series. I recommend you at least read through book 4 (confessions) before you even touch this book. It is what happened the christmas before Reed came to school. Can you even imagine? well you don't have to, just read on and you'll be on your way. 

Private Series

Okay, so you know how i did a post on Privilege? Well this is the series it is based off. It is about a young student Reed Brennan, who has a broken family, but earns a scholarship to the prestigious Easton Academy in Easton, Connecticut. It is a boarding school, so all kinds of things happen. She is just happy to be out of the dumphole she used to call home. I would tell you more but that would ruin the story, and even though all my friend know me as one to ruin stories for them (guilty, i just have to tell someone about what i read!), i wouldn't do that to you. 

Here are the books in the series:

Private

Invitation Only

Untouchable

Confessions 

Inner Circle

Legacy

Ambition

Revelation (funny 'cause another book i wanted to buy the same month was called Revelations)

Paradise Lost ~ coming out in Febuary '09 ~

Since there are so many books out that it would take too much space on this post I will give you the link to Kate Brian's website so you can check out the book covers. Also if you have already read this series, and are waiting restlessly for the next book, because we all know that that last one was a bombshell, they have the first chapter on the site!!! Also i forbid you from clicking anything beside "the series" and "downloads", cause it will ruin the story.

This book is very interesting, but only if you know the whole story. If you haven't read the Private series, by Kate Brian, you would be lost in oblivion. This is based off that series, so if you want to read this book, you have to read at least the first 4 books of Private and Last Christmas, a Private sequel. So I suggest that you just go ahead and read the whole Private series, and Last Christmas, before you start that one. I have a question, i know you all are wanting to know what Private is about, well should i review that series, one book at a time, or as one post? Let me know, leave me a comment. 

So again this post is going to be vague so I don't ruin anything for you. Actually, I can't tell you about this one at all or it will ruin most of the Private series, and i know you want to go to your local bookstore and just read the back of Privilege just to see what it is all about, but don't. Walk away and pick up Private and pat yourself on your back knowing you did one good deed today. I know, I know, i am leaving you hanging, but it's for your own good. Just follow my instructions, and keep the earth spinning.
