Get ready to go back in time--LAST CHRISTMAS takes place winter break of Ariana's junior year--a whole nine months BEFORE Reed arrived at Easton.

Posted by Rachel on September 25, 2008 at 07:08 PM EDT #

oh my gosh! i new it all along! i had my suspicions she wasn't just a good little girl. but really, u HAVE to do sumthing about the cliff hanger at the end. really? you could put it in perhaps noelles perspective at what happenes after that, did reed just faint, did she die? it is one thing to have a cliff hanger in the middle of a series, but on the last book? i need more!!! (P.s.:they are my favorite series ever!!!)

Posted by Michelle on September 25, 2008 at 07:48 PM EDT #

Nice updates to the website Kate! It's amazing! I was definately confused when reading REVELATION. I mean, first Marc looked suspicious then Amberly. And why Astrid was kicked out. It was a total surprise to find out it was Sabine. I was glad to read that you had some parts with Reed talking to Gage and Trey. It was a total shocker that Sabine is Ariana's sister! And when Sabine took out the gun and pointed it towards Trey's heart! AH! OMG! Only 11 more days!? Dang, can NOT wait! "A whole lot more to the story..." OMG! What does that mean?

Posted by Jacqueline on September 25, 2008 at 07:55 PM EDT #

Revelation was great! Although, I did guess that it was Sabine the whole time; It was still very good. But I was very suprised when it was said that she was Ariana's sister. I didn't guess that! I also can't wait for Paradise Lost. I'm counting the days till February! This is one of my favorite series!

Posted by Imogene on September 25, 2008 at 07:55 PM EDT #

OMG AMAZING START TO LAST CHRISTMAS I READ THE SNEEK PEEK AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! I NEED TO READ IT...ONLY 11 MORE DAYS!!!!

Posted by Becki on September 25, 2008 at 08:09 PM EDT #

REVELATION was GREATTT! i loved it. i read it in like an hour! you are a greta writer! I cant wait to see what happened between ariana and thomas..... and to know the real thomas.. i love your books, keep writing!

Posted by Morgan Williams on September 25, 2008 at 08:16 PM EDT #

MORGAN: I totally agree with you. I can't wait to read about Ariana and Thomas too! I mean, I really liked Thomas though we didn't really get to know him. Thomas is such...a bad boy. LOL. But I took it really hard when I found out he was MURDERED! OMG! It's definately going to be interesting reading LAST CHRISTMAS. Thomas is definately into those quiet girls. (Reed and Ariana)

Posted by Jacqueline on September 25, 2008 at 08:22 PM EDT #

OMG i love the PRIVATE series!! but i've been so busy lately and haven't gotten around to reading revelation yet! =( & lol i just read all of these comments. i'm definately going to buy revelation this weekend!! so excited!

Posted by Joyce on September 25, 2008 at 08:42 PM EDT #

Omg revelation was soooo good. i had no clue it was sabine; i mean she acted like a really good friend!!!!!!!! I think Paradise Lost should come out before Last Christams, i totally agree with u guys and i cant wait till February!!!!!!!!!!!1

Posted by Jagoda on September 25, 2008 at 08:45 PM EDT #

omg... im dying here!!!!!! (i know everyone else is too) :] i love these books! i was soooo surprised but i accidentaly read a spoiler. :[ so i knew it was sabine the whole time. but it was still like the best thing ever!!!!!! cant wait til february!!!! i luv u kate! xoxo :D

Posted by Mary Scraggle on September 25, 2008 at 09:04 PM EDT #

OMG 14TH COMMENT I LOVE REVELATION. NOW I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE 9TH ONE COMES OUT. KEEP ON WRITING GOOD BOOKS KATE.

Posted by Siobhan on September 25, 2008 at 09:09 PM EDT #

OMG! I loved this book! However, i was so sad when I found out that Sabine was the murderer. I thought that it was Amberly the entire time! I found out right when Reed did. I was so excited that Reed and Ivy finally became friends though. I have been waiting for that to happen! :) But I am confused still because I think Reed died but then I just have no idea. Was it her or Josh? I was so pumped that he attempted to save her though! :) What is Paridise Lost? Is that the next book? I thought that this was the last one. Someone please tell me I was wrong. I hope there is another! Private is my favorite series! Can't wait until Last Christmas! :) Keep it up Kate!

Posted by Jordan Irene Graham on September 25, 2008 at 09:09 PM EDT #

cant wait for last christmas it looks really good just cant wait!!!!

Posted by jennie on September 25, 2008 at 09:41 PM EDT #

Omg guys! You have to read the Last Christmas first chapter on the site! It has another prologue chapter that wasn't in the back of Revelation about the night Ariana murdered Thomas! Its insane dude! I was crying. Poor Thomas...=[

Posted by marisa on September 25, 2008 at 10:03 PM EDT #

omg I seriously cant waut until Paradise Lost!! I'd switch the dates for Paradise lost and Last Christmas ANY day :p omg omg I NEED to kno what happens to Reed I'm like addicted to these books!

Posted by Maria on September 25, 2008 at 10:07 PM EDT #

Woah. This was so far my favorite out of the series. I had NOOO idea it was Sabine. I was way beyond surprised, after finishing the book I seriously sat there for at least 5 minutes in shock from everything, thinking back to the clues that it was Sabine in all the other books, and did Josh get shot or did Reed ? Ahhhh such a cliff hanger ! These books are way beyond awesome and I'm so glad I discovered them ! I can't wait for last Christmas, keep up the good work Kate !

Posted by Sarah ! on September 25, 2008 at 10:11 PM EDT #

OMG! I can't beleive what happened in Revelation. I cannot believe who the real killer was, SUCH A SHOCKER! I still can't wait for Last Christmas to come out, my mind is racing... what happened????

Posted by REBECCA on September 25, 2008 at 11:02 PM EDT #

OMG OMG OMG DID SHE DIE!?!?!? sorry for people who are reading the comments and havent read the book but i HAVE TO ASK. im Freaking oUT here! Amazing series my teacher saw me reading it and even she said that it was an amazing novel and written well.! BUT I WANT THE NEXT BOOK! It would be so horrible if she died after finding out that NOTHING was her fault!!!!!! Omg! That would be such a bittersweet moment!

Posted by Kristina !!!! on September 25, 2008 at 11:16 PM EDT #

I know i dont want anyone else to die it would be to much death but ughhh reed and josh have to get back together and reed has to get back into billings!

Posted by Sheila on September 25, 2008 at 11:50 PM EDT #

I can not wait until Last Christmas comes out!! I'm super excited! and I'm counting down the days until Paradise Lost comes out!! (I'm not sure if I can wait that long). Reed and Josh both have to be ok!! they belong together!

Posted by Kelsie on September 26, 2008 at 10:30 AM EDT #

OMG! i loved revelation sooo much! im really curious about what happened before Reed came but i wish that Lost Paradise would come out faster. i just wanna know who died and if josh and reed get bak together! i don't think reed should forgive noelle and the rest of the billings girls so easily. they were so rude and mean to her!

Posted by Cordelia on September 26, 2008 at 02:06 PM EDT #

NOOO, of course Reed didn't die. Well I'd rather her than Josh believe it or not. But Yeahhhh. I was utterly peed in the last blog cause of what happened to Josh. I was LITERALLY pulling out my hair. Well when I was holding my hair a few strands came out, but that still counts. Right? Oh yeah and we don't really know if josh got shot.

Posted by Niya on September 26, 2008 at 04:50 PM EDT #

Oh yeah and I was thinking.. You know that email that Reed got from dash in ambition but she never read it?? Wells, what if the email said that he knew that ecstasy was in his drink cause he does a sport in college, and if he does play a sport doesnt that mean that hed have to have regular urine tests? Yeah what if he failed the test and yeahh thats when he found out, but couldnt tell reed cause of noelle?? Just sayin'.

Posted by Niya on September 26, 2008 at 04:55 PM EDT #

omg! in the preveiw of last christmas it was so sad when arriana killed thomas!! and he was like, i love her!! ok now i like thomas ALOT more[josh is still my fav tho] and how come her old bf wasnt in an of the books? that daniel guy. hmmm .

Posted by Mary on September 26, 2008 at 05:01 PM EDT #

HELP ME!!!! Im trying to read the sneak peek but it keeps directing me to adobe. Is there any chance that any of you are computer genuises. or however you spell it.

Posted by Niya on September 26, 2008 at 05:06 PM EDT #

OMG! Revelation was the best book out of all of the Private books! I screamed at the end! LOL, I want to read more!!!!! Can't wait for, Last Christmas, Paradise Lost And I heard that the book after Paradise Lost is called Suspicion! Sounds so good!! <33 Lauren

Posted by Lauren on September 26, 2008 at 05:33 PM EDT #

OMG! Revelation was so good! I think that neither Reed or Josh got shot (If Josh got shot, I would literally commit suicide) But, I think that maybe Noelle did, because you know how she was behind Reed? And Josh pushed Reed out of the way, and Sabine didn't see it?! She just closed her eyes and shot! So I don't think they got shot, because 2 dead boyfriends, that's to much. Team Josh!

Posted by Lo on September 26, 2008 at 05:39 PM EDT #

I loved this book so much. Except the cliff hanger at the end is killing me! I can't wait until Last Christmas. I absolutely loved Thomas, even though he wasn't there long. It's gonna be amazing to have him back again (:

Posted by Mel on September 26, 2008 at 05:45 PM EDT #

Niya, you could be on to something with dash saying there was drug in his drink. Omg, i really cnt wait until paradise lost...i hope that reed + josh r ok! that would suck if one of them died. I really think that Josh pushed reed out of the way, and the shot was hit to noelle or whoever was standing behind Reed.

Posted by Ambika on September 26, 2008 at 05:51 PM EDT #

omgg!!! i cant wait for Last Christmas!!!! i am like totally ready to find out what happens lol i cant wait kate you r amazing i just hope that you dont make josh die dont put reed through another dead bf!!!!! you are fantastic keep writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gilmoregril3232

Posted by lauren dale on September 26, 2008 at 06:29 PM EDT #

Kate. I seriously love you! I don't mean to sound creepy, btw. REVELATION WAS BEYOND AH-MAZING AND SHOCKING! I never, EVER would have suspected Sabine to have killed Cheyenne and be Ariana's sister!!! Best book in the series yet. I am also glad that Josh and Reed are at least talking again... But what happened to Reed!!?? Sabine and the gun... and Josh jumping in front of Reed... and everything going black??!!! AHHHHH! I cannot wait until Paradise Lost, not to mention the awesome prequel and spin-off!!! U r truly ah-mazing Kate. Keep writing!!! xoxo Blair

Posted by Blair on September 26, 2008 at 06:36 PM EDT #

Oh my god!!!! Revelation was amazing i couldnt believe the ending!!! But i need to know if Last christmas is going to say what had happened! If it doesnt im going to die!

Posted by cocco cline on September 26, 2008 at 07:10 PM EDT #

Posted by Jaime on September 26, 2008 at 08:16 PM EDT #

Like everyone else, I must say Revelation was amazing! And lucky for me, I gots the prequel early! I've just started it and can't wait to find out the scandal why Ariana turned psyco! Hugs!

Posted by allison on September 27, 2008 at 09:54 AM EDT #

I was wondering are you going to change to models every four books of the Private Series or are you ging to keep these models for longer?

Posted by Addie on September 27, 2008 at 10:07 AM EDT #

hey kate, i love your books. i friended you on myspace, too (: i was just popping in on your site and decided to leave a comment. first off: thank you for making this series! it's amazing and you make every deadline with - so far - no complaints. go you! and now, i just have to say one negative thing: i saw the cover of paradise lost and the girl on the cover scares me every time i see her. she's gorg, but i feel creeped outt. i loved the girls on the first four covers, though. keep writing, tori !?

Posted by tori loves private ?! on September 27, 2008 at 11:22 AM EDT #

Omg i can't believe Sabine killed Cheyenne and shes Arianas sister. I so wish Paradise LOst came before Last Christmas, even though I want to read them both. I hope in Paradise Lost Reed and Josh are okay and alive. Kate would you post the first chapter of Paradise Lost because Febuary is a long time to wait to see what happens to Reed and Josh. By the way I love all your books, not only the private series!

Posted by Daniella on September 27, 2008 at 11:32 AM EDT #

OMG! REVELATION WAS THE BEST! I CAN'T WAIT TILL FEBRUARY FOR LOST PARADISE! BUT OMG WHAT IS LOST PARADISE SUPPOSED TO MEAN?? DOES IT MEAN JOSH OR NOELLE GET KILLED?! KATE YOU GOTTA PUT UP THE FIRST CHAPTER TO PARADISE LOST. IM DYING TO KNOWW! P.S. I REALLY HOPE IT WASN'T JOSH WHO GOT SHOT HE IS THE BESST!

Posted by Megan on September 27, 2008 at 11:57 AM EDT #

Omg ! did you guys read last Last Christmas the seek peek i cant believe that Ariana killed Thomas so scary.i cant wait for Last Christmas and Paradise Lost

Posted by prviate lover on September 27, 2008 at 12:28 PM EDT #

I just finished reading your book. i got so mad at the end tho when it just stopped.haha. I cant wait for the next one this has been my ultimite faveee out of all of them. thanks you kate.

Posted by Natalia on September 27, 2008 at 01:51 PM EDT #

i always thought sabine was dark skinned too. the covers get me confused. i know who some of the peoople are bt others im a lil confused.

Posted by kaylee on September 27, 2008 at 01:54 PM EDT #

the covers always have me confused too, but i think it isn't supposed to be anyone in particular

Posted by Megan on September 27, 2008 at 02:50 PM EDT #

OMG Revelation had the most crazy ending! Sabine! who would have thought. i still cant believe that she was the one who did it. how cruel. ugh, that ending! totally left me hanging! did she die? did she live? what happen?!

Posted by admire on September 27, 2008 at 03:24 PM EDT #

OMG i absolutly loved 'Revelation, i was hooked to it. How do you come up with these phenomenal ideas. the end was shocking, what happened to reed? the cliff hanger at the end left me thinking, and i'm itcing to read "paradise lost" excited that last christmas is coming out but i wish it was pardise lost was coming out. again revelation was awsome but I want reed back in Billings, thats my number one wish. also i hope this series never ends

Posted by ella on September 27, 2008 at 03:48 PM EDT #

Kate Brian, you are my hero. OMG That book was amazing!!! So unexpected. I really like Sabine's character. So are you considering making a TV series for your books? Now I wish i had waited a little bit more to read Revelation (well, I waited 11 days, but still...) because now I'm itching to read Last Christmas. I LOVE YOU KATE BRIAN, && I hope I'll get to meet you someday, because you are my inspiration.

Posted by Kanel on September 27, 2008 at 04:32 PM EDT #

Posted by gilmoregirl3232 on September 27, 2008 at 04:44 PM EDT #

Posted by kaylee on September 28, 2008 at 12:03 PM EDT #

I can't believe that Sabine really killed Cheyanne no one would have susspested her. I didn't even know her last mame was Osgodd! I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Posted by Carson on September 28, 2008 at 12:15 PM EDT #

Posted by Elissa on September 28, 2008 at 01:33 PM EDT #

i just read the chapters of lst xmas and i cant wait for it to come out!!

Posted by kaylee on September 28, 2008 at 02:12 PM EDT #

Yeah I just read the chapter of last CHRISTmas, jkjkjk, and it was way better than i thought. WELL THE BEGINNING WHEN ARIANNA KILLED THOMAS. Cause I read the rest in the back of Revelation. Ariannas a b..... at first I really loved Thomas when he died I cried and when Reed was with Josh I was like who cares about friggin Josh find Thomas! But then I grew to love Josh and now hes my fave 4 sure.... God bless his little soul *sniff* *sniff*

Posted by Niya on September 28, 2008 at 02:20 PM EDT #

Oh yeah and KATE, I know this might be too much to handle but ARE WE GONNA HAVE A TV SERIES or a Movie? Id rather a tv series. Like seriously, we have to have one. It'd be fun watching Josh and Reed and Thomas and Arianna on tv. Then I'll show my friends who dont like reading and then theyll love it and start stacking up on Private books.

Posted by Niya on September 28, 2008 at 02:23 PM EDT #

Mmmm my hair smells sooo good...

Posted by Niya on September 28, 2008 at 02:24 PM EDT #

wow NIYA-that was kinda weird......no jk [i smell my hair all the time] lol....but if they do a TV show or a movie, id rather it be a tv show. unless theere will be sequals to the movie. but id rather they dont do either.

Posted by Mary on September 28, 2008 at 04:05 PM EDT #

i found out when reedd did for sure. i love your books they are amazing. i cant wait till the paradise lost book comes out im scared to see what happens with josh. did he die :( i hope not! i love him and reed together. its sad when they arent since she loves him. can you tell us if he dies?

Posted by Brandy on September 28, 2008 at 04:17 PM EDT #

I really hope Josh is and Reed are ok and i really hope nothing bad happens to them cause that part had me going because i was really worried , but other than that i loved the book , it was great

Posted by Utshana on September 28, 2008 at 04:22 PM EDT #

Posted by Emily on September 28, 2008 at 04:23 PM EDT #

Posted by biz on September 28, 2008 at 05:48 PM EDT #

Omg i read the first part of Last Christmas on the site..omg Ariana is insane!!! Oh what did they mean about thoes things they did? I cnt wait until Last Christmas comes out!!! Need more Thomas! I Love him and Josh!!

Posted by Ambika on September 28, 2008 at 06:00 PM EDT #

I absolutely loved Revelation! But I'm dying to know, will you write a book that continues what happened at the end? I saw that Last Christmas is about what happened before Reed got to Easton, but will there be a book that tells what happened at the end of Revelation?

Posted by Hannah on September 28, 2008 at 07:28 PM EDT #

Dear Kate Brian, I bought Revelation on the Sixteenth, but only started it yesterday because I had to reread the series; the intervals between each due date are so long I forgot everything that had happened. I really liked this book, but I knew the ending because I made the mistake of letting my friend read it before me and she blurted out the ending when she handed it back to me. (Word-for-word, by the way.) I didn't talk to her for the rest of the day. You're one of my favorite authors, along with Stephenie Meyers and Jodi Picoult, but your cliff-hangers are starting to aggravate me. It's like my own personal hell when I finish one of your books and have to wait another three months for the next one. Just keep writing and try to digress from the cliff-hangers. -Josie

OMG!!!!!!!!!! i was sooo hooked to revelation that i read it in and hour and a half.....please tell me that reed is ok and that ur going to write more of those b/c u left a bunch of things unsaid like: Is Josh ok? What happened with Sabine? Did anybody get shot and/or killed? this is really eating at me and i need to know!!!!!!!!! :)

Posted by Paige Kapus on September 28, 2008 at 09:04 PM EDT #

Woahh. I read "Revelation" this Friday night (staying up till 1 in the morning on Saturday just to finish), and it was amazing! I just recently got hooked onto the "Private" books, and I finished all of them all in like a week. I was soo suprised about the ending in "Revelation" though. I mean, wow. It was kind of a big suprise to me. I don't think Reed will die though, because I mean, there's another book coming out, so Reed shouldn't die, since all the books are in her point of view anyway. And Josh shouldn't die either, because then Reed wouldn't have anyone to love anymore. Plus I really, really, really like/love Josh! He's a reaally great guy, and he shouldn't die. I really want to know what happens in "Paradise Lost" now! Wow, I'm really in love with the "Private" books now. Thank you Kate Brian for writing such wonderful books! I can't wait until "Last Christmas" comes out, and then "Priviledge" and "Paradise Lost" and all the other "Private" books! Yay!

Posted by Addie on September 28, 2008 at 09:56 PM EDT #

i just ordered last christmas and seriously can not wait for it to get here! i will be running to the mail box everyday! hahaha kate, i would just like to tell you how amazing i think your books are. they make me feel like i am best friends with these girls just like reed and that shes my best friend. your an incredible writer! i love ya & the private books!

Posted by Brandy on September 28, 2008 at 10:45 PM EDT #

Revalation was one of the most amazing books ever. I hate to have that cliff hanger in the end though! It just ruined me i need more I'm basically addicted. Also i want to know what the next book is about, from other blogs i learned its called Paradise Lost and it comes out in Febuary! That's a very long time I think I might die. But I can't wait for this new prequel it sounds excitinggggg! Kate your the best! Keep writing!

Posted by Avalon on September 29, 2008 at 02:12 AM EDT #

oh yeahh and if you guys are crazy about these books like me and have little things remind you of parts in the book... listen to this song its called WALK YOU HOME by KARMINA it reminds me of reed and josh and how everyone was affected by thomas and cheyanne's death. its like how noelle is for reed before the dash thing and how i see josh feeling for reed becasue he really shows how much he cares in this book! tell me what all you guys think =]]

Posted by Megan on September 29, 2008 at 05:02 AM EDT #

Posted by Mary on September 29, 2008 at 03:25 PM EDT #

WOW... i cant believe it! that was so unexpected that it was sabine all along. i wouldnt of guessed it if i hadnt of read it myself. i thought she was so inocent but i guess not but i havent read last christmas yet but i definately will. your books are so good i drive a half hour just to get them and im done reading before i get home, so that says something because i hate to read but your books are great so good job...bye :)

Posted by bianca on September 29, 2008 at 05:02 PM EDT #

omg, i just finished reading revelation. it was amazing. i'm happy about last christmas and all but dang!!!! i need to read what happens to reed and josh. i mean, IS REED DEAD? Is she gonna get back into billings?!?!? Are her and ivy friends now? are her and noelle friends now? what the heck was josh going to say to her when they were going to be "alone"? and is sabine in the freak place were ariana was/is? ahhhhh i need to know, i'm going to die if i don't find out you have got to help me out here and boost up the date for paradise lost! (i'm guessing thats the next book with reed back in it...i'm not sure but thats what it said in some of the comments although i have not seen it for myself.) you really need to put that out there so people know its coming out...and you should put up a chapter(((: i love your books and i have read all of them 3 times over.

Posted by brittney on September 29, 2008 at 05:40 PM EDT #

No no no no no no no no!!!!!!! I GOTTA find out what happens!!!!!!!! Did Reed get shot?!?!?! OMG!!!!!!!!! That was AMAZING!!! T totally didn't see it coming. I was reading and thinking "The killer is probably going to be somebody completely unexpected, like Josh, or Rose or Portia or Noelle." I even think I thought Sabine, but I didn't really think it would be true!!!! AWWWW! I LIKED Sabine! I wish I'd had a friend like her. Well, not really, but, how she was BEFORE. When she was.......pretending......hm. Still. Does Paradise Lost really not come out until February? I thought it was January! You CAN NOT make me wait that long!!! I just finished it and I'm so depressed! I always get this way after finishing books I'm obsessed with, and the thought of having to wait Until FEBRUARY is not going over well with me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post the first chapter!!!!!

Posted by Jessie on September 29, 2008 at 06:29 PM EDT #

revalation was great. can u please but a chapter on paradise lost but i guess u cant bc that will give away who died or not. i think reed just fainted bc u know how she is. but i REALLY hope her and josh get back together. and Last Christmas is sooo good soooo far haha. but i hope the series keeps on going on and on and on. like my whole SCHOOL loves it no joke. LOVE YA KATE!!!!

Posted by rebecca on September 29, 2008 at 06:35 PM EDT #

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG i cannot believe how that book just ended. I actually thought for a second that it might be Sabine but then I let it go. I never possibly imaged that it could be related with Ariana!!!! OMG its going to be so hard to wait for Feb.!!!!! I don't think i can do it!!!! ahhh please release it sooner if you can!!! omg when i read the last part i thought i still had more to go because of the sneak peak to Last Christmas but i turned the page and was like NNOOOOO!!! omg that book was so good, great job on writing it!!!!! :)

Posted by Sarah on September 29, 2008 at 06:45 PM EDT #

ive been addicted to these books pretty much. im telling everyone about them! haha and especially with the ending to revelation i can not stop talking about them!!! ahh could you please tell us what happens or in this next book give us a sneek peak to it!? that would be incredibly awesome!!!! ahh i already ordered last christmas =] it should be here thursday! im a huge fan! keep up the awesome plots and characters! your amazing!

Posted by Brandy on September 29, 2008 at 07:08 PM EDT #

who does everyone think that Arianna killed other than thomas? in the sneek peak thomas said "what are you going to do? kill me just like you killed..." ahhh i think it has somthing to do with ivys grandmother or Ariannas bf or somthing else.. what do you think?

Posted by Brandy on September 29, 2008 at 07:10 PM EDT #

OMG I CANNOT VISIT THIS COMMENT PAGE NE MORE BC ITS WAAAYY TOOO INTENSE I CANT VISIT THIS COMMENT PAGE BC I JUST CANT TAKE IT.. I SWEAR, IF PARADISE LOST ISNT ABOUT REED AND HOW SHE MAKES IT THROUGH THAT BULLET, I AM GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE, JK LOL BUT I WOULD BE VERY VERY VERY VERY VERRRYYYYY UPSET! LOL ILY KATE BRIAN I HOPE I WONT BE DISSAPOINTED ABOUT PARAIDISE LOST :)

Posted by Sam on September 29, 2008 at 07:11 PM EDT #

. last christmas sounds reallyy good but im dyning to kno what happenss to reed and joshh and noellee and sabinee andd EVERRRYYB0DDY!! lol

Posted by Lia on September 29, 2008 at 07:28 PM EDT #

hmm.. in response to Brandy's comment.. i think that the sergi guy who kept taking pictures of them took a picture of Thomas and Arianna hooking up or somthing scandelous and so she killed him? haha that might not be extream enough for murder but i hope this next book talks about ariannas mother and why thomas said shes insane and stuff. idk i cant wait to read last christmas, privledge, and most especially PARADISE LOST!!!!!

Posted by Ana on September 29, 2008 at 07:31 PM EDT #

omj omj omj cant believe that book it was so good def my fav so far except the ending i wish it would have told what happened to josh or reed cuz im worried bout cutie josh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :[

Posted by jennie on September 29, 2008 at 08:15 PM EDT #

WHAT THE HECK? WHY DID REED DIE?

Posted by meg on September 29, 2008 at 10:03 PM EDT #

Dude this book was awsome. But I will die myself if Reed or Josh dies. I cant wait for Paradise Lost. Love you Kate!

Posted by tori fitz on September 29, 2008 at 10:35 PM EDT #

reed did NOT die.

Posted by Kayla on September 29, 2008 at 11:07 PM EDT #

i think sabine was shot by the cops? or reed/josh was shot in the shoulder. but i dont think that anyone died. esp. not josh. reed can not have 2 dead boyfriends nor can she have 3 people dead becasue of her. no way just no way did she or josh die. i think sabine dies and arianna escapes when she goes to sabines funeral.

Posted by Katie on September 29, 2008 at 11:10 PM EDT #

also i dont think that we have met the character that Arianna killed other than thomas of course. shes so insane.

Posted by Katie on September 29, 2008 at 11:12 PM EDT #

okayy so i've been at work for 8 loooong hours thinking about this last book and who else ariana could have killed... i think i might be on to something... what if she killed that daniel guy, you know her boyfriend in the sneak peak of last christmas becasue he sounded like the insane type to go and like get crazy if ariana tried to leave him so she killed him to be with thomas. it makes sense for thomas to compare him and daniel seeing as they were both ariana's love interests. ahhh i don't know. and i think that ariana actually gets out of prison. becasue i mean the next book is called privilege... does that mean she gets another chance? and i'm seriously upset that everyone is getting last christmas already i can't find it anywhere!!!! help anyone? por favor? =]

Posted by Megan on September 30, 2008 at 02:13 AM EDT #

*CORRECTION* in my last post when i said "the next book is called privilege..." well i meant the new series about ariana. Just to clear that up so no one is like WHAAA i thought the next one was lost paradise or whateverrr lol

Posted by Megan on September 30, 2008 at 03:40 AM EDT #

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DONT HAVE JOSH DIE. I WOULD RATHER HAVE REED DIE THAN JOSH UNBELIEVABLY. BUT IF SOMEONE DIED, THAT WOULD BE WAY TO MUCH DEATH AND THE STORY WOULD BECOME JUST PLAIN OLD DEPRESSING. EVEN THOUGH THE STORY SAID JOSH RUSHED TOWARDS REED, DOESNT MEAN HE GOT IN FRONT OF THE BULLET!! HOPEFULLY HE PUSHED REED OUT OF THE WAY WITH HIM AND NO ONE GOT SHOT. I HOPE NOBODY DIED. REED AND JOSH ARE JUST MEANT TO BE TOGETHER.

Posted by Sara B on September 30, 2008 at 11:43 AM EDT #

yah megan-good point, she could have killed daniel. b/c he wasnt in any of the other books. i was wondering about that, but if hes dead, he cant be in the books. makes sence

Posted by Mary on September 30, 2008 at 05:28 PM EDT #

OMG OMG OMG.i just keep reading the end over and over again it is so intense!!!! oooo please put a ch. of paradise lost online. also please dont let josh die!!!! he is sooo good and i think if he lives they will get back together. but um..... have you guys noticed the next book is called paradise lost meaning reed's paradise is lost, what is josh is her "paradise" and he is lost (killed)!!!!! i have a bad feeling he is going to die!!!! omg but i hope i am wrong i think ill cry if he dies!!! great job on the book i think it is one of my faves so far! : )

Posted by Sarah J on September 30, 2008 at 06:32 PM EDT #

OMG!!!! I can't believe it was Sabine!!!! TOTALLY UNEXPECTED!!! Can't believe we have to wait til' Febuary to know what happened!! I finished it about an hour ago and it's already killing me!!! How can we all wait 5 months!!! I am sooooooo excited! I can't stop thinking about it!!! I LOVE this series!! I've read all the ones so far in 2 weeks! I can't stop! They're AMAZING!! Thanks so much! Keep writing! P.S I hope Reed,Josh, Noelle, and everyone is gonna be okay!

Posted by Tori on September 30, 2008 at 06:53 PM EDT #

ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! omg omg omg! are you seriously ending the private books!?!?!?!? someone said on that you said on your official website that after paradise lost a book called suspicions come out and that will be the last book of the series!!!!! DO NOT END THE SERIES PLEASEEEEEE DO NOT END THIS SERIES!!! PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT END THE SERIES THEY ARE AMAZING. i just read last christmas. i feel bad for arianna but i kind of hate her even more at the same time. shes seriously insane and im glad shes in a mental place

Posted by Katie on September 30, 2008 at 07:35 PM EDT #

Omg! Revelation was ah-mazing!!! I cannot believe that Sabaine is Arianna's sister! What a twist in the story! I wish that Paradise Lost would come out sooner! I just hope that Josh and Reed will be ok. Please don't stop writing the Private series they are just sooo good to read!!!

Posted by Amanda on September 30, 2008 at 07:49 PM EDT #

This book was aaamazing but im so upset cuz i really dont get what the ending means...does someone die or jus get hurt or does nothing happen?!?! whats going on??

Posted by Sydney on September 30, 2008 at 07:57 PM EDT #

Well I have my thoughts on the ending of Revelation, and i definetly don't think Reed or Josh is dead, and after that, i think Noelle will forgive Reed, but i think things might still be too weird between Reed and Josh for them to get back together.

Posted by Rebecca on September 30, 2008 at 08:01 PM EDT #

oops! my comment got posted twice by accident!

Posted by Rebecca on September 30, 2008 at 08:03 PM EDT #

This book was amazing! But pleas don't tell me that Reed really died? I think you should write another book that continues the series.

Posted by Jordan on September 30, 2008 at 08:27 PM EDT #

ok I think i'm having a mental breakdown I CAN'T READ THE SNEAK PEAK OF LAST CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who can help, or better yet mail it to me. gosh I'm going crazy

Posted by ella on September 30, 2008 at 09:28 PM EDT #

I read the sneak peek of Last Christmas, and it's great! At the end of Revelation the first chapter just didn't grab my attention. But I read the prologue...and it was awesome! It had me at the edge of my seat. I'm just wondering; Who else did she kill? The suspense!

Posted by Imogene on September 30, 2008 at 11:05 PM EDT #

i loved all your books in the private series my fav. was Ambition.I loved how Noelle started being reeds friend but i dont think reed was being wrong with dash. she had no clue they where getting back together and i think noelle sent it to everybody. Any way i kinda feel sorry for ivy but josh is wrong i liked thomas better than. PEACE OUT!?!?!?!? CHRISSA

Posted by chrissa on October 01, 2008 at 12:49 AM EDT #

heyy i was bored and googled the private series and wikipedia tells you which characters are which on the cover of the very first book in the series and it said that kate was the one who gave the info. BUT don't get too excited because wikipedia information can be edited by anyone and it wasn't posted on here so... who knows may be right may be wrong but here's the link to the page if any of you are interested. it actually is pretty cool tells all about the characters too you just have to follow a couple more links off that page. oh yeah and it says the upcoming books.... the list stops after suspicion =[ please don't stop writing kate!! or atleast give us a happy ending.. Reed with Josh forever and Reed and Noelle as best friends lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_(novel_series)

Posted by Megan on October 01, 2008 at 03:03 AM EDT #

thanks for that link megan. i have a question though.. if you read it all it says that there is a trailer for inner circle. does anyone have a link for it? i cant find it on youtube.

Posted by Katie on October 01, 2008 at 04:47 PM EDT #

seriously i love these books! i cant wait! only 6 more dayss! and yes i must admit i found out the exacttt time that Reid did. i thought it was Amberly all along, that girl is a little bitchhh! but ya im really excited :]

Posted by samycia lewis on October 01, 2008 at 05:18 PM EDT #

Dear Kate, your writing is amazing. But I was just curious (trying not to spoil anything for those who have yet to read Revelation) are you planning on writing anymore Private novels, or is that finished? Here's hoping you have a few tricks up your sleeves. I am addicted to that particular series, and I need my fix <3

Posted by Jamie on October 01, 2008 at 06:54 PM EDT #

OH......My......Gawd!!!!! I can't wait any longer for Paradise Lost!!! PLEASE post it!!!! I've been thinking about the ending of Revelation all day long! I got in trouble like four times for "spacing out in class" But it's killing me to know if Reed, Josh, and even Noelle are okay! I mean WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED??? I thought about wat happened but can't think of any good conclusions!!! OH.....My.....GAWD!!!!

Posted by Tori on October 01, 2008 at 06:55 PM EDT #

I just read some of the comments and saw that many people have spolied the ending. So I am really hopeing that Reed finally gets the Senior Year she deserves, a boy she loves, Ivy & Noelle & Reed as friends, Reed back at Billings (not forgetting about her new friends though) oh and obviously Sabine locked up in a cell with her sister (confrontation between the three?) Anyway, Reed really deserves a happy ending, so I am really hoping everything goes black because of a concusion from Josh knocking her down, haha. Always hoping for the best =P Anyway, wonderful job with the ending, I had no clue Sabine was capable of anything that she did, but I guess thats the whole idea of the entire series. Please let us know that more novels (Private) are on the way!

Posted by Jamie on October 01, 2008 at 07:00 PM EDT #

I went out to buy it as soon as possible. It was great :) One of the best books yet. My friends suspected Sabine, but I didn't until it was obvious. I hope Reed and Noelle can be friends again, and Reed can be with Josh again. I actually like Ivy now, she's awesome. Keep up the good work! I can't wait for Last Christmas + Paradise Lost.

Posted by Krista on October 01, 2008 at 08:02 PM EDT #

First I'd like to say I love the Private series! You are an amzing author! I'm trying to get all my friends hooked so I can talk to someone about them. I never thought it could be her until the first few chapters of Revelation. Now I've gone back and read all the books and It makes perfect sense. Thanks for an awesome ending to the second arch!

Posted by Maddie on October 01, 2008 at 08:06 PM EDT #

OMG this is a awesome book and I have to know what happens next so you better write the next book soon!!!

Posted by McKenna on October 01, 2008 at 09:39 PM EDT #

Hi! So, I just started reading the Private series last month. I went to the bookstore and randomly pick up the first book and got hooked! As soon as I finished the first, I went back and bought all the rest! :) I think they are great books and am so anxious for the next one!

Posted by Christine on October 01, 2008 at 11:04 PM EDT #

I read the PROLOGUE for LAST CHRISTMAS. I never knew Kate Brian wrote one! So while I was reading it, it made me teary eyed and it gave me tons of chills! I have someone in mind who I think Ariana killed. It made me even sadder ot know that Thomas really really loved Reed. Gosh, I really liked Thomas.

Revelation was extremely shocking! i never would have thought it could be Sabine stalking Reed ... and Ivy? I'm so interested, you have to keep writing!

Posted by laura on October 03, 2008 at 12:23 AM EDT #

So is there another private novel after Revelation ?! I'M DYING TO KNOW ! THERE NEEDS TO BE !

Posted by Zoé on October 03, 2008 at 10:57 AM EDT #

paradise lost??!!! whats that? and another series about people from the private series? ugh! i think 2 is enough! anyway i didnt finsih revelation but i looked at the last chapter in the book and i was SHOCKED. i cant believe it was sabine! she seemed so innocent! who know sabine was ariana's sister! just wow.most books are really predicted but the private series is anything BUT!

Posted by Deborah on October 03, 2008 at 02:59 PM EDT #

OMG long time no type lol ive been so busy with school (high school is not as fun as it used to be!) any ways ***********Lauren************** They characters arent on the book...their just models like in this book called clique their not the real people but some of them look like they should be. Also i hate this petition thing: 1-u need to give out ur email which i dont do 2-if u make it into a movie/tv series they ruin the book b/c they add and delete things and sometimes those things are better then nothing for example harry potter (yes ima dork lol jk)and 3-when i see a movie or tv series that was a book it kinda ruins it for me because i visiuals things and when i see something different it basically screws everything up for me.

Posted by Katelyn on October 03, 2008 at 04:03 PM EDT #

i just got "last christmas," and it's really, really good so far. i'm so excited to see everyting from ariana's point of view!

Posted by Becca on October 03, 2008 at 07:12 PM EDT #

KATELYN, totally agree with you. I wouldn't want it as a movie/tv show, but that's just my opinion. For English class, I did my book report on REVELATION and my teacher said that I made the book sound very interesting! haha. Also, I'm in high school too. Can't wait for LAST CHRISTMAS!

Posted by Jacqueline on October 03, 2008 at 07:20 PM EDT #

Are you going to make another book after Revelation? You need to...I want to c wat happens to Josh and Reed...=)

Posted by Caitlyn on October 03, 2008 at 07:23 PM EDT #

Posted by Mariama on October 03, 2008 at 08:03 PM EDT #

I read the book in 1 day it was soo good. I didn't see anything coming at all. Everything was so unexpected! I seriously thought it was going to be Amberly, Ivy, or Noelle. I can't wait to find out what happened to Reed and Josh. I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to know what was going to happen. It left off with a cliffhanger, can't wait for the next one in the series! [:

Posted by stephanie on October 03, 2008 at 09:58 PM EDT #

wow revelation was amazinggg i kinda expected it kinda didn't i thought that ariana would be at easton or something but i didnt really think it would be sabine wow i just got done reading it and i can't wait for the book after this one i just really hope Josh or Reed didn't die. These books are so good they are my favorite everrr i think im gunna read them all over again starting with Last Christmas only like 3 more days!!! Thanks for writing these books they are amaaaaaazzzzzing

Posted by Nora on October 04, 2008 at 01:27 PM EDT #

wow last christmas was really good but wierd i mean i hate ariana for doing everything she did but this book was good though even it was from ariana's point of view it shows how much more of a phyco she is

Posted by Sheila on October 04, 2008 at 02:10 PM EDT #

OMG revelation was a total shocker the fact that Sabine was the killer this whole time! i REALLy never thought that. And im really excited because this shows that the whole thing between Reed and Dash was an accident and now Josh and Reed can be back together and Noelle and Reed can be best friends again, although im not sure about Ivy. I'm itching to see if anyone died though. Is Paradise LOst gonna be the last book? I hope not anyway i can't wait til February, how about early december or late november?

Posted by Hayat on October 04, 2008 at 02:35 PM EDT #

OMFG i love revelation i bought all the books of the private series and im just rereading till you write new one Does Reed die? i cant belive it was Sabine omfgg what is the book after last christmas?

Posted by Alicia on October 04, 2008 at 02:54 PM EDT #

OMG KATE!! wow all my friends call me such a nerd because i read books all the time, but its so hard to explain to them that your novels are AMAZING. like my heart was seriously pounding when i finished revalation. its sitting right here next to me and when i look at it i have sooo many questions. i thought reed got shot? i guess not if paradise lost is coming out. cant wait to read the prequel and read the next one in the series in february! your my favorite author!! muahh xoxo. kristen

I Just read Last Chrismas and it was really good!!!!!

Posted by Anna on October 04, 2008 at 08:25 PM EDT #

Holy Crap! Everyone who thought that Revelation was amazing and heart-pounding (which it was) is going to have a total HEART ATTACK when they read Last Christmas!!!!! It is phenomenal! I couldn't put it down and finished it in roughly 4 hours. You really get into Ariana's head. I don't want to ruin it for anyone but I just have to say this: Daniel has the same birthday as me! lol.

Posted by Carolyn on October 04, 2008 at 10:09 PM EDT #

Huh, my previous comment was considered spam...and I didn't even put anything bad! No spoilers, no put-downs, nuthing! It was all about how phenomenal Last Christmas was and that Daniel has the same Bday as me. :D

Posted by Carolyn on October 04, 2008 at 10:12 PM EDT #

aabout last christmas....was it sad? thts all i ask for...plus is reed in it? thts not reallly a spolier cuz im not asking about ariana or anything.

Posted by allison on October 05, 2008 at 10:30 AM EDT #

omg i did the petition like 100 times! o and i think that the sequal to privleage is beautiful disaster

Posted by mary on October 05, 2008 at 11:44 AM EDT #

Posted by emily on October 05, 2008 at 12:57 PM EDT #

This book was amazing, I cant wait to read last christmas, but I would much rather you write another book, because you just left me hanging, I really really really need to know what happeneds next, it just cant end like that. Immmmmm begging you. lol I love these books, like my felow readers as soon as i start i cant stop i have to read the whole book even if it means staying up late. Thank you. <3

Posted by Dori on October 05, 2008 at 01:02 PM EDT #

If Josh died I will hit whoever is nearest me when I read it. And maybe i'll cry. And I will hate this series. I really hope somebody just got shot in the arm or something, and Josh dumps Ivy because she was so bitchy to Reed, and Josh wants to date Reed but can't decide but eventually does. Ivy dating Josh is so ruining this book for me.

Posted by Kate on October 05, 2008 at 01:45 PM EDT #

And Thomas so brought his death upon himself. I mean, Ariana is standing there with a bat and he starts insulting her and her mom? what the hell? Its like suicide.

Posted by Kate on October 05, 2008 at 01:48 PM EDT #

oh one more thing. I think PARADISE LOST is about how sabine is from an island and she leaves Billings and then evrythings all crazy and not fun. And I'm a sophomore too.

Posted by Kate on October 05, 2008 at 01:53 PM EDT #

omggoshh! last christmas was amazing. i picked up my copy a couple days ago so im sure all of your bookstores already have it!it was great! no spoilers, i know! hahaha but omg you have to read it. it puts a little sense into the series. i cant wait until december for another one of kates novels!!!! ahhhhhh! so ima read the whole private series over again. maybe ill notice sometihngs i never noticed before hahaha! kate brian is my fav author.

Posted by kellly on October 05, 2008 at 01:58 PM EDT #

Okay, HONESTLEY GUYS... do you really think that Kate would kill the narrator/main character and come out with another book? Think about it. lol But I hope Josh doesn't die! That would be terrible. :( Well, can't wait 'till Last Chrismas comes in the mail! Keep writing Kate! :)

Posted by Melody on October 05, 2008 at 05:08 PM EDT #

o i wonder if last christmas or privlege will have sabine in them. o but serieusly, thomas didnt bring his death upon himself. i mean, woulndt you be angry if they did that to you? i mean, he was just defending himself and reed.

Posted by Mary on October 05, 2008 at 06:56 PM EDT #

O. MY. GOD. basically half my school is hooked on private and we do this thing where the first person to buy one of the books basically gets ambushed and has to have like, a waiting list so everyone can get it. i was 3rd on the list for Revelation and it was SO GOOD! will there be a clip from Paradise Lost in Last Christmas? i'm dying for more!

Posted by Malia on October 05, 2008 at 07:15 PM EDT #

wow. wow. wow. the ending was completely crazy! didn't expect that one at all!! and gosh i hope Reed and Josh are okay! ...and hopefully if they both survive they'll get back together.. since now Josh knows that Reed didn't cheat on him with Dash on purpose. oh boy! i'm excited! PLEASE post a chapter or 2 of Paradise Lost or you could maybe move the release date?? ....that would be amazing but probably impossible... since it has to be printed a million times and all that crap.

Posted by Kaylee on October 05, 2008 at 07:41 PM EDT #

theres no excerpt from paradise lost in last christmassss =[ i was hoping there would be. im sad. ahha can you put one up?!! PLEASE!

Posted by Bella on October 05, 2008 at 07:48 PM EDT #

Revelation was one of the most AMAZING books I have ever read. I cannot WAIT for Paradise Lost... please give us a preview! Don't let Josh die!

Posted by Pk on October 05, 2008 at 08:25 PM EDT #

I love your books! REVELATION was the best from all of them.. i just wished that josh and reed ended up together.. and i hope that josh is okay :) it never said if he made it out okay but i hope he did.. and reed i hope she is okay..i know maybe she didnt make it but maybe she is like in a coma or something and when she wakes up or something she and josh will get back together..i dont think that happened but i'll pretend it did :)

Posted by ruby trejo on October 05, 2008 at 08:32 PM EDT #

i loved "last christmas." ariana is such a complex character, and i actually kind of felt sorry for her.

Posted by Becca on October 05, 2008 at 09:09 PM EDT #

Revelation was amazing! I couldn't stop reading it once i started. The ending was totally shocking and i really hope Josh is ok, i really hope he doesn't die he's so awesome. I want to know what happens between him and Reed sooo bad!This is my favorite series of all time and this is my favorite one out of all of them, i can't wait for the next one to come out! Thanks Kate.

Posted by Janelle on October 05, 2008 at 09:58 PM EDT #

Jacqueline and Kate (haha just add the lyn to the end of ur name and we could have the same name!!) yep us sophmores rule lol or at least we do at r school. any ways OMG my mom wont take me to get LAST CHRISTMAS!!!!! ima cry (literally) but did last christmas have like a first chapters thingie at the end of it like revelation? Does ne one in here live in Florida by any chance?

Posted by Katelyn on October 06, 2008 at 02:12 PM EDT #

Hey Kate. Revalation was amazing. I loved it. Josh and Reed belong together, and i hope they get back together.Last Christmas was also so good. i actually started to like Ariana again, and Thomas is amamzing. he seems like one of those guys that if they say i to you, you might die. And i was also wondering if for the contests you could add canada's provinces. i would love to win the e.l.f. make up. that would be awesome. thank you so much. I LOVE YOUR BOOKS. cant wait for the next one in december. bye

Posted by Christina on October 06, 2008 at 03:57 PM EDT #

tomorrow can not come fast enough!! i cant wait to get last christmas

Posted by kaylee on October 06, 2008 at 04:11 PM EDT #

I literally finished Revelation ten minutes ago. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that I cannot breathe. Everyone, you should definately read Last Christmas before you read Revelation, if you haven't already. It just makes everything more dramatic. But seriously, I have never had a book shock me the way Revelation did! I'm actually glad that Ivy & Reed became almost friends, or alliances away. Although that will all be blown when Reed & Josh get back together, but it'll be worth it. Reed & Josh are going to get back together right?! Because I know they both have to be alright, they have to! :)

Posted by Molly A. on October 06, 2008 at 05:27 PM EDT #

Kate, REVALATIONS was unbelievable. I'll be the first to admit the ending caught me totally off guard, and yes tears were shed. Please tell me this is not the end! I need to know, is there a book after REVALATIONS????

Posted by Kalah on October 06, 2008 at 06:14 PM EDT #

omg, i got last christmas today! im almost done with it. It is so good. but dont worry i wont post any spoilers. cant wait to finish!

Posted by Morgan Williams on October 06, 2008 at 07:10 PM EDT #

Reed and Josh better not be dead...i'll be very upset if this is true. maybe sabine killed herself. i look forward to the upcoming book.

Posted by kayleigh on October 06, 2008 at 07:48 PM EDT #

haha. yeah sophomores rule! :) I would be devastated if Josh dies. More devastated than Thomas dying. (Which is a BIG thing, I was like depressed the past days after I read that Thomas was dead). You know how Ivy kept saying that Noelle is going to get it(as in like karma is coming for her....)well, i'm positive that Ivy has nothing to do with the whole situation but what if Noelle gets shot?

Posted by Jacqueline on October 06, 2008 at 07:56 PM EDT #

omg. I'm getting last Chritmas today!!! I'm soooo excited, and I know for a fact that I'm not going to put it down until I finish it. lol. I know its going to be as good as everyone says!

Posted by Kelsie on October 07, 2008 at 09:01 AM EDT #

im gonna cry everyone is getting last christmas and i can't!!!!! P.S. (Wats 3+0 lol j/k these math problems are kinda retarded, but i guess it keeps spam out or something like that)

Posted by Katelyn on October 07, 2008 at 02:09 PM EDT #

Reverlation blew my mind. me and my friends kind of started our own little book club at school with just the private series and when we all finished we weer at a loss of words. we are all speculating what really happened at the end of it. i'm so excited to read paradise lost, although i do agree, i wish it would come out earlier then freburary. this is the best book series i have ever read. your absolutly brilliant kate brian. x0Nix

Posted by nikkie on October 07, 2008 at 04:07 PM EDT #

OMG that book was so amazing I read it all in a day practically. I cant believe the next one doesnt come out till February that is an eternity I'm looking forward to reading last Christmas though=)

Posted by Jessica Fox on October 07, 2008 at 11:09 PM EDT #

oh my god!!! i just read revelation is one day! i was crying so badly at the end! i had no idea it was sabine, i totally thought it was ivy. and then i thought it was amberly. please tell me reed doesnt really die!! i cant wait to see what happens to reed, josh, and noelle. you are an amazing writer!

Posted by Hannah on October 08, 2008 at 07:41 PM EDT #

OMG I can't believe what happened. I could have sworn it was Noelle!!! Sabine and Ariana sisters... omg poor Josh I hope he doesn't die!!! I hope Reed and Josh get back together and Ivy goes into billings with reed and they are all besties but that would be too perfect! omg omg still can't believ i was in tears!! You are an amazing writter!!! I can't wait for the story to continue! Last christmas is gonna be good but i really want to continue the other story!!!!!!!!

Posted by Bunhead on October 08, 2008 at 10:55 PM EDT #

omg. loved all the books...we know it wasnt reed who died or it would be the end of the series.i wouldnt read these books without reed or josh or noelle.i wish that the next book would come out like next week!!!!!!! Great job Kate (a.k.a. Kirian Scott) Keep it up! You are deffinatley my favorite author. -<3- Me

Posted by Liz on October 09, 2008 at 04:25 PM EDT #

OMG!!! Revelation was the best book i have ever read!!!! Kate you rock!!! I think that Reed got shot but I don't think that she dies. I think that she probably got shot in the arm or something! If Josh is not okay, then i am going to die. He is my favorite character of all time, and he is clearly still in love with Reed... I hope! lol. hehe. Thanks so much Kate for writing the greatest books on earth.

Posted by Livi on October 09, 2008 at 11:32 PM EDT #

Revelation was absolutely fantastic! I just finished reading it and im eager to find out what happens next?!!! I really hope reed and josh didn't die. february is tooooooooooo far away! >:[ But i am excited about Priveldge :). I do have to say, Revelation is my all time favorite book out of all the books, but i really wanna know more! can't wait!! You are an amazing writer...dont stop writing these books EVER.

Posted by Cyd on October 09, 2008 at 11:48 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! Just wanted to say "Revelation" was great! I never suspected Sabine! At the last part of the book, when Reed found out it was Sabine, and Sabine was Adriana's sister, my heart dropped! I was so surprised!! I can not wait until "Paradise Lost"!! (At first I thought this was the last book..I was like "NOOOOOOO." at the end... :) I really hope Reed and Josh will get back together, because they are perfect for each other...I'm even a teensy bit jealous ;) Please keep giving us exciting books! xoxo

Posted by Camille on October 11, 2008 at 02:02 PM EDT #

oh my god revelation was aaaaaaamazing! i could NOT put it down.. i need to know if reed is alive asap.. like i was crying when i finished! how long do i have to wait? i'm excited for the prequel but i really need a sequel right now!!!

Posted by Danielle on October 11, 2008 at 05:00 PM EDT #

Posted by Lindsay on October 12, 2008 at 12:58 PM EDT #

OMG! i cannot belive Sabine! how dare she take it into her hands too destroy reeds life and then be so nice to her face! haha sorry just a little excited, just finished revelation! ok so if reed or josh dies im NEVER going to buy anymore of her books because i cannot take it when all the time it keeps repeating about the death of someone else. ANYWAYS! Paradise Lost has to come out earlier or else i will FREAK!!! lol i wont be able to sleep, eat, or think!!! PLZ LET IT COME OR SOONER :( lol ok I ? PRIVATE

Posted by Adrie on October 12, 2008 at 06:23 PM EDT #

OH MY GOD Kate that ending was really surprising!!!! I never thought Sabine was Ariana's sister and i never once suspected her of killing Cheyanne!!!! I cant beleive Sabine would have the guts 2 kill any1!!! If Reed or Josh died i swear im gonna cry!!! lolz....well anyway you are an awsome writer!!! I dont think any1 that read REVELATION was expecting that ending!! lolz welll l8erz

Posted by lanas on October 12, 2008 at 07:42 PM EDT #

That was shocking! Sabine a killer? My jaw dropped when I was done with this book! I havent read anything more exciting/scary/funny than your books! I cant beleive Reed got shot! If there was another book, what would happen? I finished this book today, and now I'm going to start Last Christmas very very soon! I'm so shocked that Sabine is Ariana's sister. Is Sabine going to be mentioned in Priveledge and Last Christmas? I feel so bad for Reed! She got shot! Oh my gosh!!!!! Make more books! ~Selene

Posted by Selene on October 12, 2008 at 08:15 PM EDT #

heyy these books are the best. i read revalation in a day, i couldnt put it down, but i really want to know what happens next!!! can't you release the next on in like December.

Posted by Sarah Durkin on October 12, 2008 at 11:08 PM EDT #

Posted by Lydia on October 13, 2008 at 01:39 AM EDT #

OMG. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO JOSH AND REED? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED IT WAS SABINE ALL ALONG. WHOA BABY. GREAT BOOOOK:]]]

Posted by megggghannnnnn on October 13, 2008 at 06:33 PM EDT #

I just finished the book and it was sssssssoooooo good!!! I cannot believe what happened!! There were so many twists and turns I was just shocked!!! It was great!! =)

Posted by Megs on October 14, 2008 at 04:39 PM EDT #

Posted by Jenna on October 14, 2008 at 07:07 PM EDT #

hey kate!! thanks soo much for writing the private series! all my friends and i love them and read them all the time!! i think that revelation was amazing and the best one yet!! i finished it in a day and i couldnt put it down!! im hoping this isnt the end of the series and soo pumped for when the next one comes out!!!

Posted by Claire on October 16, 2008 at 12:52 PM EDT #

Hey Kate Just finished Revelation and I am still in shock over the twist in the book I followed Reed throughout most of the book but I added in my own suspects I added Noelle and Trey even though I was mostly suspicious of Amberly and Ivy. I couldnt believe my eyes when I read that Reed and Ivy teamed up and started hunting for Cheyennes killer together.I was very surprised to read about the photo of Sabines I knew instantly after reading that part that Ariana and Sabine were sisters but I was still really surprised when I found out that Sabine was the stalker murderer. I am so relieved to find out that there is to be a 9th book as I originally thought Revelation was the last one and after that you were doing first Christmas and your spin off series based on Ariana. I will be anxiously awaiting the 9th book in 2009. Thank you Kate for writing such an amazing series that keeps me on the edge of my seat. You can bet on me picking up your next books. Keep going girl.

Posted by jenny on October 16, 2008 at 04:31 PM EDT #

I love all of your books. When i read the first book, i was hooked to the series. I hope you write more books besides LAST CHRISTMAS. Im so waiting for a lot more of this series.

Posted by april on October 18, 2008 at 03:25 PM EDT #

ahhh this book was amazing! I loved it all the way but I hope Josh didn't get hurt. I think it'd be more ... dramatic if it was Reed. I don't know it just fits better I guess since she blacked out. Also I don't want anything to hurt Josh ): So sweet.

Posted by stori on October 18, 2008 at 09:24 PM EDT #

OMFGGG.! YOU CANNOT HAVE JOSH OR REED DIE.! THAT WOULD BE WAYYY TO DEPRESSING AND I WOULD CRY. I HOPE JOSH IS OKAY.! BUT PARADISE LOST COULD MEAN THAT JOSH DIES BECAUSE HE IS REEDS PARADISE.? I HOPE NOT.!! I DONT THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO READ IT. TOO MUCHT HEARTBRAKE FOR REED. FIRST THOMAS, THEN JOSH.?I JUST HOPE THEY ARE OKAY..! I CANT WAIT TILL FEBRUARY. COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS.!

Posted by Ashley Honey on October 19, 2008 at 01:11 PM EDT #

Amazing! When I glanced at the cover, I had suspicions about Sabine, but I SO did not expect Ariana and Sabine... this series just gets more and more addictive, and not to mention suspenseful. Who got shot?! Reed or Josh?! Dang, I hope it missed both of them... Anyway, I absolutely love all the plot twists and cannot wait until February :D

Posted by Corinne on October 20, 2008 at 07:44 AM EDT #

Omigosh! I can't wait for Paradise Lost! Please can you post the first chapter soon, I really don't like being left in the air. I just hope Josh and Reed are ok. Jess :)

Posted by Jess Heard on October 21, 2008 at 02:25 PM EDT #

Wow, I can't believe how stunning that book was. :) I picked up the first book of the series without much intention of reading it, but it turned out so...epic! I was pretty much as insane as Reed in Revelation to find out who killed Cheyenne! :( So Reed isn't dead? That's what I thought happened, and I freaked. Can't wait for the other books! AWESOME SERIES! <3

Posted by Imogene on October 21, 2008 at 07:51 PM EDT #

Okay so I finished Revelation and I'm really confused about how it ended. Did Reed die, or Josh? Will there ever be an explanation or is it up to us to decide? I'm really hoping that there will be more to come, I can't imagine it ending that way.

Posted by Erica on October 22, 2008 at 07:50 PM EDT #

Hey Readers. thank you so much for al the comments, i appreciate them. I work hard on these books (though its fun) and its nice to know people like them. Please keep the spoilers to youself because other people want to read it and have suspense! thank you so much, keep reading! Kate

Posted by Kate Brian on October 22, 2008 at 08:03 PM EDT #

I can't believe that. what a surprise ending. I wish your next book came out earlier. What happened with Josh reed and Noelle...and Sabine...what a phsyco

Posted by Lee on October 23, 2008 at 10:47 AM EDT #

i loveeeeee! these books i read Last Christmas in under 3 hours it was so amazing. As for the way revelation ended i need to no more! Are you making another book? You neeeeddddd to! i could not believe the way it ended please tell me you are making another one!

Posted by lauren on October 23, 2008 at 08:36 PM EDT #

Wow! these books are like amazing! There are so many cliff hangers. I soooooo can't wait to find out about Thomas and Ariana. I've already read the first chapter and ready to read more! there are so many quetions to be answered. Kate your books rock! P.S. I want to give a shout out to my friend Morgan for starting me on the series!

Posted by Emily Nanneman on October 24, 2008 at 11:14 PM EDT #

I want to know what happens when sabrine shot Reed. It stopped there. I WANT TO KNOW MORE.

Posted by Janine on October 25, 2008 at 02:12 PM EDT #

I loved Revelation! Totally did not see Sabine as being the murder or being Ariana's sister. I am however glad Reed was drugged because I never really believed she would cheat on Josh! She loves him! Speaking of which if you killed Josh I am so done with the series I mean if he just found out it was not her fault like it was not his fault and now they dont get to be together...it will be totally depressing. I am sad the books about Ariana are coming up before we find out what happened to Reed I mean personally I care more about what happens to Reed and could care less about Ariana. I'll still read the books about Ariana but there is no way they will be as good as the books about Reed. PLEASE get the next Private book out soon!

Posted by Melissa on October 26, 2008 at 02:05 PM EDT #

I love this series. It is so addicting I just want to lick. Not really but still. I just finished Revelation like twenty minutes ago and have been trying to type a comment for a while. I don't think anyone died. I just think that someone got shot like in the leg or something because Sabine wasn't looking. She seemed mad enough but when she closed her I eyes I think she knew what she was getting into when she pulled that trigger. Paradise Lost MUST come out earlier than the due date. It is just way too long to way. I mean do you want to kill us of anticiption, Kate?? I love your books and you are a great writer. I really hope this series will go on forever and ever and ever. Private series lover OUT!

Posted by Erin on October 26, 2008 at 05:51 PM EDT #

Oh my gosh I LOVED Reading revalation. I stayed up til like 2 in the morning reading it all the day i bought it. There are so many questions I have now though. I hope Reed and Josh are okay and I hope everythings going to work out with Noelle. Can't wait for the next book!!

Posted by Katie on October 29, 2008 at 07:01 PM EDT #

hey kate! omgsh i love this series! but i have one question when are we gonna find out if reed and josh live or if they get killed by the gun shot that sabine shot please i need to know im dying here!

Posted by emily on October 30, 2008 at 07:48 PM EDT #

OMGGGG...when are you going to finish the private series??? the cliff-hanger was too much for me!!

Posted by Qui on November 01, 2008 at 07:10 PM EDT #

OMFG... ooo mmmm gggggggggg.... thattt wus the best book everrrrrr!!!!!!!!i wuss soo suprisedd in the endingg nd soo sadd that the book ended:( but i cant wait for the next oneee!!!! i hope reed and josh are both alivee. theyy make really cute couplee.. love themm. i wish i wus reed. i love josh i hope he doesnt die. i actually cried when reed wus waiting outside for her dad to come pick her up nd then josh came running and wus about to tell her he loved her but then shee stopped him...it wus so sad:( my heart hurt for josh. i could see him standing theree all lonely wen the car drove off. i just wanted to hug him:(

Posted by hr7 on November 02, 2008 at 03:10 AM EST #

OMIGOSH. Even though he's kinda innapropriate and stuff (lol) I totally forgave Thomas for everything he made Reed feel after reading Last Christmas. Arianna is insane! That's so freaky! Of course he wouldn't like her anymore! It's so weird, there are some characters I'm like omj i need to meet them and then other ones im like geez im glad they don't really exist... lol. great job, you're really inspiring! keep making these books forever, i will be reading them even when im old!!!

the book was so good but could you please give us a sneek peek. i and most people really want to see josh and reed be together forever and forget about ivy etc. reed has lost and been though so much its so crazy and if josh dies i dont think i could read the book anymore because its sooo unrealsitic! i love the series though! preview pleasee?

honestly. kate. you know exactly what you are doing. i was one of the first people to read the book, and i had no idea what to say..and still don't over two months later. thank you.

Oh my freakin god i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved revelation sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much it is so good!!!! i know it may sound weird but my favorite character is Ivy ;) I mean now that she's w/ Josh we realize there has to be something good about her. I used to love Noelle but now IDK cause she was mean!!!! Cheyenne... Yeah... OMG OMG OMG OMG I just CANNOT believe ...... (yeah i can't say it b/c if some people haven't read the book yet) yeah i can't believe he/she did it i mean i would never ever ever ever ever have expected that. Kate your books are soooooo sooooo good I bought Last Christmas and I'm gonna start reading it like right now but i can't can't can't wait for the next one to come out. I guess I'll read Privilege ;) Anyways i'm not sooo sure i hope josh and reed get back together cause I don't know... it just don't... "fit". but whatever. I'm DYING to read the next one and I hope Josh doesn't die because i love him sooooooooooooooo much!!! and i love Ivy too and i think they "kinda" look good together... well bye

Hello. I loved Revelation soooo much. I was truly awesome. Cannot wait three months for Paradise Lost, though. My favorite characters: Josh and Ivy (yes ;) Well, gotta go. Love love love Private (and Josh too ;))

Hey! oh my gosh, these books are so good!!!!!! I read all eight in two days:) that's how good they were, and honestly I had no idea who the killer was in Revelation, the end was amazing. The cliff hanger pratically killed me, but it was great. Oh and Reed and Josh have to get back together!!!

Posted by kristin on December 21, 2008 at 02:22 PM EST #
