PRIVATE - The Official Site

hi, i think she does deserve to fall in love because she REALLY did love Thomas but i can see why people might not think she deserves a decent boy! she deserves to be happy but away from her former life! ellie...x

Posted by ellie on April 17, 2009 at 12:06 PM EDT #

Umm.. I think she should get someone who's nerdy ^^, and then they can isolate themselves, maybe even a closet murderer?

I have just started reading the private series not very long ago. I love them! I read one in less then three hours. I am a major reader! I love to read series. I just finished today Inner Circle. I am reading the blogs and I cannot wait until I am at the new series! Kate, your books are sooo good!I am glad I picked this series to read!

Posted by Alison S on April 17, 2009 at 01:24 PM EDT #

i want you to continue with the private series.. i want to know who pushed reed into the water and i want more from upton!! i have read privilege and its very good but i am still a reed fan. i read them in 2 hours and cant get enough of them. your books are so suspensful and keep me interested. i have no idea who was stalking reed and i kept guessing people and was always wrong. i would have never guess it was sabine!! please please please write another one, i want to know what happens. you left me with so many questions.

Posted by katharine on April 17, 2009 at 01:38 PM EDT #

Hi Kate I am 24 lol and my younger sister told me to read your books and I love them! I finished most of them when I had spare time during work! Do you think there's any chance there might be a movie out of this series or a tv show? I hope so!! I really want to know what the characters look like!

Posted by Hira on April 17, 2009 at 02:27 PM EDT #

well honestly... she's kinda scary... like really scary... so i feel terribly nervious for any boy that might come into her life. She's unstable, so if they were to like, break up or something, she might try to kill him or something.... so I'm not sure if she should get a boy... maybe if he was someone who could match her psychotic-ness.... hahahaha

Posted by Amanda S. on April 17, 2009 at 03:30 PM EDT #

oops... i spelled nervous wrong... sorry about that everyone.

Posted by Amanda S. on April 17, 2009 at 03:32 PM EDT #

and also, post more blogs kate!! we love to hear what you're up to... and it's toruture enough to have to wait for the next books... at least keep us updated on what you've been doing... =D.... keep writing!

Posted by Amanda S. on April 17, 2009 at 03:33 PM EDT #

I think she should have one more try at love and c how it turns out. Hopefully she won't kill him. But i think she should be with... ummm i forgot his name but i know i liked it. But the guy who she was with in the first one. if some how that could work out that would be cool. But i know that'll never happen because she lied too much already. so any cute guy who is nice to her and treats her well. just don't have her kill him. That would be terrible!!

Posted by Morgan on April 17, 2009 at 03:42 PM EDT #

HUDSON IS PEREFCT FOR ARIANA. But...can you please post the first chapter of Suspicion like you did with Padadise Lost? September is sooo far away from here! And if Hudson comes to visit Easton like he said in the text, OMG, what if he sees Reed? Cause Reed's going to be a senior by then.

Posted by Vicky on April 17, 2009 at 03:51 PM EDT #

Right thats his name,HUDSON, see i knew i liked it. Like i said before he would be great!! If that could somehow work out!?!?!?

Posted by Morgan on April 17, 2009 at 04:02 PM EDT #

OMJ! I love Reed, she is so awesome. And I hope that Josh and Reed get back together. But I don't know if Ariana should get another chance because she might kill that guy too so maybe she shouldn't have another boyfriend...but everyone deserves a second chance. Reed got one so why shouldn't Ariana?

Posted by Sindi Hollis on April 17, 2009 at 04:15 PM EDT #

OMG i dont really think i can imagine ariana with another boy but she needs a guy JUSSSSSTTT like hudson becuz that would be like AMAZING !! oh and that thing about huson seeing reed is crazy !! wow AND PLEASE POST BEGINING OF SUSPICION NOWWISHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUVVV U MORE THAN LIFE COME TO CANADA EDMONTON ALBERTA KATE TO DO A BOOK SIGHNING I WOULD LIKE I DONT KNOW your AMAZING !!

Posted by Chloe Hollis on April 17, 2009 at 04:32 PM EDT #

hey kate! i was so excited when you posted a new blog. i think that ariana should get to fall in love because then it will take the thought of her "loosing" her first love, thomas, to reed out of her head then she will hopefully not come back to hurt reed -mackenzie

Posted by Mackenzie on April 17, 2009 at 04:38 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! I say Ariana should get what she deserves...have her experience what Reed did. I know she loved Thomas...I did too. Wait! Another possibility could be that she falls in love with someone really sweet..like Josh Hollis(not him, someone like him!, who won't betray her and who's not a player

Posted by Vivienne McGiles on April 17, 2009 at 04:48 PM EDT #

I think Ariana should confess to Hudson what she did and maybe theres a small chance he wouldnt think shes insane and he would help her. I think Ariana needs a stable person who accepts her, for her to become sane again. I am dying to get Beautiful Disaster and Suspicion. I cant wait!!! Your amazing Kate!!

Posted by Kerri on April 17, 2009 at 04:50 PM EDT #

i think Ariana needs someone just as intense as she is ..after all she did fall in "love" with thomas after like 20 hours

Posted by Lindsay on April 17, 2009 at 05:45 PM EDT #

What if Ariana is at her new school and everything then Daniel Ryan just so happens to be visiting where Ariana is located and he meets her as the 'new' ariana. and they both fall in love with each other. Ariana falls in love again and he believes its a new love. that would be crazy

Posted by Darla on April 17, 2009 at 06:53 PM EDT #

probably just a jock again..or an nice guy

Posted by Laura on April 17, 2009 at 06:59 PM EDT #

i think ariana deserves to fall in love! shes made a lot of mistakes in her life and i think she needs a guy to show her the right way

Posted by Jaime on April 17, 2009 at 07:12 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! Well I absolutely loooooooove your books. I actually discovered Private on the day that it came out, I was just wandering around a bookstore while in Hawaii looking for a good book and a sales lady was putting Private on the shelf. I picked it up and it looked pretty good, I also bought a few other books to read by the pool. That night I couldnt decide which book to read first so I said I will read a chapter in each one and then decide. Well I started to read Chapter one, the ch2, then ch3... I couldnt put it down, I read the whole book that night and the next day when I was sitting by the pool I was wishing that I hadnt finished the book in one shot, I wanted it to keep going! Anyways I think that Ariana should have a boyfriend cause that is what makes your books so good,a little romance, some mystery, and a dash of a luxurious life! Anyways maybe she should find someone similar to "Our Dear Thomas!" Also you have inspired me to write. I have always loved writing and reading, and you have inspired me so much! I know you are a busy, and you have a family, but I wish you would update this blog, or your myspace more frequently, if possible Oh and one more thing Please make Reed and Josh get back together!!! Thanks for writing such wonderful books. I also heard that after Paradise Lost there are only going to be 2 more books? I hope it is not true! Anyways can you confirm or squish this rumor? Thanks!

Posted by Private Fan #1 on April 17, 2009 at 08:00 PM EDT #

No way, she never deserves love. She killed, cheated, and did horrible things. I think she needs to get a control on her life.

Posted by meg on April 17, 2009 at 08:14 PM EDT #

I deffinetly think Arianna Deserves a chance at love or a least a second one. Everyone should get a chance at love its not right if you dont get a chance. Yeah so what if she screwed up the first time. She should still be able to fall in love with someone. The perfect guy for Arianna would be someone who would understand her and not ever leave her. Someone sweet, nice, caring, but also has a dark side to them. Someone kinda like thomas but in a different way if you know what i mean. A bad boy type at first but then she grows to understand that he has a sweet sensitive side after. Kate, i LOVE the private series! Dont ever , ever Stop Writing them! You are like the BEST author ever to walk the planet!!! i mean it!!

Posted by Emily on April 17, 2009 at 08:33 PM EDT #

is there going to be anymore private books.?ive read all of them so far and really want to know what happens further on from the ending of paradise lost.

Posted by vic on April 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM EDT #

I guess Ariana does deserve a second chance at love, even after all the terrible things she has done it evens out with all the terrible things that have been done to her. She even has a vague sense that she knows what she did was wrong, hopefully she can develope a proper conscious and have a sense of morality. I think that the perfect guy for Ariana is a guy that has depth to him and can relate to the situations she has been in. Someone that can hold himself up and is independent and fiercly loyal but also has a dark side to them. Like a bad boy gone good. LOL like the guy version of Serena Van Der Woodson!

Posted by Kayla E. on April 17, 2009 at 11:51 PM EDT #

But seriously, Ariana has got to stop with all the killing, its getting kind of old. And she's killed like what, 3 people already? If she continues her bad habits she'll get whats coming to her, Kaitlyn finding her and eventually killing her.

Posted by Kayla E. on April 18, 2009 at 12:05 AM EDT #

I luv u Kate brian! I'm only on the 6th book but ur soooo awesome! I'll probably finish the series in two weeks! I think Ariana deserves luv Reed thinks she's a physco which is true but I also see arianas side and feel srry 4 her Pls come and do a book signing in Vancouver, BC, Canada!!!! I'm writing a book/story with my friend kinda like private that's ok rite? Abbrielle is the main character... Is it a good name? Luv, alessia

Posted by alessa on April 18, 2009 at 01:19 AM EDT #

Whoa, only six weeks left? Cool! Yes, Ariana deserves another chance! The perfect guy for her is Hudson or someone like Hudson. Could you maybe already post the first chapter of Beautiful Disaster? I love Private and Privilege, keep writing!

Posted by Hannah on April 18, 2009 at 07:28 AM EDT #

hey girz u r so $3xyyyyyyyy i wanna be wit u. im a man of 44 and want h0t bab3$. i love +1+s. get back to me, can we meet? any one?? lov u

I live in Holland and I read there the series Private.I've just read the thirth book of the Private series and it was such an exciting book! I want to know how it's gonna end with Reed and Taylor! We are waiting for the fourth book of the Private series in Holland, but you are already at the 10th book or something! I'm so jealous! Is there a book about Ariana too? Does anybody know if those books are going to be published in Holland? Hihi, I see in the preview that the time is 11.43 AM where you live, at my place is it 17.44. I don't know if it's AM or PM.. Xxx <3.

Posted by Linda from Holland ;) on April 18, 2009 at 11:46 AM EDT #

WOW!!!! I can't wait for beautiful disaster...i HAVE to read it...it's gunna b AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Ariana should find love again beacuse she needs someone to make her less... well...murders...if u know what i mean...she needs someone like thomas and hudson mixed into one!!!!!!!!!!!! Please please keep writing i LOVE your books i got my friends crazy about them!!!!!! I have to know who pused reed over the side of the boat was it upton?????????????

Posted by Kimmy on April 18, 2009 at 11:46 AM EDT #

soz i meant pushed whoops :-( lol

Posted by kimmy on April 18, 2009 at 11:48 AM EDT #

Why these books are...well...WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought Upton could be the one who stalking reed then tried to kill her?!?!?!?! It could be true! But it could have been poppy, paige, amberly have you noticed that ever time reed has nearly died nolle (how ever you spell her name) has been there??????? Also a mix between hudson and thomas would be perfect for ariana

Posted by Lucy on April 18, 2009 at 12:32 PM EDT #

so sorry the first word is meant to be wow btw love the website kate!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Lucy on April 18, 2009 at 12:33 PM EDT #

well it could be i still think it was upton!!!!!!!! kate ur books are amzing and can u please put a sneek pick on it would b so cool if u did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! c ya

Posted by kimmy on April 18, 2009 at 12:39 PM EDT #

really but upton loves reed???? Well i guess he could be faking hmmmm... we'll have to wait and see i guess!!!!!!!

Posted by Lucy on April 18, 2009 at 12:42 PM EDT #

i think that ariana does NOT deserve to fall in love. she is a cold blooded murderer. she took away peoples lives and nothing will ever change that. if she falls in love again...shes bound to kill again.

Posted by privatefan#1!! on April 18, 2009 at 01:06 PM EDT #

Yeah Arianna killed 3 people. But she has a new identity and she wants to change so i think she deserves a second chance. I think the perfect guy would be sweet and caring with a dark side every once in awhile. But the guy wouldn't leave Arianna. A guy kinda like thomas!!! lol that would be cool if she could find someone almost exactlly like Thomas

Posted by EMILY on April 18, 2009 at 01:26 PM EDT #

the movie 17 Again was amazing...u should c it!!!

Posted by Some one on April 18, 2009 at 02:20 PM EDT #

I think that Arianna doesn't deserve a second chance because she's just going to eventually kill someone again , and its probably going to be the boyfriend if he upsets her in anyway . Plus , she already had love but ruined it, she has nobody to blame but herself .By the way , keep up the good work Kate , bye!

Posted by Yasmine on April 18, 2009 at 03:09 PM EDT #

Hey kate, I love ur books they are one of the best book series I've read. :-D Anyway, I think that Ariana deserves a boy as long as she doesnt kill anymore people, I mean, she is kinda crazy. So, if there is a special boy to her, plz let her be kind to him....and by the way i think that Josh and Reed should get back together, cuz i dont really trust Upton, Josh still loves Reed, everyone knows it! Please let them get back together! If u read this....cool! Bye xoxoxo

Posted by izzy on April 18, 2009 at 07:22 PM EDT #

I think Arianna should get a taste of her own medicine and get a really bad botfriend. I really like the private series but it really upsets me how she keeps killing people. I don't like that of Arianna

Posted by Jordann on April 18, 2009 at 07:29 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! First of all I would like to say thank you for writing such amazing books! I have always loved writing but you inspire me so much.I discovered the book Private the day that it came out. I was on vacation in Hawaii and was in a bookstore looking for something to read by the pool. A sales lady was putting the Private books on the shelf. The cover caught my eye so I picked it up, I also got a few other books. That night I was trying to figure out which book I wanted to read first. I decided to read the first chapter of each book and whichever chapter I liked the most would be the book that I would read first. Well I started with Private and read the first chapter and I loved it! Before I knew it I had finished the book and it was 12 midnight! The next day at the pool I was wishing I hadn't devoured the book so quickly. I didn't want the story to end and the other books that I read were okay but didn't even measure up to your book. So thank you for writing such amazing books!

Sorry I ran out of room above, anyways I think that Ariana should definitely find a boyfriend.That is one of the things that I love so much about your books, a little romance, a dash of mystery, and a hint of the luxurious life! I think Ariana should either be reunited with Hudson, or should find someone on campus who is very similar to Our Dear Thomas! Also I know you have a family and are very busy but I would love it if you updated your myspace or this blog more frequently. Thanks!

Posted by Private Fan #1 on April 18, 2009 at 07:45 PM EDT #

I think she should fall in love with a guy similar to Thomas. The girls should also like her and she should become popular again! I hate her though. How dare she get out of jail and then kill her. What happened to Katilyn?

Posted by Rachel E. on April 18, 2009 at 08:17 PM EDT #

I know I"m answering an informal poll and I don't know if you, Kate Brian, will read this personally but I was just wondering why in the first privilege book there is no mention of Sabine or will that be coming later? Well hopefully you post your answer I'm so curious. I think Ariana needs someone who will give her like 24 hour attention, adore her and is very romantic wouldn't we all want someone like that, oh and very emotionally stable because that girl puts the C in Crazzzzy

Posted by Lola Berkley on April 18, 2009 at 09:13 PM EDT #

Hey Kate! I am in love with your books. Okay, I have two things to say, and one is about Revelation and Paradise Lost, the other is about Privelege. 1)I really really really want Josh and Reed to get back together PLEASE. 2) OMG I was SHOCKED when I found out Sabine killed Cheyenne Martin. I thought it was Ivy Slade or Amberly Carmicheal. AWESOME suprise though :) 3) Do you mention anything about Sabine in BEAUTIFUL DIASTER because I want to find out more about the relationship between the two. Thank you! < 3 :)

Posted by May on April 18, 2009 at 10:08 PM EDT #

hey kate! i think that ariana should find true love. even though i hate her, i think she deserves someone because of what happened to Thomas. but i think the guy should be shy and not as "big" as thomas was, because she needs someone to balence her out!

Posted by Sheila on April 18, 2009 at 10:29 PM EDT #

I think that Arianna is too privilaged (just like the title.) I think she deserves a tad bit of hearbreak( hehe more like a ton.) Anyways... I think that she should fall for another one of those sexy players and then have her heart ripped out and stomped on when the school's "Noelle" completely steals him away :) lol... Write More!! I need more Private series and Privilige. I can't get enough. If you take too long I am going to come over to your house and threaten you with a lamp. (not really :P) lol Well do write more! can't wait *sorry for all the spelling mistakes

Posted by Amy on April 18, 2009 at 10:44 PM EDT #

Ariana needs a guys that has class, yet isn't living in la la land either. someone who kind of has a not so perfect background. Call me sappy but everybody deserves love, no matter what they are or have done. So, yes Ariana deserves love but it better be with a guy who i sready to take her as she is. 3 murders and all. i like the guy in Privlege but he's too much a justice type, follow the rules, guy, and though he liked "Emma" he definately wouldnt like Ariana or "Briana"(dnt remember exact spelling).

Posted by Beth on April 18, 2009 at 11:24 PM EDT #

Ariana should not be able to fall in love again. She's done some absolutely terrible things.

Posted by Brittany on April 18, 2009 at 11:47 PM EDT #

Heeey meeee again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyways justst wanted to coment about a comment saying that they were surprised when its was sabine becuz i actually expected it all ALONG about that time wen reed went out of town with josh after cheyanne " offed herself" and sabine was like WHOA freak out much lol. P.S. some people on this sight are crazy " oh ariana deservises to fall in love AGIAN!!!! she only WANTED TO KILL REED AND THE GUY WE ALLLL LOVED THOMAS !!!!" jeeez

Posted by chloe g on April 19, 2009 at 01:18 AM EDT #

one last thing she needs a poor boy who is very real

Posted by chloe g on April 19, 2009 at 01:20 AM EDT #

just like a lot of people above me i also agree that kate you should make more of the private series books!! :) haha i know the book suspicion is comin upp,, but i want more! hopefully, suspicion isn't the last. i am so excited even though i have to wait for a couple months..!! please kate think about it i really want more series of the private and so are many many many others!! love you!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Posted by jane l. on April 19, 2009 at 02:47 AM EDT #

I think you should write some more books about reed too! And also that we find out about shaban (whatever her name is!!!!(ariana sister)) Maybe ariana could break her out of where ever she is!!!!! I love your books!!!!!!

Posted by kimmy on April 19, 2009 at 06:24 AM EDT #

NO, sorry. I really dont think ariana deserves to fall in love again. All she deserves is to get locked up for life, nothing else! I mean what poor person would deserve her as a girlfriend? We know how they would end up.. dead! She cant change and she's completely crazy, it would be terrible if she fell in love again. But i guess it would make the story even more exciting so i'm guessing its gonna happen!

Posted by Rosie on April 19, 2009 at 07:29 AM EDT #

(KATE BRIAN I HOPE YOU READ THIS)..... Katie Brian I love your books!! One day I saw the book "Private" and read it, I thought it was amazing! Then I found out there is a next one, and I got really into the series!! I mean look at how many books you've made and just please don't stop!! Look at all your fans pleading for more books, just please don't end the series with "perfect mistake"!! I finish your books in about a couple of hours each time there is a new one!! Don't let down your fans!! ........................... I was also wondering, is it possible to make these series into a movie!! Because I know the book would be great on big screen and the readers would be very interested in finding out how the characters look!! :) It would be great! .............................. I think Ariana does deserve to find true love, somewhat because of what that girl Kaitlyn tricked her into!! ........ YOU ARE A GREATT WRITER! .... Don't stop :)<3 Love, Emma

Posted by Lagunabeach1754 on April 19, 2009 at 01:50 PM EDT #

I personally think Ariana deserves some guy because of what also happend with Thomas. Maybe in this book Ariana would be cheating with a cute guy who already has a really popular gf, but the gf is sometimes clueless! Then one day maybe the girl finds out and attempts to kill Ariana, and Ariana gets a taste of her own medicine!! And ends up, the guy breaks up with her and then maybe somewhere in the book put in a part where Sabine calls Ariana and asks for her help. And btw does Ariana know her sister is in jail?? :)<3

Posted by Lagunabeach1754 on April 19, 2009 at 01:58 PM EDT #

YAYAY!! I cannot wait for Beautiful Disaster!! Privilege was AMAZING and I'm sure this will be just as awesome. Ariana should find love because it's like... She's so sweet yet... she kills people!! It's so twisted... I LOVE IT!! Haha, I think Ariana should find a good guy, just as long as she doesn't KILL HIM!!!! Oh and where is Sabine?? Because in Privilege when they have "Ariana's funeral", it has like Noelle and all of them come to it, but not Sabine and she's her sister!! I'm sure she's in some other mental institute, but... I'm just wondering!! The series' you write Kate are so awesome, especially because they ALWAYS have me guessing!!!!! :D xoxo Blaire

Posted by Blaire on April 19, 2009 at 02:05 PM EDT #

I think everyone can fall in love including Arianna, but i hope no one falls in love with her.

Posted by Annabella on April 19, 2009 at 02:35 PM EDT #

ookii.. I think im waiting for another private book? you're writing another right? i think i read that in a blog... id love to hear more about that, if you are i guess... thanks!!

Posted by AnnaJane on April 19, 2009 at 03:21 PM EDT #

heey kate! i do think Ariana should fall in love but that she should be conscious of how she really feels. I also think that Ariana should be with the boy from privelege but thats just me. Ariana should date a boy who is a daredevil and is caring and sweet. And even if she did do all those things i dont think someone shouldnt deserve love because of a few little mishaps. Cant wait for the book! -- Emilee <3

Posted by Emilee on April 19, 2009 at 04:47 PM EDT #

Heyy!!! Kate the private novels are the best books i have EVER read my fav. was paradise lost i read it like 5000 times!! i really think ariana needs another chance at love i think she should get someone totally hot lol everyone makes mistakes though and she just made a really big one everyone needs second chances. Can't wait for you next book to come out!! Peace:)

Posted by Brianna on April 19, 2009 at 06:37 PM EDT #

I love your books. I think that Hudson would be good for Ariana but have her tell him the truth...also please tell me Reed lives and she stays with Upton. He was awesome. lol and if you already had other plans for Upton then at least Josh. Also I wanted to tell you I'm writing a book to and I'm on Chapter Ten. It's called Mommy's Little Angel and its about a Mom who killed her daughter and lives in a mental institution. What you are reading is the life she is imagining where she was never caught. Then at the end it opens up to the fact that she was in a mental institution the entire time. I would post the first chapter or something but I doubt you would want to read it.

Posted by readingangel95 on April 19, 2009 at 09:48 PM EDT #

THERE HAS TO BE A MOVIE/SERIES!!! PLEASEEE i will make a petition!!!! if u need one contact me at melitrosky@hotmail.com i could get as many people to sign as u want!!! but this HAS to happen!!! i love ur book s! and Ariana should find love!! she has a new look so hopefully she'll change as a person too! cant wait for Suspicion!!!!!! ttyl -melissa

Posted by melissa on April 20, 2009 at 01:37 AM EDT #

I don't even think that second when Ariana is going to fall in love yet again once more; by after killing three people even her ex-boyfriend in a private prequel, who's now break out of pyscho ward changing somebody else life that way and now the next thing in this next book that she'll kill once more to be back on the top again. Even a guy will found out of Ariana's secret past that she's hidding on, i really like to see that and the whole people in boarding school will find out about this mystery girl. I like to see this when Ariana get's caught up with lies for real. hahaha!

Posted by Jane on April 20, 2009 at 10:36 AM EDT #

I think that Ariana deserve to find somebody. However, I think she'll fall for the bad guy... again. It sucks to be stuck in that position, but in the end I think she'll find somebody who will truly make her happy. Just because she's done something bad, doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a cruel ending. I do hope that she finds Katylen. That girl needs a taste of her own medicene.

Posted by CC on April 20, 2009 at 11:12 AM EDT #

Okay, so i'm pretty sure you've probably heard this a million, gabillion times before- but is there any possible way you could post the first chapter of suspicion now? I was having a terrible day today and trying to send you telepathic messages to post it, but alas, we're not mentally in sync. Darn. Anyways, if you could put it up like REALLY soon (possibly even right now!) that would be sweet. :)

Posted by Maureen on April 20, 2009 at 02:25 PM EDT #

Hi Kate, I think Ariana does should be happy. I think she did love Thomas she just has jealousy and anger issues that she needs to work out.Yeah she deserves to be in love and have someone who truely loves her back..Plus, she needs love in her life. I think she needs a good person who'll help her with her issues or atleast have a good boyfriend or love interest that feels the same she feels about him... Can't wait to read your next book laytah.. :-).

Posted by Brittanny on April 20, 2009 at 03:35 PM EDT #

Hey, I was wondering if by any chance you can post the 1st chapter of 'Suspicion'... laytah

um... well maybe she deserves to fall in love i mean everybody should but come on she is crazy! if she falls in love with someone there is a chance of her killing the poor guy i mean if they had a huge fight or somenthing. and she killed briana who was going to have a happy life with the boy she loved.. i think it would de incredibly unfair if she got to have a happy ending.

Hey Kate! My friend recommended i read the private series last summer and I just have to say they are amazing books! I love mysteries and this is one I can relate to a little more than most I've read because Reed is a teenager like me. Anyway I just wanted to say your books are fantastic!! Keep writing them please!!!

Posted by Mc on April 20, 2009 at 04:39 PM EDT #

Personally I think everyone deserves to fall in love and besides it will add more drama to the series

Posted by Private on April 20, 2009 at 06:15 PM EDT #

i think ariana, should be with someone, but someone equally as crazy as she is. I think ariana really needs to get a taste of her own medicine, and that shouldn't go down well.

Posted by Melissa on April 20, 2009 at 07:08 PM EDT #

hey its me i kinda have a idea you should have a guy crazy like her and she falls in love with him but he trys to kiss her he he he haha ha love Marissa your numero uno fan

Posted by Marissa on April 20, 2009 at 08:23 PM EDT #

I AM SO EXCITED FOR BEUTIFUL DIASTER!! ahah!! and I do not think Ariana deserves love... I know it is like mean, but true she did so many horrible things!! she faked her own death!! I really want to see what happens with Ariana and Sabine like together and see if that goes anytwhere! so excited :D

Posted by Katie on April 20, 2009 at 09:57 PM EDT #

I think Ariana deserves love, I can't explain why because I don't belive it's ok to kill anyone but when I read the book I found myself wanting everything to work out and be ok for her I know it sounds crazy but I'm glad she's getting what she wants.

Posted by Cece on April 21, 2009 at 05:02 AM EDT #

i am sooooo excited for the release of BEAUTIFUL DIASTER!!! i think it will be interesting to see what happens now that Ariana has a chance to start over clean. I really hope she falls in love again, even though she has done some terrible things i think deep down (VERYY DEEP DOWN) she is good person who is lost and confused. I want to see her with some one who is the opposite of Thomas, Kinda Geeky, really understanding... you know. CANT WAIT :) What ever you write I KNOW it will be awesome. Keep writing please. :)

Posted by Aloise on April 21, 2009 at 05:02 AM EDT #

i love your books very much i have read the whole private series and I am dieing to know what happens to reed after the latest book. and what about josh and ivy. its killing me not to know..is reed dead. what will upton do. does he really love her or is he using her...i really need to know you should really right me back ....mannymeskripsky@yahoo.com...is my email...please right back...i hate waiting but i will if its for something as good as your books.

Posted by Marie F. Skripsky on April 21, 2009 at 10:16 AM EDT #

hiaa kate. i absolutly love ur books. there amazing, but im only on the 4th book so i cnt wait to read the next ones. im one of kimmys friends, shes the one who got me into ur books. so i think u should say thank u too her, lol. <3 SGM

Posted by SGM on April 21, 2009 at 11:03 AM EDT #

i think Ariana deserves love because she's been through alot with loosing the one she loves- thomas- At Ariana's new school, i think she should fall in love with a good looking boy with a terrible past. kind of like hers. someone who has alot of dark secrets and throughout the book, Ariana has to decide if he's really "the one" or a guy who has a history of secrecy. Because we all know a secret can't be a secret for long. lips can't be sealed forever.. XOXO Sarah

Posted by Sarah on April 21, 2009 at 01:17 PM EDT #

All of your books are amazing, but the Private series so far and Privilege as of now are so suspensful and keep me interested like. Your books keep me into them and I just finshed Privilege today. It was so good, and I can't wait to read Beautiful Disaster and see how Ariana really fits into her new school and her new life. I totally think she should fall in love. I know she loved Thomas but what happened to her is in her past and i think that she should once again be able to love again. I also think she should try and explain something to Hudson and why she wont even talk to him. I could tell in Privilege that she felt something with him and if it wasnt for her past life and actions maybe she could of been happy with him.

Posted by amber on April 21, 2009 at 05:52 PM EDT #

i totally think that Arriana should fall in love with Hudson. He seems so unlike Thomas which is exactly what she needs right now. He seems really nice and sweet and could totally help Arriana with her "problems" and stuff. If not, she should go out with like the most popular guy at Atherton- Pryce Hall.

Posted by kyla on April 21, 2009 at 07:00 PM EDT #

omg!!! your books are amazing I just finished all the private books in like 3 weeks!! and thats amazing because i barely read but i am hooked on these books!! i am soo excited for the next one because paradise lost has left me wondering!! I thought Reed was dead at first but when you said you are writing another I was like yaay!!! so im trying to figure out if it was poppy who pushed her in or my other thought is Ariana because I started reading last christmas and i see that shes dated daniel ryan so maybe thers a connection!? Idk but i cant wait for the next one and after i read last christmas i am definatly going to read the privilege series! I love your books and i love reed and i love all the suspense and mystery theere great how do you come up with those characters!! oo and not that you need to listen to me but in the next book i hope upton choses reed not poppy becuase she needs a boyfriend because josh dumped her and she still seems to be trying to get over it but cant and i feel bad for her so upton is like the most amazing guy ever!! well i love your books gtg! <3

Posted by Kathleen on April 21, 2009 at 08:04 PM EDT #

okay! so first off you are amazing haaha second i dont think that arianna should fall in love with the past she has, and if she does what would happen if the guy figured out what shes done!? so yeah but i love reed...i have no clue who pushed her off the boat but i am dying to know! i am also really disapointed in josh i thought he would be better than that and forgive reed because it is almost the exact same thing that happened with josh and cheyenne like what happened with reed and dash. he needs to forgive her. Or she needs to stay with upton! i love upton! anyways keep writing! much love <3

Posted by jenna on April 21, 2009 at 09:10 PM EDT #

a murder of 4 people does not deserve to fall in love with anyone other then her cell mate. ALSOO u dnt understand i hated paradise loss becauase no josh. like its really unhealthy i love him so much and i need to read about him so please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please? please?

Posted by RACHEL on April 21, 2009 at 10:31 PM EDT #

In my opinion, Thomas was so perfect for Ariana. They had so many things in common and shared a deep secrete that was shocking to me. Plus, I believe that everybody should be able to fall in love.

Posted by Tinsley on April 22, 2009 at 03:26 PM EDT #

Oh my gosh!!! i think that Ariana should fall in love with someone who is like; tall, dark brown hair, blue eyes, and a total disaster!!! someone who would totaly fit her perfectly!!!

Posted by Bliss on April 22, 2009 at 03:35 PM EDT #

Everyone deserves to fall in love...except ariana lol jk the funny thing is when i first started out reading these ariana was my fav character. I think ariana should fall in love with someone like thomas but put an interesting twist on it idk wat lol ur an amzing author i'm sure you'll think of something:-) <3 Megan

Posted by Megan Rox ur Sox on April 22, 2009 at 04:33 PM EDT #

love ur books!!...but i think everyone deserves 2nd chances so she should get to fall in love..i think it should be a cold hearted killing b**** just like her. or hudson would be ok too i guess cuz maybe he could make her better or he could give her a run for her money!!! write books faster please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Taylor on April 22, 2009 at 04:57 PM EDT #

Arianna should fall for someone with brown adorible shaggy hair, blue, eyes, and tall and cute. someone with a dark myterious past just like Arianna!!! haha that would be perfect considering what Ariannas done!!!!!! Anyway kate, i love your books!!!! NO JOKE! i mean seriously! i hope suspion is not the last book in the series!!!! that would not be good!!!! for any1 i think!!! lol

Posted by Emily on April 22, 2009 at 05:59 PM EDT #

QUESTION!! SOMEONE ANSWER..i just got done reading revelation..im confused..did reed die?? is there another book after this one i can read..i read the last 2 within a day!!

Posted by hannah on April 22, 2009 at 06:04 PM EDT #

Hannah, no Reed did not die in Revelation...the next book is called paradise lost...its really good. I LOVE the series...I have a question, is there a book after Paradise lost, if so, what is it called and when will it come out.

Of course she does she is so pretty and she was in love. Also its her family that made her the way she is (Her mother) I hope she finds a really hot guy to chase after and eventually get. I want to hear about how she reacts to the new school and all the people and if she changes at all.

Posted by Loveyall on April 22, 2009 at 09:10 PM EDT #

good question ; i'm interested for the second novel to privilege (but ima always gonna be a huge-"reed hollis" fan). but i do think ariana deserves love but i think it should be a guy like upton.. she needs to work for it- but at the same time.. it might be a thomas re-play =/ hmmmm. curious to see where you take this book =]

Posted by Cantrell on April 22, 2009 at 09:40 PM EDT #

I'm afraid I'm a little confused. I have been reading the Private Series since I can remember, but since the Privilege/Last Christmas books -- which I have yet to read -- have been published, I've seemed to slip behind. Where does Privilege/Last Christmas fall with the Private Books? Is the the Last Christmas before Reed Brennan? And are the Privilege Books after the Private Series? As for your question pertaining to Ariana, I'll have to say, for a good story, yes I think she should fall for a guy -- not necessarily in love though. I think it should be someone who will help her forget trouble with her family and things of the past. But I would think, even for someone as unstable as Ariana, she wouldn't accept the fact (because of past regrets) that she's falling. For your last question, no. I strongly think that Ariana does not deserve to fall in love. ~L

Posted by Laura on April 22, 2009 at 09:56 PM EDT #

Ariana should focus more in getting her "life" back together. Romance and boyfriends are just a one way ticket to dramaville. She doesnt deserve another boyfriend. But i guess everyone deserves another chance. But she seriously needs a shrink. ASAP. She needs to build her life back up and to stop "fixing" her problems by killing them. And a great guy for her is someone who really KNOWS her, who can read her like a book, and yet not judge her. Someone who has control over her and help her get over her killing rampage. As for Paradis Lost, I have this weird feeling that it's Sawyer that's stalking her. I dont know why. I think it's a "gut feeling". I mean, Sawyer is a blonde right? the stalker in the picture that Tiff gave Reed was blonde. It didnt really specify if the stalker was a girl. just because someone's a stalker doesnt mean he or she is the one that pushed Reed. Maybe the stalker and the "pusher" are different. And as for the Hudson and Reed meeting, I think that's a great twist in the book if it ever happens. I think Kate should do it.

Posted by O_o on April 23, 2009 at 12:15 AM EDT #

Ariana is just like me: a psycho. But with the love thing, she needs Hudson. She actually belongs to Hudson anyway.

Posted by Brittany Parthenopaeus on April 23, 2009 at 10:34 AM EDT #

everyone deserves love, but I think her past will always come back to haunt her. Whether she meant what she did in a cold blooded way or was just desperately in love, it was wrong and maybe she just isn't meant to be loved by a guy. I also wanted to say i love the private series, but I feel so behind! Living in the UK can truly suck sometimes, Legacy hasn't even come out here yet! I love updating on the site but get so afraid of spoilers. Is there ANYTHING that can be done about the super slow selling of the Private Series in the UK, I want them so bad, and i want them now! Thank you ! xoxo

Posted by Katy on April 23, 2009 at 02:29 PM EDT #

I think that the only way that it would be fair for Ariana to fall in love again is if she stopped killing. I mean, seriously? She is NUTS! But, she is a great character. I just don't think that she really deserves it. And if she DID get a boyfriend, I don't think that he shoud be rich. It would be a wonderful little twist. Probably torture for her though.

Posted by Tabitha F. on April 23, 2009 at 02:53 PM EDT #

Well, quite honestly I don't think that Ariana deserves to have another boyfriend. She's killed like 4 people. Ariana should be in jail, not living this great life and acting like she's above the law.

Posted by Kinsey on April 23, 2009 at 03:35 PM EDT #

Hey Kate. First of all I want to start off by saying how much I love and adore your books'. Your writing is purely amazing. And also to ask you to PLEASE post the first chapter of Sucpision (sp?), like you did with Paradise Lost. I mean I can't beleive that cliff-hanger! :( Anyway, I do think Ariana deserves love. And his name is Hudsun, well Ashley to be exact. You have to find a loop hole something that will allow him in to all the secrets. You cannot leave us haniging like Reed and Josh. Which frankly I think do belong together. Two halves of the whole. So anyway yes to Reed and Josh and yes to Adriana and Hudsun.

Posted by Ellie XxX on April 23, 2009 at 03:42 PM EDT #

I think that You Should Make A Book To The Series Where Reed Is Dreaming Or, They Were Wrong About Thomas' Death, OR! Maybe! They All Faked The Death!!!!!!! And That's Why His Parents Or Brother Didn't Care That He Died!!!!!!!!! or I also think that josh and reed should get back together. Or at least tell us what happened to Upton, and what the heck happened to Reed??????? did Poppy push her off because she was jealous of Reed? Or was it Noelle, because it said that the necklace was ripped off her neck and wasn't that Noelle's???? I am really confused.... i know about your book coming out in September so at least ill get 2 find out soon. but, this waiting is KiLlInG mE!! im a huge fan, and your books have inspired me to write my own! im on Chapter 5, plus the prologue. its going really well! - Reedinrealife7895

Posted by Reedinrealife7895 on April 23, 2009 at 05:14 PM EDT #

Heyyy i love the private seriess! and last christmas, that was really cool seeing things from Arianas view! until she killed three people... which is why i dont think that she deserves love again. maybe for a bit then of course their'd be consequences for her but w.e. i just mostly want to know what happened to Reed! paradise lost was a good book but i was kinda disappointed how it was only about the people on vacation instead of anyone else like Josh or Ivy cuz i wanna no if Ivys okay too. alsoo i totally think that the person who pushed Reed off that boat could have been Mrs. Ryan cause she obv. hated Reed and Noelle pushing her off and taking the necklace makes sense too but thatd suck if it was her cause their best friends..maybe. sooooo i hope that the next private book will be out sooon!!!!!!!! bye(:

Posted by Danielle on April 23, 2009 at 05:38 PM EDT #

Ariana doesn't deserve to fall in love. She already got the chance, and then screwed it up by killing him! And Rachel thinks that she deosn't deserve to live. But she says she's jk

Posted by Julia & Rachel on April 23, 2009 at 05:42 PM EDT #

This would be added on to my other comment a few minutes ago but i had an idea for Arianas love life in the next book. since i dont think that she deserves love ever again she should find somone who was worth loving and that she falls for. but then since she is a criminal as her consequence the specific guy doesnt like her the way that Ariana wants him too, unlike how Thomas loved her. but the guy will end up becoming her close friend and she could explain things to him about her past. but all the while during their friendship she wants to make it more and his undesire to start a relationship with her makes her very very upset...her future actions in this situation could be determined by the author of course b/c your idea would be much better than mine & im totally giving that idea to you. & thats it bye(:

Posted by Danielle on April 23, 2009 at 05:53 PM EDT #

okay. so im a HUGE private fan. i read them soo many times that i kinda try to live my life based on the series.i am absolutely in love with josh hollis but i still love thomas. ive been reading private since day one. and i cannot wait till suspicion. if thats the last book in the series, i will die!! seriously! i want to know if any of u have noticed that in invitation only, untouchable, and confessions, that josh's eyes were green. and in the rest of the books, they were blue. sometimes his eyes were blue in untouchable. but it kinda bothers me. xD kate brian is the bessstt author EVER!! take that stephanie meyer! LOL i would like to know if there is a private show or movie being made. but i have looked at some vids on youtube that ppl show who they think would fit each person's role in Private.

Posted by Samantha on April 23, 2009 at 07:01 PM EDT #

hi kate/ kieran, I love your books. Your suchh a great author. I love your books you always suprise me. revelation is the best book I have ever read no lie. I think Ariana doesnt deserve a boyfriend its not like she was portrayed as a total physco she IS a total physco. I mean you dont kill someone on accident you clearly know what you are doing and obviously there is something wrong with her or she wouldnt be in a nuthouse. and its not just that she killed thomas its that she tried to kill reed too. she is a cold blooded killer. And according to the doctor she needs to stay there for life so obviosly the girl needs some serious help. It must run in the family because look at Sabine another family physco so. thats my opinion. sorry to people who think shes innocent and deserves a life.

and also to my last comment. i was like one of the first people to buy private i was at the book store and saw the display however many years ago.

ida there is a book after paridise lost it comes out in setember 1

Posted by Marissa on April 23, 2009 at 10:07 PM EDT #

I commented on either the previous entry or the one before it, about how I feel regarding Ariana. You saw it, right? To build on that, I think all things considering, one really can't blame her for being a tiny bit crazy. I for one know what panic attacks are like...course, I haven't killed anyone, but I've acted on impulses that I would never follow if I had the chance to think straight...anyway, I think she deserves anything good she can get. She's suffered more than enough, and contrary to what all the Private characters think, she's not cold, cruel, or completely crazy. She's just very unhappy. And I think allowances should be made. By the way, Dr. Meloni should be tortured, slowly and painfully killed, and then sent to hell. And maybe revived a few times just so he can be tortured more.

Posted by Unnamed on April 24, 2009 at 05:12 AM EDT #

after paradise lost if you havent already you can read last christmas and then privlege and the next one that comes out in may. other then that private #10 hits bookstores on September 2 i think?! its called suspicion you can amazon it.

After what Arianna did I don't think she deserves a boyfriend. She kills all the inocent people like Briana Leigh. Arianna has anger issues. lol! Arianna has been through a lot so I hope at her new school as Briana Leigh she'll have a great time. My answer is that she doesn't deserve a boyfriend after all she did. Oh and by the way in Paradise Lost did Reed die???

Personally i dont think that Arianna Osgood deserves to get any men ha, but we all know she will with her stunning looks. She still is a physcotic masochistic chick, she killed numerous people. Poor Thomas :/ i cannot wait for the next book after Paradise Lost!

Posted by Jordan on April 25, 2009 at 02:22 AM EDT #

Posted by Noelle Lange on April 25, 2009 at 02:46 PM EDT #

heyy kate brain, i think that ariana does deserve love. i can get why she did what she did but thats still no excuse. i think she should find love and stick to him not fool around or anything i also think the boy shouldent be a player cause that might mess up everything. if you've read privelge u no that she still loves thomas and she doesnt want to hurt anyone just cause she got to close to them. anyway i still think she deserves love.

Posted by sara on April 25, 2009 at 03:18 PM EDT #

heyyy kate, i love the private series i am a HUGEEE fan i can't wait for suspicion OMGGG i cant believe someone is trying to kill reed again. im just wondering how come you don't talk about reed's family alot? im also wonderring are you gonna put the first chapter of suspicion on the site cause i remember that you put the first chapter of paradise lost. if you are gonna put the 1st chapter of suspicion plzzz do it soonnn :):) i cant wait for suspicion thxxxx ---sara

Posted by sara on April 25, 2009 at 03:27 PM EDT #

Kate,I do not think that Ariana should fall in love. If she does, it should be with someone who, like anouther girl said, is a murderer but nobody knows about it! That way she would get a taste of her own medicine. She is a crazy person. She doesn't deserve anything good!

Posted by Annelise on April 25, 2009 at 03:42 PM EDT #

No way ariana cant get a bf she is too crazy for that. I agree that the private series should be continued because I love these books and want Reed to get together with Josh!

Posted by Rebecca on April 25, 2009 at 04:37 PM EDT #

Hello, I've been reading your books since my friend showed me them and ever since I've bought every single one of them. I'm inlove with Thomas and Josh, I can't get enough of them and I also hate Arianna, she should die someday. I was really upset when Thomas died :l He deserved to live. Anyways, I love how you make everything a puzzle and you blame everyone, but you always know the first one is who did it. I can't get enough of them, please never stop (: But I truely would love to see Reed happy one day, but with Josh they belong togther <3 Upton is to perfect, and nobody likes perfect. Well, that my opition, but thanks for reading it anyways! KEEP WRITTING AMAZING BOOKS!(:

Posted by Francesca on April 25, 2009 at 04:42 PM EDT #

Hey I love your books and I think it would be super cool to make Private in to a movie! So we can see what they look like and bring it to life! Also, I hope that Ivy is ok and I think Josh should realize that the perfect girl for him is Reed. I think Upton has a little catch to him that isn't good, and he seems like a player and no girl likes players. But I love your books!!! They are my favorites! <3 Bella Burton =]

Posted by Bella on April 25, 2009 at 09:49 PM EDT #

Hey, I really can't wait for you're next book!! You're auch an Amazing writer! For everyone else, I think it was Taylor who tried to kill Reed. You saw how much she wanted Upton, but when Reed came, it was like she even matter! Taylor worked every hard to get her body just right for Upton. Reed kind of took over..so I believe it's Taylor who is trying to kill Reed.

hey kate, i've loved your private series since i first read them about 2 years ago. i've re-read all of them a mill times, memorizing practically word for word. and i did read privileged but private will always be my all time favorite. && in paradise lost i missed josh soo muchh! thomas will always be my favorite, but josh is deff a great character as well && i hope you can bring josh back because upton sounds intriguing, but idt he's the one for reed. i hope josh is still a big part in the books; anyways you're uhmazing and thank you for writing the most intriguing books ever, ily. p.s.- if there is any way to still write about thomas, pleasee do so, i dont know how you could but ughh i would be phenomenal. ---> i am completely in love with that fictional character. when you wrote last christams i was in total paradise<33 baha. i love your writing kate. tytyty!

Posted by michelle on April 26, 2009 at 01:08 AM EDT #

Even though what I´m abot to write doesn´t have anything to do with your question, I was hoping you might answer a few of mine. Well first of all I finished paradise lost like two weeks ago because I was torturing myself by thinking that I should read the book slowly so by the I was finished with it, I wouldn´t had to wait that long for the next one. STUPID IDEA. Now the questions. How could you possible do by givig us that ending in paradise lost? COME ON, Kate. We are your fans, don´t you like us even a little and you make us wait all that time between book it´s frustrating.oh before i forget, I was wondering if you could post the first chapter of beutiful disaster and maybe the new private one i´m sorry i don´t know the name? i know is a lot to ask, can´t wait foe beutiful disaster. take care.

Kate-hopefully you can answer some of my questions! (: 1) Can you possibly post the first chapter of Suspicion SOON? September is too far from here. 2)Can Josh and Reed get back together? They're soulmates. Upton, sure, he's intriguing, but no. He's not "the one". 3)Noelle's mysterious hipbone scar! 4)Also, is Suspicion the last book? I HOPE NOT. 5)Does it take place at Easton? 6) GIVE US FANS SOME HINTS ON IT PLEASE. HAHAHA. :) 7) Everyone deserves to fall in love. However, Ariana needs to stop...killing.

Posted by Spencer on April 26, 2009 at 12:31 PM EDT #

Also, I love the Private books, but Paradise Lost wasn't your best. Sorry, it's just my opinion. If you read back to Reed's first time at Easton, or times with Billings, or even Josh, Reed was so...innocent, you know? In PL, she was a little superficial and egotistical. And Cheyenne and Ivy took Josh from her, why is she taking Upton from Poppy? She knows how it feels, so what's with the reverse personality? No offense, but Reed's become a little "I'm Reed Brennan and I know what I want" kind of girl. Don't get me wrong, I loved PL, just don't think Reed is REED anymore. I just think Reed has become less sensitive towards others, and kind of a "one-man" girl.

Posted by Spencer on April 26, 2009 at 12:35 PM EDT #

SORRY FOR WRITING SO MUCH. But yeah cont. Josh Hollis kind of changed Reed, just hopefully they back together. Without Josh, Reed seems kind of lost...with the whole "the new Reed" would or wouldn't do that thing. With Josh, I guess Reed will find her inner personality, and who she really is. PLEASE DON'T STOP SUSPICION! xoxo, Spencer.

Posted by Spencer on April 26, 2009 at 12:39 PM EDT #

Oh yeah! Would you also say how many books are going to be in the "Private" Series? And of course if you posted the first few chapters of "Suspicion" that would be awesomeee!! I know a whole bunch of people who really super-duperly want to read it ASAP!!! Thanks so much!!

Posted by Reader on April 26, 2009 at 01:08 PM EDT #

it was TAYLOR. who pushed Reed? Easy Taylor. i know i know Taylor? but think about it she was like best friends with Poppy and do anything for her. and the person in the background of the pic Tiffany gave Reed had blonde hair......Taylor! its so obvious its her and even Shelby had said "its always the quiet ones"

Posted by Sheila on April 26, 2009 at 01:48 PM EDT #

I think Ariana deserves to be happy. People make mistakes and she should find somebody who can help her understand who she really is. I think it would be funny if she dated someone from Easton. Of course, they wouldn't know it was her since she is Brianna Leigh now. Thats just a thought. But get rid of Hudson he is annoying.

Posted by Libby on April 26, 2009 at 02:33 PM EDT #

Heyyy Kate 1st i wana say thanks 4 righting Private i love them i got my friend on them 2 and she really dont read that much anyways Ariana should have a boyriend and she shouldnt the reason i say she should because everyone needs true love and the reason she shouldnt because what if she kills him that wouldnt be good.U should make a movie 4 all of ur books well this is me saying bye xoxo Tealia

Posted by Tealia on April 26, 2009 at 02:44 PM EDT #

i really do think that Ariana should have someone to love again.Why? I think this because she would be able to experience real REAL love and not just a fling.....When I read Last Christmas nd Confessions it sounded as if she only killed Thomas so he wouldnt snitch. Well that's selfishness not love. Besides she needs some healin after all that happened with her mom and sabine and thomas and everything...

Posted by Mimie on April 26, 2009 at 02:58 PM EDT #

I really don't think Ariana deserves a boyfriend! I mean really she killed how many people now? I think 5 or so and that is a lot! She should be back in that mental institute! I will admit though since she escaped it has been a lot more interesting.

Posted by Meredith on April 27, 2009 at 12:35 AM EDT #

well i think Hudson is PERFECT for Ariana...and ariana is my fave character in the Private novels (but frankly speaking, i quite hate Reed...no offence here). :) YAY for ariana :P

Posted by Ryanne on April 27, 2009 at 04:23 AM EDT #

Ariana shouldn't have any more love. But nobody can control their emotions. And it would make the series better. SHe will be conflicted with being both herself and Briana-Leigh. And still... WHAT ABOUT NOELLE'S SCAR??? Will it ever be mentioned? I highly doubt it was from a surgery when she was younger.

Posted by Stephanie on April 27, 2009 at 06:23 AM EDT #

Hello!How can anyone forget about Hudson! He's adorable, cute, and obviously in love with "Emma." I'm really mad at Ariana for killing Thomas, but everyone deserves love.

Posted by Lilian on April 27, 2009 at 05:32 PM EDT #

When are you gonna write the next book in the Privat Series!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?! I REALLY want it 2 come out!

Posted by Mikala on April 27, 2009 at 07:39 PM EDT #

God! I can't wait for either book to come out! I actually read Privilage first! lol I didn't know about Private then... I think a good idea would be that Ariana and another boy would go out and Hudson would track Ariana down and find her with the other boy. It would also be neat if Noelle, Kiran or Taylor met up with Ari by accident! Mikala, Suspicion will come out on September 2nd.

Posted by May on April 27, 2009 at 09:26 PM EDT #

OMG! i TOTALLY think that HUDSON should meet her in fron of easton and tell her that he wants to go to the same school that Adriana is, nd express his love for her. i can already imagine how great of a scene that would be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i most definatly think that she should stay with HUDSON or someone with a close personality to his cuse he is so sweet and romantic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway i am opposingly very excited for the new set of boys that we get to fantisice over. hope that there all nice and sweet;) Kate you are an amazing writer and when the series is over i hope that we get to here many side series to get a look at everyones life. like their could be a series on how Sabine and Adriana lived a how she came up with that plan to kill Reed. that would be AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by katie on April 27, 2009 at 10:55 PM EDT #

I think that Ariana should end up with a phsyco that follows her everywhere and taps her phone calls and has pictures of her everywhere and stuff. He could find out her secret, and become a killer for her. Then they could get together a secret Billings/gang like society that kills anyone that gets in their way.

Posted by Morgan on April 28, 2009 at 06:30 AM EDT #

I think Ariana should find love again. But with a guy just as messed up as she is. Make him like the most outrageous character you've ever created :-)

Posted by Paige on April 28, 2009 at 03:22 PM EDT #

hey kate. just wanted to say i love ur books and i want the next book in the private series soon please. and about upton, i like him dont get me wrong. he seems like a decent guy, but i really want josh and reed to get back together pleas please please:). anyway i hope to read the priviledged series soon myb-days in a couple of days and i want that for my birthday:) ttyl

I think Ariana should get a guy that can help her change her ways. I think she's been through enough and she should get a chance for a normal life after so long.

Posted by Ella on April 28, 2009 at 08:41 PM EDT #

After reading the books, I think that Ariana derserves someone very special. Even though she might not deserve a guy in her life, everyone needs one so... I think that Ariana should date someone who is pretty different from any other guy she has dated before. As an example, she dated Thomas, who was a bad boy and that other guy who was very preppy. So if I were Ariana, I would want to date a guy who is a bad boy, but who will be real sweet to you no matter what, even if his friends are around... Then he should be kinda nerdy, but is still a bit popular with your crowd...and you know how she is mysterious (she killed people) I think that the guy should also have a mysterious background like her because it would make her think a lot more about him, which might eventually cause her to like him. So pretty much I think that Ariana should date someone who can take care of her, is kinda nerdy, can be a bad boy at times, is pretty mysterious, oh and also has a HOT bod...for example, like pretty much every guy who is in the Private Series, or to be more specific, he has to be like 10 billion times hotter than Upton Giles!!!! :) hehe... Well.... xoxo Rachel

Posted by Rachel on April 29, 2009 at 02:35 AM EDT #

Hey Kate!! I just wanted to say I love Private! I couldn't tear myself away from it when I started reading it. I think I read 3 books in one day. I claimed that day as lazy Sunday! haha But I was curious and I wasn't sure if anyone has asked about this. Do you think that Private will be made into a TV series or a movie? I think if it were to be that it would be a BIG hit. I'm rooting more for the TV series than the movie. Only because it would be best to leave then fans wanting more each week. Kind of what you do when you finish one of you books. But Good Luck with all that you do!

Posted by Kimberly on April 29, 2009 at 10:39 AM EDT #

Okay, I think that Ariana does deserve love- everyone does. Even though she killed Thomas and has ruined a lot of peoples lives, all people deserve happiness. And I think a fresh start for Ariana would be the best idea :) LOVE YOUR BOOKS SOO MUCH! <3

Posted by Christee on April 29, 2009 at 05:21 PM EDT #

I think Ariana deserves love but i love the pivate series and I want there to be more books on Reed!!!

Posted by Tinsley on April 29, 2009 at 05:29 PM EDT #

hey kate!! i just finished privilege!!! its amazing!!!! i love it!! I HATE KAITLYNN SOOO MUCH SHE MAKES ME MAD!!!!!!

Posted by melissa on April 29, 2009 at 05:56 PM EDT #

It's kind of "out there"...but okay, would it be weird if when Hudson is at Easton, he meets Reed...and they like become friends. Then later, Hudson texts Briana Leigh(Ariana) and he's like "you're not Easton. You weren't even enrolled." And like they walk about their relationships. And Ariana's like "The crew captain and I are together." And Hudson's like "I met this girl named Reed. Shes so sweet blah blah blah" and ariana would get pissed off...but i think thatd be cool and for suspicion, it says it sets up a mystery even Reed has never faced. =O

Posted by Vicky on April 29, 2009 at 06:17 PM EDT #

umm...first of i am still in complete shock at what she did to thomas! he sounds adorable.but i do think that that what he did was wrong by breaking his promise.arianna should get a second chance because she deserves to be truly happy with someone...i think hudson shoud be with her =].he sounds really sweet.i can't believe what happened to briana leigh and what kaitlynn did! its just so exciting..lol=].can't wait till,the other privlege series and private seris books come out.i hope you especially keep writing them both FOREVER!they are amazing.p.s what happens to Teo??can't wait to find that out to!

Posted by tory on April 29, 2009 at 11:33 PM EDT #

Hi Kate:) I'm 14 years old (well, almost, anyway), and I LOOOOVE your Private series, but I love Privilege maybe even a little MORE! Well, Ariana is kind of psycho, (i guess) and I find her pitiful and maybe I even admire her a LITTLE (itsy-bitsy bit) for her gutsy-ness(You know, for the breaking out of mental jail part). Yes, it is true that she killed Thomas, and that was wrong, but honestly, Thomas was acting like such a jerk to her. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve it at all. It wasn't like she didn't love Thomas. But it just wasn't fair to her. Okay, maybe I'm a little biased here, but here's my opinion. Ariana at least deserves a chance to fall in love with a guy who truly loves her. After all, she's been through a lot. Yes, she was wrong to kill Kaitlyn and Briana, but still, everyone deserves a second chance. She regretted killing Thomas, didn't she? Despite killing him, her love for him didn't actually die down, not completely. Oh, and by the way, I totally loved the way you portrayed Noelle in the Private series. She was soooo cool. I just KNOW your stories are going to get better and better. -Jodi-

Posted by Jodi on April 30, 2009 at 05:26 AM EDT #

i hate adriana, so yeah yeah she's hate her life ruined. she did it for herself. she's a muderer, if she killed someone in YOUR family, you would no longer be sympathizing, i hate adriana, books following her 'life' are purely sad.

Posted by jen on April 30, 2009 at 06:06 AM EDT #

what is with everyone saying that she deserves love? people that KILL people that deserved love, do NOT in any way deserve love. nice going adriana, killed 3 people, but oh we think you deserve love! pathetic.

Posted by jen on April 30, 2009 at 06:07 AM EDT #

Her name is ariania. if ur gonna hate on her at least know her name. and did it ever occur to you that if she didn't have love the book series would suck. so its kind of a ,gotta have no matter how wrong, situation.

Posted by Paige on April 30, 2009 at 04:30 PM EDT #

hey, kate I know this might sound over the top, but i just wondering have you ever thought of faking thomas's death. He was my favourite character in all the private series he still is 8 books after death is still my favourite. When they found thomas's body in invitation only i actually cried :'( its was sooo sad. if you do decide to bring him back i think alot of your fans would be soo happy.. but i'm pretty sure your not gonna bring him back anyway.can't wait for suspicion!!!!!! ---sara

Posted by sara on April 30, 2009 at 04:43 PM EDT #

i think that you should let ariana fall in love. but. u should make her fall in love with someone dangerous who is hiding like her and have her uncover stuff about him. then she should still love him after she know what she did. but when he finds out, he doesnt accept her because he though she was his key to normal life.

Posted by Maria on April 30, 2009 at 04:44 PM EDT #

NO She does not deserve love. She tried it once and it did NOT work out. The first guy, she killed. The second guy, she ditched. So why bother with a third?

Posted by Clare on April 30, 2009 at 06:09 PM EDT #

Hey Kate , I love the Private series and I have just finished Paradise Lost , and usually on the back of the front cover you have a picture of the next book in the series and the date of when it will be in stores . But it isn't there . I was just wondering if you are going to be writing another book in the series ?considering how you ended Paradise Lost I'm really hoping you will continue with the series ! :) - Melissa

Posted by Melissa on April 30, 2009 at 06:16 PM EDT #

hey kate! me and all the girls at my school are obsessed with the Private series. Okay so we've all finished paradise lost and read Last Christmas and Privilege but will you please write another book after Paradise lost?! Dont get me wrong Privilge was really good but we're so anxious to know about what happens to Reed! Personally, we all really want her and Josh to get back together!! Just pleasee continue with the series!

Posted by sarah on April 30, 2009 at 08:19 PM EDT #

Who really pushed Reed off at the end of Paradise Lost? even few people are supspects for the time being wait until september for that and two more books will followed on. *Just after privilege is Beautful Disaster, then Perfect Mistake and untitle ones to happened on; what next is? don't got a clue for real.

Posted by josie on May 01, 2009 at 10:23 AM EDT #

I was just thinking about Privilege and now I have a question. Is Ariana going to end up going after Reed again? From the first book it seemed like she was over wanting Reed dead, but that doesnt seem right. So thats what I was wondering. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks *Danielle

Posted by Danielle on May 01, 2009 at 12:10 PM EDT #

OMG i seriously think it was josh who pushed reed off the edge because he was jealous of upton. AAAAH it makes sense. a- blonde hair. b- musky smell. and c- he is totally still in love with reed!

Posted by Bianca A on May 01, 2009 at 09:16 PM EDT #

I live in England, and I never thought I'd find anyone else who reads these books that I know. One chance meeting in the library later, I have a new best friend and I have made three other people in my class crazy for these books!!! I think Ariana should fall in love, but with someone who can help her stop being a psycho murderer. If she doesnt have soemone there for her she'll just go even more psycho and kill more people unnecessarily. PS. Paige, if you're going to berate people for misspelling a name, at least spell it correctly yourself. It is spelt Ariana, not Ariania.

Posted by girlwithapearl on May 02, 2009 at 06:32 AM EDT #

I don't understand... Why is everyone saying Ariana deserves a second chance? More like a 5th chance! Everyone seems to have forgotten that not only has she KILLED someone but 4 people. I don't think a person should ever even get a second chance for killing 1 person but 4 people?She is crazy! She will hurt other people, all she deserves is jail! ( i know i have already commented but the other comments just shocked me so much i had to say something else!) p.s i was wondering if we were going to get to read the first chapter of beautiful disaster soon, would it be possible to put it on the site for us please Kate?

Posted by Rosie on May 02, 2009 at 01:02 PM EDT #

Obviously Ariana cannot be with Hudson :( because he knows her as Emma. I think Ariana needs a guy who is into her but wont be clingy and who will be scared of confrontation so he wont break up with her (we don't want another thomas)

Posted by Kate-Anne on May 02, 2009 at 06:18 PM EDT #

I think somehow she should end up with Hudson! He's so cute! Almost like Josh, but different. I know it's totally impossible because of their history but a girl can dream...speaking of dreams. I wish Ariana would just stop killing the wrong people! I wish Kaitlynn would get what was coming to her, but I could sorta tell that Briana Leigh had been confessing how she felt it was her fault not that she really did and I thought Ariana should've figured that out before she killed her but it's not my book and I liked it just the same. Hopefully, Ariana won't kill anyone else and when the time comes her and Kaitlynn will have one heck of a catfight. Love your books sooo much! I can't wait for Beautiful Disaster or the next Private book! XoXo, K

Posted by Katy on May 02, 2009 at 06:58 PM EDT #

I think Upton and Reed should be together. Josh gave Reed up and I dont think he should get another chance. And Upton is supposed to love Reed and I think he should be given another chance.

Posted by Isabelle on May 03, 2009 at 12:53 AM EDT #

does anyone know when the summary for Suspicion will be available??? I really wan to at least have a hint on what might happen... I love these books... soooooo much

Posted by Charlotte M. on May 03, 2009 at 02:47 PM EDT #

hey kate! i havent read privilged yet but i think that if ariana is starting fresh in a new place and she isn't planning on falling in love with someone she can't have and isnt planning on killing anyone else then she deserves a nice guy, it might help her if shes being treated right, but thats just me:) anyway keep writing! <3anaP

Posted by anaP on May 03, 2009 at 03:16 PM EDT #

ok i know i commented before its on: April 26 as mimie I think i have a knew answer..wait I know I have a knew answer (:P) Before Ariana has love again she must get control over herself. She's a psycho wierdo. What if her boyfriend forgets the anniversary will she cut his parts off??? LOL Yes she blew it with Thomas AND Hudson to get where she is now. But, she should have love again.

Posted by Exceptionally Mimie on May 03, 2009 at 06:46 PM EDT #

Ariana isn't going to want to fall in love again. She should fight against it not thinking she is good enough but there will be somebody who loves her and won't give up on her :) Maybe? BTW I'm in the middle of AMBITION and I'm not done yet but I think you should right a book from Josh's perspective. I think it would make for an interesting story and I'm dieing to know what he is thinking going out with Ivy! Just a suggestion from a fan :)

Posted by Shauna :) on May 03, 2009 at 07:46 PM EDT #

Hey, I really think you should bring Thomas back in the next book Paradise Lost was good but bring Thomas back Reed and him seemed to have such a strong connection and he was killed off instantly so if you could in the next book make a twist on how he didnt really die or sumthing!

Hi Kate Huge fan. How about you have Ariana fall in love with this boy named Drew whose family is good friends with the Osgoods

Posted by Siobhan on May 04, 2009 at 03:56 PM EDT #

Hi Kate! First of all, I just wanted to say how much I looooooveeee your PRIVATE books! I've also read Privilege and Last Christmas, and they are great too. I think it's really interesting that you wrote those 2 books from Ariana's perspective, since she's obviously the villain in the PRIVATE books. However...I think she is nuts! I understand that she loved Thomas with all her heart, but for god's sake she killed 4 people! Thomas, Sergei, Melissa, and that one gal in Privilege, (can't remember her name at the moment..) so I think she needs help. At times Ariana appears normal, but then she flips out at people and kills them. 2 of the 4 she killed were for no reason! She doesn't deserve love, she should be locked up; who knows when she'll kill someone else?! I think Ariana only cares about herself-she didn't think for once about the people she was hurting by killing those people.

Posted by Emma on May 04, 2009 at 06:59 PM EDT #

I also think it's interesting how similar Ariana and Reed are-I'm not sure if this is intentional, but their mom's are both bipolar & try to commit suicide using drugs, and they both confided this in Thomas alone. Then again, if it's not intentional, that would be my only complaint about the books-they have a lot of repeated elements, like Ari and Reeds mothers' and also all the adults having affairs (Noelle's parents, Blake Pearson + that one lady,and Isobel and Mr. Holmes). But other than that, I am HOOKED on your books! I cannot wait for Suspicion and Beautiful Disaster.

Posted by Emma on May 04, 2009 at 07:00 PM EDT #

Other random thoughts about the books: I love how you choose the most sneaky person to be the psychopath! I would have never in a million years guessed that Sabine killed Cheyenne and hated Reed, or that she was Ariana's sister! My jaw literally dropped when I read that. I always thought Ariana was kind of creepy, always staring at Reed in the earlier PRIVATE books, but I never thought she was behind it all. Also, Reed should be with Josh! I'm re-reading the series again, and I totally forgot that Josh was on all those meds to regulate his emotions. Nevertheless, they are perfect for each other! And Reed obviously loves him a lot. It was SO sweet how he saved her life by pushing Sabine. At the same time, I like that he is sticking by Ivy Slade, (as much as I dislike her)through her tough time. Sorry this post is so long, but I had a lot to say! Again, I can't wait for your new books! Keep Writing! :]

Posted by Emma on May 04, 2009 at 07:01 PM EDT #

OKay i totally think that Ariana should get with Hudson because it seems like she won't pop and kill him. And Can't wait to find all the problems that she could run into, of course she has a huge chance of killing. I really like Reed's point of view better, i find it easier to connect with her. Please post the first chapter of suspision and beatiful disaster.

Posted by Karrina on May 04, 2009 at 10:19 PM EDT #

I think the Arianna already needs to stop killing people...she needs to find someone who can control her...Hudson maybe? And i CAN NOT wait for Suspicion to come out!!!! I don't even know what i'm going to do with myself until then. Who pushed Reed off the boat?! Good thing Arianna is still up to some sneaky plans that can keep me occupied until then. :) i love your books! <3

Posted by Stacey on May 05, 2009 at 03:14 PM EDT #

So...i'm pretty sure between now and September 8th i'm going to die! why is the next Private book coming out so far away?! :( in the end, it's all worth the wait, but i need to know who pushed Reed off the boat! Was it Upton or Poppy or Mrs. Ryans? I really really don't want it to be Upton. He's sounded like he really does love Reed and everyone else seemed to think that he really does like her...But Mrs. Ryans on the other hand, she's got something seriously wrong with her, she just does not like Reed.. i think she did it.

I was just wanting to make a comment about Josh Hollis, i think him and Reed need to get back together because it doesn't seem like he is as happy with Ivy as he was with Reed. And Reed certainly isn't as happy without him. Yeah okay Ivy may be happy with him, but don't both people need to be happy in a relationship? If Ivy and Josh aren't both happy together then Ivy will eventually find someone who she makes happy and makes her happy as it should be. Jusy sayin.

Ok seriously, im goimg to die waiting for suspision!!!! i absoutly CAN NOT wait until then!! What are we supose to do until then!!! Well i no that beautiful Diseaster is coming out but stillllllll lol. i LOVE the private series!!!!! I have friends that i see sometimes and we could be on a totally different topic and spend the rest of the time talking about your books!!!! Because they're sooooooo good! every single one of them i read i couldnt put it down until i was done reading them!!!! hhaha anyway i just wanted to say that :) and i think Arianna should hook up with a guy that can really relate to her situation with him knowing her past. someone with dark shaggy hair and Bright blue eyes, and someone with a great personality!!

I think she deserves to find love....just don't let her kill him

Posted by Tara <3 on May 05, 2009 at 06:01 PM EDT #

i dont think she deserves love because she has taken love from so many ppl for example she took thomas from reed and that chick from her dad. but what im really on here for is paradise lost i think that a guy pushed her cuz she is like the musky scent nd some guys are musky nd i hope it was upton but i guess it could have been but i really think that josh needs to kick ivy to the curb nd just take reed back i liked upton but he is in no comparison to JOSH nd also when is the next private book comin out??

Nvm! Saw where she posted that! WOOHOO AGAIN!!!!!

Posted by Noelle Fan on May 06, 2009 at 07:44 PM EDT #

LOL! I KNOW EHH? i seen it on twitter and all her other posts on twitter and one of them said theres MAJOR cool future plans for the series....SWEET!

Posted by Alyn? on May 06, 2009 at 10:08 PM EDT #

I think that she should fall in love eventually but not right away. Plus it should be full of drama just like Reeds (okay maybe he shouldn't die...) but it should kinda make her pay. What goes around comes around, karma kinda thing. I am a huge fan i just finished Inner Cicle and i am getting the next one from my friend tomorrw! I cant wait to start the new series cause i hear its just as ah-mazing as the private series...but i am still gonna miss Reed and the whole Easton gang( or Eat Me according to Scott)=]! Well like i said she shold have a dramtic time with her new love...maybe she could like lie to him about her past and he finds out and gets super P.O. cause like he was a childhood friend of Thomas!!! lol

So is there going to be a book after paradise lost. What is going to happen to Reed, the novels can't just end yet.

Posted by Nia on May 08, 2009 at 12:31 AM EDT #

hey, I absolutely love your series! I'm not gonna lie though, it would be quite interesting to see what would happen between Gage and Reed if they got together. But that's just me. Also I guess Ariana should have another shot at love, but at the same time I'm mad at her for killing Thomas. So she shouldn't get a new life.

i was so lost after reading privilege. there was so much in there that i had no idea what you were talking about. but then i bought last christmas and it became clear to me that i should have read it first and i had to laugh at myself. but im done reading last christmas so now im gonna re-read privilege and hopefully everything will fit into place. lol im excited about beautiful disaster, i've already pre-ordered it. oh i also agree with the girl from EDMONTON ALBERTA, CANADA(you should post the first chapter of suspicion!) and the girl 3 comments above the girl from canada!!!! i like the way she thinks!!!!!

Posted by carson on May 15, 2009 at 05:55 PM EDT #

I think that she should be able to fall in love again. but like it should maybe be like she finds this guy that's annoying to her at first but then she falls in love with him. and then like later she'll like totally spill her guts about what happened with Thomas and with the Billings Girls and how she feels about them. whatever you do though i'm sure will be great. you've already made like so many amazing books already. i just finished Revelation and freaked out at the ending. what book do i go to next to find out what happens to Josh and Reed?? help!

Posted by Ashley on May 18, 2009 at 03:07 PM EDT #

well, i have to say of course, i LOVE every single NOVEL you have written.. i have all of them and i am trying so hard to believe that suspicion comes out in September because that's clearly insane and i don't think most of these girls that commented can withstand such an extended, excruciating, and agonizing delay.

You must post a chapter. It's simple and there are no excuses. We must grip the sides of our laptops and grind our eyes into the realm of our LCD screens to read the preview chapter of Suspicion. But anyway, about the question: I believe that it'd be cool, and you should know yourself that it'd be completely mind-manipulating and incredulously amazing, if Hudson came to Easton Academy and met Reed.

Posted by nnenna on May 23, 2009 at 10:51 PM EDT #

If Ariana ever were to discover this, she'd be incredulously jealous of her and immediately without a second of a breath want Hudson back. And also, if Ariana were to meet this guy in which they would undeniably fall in love with each other to find out that he was just as crazy as her. For example, he's killed some people, done drugs, or was planning on killing her. Get the example? Yeah...

Posted by nnenna on May 23, 2009 at 10:51 PM EDT #

Okay, I think Reed should end up with Sawyer. Cause unlike Josh, he wont be a total jerk all the time! I actually hate Josh, for hooking up with Ivy not even a week after he left Reed. Who, just like Josh, was drugged. But yet he cant forgive her, but when he was drugged she HAD to forgive him! Upton, is a total player, and I hate him. That JERK running after Poppy.... Okay, so im okay with Josh staying with Ivy. I mean she was SHOT, do you want to abandon your girlfriend who just got shot, by a girl who was tryin to kill ur EX-girlfriend? I just wish everything wasnt so... akward between Reed and Josh. Oh! could you post the first few chapters on your blog, just for a sneek peek?

Well, I think she dosent deserve love, but fine what ever make someone love her. (Even though I hate her....)
