IM SO EXCITED BECAUSE IM TRYING TO GET INTO ACTING :) and i love the private series i cant pick my favorite moments there were to many!!! HOW COULD YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE?!?!?!?!?! lol jk but i seriously cant choose for that exact reason. :)

Posted by Kia on December 04, 2008 at 04:39 PM EST #

I loved the end of revelation, ive read it like 5000 times. your an amazing writer

Posted by lorie on December 04, 2008 at 05:24 PM EST #

my favorite part was when reed said i love you to josh for the first time, it made him so happy.

Posted by shannon on December 04, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST #

i dont have a favorite....they all are amazing every book... i liked the part where Dash and Noelle see Reed on the date and he is like all embaressed i thought it was sooo cute!!!!!!!!! idk why it just was lol

Posted by Amanda on December 04, 2008 at 05:30 PM EST #

OMG!!!!!!! just for the record i am so excited for privaleged. but ok so my favorite overal private moment would have been in Invitation only at the end when reed falls asleep on josh!!! i just wanted to melt right then and there cause it was so cute. But this year my favorit moment was at the end of revalations!!! it was such a cliff and noelle was herself, mean and cold hearted to sabine, i just loved it

Posted by CB on December 04, 2008 at 05:31 PM EST #

I love like all the books! if i had to pick it was when Dash and Noelle see Reed on her date and Dash is like so embaressed lol idk why i liked it but i do

Posted by Amanda on December 04, 2008 at 05:32 PM EST #

ok so just for the record i am so excited for privalaged to come out !!!!!!!! but my favorit overall private moment came in invitation only when reed feel asleep on josh on the train, i thought that was just the cutest moment. but my favorit moment this year was at the end of revalations. Between the cliff hanger and everything else that happened i just could not get enough

Posted by CB on December 04, 2008 at 05:34 PM EST #

omg! my favorite twist was when noelle came back because she's one of my favorite characters. my least favorite one was when josh finds reed with dash at the legacy because i love josh to death and i hate when he's sad. I SERIOUSLY HOPE HE DOESNT DIE! MARIAH&JOSH<3

Posted by mariah on December 04, 2008 at 05:34 PM EST #

anyway. this is what i think what happened at the end of revelation. i think josh jumped in front of reed, knocked her down, and she had a concussion or something. but it would have had to hit someone that was behind reed. ehmagod its sucks that someone has to die though :(

Posted by mariah on December 04, 2008 at 05:38 PM EST #

WOW..... I remember buying PRIVATE back in june/o6 and thinking how amazing the plot was!!!!(and that was even before reading it) I've always been intrigued by boarding schools and i'm a sucker for a good mystery so it was a PERFECT fit for me! 2 1/2 years,eight books, a prequel and a spinofff later and here we are!!!! I look back at the laughter,tears,and pure joy I've had reading these books and i can truly say that you are the best author ever!!!! You give the books a certain spark that no one else can. I've been an avid reader forever and i don't think i will ever find a better series than Private, EVER!!! Now to answer your question, I think my favourite twist this year was the end of Revelation. I remember having a dream (after reading legacy) that Arianas younger sister was sending the notes to get revenge. I had no idea that it would actually happen nor did i know the details of it(who it would be) but it was pretty cool!

Posted by rebecca on December 04, 2008 at 05:44 PM EST #

omg well i know some of my favortie moments in legacy were deffintily in the middle when her and josh break up i thought that the most happened when they were at the legacy and reed also learns more about ivy so i liked that part in ambition i had to say my favorite part was the whole thing but if i had to pick one it would be the end because u start to see ivy and why she is likeshe is and why she hates billings and last i have to say that my favorite part of revelation was like the last 30 pages omg and last christmas had to be then end when arrina says i wonder if anyone will notice if she dissappears i love these books

Posted by gilmoregirl3232 on December 04, 2008 at 06:04 PM EST #

i cannot wait untill lost paradise, the best part was when josh and reed are on the soccer field and they get caught.

Posted by katie on December 04, 2008 at 06:11 PM EST #

Oh, wow. So many great Private moments, so hard to choose! I think my favorite overall change in this year's books have been really getting to know Reed better. We have seen new sides of her character, and I think there is a little bit of Reed we can all relate to...and a little bit of inspiration for us everytime she overcomes something. Also, I loved Last Christmas. It was great getting some more insight into Ariana's mind, and realizing she isn't all psycho, all the time. There is a girl under there. I cannot wait for Priveledge, so we can hear some more from Ariana. My favorite Private moment, would probably have to be when Reed makes the toast at the Christmas party and apologizes to Noelle about Dash and the Legacy. It has been an incredible Private year, and I cannot wait to see what is in store for 2009! Love you, Kate: Thanks for such an amazing story.

Posted by Lyndsey on December 04, 2008 at 06:12 PM EST #

My fav. moment was when Reed ditched Josh to go to New York with Noelle and when he got back she apologized and all he said was "I missed you." TEAM HOLLIS BABY!

Posted by Marisa on December 04, 2008 at 06:36 PM EST #

my favorite twist will always be thomas's death. it kind of set the tone for the entire series and even though i loved thomas, i never would have guessed that he would end up dead and those complete surprises are one of the reasons i love this series so much =]

Posted by Amanda on December 04, 2008 at 06:45 PM EST #

I LOVE THE PART WHEN JOSH AND REED ARE WALKING TO CHYEENES DEATH THING (WHEN THEY THROW THE ASHES OUT)AND SHE THOUGHT SHE SAW CHYEENE AND JOSH TOOK CARE OF HER AND SAID ILL MAKE GAGE FIND SOMEONE ELSE ALL I CARE ABOUT IS YOU. I LOVED THAT PART I THINK FROM THE WHOLE ENTIRE SERIES.

Posted by Sarah on December 04, 2008 at 06:50 PM EST #

TEAM HOLISS LOVE HIM!!!!!!! SARAH <3 JOSH

Posted by SARAH on December 04, 2008 at 06:52 PM EST #

my favorite moment so far is when reed tells josh for the first time that she loves him and josh kept saying i love you, i love you over and over again

Posted by hannah on December 04, 2008 at 07:02 PM EST #

My favorite twist was when Arianna was the one who killed Thomas OMG!!!

Posted by Gossip Girl on December 04, 2008 at 07:20 PM EST #

My favorite part was the end of Revelation, it was so shocking!! Is there really another book called Paradise Lost coming out in Reeds perspective? Please say yes! I just cannot see Reed ending like that! How sad would that be??? Those Osgoods are extremely messed up! Your an awesome writer and i want to be a writer too when I grow up, I love to write, and your one of my favorites!

Posted by Kaitlyn <3 on December 04, 2008 at 07:36 PM EST #

my favorite part was the ending of revelation, it was amazing and really shocking! josh is definately my favorite character, then noelle. are you going to continue the reed series? or is that really over, considering the ending to revelation...

Posted by Kaitlyn on December 04, 2008 at 07:37 PM EST #

paradise lost is comming out in february right ?

Posted by katie on December 04, 2008 at 07:49 PM EST #

I loved the twist end of Revelation!! Even though it left us all hanging not knowing what is gonna happen!!!

Posted by Lacey on December 04, 2008 at 08:02 PM EST #

OMG this year was the best, favorite part was deffinitly when reed saw josh in the crowd at the end of revelation and then noelle backed her up again. im so happy everyhting is beggining to turn around for reed again !

Posted by carolina on December 04, 2008 at 08:51 PM EST #

Hi Kate! its awesome that books have been coming out so fast! i think my favorite moment was probally when Reed found the picture of Thomas tied up, it was so chilling!

Posted by karina on December 04, 2008 at 09:21 PM EST #

Heyy Kate! my fave part is when Noelle tells Reed that she sees her as a sister. It made me see Noelle softer side that was soo sweeet! Basically all the Noelle parts were my faviroute shes my fave chracter FOR SURE =D keep writting Kate!

Posted by Evelyn Pham on December 04, 2008 at 09:30 PM EST #

Hi kate! my faviroute part was when Noelle calls Reed her sister AWW i got to see a softer side of Noelle! shes my fav chracter also the ending of revelation SHOCKER always knew Sabine was a creeper... KEEP THEM COMMING KATE!!!

Posted by Rachel on December 04, 2008 at 09:37 PM EST #

ya paradise lost is coming out in february :] my favorite part is probably when idk reed starts liking josh they are adorable lol. i miss thomas :[

Posted by Rachel on December 04, 2008 at 09:37 PM EST #

i think hte best so far was the end of Revalation. I didn't except it to be who it was. I almost screamed with suprise. Reed was completely blind sighted! i think the endding rocks, but I want to read Paradise Lost twice as much now

Posted by Lola Ann on December 04, 2008 at 10:01 PM EST #

My favorite twist in private this year was when Ivy told Reed that she still had access to the files. I was so angry when Noelle was being so terrible to Reed and took the Disk. I was VERY happy that Reed broke it though! Very clever girl.

Posted by Mattie on December 04, 2008 at 10:17 PM EST #

here are some of my favorite moments. when josh helped reed get through chyeene's furneral, his true care for her was so touching. when reed refused to give up the sfuff she got from billings, i love that she has the power to stand up for herself. i liked how reed made a toast to nicole, it showed she had guts and wanted to make everything ok between them. when reed got shot and josh was like"omg reed no!!!" which means he still loves her i hope they get back together because they belong together!

Posted by Sara on December 04, 2008 at 10:19 PM EST #

yea number 23 haha jk ok gurl happy 2008 nd i love ur books cant wait for 2009 for paradise lost my fav parts are when reed tells josh she luvs him when she catches josh nd cheyenne nd for sure when josh pushes reed outta the way in revelation those r def my fav parts nd i cant wait for more booksjacob kraemer for josh hollis he is so cute

Posted by ambreal on December 04, 2008 at 10:21 PM EST #

here are some of my favorite moments. when josh helped reed get through chyeene's furneral, his true care for her was so touching. when reed refused to give up the sfuff she got from billings, i love that she has the power to stand up for herself. when reed said i love u for the first time and then josh kept saying it over and over. when sabine held the gun to reed and josh was like omg reed no! which means he still loves her i hope they get back together because they belong together!

Posted by Sara on December 04, 2008 at 10:24 PM EST #

omg this year was AMAZING with all the books ! i cant wait for the rest comming out soon ! favorite moment was the moment reed first saw thomas, she seemed so new and happy !

Posted by sabine on December 04, 2008 at 10:25 PM EST #

OMG!*!*!*!*! i am like in love private. my favorite moment was when josh and reed were stuck at easton 4 thanxsgiving and they in his room pianting, although it was sad when she cried as he tried to kiss her. my all time fav is in legacy when their on their way to the legacy and reed stops to change in the woods, adn josh is "what are you doing" and reeds all "im changing" and he says "i dont want anyone to see you"i all most cried he is so sweet! also the part when josh's name is cleared and she knows she loves him and it never was thomas! but i knew deep down that reed had to drugged because she would never cheat on josh, and thats how i knew it wasn't cheyenne who drugged josh either. tell you the truth i thought it was ivy. then it was obvious it wasn't her toward the end. but s***** was so not my mind. you so have to make another one i dont want reed to die. but i dont if its her or josh or even noelle, shoot candace might of jumped in their. *:)* love ya ****jazzy****

Posted by jazmin on December 04, 2008 at 11:50 PM EST #

oh my gosh, the last private book was the best but i never expected sabine to be the killer! are you going to right another private book relating to what happened to Reed?? PLEASE WRITE ONE! PLEASE!!!! I WANT MORE!

Posted by Mackenzie on December 05, 2008 at 01:34 AM EST #

my favorite moments are anytime that josh and reed are together andddd when i started to piece together that sabine was crazy and too good to be true i just loved when knew for sure it was her! i also like how reed reluctantly teamed up with ivy... "friends with the enemy":). And i liked wen noelle started to warm up to reed again. it reallly was the best book your books are so good and pleaseee write another private novel i think we all are just waiting to find out what happened to read! thanks!

Posted by kacy on December 05, 2008 at 02:42 AM EST #

OMJ!I love when josh and reed meet up after he's released and they have a big kiss i just love it!GO JOSH HOLLIS!WOOH.>3.xxxxx

Posted by shauna h. on December 05, 2008 at 08:46 AM EST #

i love every book, especially revelation's end :) but i have a question, which person is Reed on the covers of the books? Is she the one in orange sweater on the cover of confessions? or is she the girl centered on Private's cover. Anyone know?

Posted by Lauren on December 05, 2008 at 10:50 AM EST #

hi, omg! i loved private this year. well i only discovered it this year but i have read all of them now! my fav moment out of everything in the Private series must be... erm: when Reed started going out with josh! omg i was so happy! please you better not stop the private books coming! thats all my frineds talk about, ok some of them need to get a lyf but anyway its cool! cant wait till next year and a whole bundle of private books! keep writing! thanks ellie...x

Posted by Ellie on December 05, 2008 at 01:00 PM EST #

i dont think that anyone dies in the book... if you think about it how many people have to die because of reed? 1. Thomas 2.Cheyenne 3. noelle or josh or someother person? i really really dont think that another person would die i just think that they'll get hurt... and also its impossible for the main Character to die... SHES THE MAIN CHARACTER if she did it(the series) would have ended with Revelation and there wouldnt be Paradise Lost lol :]

Posted by Amanda on December 05, 2008 at 04:20 PM EST #

Kacy: she is writing another private book called paradise lost!!!!!!! :] lol it comes out in februaury Amanda: ya i dont think that anyone will die in the last book because she is writting another book so that obviously mean reed lives and if reed did get shot she survived cause it said she blacked out i just REALLY hope josh didnt get hurt haahha

Posted by Rachel on December 05, 2008 at 05:45 PM EST #

I LOVED when Dash and Reed Hooked up!! Then when they were at the pre-party 2 Kiran's party, and Sabine went all psycho. That was sick!! And now I can't wait 4 the next book!!

Posted by Lola on December 05, 2008 at 06:34 PM EST #

omg i have three fdavorite out of all the books:).first i love when reed was going to the legacy for the first time with whit and her and josh started talking on the train, second i love when she said i love you to josh for the fist time and he said it like 20 to her after that was so funny ...josh is was sweet:) lol... and lastly i love Love LOVE the last chapter of revelation it was amazing and suspenceful and sooooooo well writen!!!! love u and your books:)

Posted by christina on December 05, 2008 at 06:35 PM EST #

i just have to say ur books are a-m-a-z-i-n-g! anyway i have too many fav moments so here are a few. i loved the part where reed and josh were outside when the police were there for cheyenne's death and all the sudden reed started freaking out and josh helped her calm down and just held her in his arms. another was when reed fell asleep on josh on the train. i thought that was so cute, reed and josh are the perfect couple they need to get back together.

Posted by delia on December 05, 2008 at 06:41 PM EST #

omg i have to say ur books are a-m-a-z-i-n-g! so anyway i have to many fav moments so here are a few. when josh and reed were outside with the police and reed started freaking out and couldn't breathe and josh was like breathe reed breathe and then once she took a breath she started crying and josh just held her in his arms saying everything is gonna be ok. when reed fell asleep on josh on the train they are so cute together. i hope they will get back together soon because they are the perfect couple

Posted by delia on December 05, 2008 at 06:50 PM EST #

my favorite part was defiantly the end of revelation when we find out who killed Cheyenne and who's stalking Reed and Ivy. THE BEST! i also loved it when Reed tells Josh she loves him. they're perfect for each other so please don't kill either of them off.

Posted by Maja on December 05, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST #

OMG i can't belive i'm saying this but why did reed and josh break up????? I CAN'T BELIVE I FORGOT!!!!! btw i have the book lol

Posted by Tychell on December 05, 2008 at 07:24 PM EST #

My altimate favorite moment is when Reed was at the Dance and Thomas kissed her =) i thought it was so cute!

Posted by Megan on December 05, 2008 at 08:00 PM EST #

Omg! btw I finally got my best friend to read this series, but it took forever cuz she really hates series but after half way through the first book she was begging me to give her the entire series =)

Posted by Megan on December 05, 2008 at 08:02 PM EST #

i absolutely adored finding out Sabine was Cheyenne's murderer! it was such an unexpected plot twist, and i often am able to predict books in a snap. it was really refreshing to really be surprised by the novel! also, i have read last christmas, and i must say that coming from an antagonist's prospective, i honestly have never been more sympathetic with "bad." i truthfully hope one day i will be able to master a gifted talent such as yours. you continue to be my favorite author. i read and reread each new novel as soon as it is released. please don't ever stop writing them, it's the perfect mix of teenage life with mystery. two things that grately relate to just about any individual

Posted by Sam on December 05, 2008 at 08:25 PM EST #

i'd just like to say that I LOVE YOU KATE BRIAN!! i've tried to read all the other books that Alloy Entertainment has referred, and none of them can compare to private!! So. for my answer to the question i just absolutley love all the scenes where josh and reed are having little make-out sessions. i know this is a bit weird, but well i just wish i can find a guy out there for me that will treat me the same! I also really really excited for lost paradise and i want to see what happens to reed!!!! =D LOVE YOU KATE!! AND THANKS!!

Posted by Jessica Wong on December 05, 2008 at 11:48 PM EST #

Posted by rikki on December 06, 2008 at 12:12 AM EST #

My favorite twist was when Reed found out Sabine was Ariana's sister.I couldnt belive it she seemed so nice.

Posted by Rikki on December 06, 2008 at 12:15 AM EST #

I liked the whole Noelle coming back in LEGACY. and the reed/dash scandal. I like the whole Reed getting caught via video message at the fund-raiser in Ambition. I LOVED EVERY TWIST AND TURN IN REVELATION! It kept me on my toes and thirsty for more. The worse part is............the mega cliff-hanger

Posted by Maxxie on December 06, 2008 at 01:18 AM EST #

My favorite twist was when Noelle came back to Easton after Cheyenne dies. Another one of my favorites was the end of revalation. It was soo shocking!!

Posted by Nina on December 06, 2008 at 01:47 AM EST #

hey kate i was just wondering if there is going to be a 9th private book to your series. one of my friends said that she found a picture of the new cover but you can never be sure. sooo... please dont leave me hanging. i feel stranded! :) in a good way

Posted by alex on December 06, 2008 at 01:49 AM EST #

Posted by skybarnes on December 06, 2008 at 11:39 AM EST #

so hard to chose. all of the twists were huge. i have to say i think that the biggest one though was the end of the 8th. but the biggest twists of the series i have to say were the end of the 4th and end of the 8th. niether of them were very happy but they were huge cliff hangers. i just cant wait for Paradise Lost to come out in February and Privledge on the 30th.

a private movie would be cool if it was just a movie that showed up in theaters that no one ever heard of, not a really awesome series. i think it would be a bad idea because it would ruin everyone's immage of the charaters and the setting and all that stuff i have looked at the charaters people have said and they just don't look like i see the charaters. to be truthful there is not going to be any perfect person to play each role because everyone sees the people differently.

Posted by delia k on December 06, 2008 at 01:49 PM EST #

OMG. DECEMBER 30TH. OMG ! ahhhH! i love love love love love love love your series ! private series was amazing, and when i read Last Christmas I honestly thought that ariana was watching me ! you are an amazing writing ! I cannot wait for december 30th to come, and for Privilaged to come out :D I cannot wait for february, and the next private series ! i hope that josh and reed are together ! and that JOSH is okai! and REED TOO ! :D

Posted by Dal on December 06, 2008 at 01:50 PM EST #

hey kate your books are amazing i am hooked but unfortunately i havent read ambition or revelation yet soooooooo i have a question for the other readers does revelation have a happy ending? thanks

Posted by zaynab on December 06, 2008 at 02:07 PM EST #

Omg I loved Revalation and Last Christmas...my fav moment was when Sabine admitted to putting the stuff in Read and Dash's drinks...it made me happy to know that there is a chance for them to get back together!! ~when r u planning on putting up the first chapter to Paradise Island??

Posted by Kelly on December 06, 2008 at 02:44 PM EST #

My fave part was when Noelle found out about what Reed did with Dash at the Legacy. Really exciting for me. I can't wait till Paradise Lost and Privelege. :]] Your the best author and will be forever. :D

Posted by Tara on December 06, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST #

Posted by Tara on December 06, 2008 at 03:29 PM EST #

Posted by Tara on December 06, 2008 at 03:32 PM EST #

my fave moment is in revelation when we find out that Sabine is bad i never trusted her!!!! but i love every book my fave girls are Noell, Kiran & Taylor. my fave guy is Gage. I love the private books

Posted by caity on December 06, 2008 at 04:50 PM EST #

My favorite moment was when at the end of Revelation, things started to turn up for reed when she went to the party, but then the whole Sabine thing happened.

Posted by paige on December 06, 2008 at 07:18 PM EST #

The ending to Revelation was SO GOOD! It's my favorite twist!! But I know that next year, Paradise Lost will reveal even bigger ones!!! I love you Kate!!

Posted by Lo on December 06, 2008 at 07:31 PM EST #

Revelation made me only want more!!!! What happened to Reed or Josh??? It is so hard just to imagine. It is the one moment that sticks in my head all the time! I have to know what happens!!! I can't wait!!!

Posted by Marissa on December 06, 2008 at 09:11 PM EST #

In a way I was happy and torn up at the end of Revelation when Reed is in the middle about to be shot by Sabine when you know Josh is jumping in to save her. I need to know what happens!!!

Posted by Marissa on December 06, 2008 at 09:19 PM EST #

ok so my favorite moments-omg there are so many!! i'd say i loved it when ivy and reed became friends b/c ivy just rocks!!!! i love josh too. and the last part of revelation was so so so so so good!!!! i loved it so much i like would never have expected it. like, never.... anyways i love private so much, though now i have to find stuff to read between now and february!!! i'm not sure i'll find anything as good though, if you have any ideas help me out! also in last christmas i loved ariana and thomas at first, but when she killed "them" i hated her. i liked thomas though, even if i didn't in the firsts books... ahhhh i love private soooo much. I wish Paradise Lost would come out in January instead of February!!!

Posted by Marie on December 06, 2008 at 10:08 PM EST #

The thing I love most about your books, is the mystery, the element of surprise. I can never put your books down, they're always so good and i never want to put the book down! I want to find out what happens next! I like how you ended Revelation, but I think you should keep that going in someone else's point of view. Telling what happened after and what did they thing of that. Cause how it ended with her and Noelle and Josh, it's killing me to know, and I absolutely hate not knowing! haha I know your busy with Privileged and everything else, but it's just a suggestion. You should also make a movie! It would be so good! It would be like the next mean girls but better! (0: I love your books!

Posted by Sarah on December 06, 2008 at 11:37 PM EST #

First off I want to say thank you so much for writing the private series! Me and my friend love it. The books are just so addicting you just don't want to put it down so thank you. I have a question though. At first I thought on the cover of the Private book that the girl in the middle was Reed, the girl with the blond pony tail is Ariana, the brunette with short, curly hair is Kiran, Noelle is the one in the middle in Untouchable, and Taylor is the girl in Confessions with the curly blond hair. Now I'm not sure if I'm right. So which character is who? Thanks again for writing these amazing books :)

Posted by Faith on December 07, 2008 at 12:03 AM EST #

I really enjoyed seeing Reed and Ivy become closer, since it marked a point of character development for the latter.

Posted by JC on December 07, 2008 at 12:40 AM EST #

Liked when Reed and Ivy became closer, since it introduced another side to the latter.

Posted by JC on December 07, 2008 at 12:43 AM EST #

OH MY GOD, my favorite part was the very ending of revelation .And the part where Reed finds out it was Sabine all along, I was so shocked. I loved all of the books. They were extremely good. Evey book was so amazing.I'm so curious to know if Reed dies or if Josh saves her or not. :)

Posted by katie molnar on December 07, 2008 at 01:54 AM EST #

My favorite part would have to be at the end of Revelation when Reed found out Sabine was Ariana's sister and that she had killed Cheyenne! :O The whole ending was so exciting i just wanted to read more!! I can't wait for Privilege or Paradise lost. Your books are amazing.... better than Twilight. I hope Reed and Josh end up together in the next Private book.:)

Posted by DR on December 07, 2008 at 12:14 PM EST #

why do we have to wait for the END of december for it? ahh its so sadddddd:(( also paradise lost comes out at the END of february!!! okay so before I say my favorite memories, I just have to say one thing. So I read the description for Paradise Lost on Borders website, and it said that now that the stalker has been found and everything theyre going on a cruise or something. is this like the end? will they all live happily ever after? and kate, if you think that you're gonna be allowed to end this series EVER, then you're wrong! you have no idea how much depression you will cause if there is an ending to this series! and no... i am not being a drama queen! so now onto the favorite memories. MY favorite memory is when Josh has just come out of jail in confessions and they're in the pews and stuff and it's like their reunion. it's so adorable! also i like it in inner circle when reed and josh see each other for the first time since the summer and josh is like "next summer let's not do this apart thing" like he has faith that they'll still be together next summer. but then stupid sabine had 2 skrew everything up. i have to say, I was completely blind sighted. but i do have one question: it said that sabine has dark brown hair and ariana has like white hair. How are they sisters? Are they half sisters? Okay basically I could write forever about the Private Series, and I hope that Kate can also! just one more things to say: KATE DONT EVER END THIS SERIES!

Posted by Caitlin on December 07, 2008 at 12:54 PM EST #

THERES SOO MANYYYY GOOOD PARTS!!! but my favrioute has got to be when Noelle called Reed her sister even after she knew reed flirted with dash! also revelation OMG I was soooo screeammming when i read that part!

Posted by Nicole on December 07, 2008 at 01:38 PM EST #

I have alot to say but this site wont let me. why were my comments sent to spam? they were completely legal.

Posted by hayley on December 07, 2008 at 02:15 PM EST #

my fav part is when sabine is lyk sayin all this crap bout reed nd noelle was lyk unlike u i dont have to pretend 2 b someones friend!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha love that part then of course when josh jumps in front of her nd that guy on the dolce nd gabbana commercial the 1 where he is getting undressed he kinda looks lyk he could play josh he was sexy aha!!!!!!!!!

Posted by jennie on December 07, 2008 at 02:42 PM EST #

when i found out sabine was behind evereything and that she was arianas sis and as crazy as her please dont let reed be dead and in feb. could it not be the last book of private please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by sarah on December 07, 2008 at 03:09 PM EST #

Posted by zaynab seedat on December 07, 2008 at 03:12 PM EST #

When Reed falls asleep on Josh: Invitation Only. When Reed tells Josh she loves him: Inner Circle. When Josh visits Reed even after all the chaos: Revelation.After Shy's funeral, when Josh is like "Reed,all I cared about is you. I'll kick Dash and Gage out." I'm like AWW And everybody- I'm pretty sure Reed and Josh don't die. First of all, Reed's the main character...second of all, I think Kate Brian probs knows Josh and Reed are a perfect couple ;)

Posted by Hannah on December 07, 2008 at 03:39 PM EST #

OMG!! i love the part where reed finds out that sabine is ariana's sis, and when reed falls asleep on josh on the train and reed feels him put a lock of her hair behind her ear. they r soooo good 2gether. just 1 question-does last christmas have a good ending like everyone says?

Posted by jessica on December 07, 2008 at 04:45 PM EST #

omg!! im gonna buy last xmas 2day!! hey- i have a Q. when will the next PRIVATE book come out??

Posted by lala on December 07, 2008 at 04:45 PM EST #

hey kate my fav part was when reed falls asleep on josh on the train and feels him put a lock of her hair behind her ear. They are perfect together!!!

Posted by jessica on December 07, 2008 at 04:49 PM EST #

Is Privilage going to be written in Reed's perspective?

Posted by Courtney Whitenack on December 07, 2008 at 04:55 PM EST #

priveledged is from arianans point of view not reeds.

Posted by sabine on December 07, 2008 at 06:09 PM EST #

she knew her and Ivy were'nt friends but she thought they were passed being enemy's but then she looks passed Ivy and sees Josh in the bed next to her and he does not look good he's hooked up to lots of machines and this is when Reed realizes that she should be in alot more pain than she's in... the whole thing comes back to her... she starts freaking out and everyone starts to tell her at once but Noelle silences them all with a single look becuz even when she looks terrible (which is great for most people) she still has the biggest presence in a room. then Noelle tells her everything and tells her that Josh is in a coma. she then ends with very tearful apology for everything. for kicking her out of billings. for not listening to her. for josh. for not being there when she needed her most

Posted by Emma on December 07, 2008 at 06:36 PM EST #

OMG u can not beat the end of revelation noelle owes reed the biggest apology ever... if she's alive... i bet she is... i wouldn't be surprised if Josh took the bullet for her. but i would cry if he dies so hopefully he took the bulet she fainted wakes up in the hospital with everyone around with noelle hold her hand she has big circles under her eyes becuz she hasnt slept for days and then she sees Ivy who looks way pissed and at first reed's very confused because she knew her and Ivy were'nt friends but she thought they were passed being enemy's but then she looks passed Ivy and sees Josh in the bed next to her and he does not look good he's hooked up to lots of machines and this is when Reed realizes that she should be in alot more pain than she's in... the whole thing comes back to her... she starts freaking out and everyone starts to tell her at once but Noelle silences them all with a single look becuz even when she looks terrible (which is great for most people) she still has the biggest presence in a room. then Noelle tells her everything and tells her that Josh is in a coma. she then ends with very tearful apology for everything. for kicking her out of billings. for not listening to her. for josh. for not being there when she needed her most

Posted by Emma on December 07, 2008 at 06:38 PM EST #

My fav was the totally twisted end of Revelation!!! Why is the cover of Paradise Lost different from the others? And when i say different , i mean different....

Posted by Alexis B.... on December 07, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST #

Is Revelation the last book in the Private series(not including Last Christmas) cause I really want to know if Reed dies?

Posted by Kate on December 07, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST #

ok first of all i canNOT wait till paradise lost and tht just shows tht reed did NOT die bc how can there be a private book w/o reed shes the main character so she has to be in it. . . and kate brian is seriously THE BEST AUTHOR EEEEEEEEEVER!!! no question bout it. and i seriously acnt wait for priveleged its not gnna be normal!!! im soooooo excited!!! i love private!!!

Posted by sandra on December 07, 2008 at 08:01 PM EST #

No there is another book called lost paradise that is comming out in february, it follows revelation.

Posted by sabine on December 07, 2008 at 08:15 PM EST #

I can't pick just one though i think my favorite is the end of revaltion. i couldn't believe it. I was so shocked but i think it there is bigger surprises to come. I think kate brian is an amzing writer and i hope she keeps writting about easton and evryone who goes there

Posted by i_married_books on December 07, 2008 at 09:06 PM EST #

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the private series. It is like so good!I am so addicted. My favourite parts are the parts of Josh and Reed together. They are like a match made in heaven. but my favourite was when Reed toasted to Noelle. i thought that was quite sweet and sarcastic at the same time. i cant wait for February next year! GO JOSH HOLLIS <3<3

Posted by tiffany on December 07, 2008 at 09:31 PM EST #

OMG!! I love all the books and i cant wait for the new private to come out in feb. but i wish it would be earlier!! oh and the spinoff looks good! im so addicted to em! my favorite part was when reed had to work with ivy at the end of revelations! : )

Posted by Callie on December 07, 2008 at 10:33 PM EST #

oh yeah dont kill reed because i want more private books plus the spinoffs! : ) the books are just to good to end now!

Posted by Callie on December 07, 2008 at 10:36 PM EST #

Definately when Reed finds out that Sabine is Ariana's sister!! Ahh I almost died!! haha. Love your books!!

Posted by Halle on December 08, 2008 at 12:27 AM EST #

to everyone whose comments are being rejected - mine also were getting "blacklisted" for no apparent reason but i figured out my problem. i have both safari and internet explorer and i had been using safari. so i just switched to internet explorer and it worked! hope that helps some of you.

Posted by Halle on December 08, 2008 at 12:30 AM EST #

The Reed/Ivy relationship would definitely be interesting to watch in the TV series.

Posted by JC on December 08, 2008 at 05:44 AM EST #

My favorite twist was when you found out it was Sabine!

Posted by Hannah on December 08, 2008 at 11:00 AM EST #

hi kate! love your books! my fav. moments: 1. Reed entering billings.-i love the description-i knwo im weird haha 2. Reed&Josh together-<33333 3. Noelle having Reeds back 4. The moment on the roof with Reed and Arianna 5. The sabine scandal. keep up the great work--much <3 -Erin

Posted by Erin on December 08, 2008 at 03:34 PM EST #

Omg the new books that came out this year were amazing!!So much action and mystery solving.I'd have to say my favorite part was when Sabine held the gun up to Reeds head and everyone found out she was as crazy as Arienna.Anyways are you going to continue the private series?well i hope u do!:)

Posted by Sammy on December 08, 2008 at 03:36 PM EST #

Is there a private series T.V? And if there isn't will one be coming out?

Posted by Sammy on December 08, 2008 at 03:37 PM EST #

i ? all the books! they r awesome! but i dont understand.. and the end of the last book wat was supposed 2 happen? did Reed die or did Josh save her? and wat happens 2 Sabine now? i just didnt get it... i think there needs 2 be another book...

Posted by Amanda S on December 08, 2008 at 06:49 PM EST #

i love all the books! lol they were awesome! but i dont really understand the ending of the last book... did Reed die? or did Josh save her? and wat happened to Sabine? i think there needs 2 be another book....

Posted by Amanda S on December 08, 2008 at 06:52 PM EST #

I love your writing, and this series. I absolutely hate that you had to kill Thomas Pearson, but I guess I understand. He sure as hell was my favorite character though; I like cannot stop reading any scene was involved in. Anyways, I really hope you continue with PRIVATE because I'm not really interested in Arianna's institutionalized life and want to know more about Reed. And Noelle. And the others. Thank you for providing so much fantastic entertainment!

Posted by Tanya on December 08, 2008 at 07:35 PM EST #

haha today my friend was asking me what happened to Thomas (she just started reading the series =) ) and i was soo good about it i said: "just keep reading." but then she asked about Josh, and I blurted out "yay they start dating!" and she was all like "Ahhahh! i got you" and I was like "oh darn." so anyway keep it up Kate amazing books. i never ever ever want them to end so dont okay? and by the way, I found out the Paradis Lost chapter will be posted the 30th, i think.

Posted by IDK on December 08, 2008 at 07:46 PM EST #

okay my fav parts are these: in legacy when reed and dash got "dirty"! i swear i could have KILLED reed! and when sabine held the gun to reeds head and josh jumped! thats true love! and i like it when u finally put the pieces together in revalation and u go OOOO That makes sense! and lastly i like it when ivy and reed become friends bc ivy under all that beauty and secrets is a good person! keep the books coming CANT WAIT TILL PARADISE LOST COUNT THE DAYS TILL IT COMES OUT!

Posted by andrea on December 08, 2008 at 08:22 PM EST #

OMG!! I loved your books! I especially liked Revelation because of the twist at the end! Keep writing! P.S I can't wait until Paradise Lost

Posted by abbey on December 08, 2008 at 08:32 PM EST #

I loved your books!! I especially liked Revelation and can't wait until the next book in the Private series!

Posted by abbey on December 08, 2008 at 08:34 PM EST #

My favorite moment was def the end of Revelation. You so didn't expect it AT ALL!! i also kind of liked when you write at the end of Last Christmas when Arianna sees Reed and Thomas, i kind of wish you would've expanded on it more.

Posted by Nikki` on December 08, 2008 at 11:27 PM EST #

wow picking a favorite would be difficult. i think every book has a curtain spark to it. Reed enters Billings, Thomas found dead, Cheyenne dead, Natasha with a girl ! Arinna kills Thomas, her ex lover. Reed becomes president but they think she had something to do with Cheyenne's death. Sabine is Arianna's sister and is stalking Reed and so much more. My friend got myself and about twenty girls into these books including a teacher. im so excited for PRIVLEDGE, PARADISE LOST & SUSPITION to come out ! your an amazing author !

Posted by Kenzi on December 09, 2008 at 04:31 PM EST #

i love the private series. it is so addicting...whats going to happen in paradise lost? what is it about beside Christmas in St. Barts

Posted by Richa on December 09, 2008 at 06:46 PM EST #

i love the private series! it is so addicting to read, what is going to happen in the next one, Paradise Lost, besides the fact that it is Christmas in St. Barts

Posted by xo love privatexo on December 09, 2008 at 06:49 PM EST #

My fav part was at the end of Revalation when Sabine fired the gun and Josh ran infront of Reed and then the last sentences were "and everything went black."

Posted by Nic on December 09, 2008 at 07:15 PM EST #

hi i love the private serise and my fave part was when sabine revealed that ariana was her sis!! i almost died! and i cant wait til the 9th book lost pardise in febuary i already orderd mine lol byebye! Kate

Posted by Kate on December 09, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST #

Is the book after Privilege called Beautiful Disaster? That's what I heard and I was curious.

Posted by Rebecca on December 10, 2008 at 10:51 AM EST #

So In Privilege, Is Ariana going to go after Reed? Just wondering.. Oh and I love Josh and Reed together and I DO NOT love Josh and Ivy together at all.

Posted by Danielle on December 10, 2008 at 11:34 AM EST #

My favorite part was the ending of Revelations when Reed says "And then, everything went black." There wasn't a page in the book that said "Paradise Lost, Coming in February, 2009" so I flipped out, thinking maybe the series was ending like that and we would have to read the Priveleged series to see what happened. I can't believe we have to wait another three months for Paradise Lost!

Posted by Kaitlin on December 10, 2008 at 05:00 PM EST #

I think that the overall best moment in the private series was when Reed was in Josh's tiny room painting the walls, then they ALMOST kissed! i was like what are you doing kiss her!

Posted by Mary on December 10, 2008 at 05:24 PM EST #

I liked the parts in legacy BEFORE reed and josh broke up

Posted by Alli on December 10, 2008 at 06:07 PM EST #

OMG! but my absoulte favorite moment was when josh said i love you to reed for the first time i was so happy i started to cry! it was just so sewwt and ugh god i hope they get back 2gether

Posted by Alli on December 10, 2008 at 06:09 PM EST #

EVERYTHING!! IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT THIS BOOK WILL BE MADE INTO A MOVIE?? I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT!

Posted by brittney on December 10, 2008 at 08:06 PM EST #

when is the next book in the series (and not privelage)coming out?!?!?!

Posted by Nicole on December 10, 2008 at 08:41 PM EST #

Ok so I love the end of Revelation. This series should go on forever I mean just keep making them they are so good! Ok so it is kind of hard choosing my favorite part but that would have to be when noelle wanted to talk to reed and then she said not now and josh said that he read her note and needed to talk. OMG! Favorite part. Ok so this is what I think happens. Josh pushes reed out of the way and she got knocked unconcious. Then the police come in arrest sabine. Then Josh says that he loves her and will fix everything. Make everything like the way it used to be. Then Noelle will give her a room back in billings. But she would have to be with Amberly unless they kick her out.

Posted by MacKenzie on December 10, 2008 at 08:46 PM EST #

I love private!! Its the best? yeah when is paradise lost coming out because i want to read it so badly!

Posted by erin on December 10, 2008 at 08:53 PM EST #

my favorite part was when reed finds all of the fake clues in ivy's room, because she is not too smart! i thought it was funny how she couldn't put it all together!

Posted by erin on December 10, 2008 at 08:56 PM EST #

Definitley loved the end of Revelation!! And that Reed and Ivy started to get along. And hopefully that Josh will get back with Reed. I really hope that you write more Private series than Privelige. I don't care about Ariana shes a physco. LoL.

Posted by Lacey on December 10, 2008 at 09:12 PM EST #

AHHH WHAT HAPPENS AFTER REVELATION!? IS THERE NO BOOK TO FOLLOW UP ON IT! JOSH BETTER NOT BE DEAD!

Posted by Jennifer on December 10, 2008 at 11:11 PM EST #

I KINDA AGREE I DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT ARIANNA I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT REED AND JOSH I HOPE NEITHER GOT SHOT I HOPE THEY ARE BOTH FINE AND MOSTLY I HOPE THAT THEY WILL GET BACK TOGETHER CAUSE JOSH IS THE SWEETEST BOY EVER I LOVE THE PRIVATE SERIES THEY ARE AMAZING PLEASE WRITE MORE ABOUT REED JOSH IVY NOELLE AND EVERYONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THANKS SO MUCH

Posted by mia hill on December 11, 2008 at 02:20 PM EST #

I love all the josh moments, and i have to admit, all of the moments reed and dash spent together (: i honestly think he started really likeing her back when she met thomas on the quad, dash was there right? yeah i think so. i also like when reed had all her 'noelle' moments, i want to see more of her becoming her own, independent, strong character I CAN WAIT FOR TROUBLE AT PARIDISE or whatever its called!!!! I wanna know what happeneds next, after shes shot!!! also i wanna see who also is the next person thats gonna try and kill her...i wanna see if i can tell before you out right say it... :P i hope she didnt die!!!! :O

Posted by Katrina on December 11, 2008 at 04:01 PM EST #

Okay so i love the private books so much is there another one after Revelation because i'm guessing josh got hit instead or Reed so i wanna know what is going to happen.. if anyone knows please write me and tell me my email is Aubro852212@yahoo.com thank you

Posted by Aubrey on December 11, 2008 at 04:28 PM EST #

i will absolutley have a coniption fit if josh died he is my fav character nd he def would be cutie i think i found a josh hollis he is the best boyfriend i have ever had nd i love him till the end!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Posted by jennie on December 11, 2008 at 07:28 PM EST #

josh is so cute

Posted by jennie on December 11, 2008 at 07:29 PM EST #

My favorite Private moment of all was when Reed and Josh get together for the first time!! I think they are so cute together!! I also like how Noelle and Josh were going to forgive Reed i Revelations even thought they didn't know she was drugged. I have a questions for you: Is it possible for Paradise Lost to come out any sooner??!!! I'm dying!!! I don't think Sabine killed Reed, I think she killed herself. If she shot Reed, Josh, or Noelle; that would be depressing.

Posted by Private Fanatic!! on December 11, 2008 at 09:40 PM EST #

My fave part in all of the Private series is probably in Inner Circle, when they are in the chapel and Josh says to Reed that he wants to kiss every inch of her body!!! I love Private!!!

Posted by Sylvia on December 11, 2008 at 09:57 PM EST #

ARE YOU WRITING ANOTHER BOOK?! YOU HAVE TOO! Revelation was such a cliff hanger! I need to know what happens! PLEASE! Revelation was REALLLLYYY good though. I loved it!

Posted by breakfastattiffany's on December 11, 2008 at 09:58 PM EST #

are you going to write another book? revelation was so good! i need to read what happens next! it was such a cliff hanger! don't leave us hanging kate! but i love your books. they're amazing.

Posted by ilovejosh. on December 11, 2008 at 09:59 PM EST #

i loved the part where reed and ivy get together to find the killer, then later when they go to look through Amberly's stuff and they find that picture of Sabine with Ariana. Now that was shocking! ^ ^ 0

Posted by Hayat on December 11, 2008 at 11:36 PM EST #

Here's my fave twists and turns moments: * Ariana suddenly confessesed on killing Thomas Pearson. She also manages to get Reed done on the roof but thank god Noelle arrived!! I was biting my nails in that scene! * Time when Cheyenne just died and the police were like stationed all over Easton Academy. It's like they can just suspect ANYONE and of course, if you're a student who studies in a school guarded w/ police, that can be quite distressing. * The stalking of Reed and Ivy all the time!!! It's like Reed can't trust anyone anymore and she must feel so vulnerable. Poor Reed * The time when Sabine just fired a gun and shot who-knows-who!!!

Posted by Rose Valentine on December 12, 2008 at 08:10 AM EST #

OMGG i got revelation and finishedd it in 2 dayss :] i neverrr read but when i came upon Private i thought omg you are amazing at writing. i lovee writing andd reading your books have made me realize that i really wanna be an author. your are an amazingg authorr. ik its kinda weird considering Reed might have been shot but are you gonna continue on Private? or was revelation the last book? please dont make it i would like to know what happenedd and whats going on with Reed Josh Noelle andd Sabinee ?? and i cant wait for Privilaged :] but i hope revelation was not the last book to Private. and i cant pick a favorite part but the biggest twist was Sabine being Ariana's sister?!?!?!?! omg neverr would of guessed her doing that or anything else. ahh well hope revelation wasnt the last to Private :] Jessie ---

Don't hate me, but my favorite character is Ariana. i completeyly understand her, even though she is mentally insane. (: i think the way she is is because of her mother.

Posted by Amanda on December 12, 2008 at 10:49 PM EST #

Okay, don't hate me but my favorite character is Ariana. I completely understand her. i think her mom is the reason the way she is. (:

Posted by Penni on December 12, 2008 at 11:35 PM EST #

-SPOILER FOR REVELATION- :P Dont read if u havent read revelation yet omg, i cant believe that sabine killed cheyenne! i thought it was trey the intire time tho. i think at the end of revelation, when josh jumps for reed, and then someone says 'oh no reed' or whatever, i think that person who says it is ivy, and josh is jumping for ivy so she doesnt get hurt too, cause she's still his girlfriend, right? so, i think ivy gets shot, but reed gets into a coma or soemthing.

Posted by Alice on December 13, 2008 at 11:22 AM EST #

omg i cant believe sabine killed reed!! well, i think that when josh pushes trey out of the way, and when someone says "oh no reed" i think thats ivy, and josh jumps for ivy AND reed at the same time so both of them dont get hurt but ivy gets shot anyways

Posted by Alice on December 13, 2008 at 11:24 AM EST #

OMG!! i can not wait for privilage and paradise lost in feb.!!! My favorite moments would have to be in Inner Circle when Reed tells Josh she loves him and in the end of revelation when Josh jumps in front of reed... I don't think she got killed because she fnished the book after the bullet went off?!?!?! soo ya but I love TEAM HOLLIS!!! <33 and i can't wait for more books!

Posted by katie on December 13, 2008 at 11:40 AM EST #

I would say the biggest Private twist of 2008 was when we found out who killed Cheyenne. I think that someone will get shot. I do think that Josh does jump in front of Reed but i don't think he will die... hopefully not. My fave line from 2008 was definently the last line from Last Christmas.

Posted by Kaitlyn on December 13, 2008 at 02:41 PM EST #

i totally believe tht josh got shot but not killed. and if i were reed when i got back nto billings i would not sleep in tht same room. i would go live with noelle.

Posted by alli on December 13, 2008 at 04:20 PM EST #

i am confused with who is who on the cover of the books. can you clear that up?

Posted by michelle on December 13, 2008 at 04:50 PM EST #

I just LOVE the Private series. I actually started with Last Christmas in early November and I'm already on Revelation! I love this series so much! Kate, you are and incredible writer. I can't wait for Paradise Lost to come out! My favorite Private moment would have to be when Reed told Josh she loved him. It was soooooo romantic. I ? the Private Series sooooooooo much!!!!

Posted by Olivia? on December 13, 2008 at 06:24 PM EST #

I love ur books!!! I think it was shocking when Reed figured out that Arinas sister killed Chellensce and wants to kill her

Posted by Laura on December 13, 2008 at 07:41 PM EST #

I agree 2008 was a very busy year for Private... I must say that when I think of my favorite Private moments of this year, the first is the one that left me the most tramatized, and thats is the end of Legacy when Gwendolyn Hall burned down. I was obsessively thinking about the next book for weeks after I finished it. I suppose another favorite of mine is the Dash and Reed development in Legacy... (Because if Noelle weren't a factor I really would love more Dash and Reed.) I also loved how Ivy and Reed came together at the end of Revelation. I think they have the potential to be friends, (assuming Ivy doesn't die!!!)

Posted by Ally Jay on December 13, 2008 at 08:04 PM EST #

well i just have to say that i have only read the first six books and i am completely hooked on the series.My favorite twist so far would have to be when ariana killed thomas and was trying to kill Reed.Too Bad thomas had to die...I wish he didn't because I really liked his character.I think it would be cool if Thomas wasn't dead and he was in like the Witness Protection Program or something because of all his bad habits and his art of pissing the wrong people off. I think that would create so much more drama and cause alot of riffs between each character, especially Reed.Keep writing!!

Posted by gabby on December 13, 2008 at 10:46 PM EST #

I really didn't like the ending to revelation. WHO DIED?? WHO LIVED??? WAS SABINE ARRESTED?? WILL WE EVER KNOW THE ANSWERS???

Posted by jena on December 14, 2008 at 12:22 AM EST #

omg what happens to reed or josh? plz write a sequel to revelation it's such a cliff hanger i was dying at the end of the book!!!

Posted by Cristina on December 14, 2008 at 12:32 AM EST #

OMG I love all of the twist in turns in the book series, but my favorite was when Ariana admited to killing Thomas. I was shocked and mad, at the same time, but I still kept reading on.RxT=Best couple ever!

Posted by Rere on December 14, 2008 at 11:08 AM EST #

my favorite part is definately at the end of revelation when noelle accepts reed again i was so happy i cried at that part

Posted by macey on December 14, 2008 at 01:38 PM EST #

Most definitely all of Last Christmas! The end of Revelation was shocking, but finally learning the truth about Ariana was the best!

Posted by Cass on December 14, 2008 at 01:40 PM EST #

I MISS THOMAS he was SO much better than Josh

Posted by macey on December 14, 2008 at 01:43 PM EST #

ok, so i love that at like every book something happens that you dont expect like the end of Confessions and Revelation. except every book is that way. i love it so much. never stop writing them :] i cant wait till privelege. oh. and i hated how Noelle got mad at Reed for the legacy. but who could blame her? im just so glad that they are friends again. oh and i think you should take Amberly out of billings. i just dont like her. but thanks for making this series. its one of the best i have ever read. <333

Posted by Renae on December 14, 2008 at 02:49 PM EST #

I was so shocked when Reed found out that Sabine was Arriana's sister.

Posted by Alexandra on December 14, 2008 at 02:51 PM EST #

I have a HUGE question. haha. can you tell us which character is which person on the covers? me and my friends try to guess it but we want to know the truth.

Posted by Renae on December 14, 2008 at 02:56 PM EST #

Can you tell us which character is which person on the cover? i wold really like to know that. same goes for my friends.

Posted by Renae on December 14, 2008 at 02:59 PM EST #

can you tell us who got shot and if they lived? i just cant wait till febuary. i think it was Reed but she didnt die she just got hurt.

Posted by Renae on December 14, 2008 at 03:03 PM EST #

OMG!!!! My favorite moment in the series was the end of revelation, Shocking! I must have sat with my mouth hanging open staring at the page for at least five minutes!

Posted by Annemarie Duffy on December 14, 2008 at 03:33 PM EST #

ok. can you PUH-LEASE give us at least an idea of when your next book is coming out?!? i about had a stroke at the end of revelation and i am DYING to know what happens next!! its killing me!!

Posted by Emma on December 14, 2008 at 04:10 PM EST #

My favorite moments in the series is when you are completely done with the book and then you think back through the whole book and are like "omg why didn't i catch that, it makes total sense!" lol These books make me sad when I finish them because I want to read the next one right away! I can't wait until the next books..I mean I really CAN'T WAIT!

Posted by Andrea on December 14, 2008 at 05:55 PM EST #

I can't wait till Paradise Lost. :]] your the best author, i'm glad i started reading your books.!!

Posted by tara on December 14, 2008 at 10:37 PM EST #

Do you ever find out about all the stuff that happened at the end revolution??? Did someone die??? If so who was it, Reed, Josh, Ivy??? Please, I'm like dying for answers!?!

Posted by Alexus Ohms on December 14, 2008 at 11:21 PM EST #

i would have to say one: the reappearance of Noelle. my fav billings girl. i strive to be like her. she is the embodiment of power. 2: reed getting kicked out of billings. never thought that would happen.

Posted by jonathan b. on December 14, 2008 at 11:47 PM EST #

I am confused. Sabine shoots Reed, but does she die??? My favorite part was Reed and Josh on the soccer field... so cute. Josh just makes me melt <3!

Posted by Lex on December 15, 2008 at 03:40 PM EST #

OMG, thank god no one died ! But is josh going to stay with Ivy because even though her and reed are friends josh and reed are meant to be together !

Posted by sabine on December 15, 2008 at 04:35 PM EST #

OMG! thanks for posting the first chapter. i luhve that josh is okay:)

where is the chapter posted?

Posted by kait on December 15, 2008 at 06:15 PM EST #

*My favorite moment in the series was reading the deepest & darkest thoughts of Ariana Osgood in "Private: Last Christmas." Although I know alot of readers don't like her character, I was touched to hear her story. (at least the part about her family troubles) Also, I found my self addicted to Ariana's little quirks that she practiced to hold a sense of sanity and control. Call me crazy, but Ariana is one of the best parts of reading "Private." "Privilege" is my most anticipated book of 2008, and I think that it is an amazing idea for a spin off series. Great job Kate, I love your books, and keep up the good work! :)

Posted by Penelope on December 15, 2008 at 07:48 PM EST #

i absolutely LOVE the series... been hooked ever since i read the first one! But i have a question. Did Reed die at the end of the 8th? i noticed in last Christmas that it would say "everything went black" but Ariana didn't die... does this mean Reed didn't?

Posted by Caroline Elinor on December 15, 2008 at 08:41 PM EST #

helpppp meeee im trying to get into the paradise lost chapter 1 thing on your home paggeee and it wont let me read it!!! im dying to knowwww what hapeens!

Posted by abby on December 15, 2008 at 10:20 PM EST #

This is going to sound bad, but i kinda wanted Reed to get shot instead of Ivy, that way Josh and Noelle would have been with her!! I'm such a monster i know! i should be glad that she is fine, still, you left me hanging with Paradise Lost, i'm looking forward to read Reed's and Noelle's conversation.

Posted by Anna on December 16, 2008 at 12:45 AM EST #

i'm still in love with thomas =/ is anybody else? i know he's a huge butt hole. last christmas killed me. but josh is the best by far. his freakin gorgeous hair. i love it. i cant choose favorite moments. oh wait except when reed was like "tomorrow i will be an easton academy student cheyenne, what will you be?" haha. that was kick tail.

Posted by Kimmy on December 16, 2008 at 03:08 PM EST #

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG I cant belive ivy got shot, i never saw it comin. but i hop that reed and josh get back together!!!!!!!

Posted by CB on December 16, 2008 at 04:20 PM EST #

This is going to sound bad but last night after i read the fist chapter of Paradise Lost, I was soooo mad that Josh was staying with Ivy, I had a dream that Ivy never woke up so Josh would get back together with Reed. That sounds so bad.....

Posted by Sam on December 16, 2008 at 05:05 PM EST #

where can i read the first chapter of paradise lost???? I can't find it on the home page:(

Posted by kait on December 16, 2008 at 06:03 PM EST #

okay my favorite moment of all time was at the end of revelation when reed walked into the party and josh told her that he loved her christmas present and then when he lunged for the gun to save reed!!! but im so glad that josh or reed or noelle got shot. im sad that ivy did but im still kinda iffy about her, yeah she helped reed but i still dont know. i think josh is going break up with ivy once she has recovered and him and reed will get back together. and noelle is going to let reed move back inoto billings.

Posted by haley on December 16, 2008 at 07:14 PM EST #

the paradise lost chapter sneak peek isn't letting me read it and its really frusterating. *** Can someone please post what happened in the chapter, please? btw, i love your books kate. theyre the best.

SOMEONE, please, can someone post here what FULLY happens in the chapter of paradise lost? the computer isnt letting me read it and its reaaally frusterating !!

i just started reading these books and they are amazing!! just like all of your books!! one of my favorites is Megan Meade and there should definitely be a sequel! i know tons who would love to read it

Posted by K.L on December 16, 2008 at 08:46 PM EST #

I LOVE YOUR BOOKS! Private books are amazing. Me and my firnd read them over and over again like crazy. Thanks so much for writting such an amzing series and PLEASE don't eveeeeeeer stop! I was just wondering how much more private books are you thinking aout writting. I know there is still Paradise Lost and then Suspicion. But will there be more?(I really want more! LOL)

Posted by S.D on December 16, 2008 at 10:23 PM EST #

I think that my favorite thing about the entire Private series is the friendship between Reed and Noelle. Reed is my favorite character of course, but who better for her to look up to and even idolize than the ever-glamorous Noelle Lange? That girl is the epitome of power and rule. Oh, to have a best friend like her...

Posted by Laura on December 17, 2008 at 12:39 AM EST #

Can I just say I loved these more than Twilight?? I've been reading them longer and WOW! OMG it would be AWESOME if these books turned into a movie!!!!!!! If this does happen, is there any way us loyal readers could try out?! I love acting almost as much as these books, it would be amazing if they turn into movies, especially if I were in them!!!!!!!!!!!! If you decide anything could you e-mail the the people in the fan club? =]

Posted by Danielle on December 17, 2008 at 06:03 PM EST #

i loved the part where we found out who killed Cheyenne. I thought the way that the book ended was amazing, but i hope to find out what happened to Reed.

Posted by Sydney on December 17, 2008 at 06:03 PM EST #

Hello! i would have to say that at the end of Legacy i was very suprised. Some of you might not be that suprised but i think that Reed and Josh should of gottin back together. I do not like Ivy i thought that she was a little bit to suspicious and she was to snotty. also Josh and Reed where very cute togehter. I did have a question though what ever happen to that kid who helped her and also had his own list of suspects? Love, Kelsi <333 P.S.. I cant wait to read privlage and last christmas i really want to find out what is going on with Arianna. !!!!! Bye =]

Posted by Kelsi on December 19, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST #

So I read the 1st chapter of Paradise Lost. And it's absolutely amazing! I was so happy to find out that Josh still loved Reed. Um, does Josh love Ivy? He shouldn't. Cause Reed and him are the perfect couple. I think later in Paradise Lost, they will get back together and everything will be perfect between them. And I'm sure Kate Brian would make them back together again, considering they're like, the hit of the book. Most of us fans want them to be back together. *KATE, IS THERE ANY WAY YOU COULD MAKE PARADISE LOST COME OUT SOON? I MEAN, I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY!*

Posted by Jordin on December 21, 2008 at 10:11 AM EST #

ah i love this series! im totally hooked. but whats gonna happen next? is there gonna be another book after last christmas?? but my fav part is when she gives the toast to noelle [:

Posted by Andrea on December 21, 2008 at 04:54 PM EST #

My favorite part was when Cheyenne had that party at her house right before finals (and before Ariana's revelation), and Noelle thought she had a one-up on Cheyenne by inviting friends from another school and embarrassing her in front of her boyfriend, only for Cheyenne to not only have broken up with the guy, but had already invited all those people in the first place. LOL!

Posted by Nell on December 22, 2008 at 04:18 PM EST #

oh my gosh... i LOVED the end of revelation.. talk about a heart attackk! but i reallly want to see josh and reed get back together cause they are soo perfect for eachotherr and for sabine to admit what she did the night reed and dash hooked up .. WOW i think he should soo take her back! well, love to hear moree :)

Posted by Ashleigh on December 22, 2008 at 06:21 PM EST #

My favorite part would have to be at the end of revelation when you find out Sabine is actually Ariana's sister. It was such a twist because she looked so innocent and i am dieing to know what happens in the next book. imm so exited<3

Posted by Crystal on December 22, 2008 at 08:50 PM EST #

The last 10 pages of Revelation were crazy!! I absolutly loved it. I can't wait till the next book comes out, does anyone know when Paradise Lost comes out?

Posted by Renae on December 23, 2008 at 12:33 PM EST #

I love the private series. Revelation was so shocking! So please just write one more book! I need to know what happened to Reed.

Posted by Sam on December 23, 2008 at 04:50 PM EST #

One of my favourite part in the books is when Josh brings Reed in his tiny little room (the one he had to go in aftre Thomas died because the cops hade to investagate the crime) and when they painted the walls it was so full of emotion and it was really cute! :)

Posted by Private:) on December 23, 2008 at 06:28 PM EST #

OMG I don't even know which has been the best moment. I think it was really shocking when Josh started dating Ivy Slade =P Please tell me that the next book in the private series will be a happy one where they all live happily ever after =D That Josh and Reed are okay after that shocking ending in the last book and they live happily ever after. I literally start crying when bad things happen lol.

Posted by Tatiana on December 24, 2008 at 10:36 AM EST #

If you guys do decide to make a movie you have to be very careful with who you cast. I think all the readers have a particular vision of the characters in their head and you would want to match the descriptions in the book as perfectly as possible. You would also want to be sure to sort of meet the books standards because these girls and guys should look like they just wandered out of Hollister or Abercrombie's magazine :) i have been in a film myself and i could see the pressure to meet the characters standards in all the cast and crew members and its very important. I think if it was casted right it could potentially be an amazing movie :D

Posted by Nichole on December 26, 2008 at 08:27 PM EST #

omg the end of revalationa was great and intense and all but i was like crying for like 30 minutes straight!!! i was devastated now like josh is totally gonna kill himself now that reed is gone how could u do that i wanna think shes in a comma and that wen she wakes up her and josh will be togther i mean ivys OK but i REALLY DONT WANT HER TO BE WITH JOSH! josh and reed are suposed to be together so yes in my head reed and josh are gonna be together and she didnt die ugh even tying the word KILLS ME!!!!! im like so disturbed the ending of the book really effected me and not in the greatest way like i said i couldnt stop crying lol

Posted by Leah Y. on December 27, 2008 at 03:04 PM EST #

I have so many favorite moments in the Private Series, it makes it really hard to choose. But, one of my favorite is when Reed gives Josh the paint brushes for the Christmas party. I really hope Josh and Reed get back together. It wont be the same if they dont get back together. :]

Posted by Major Private Fan on December 28, 2008 at 09:21 AM EST #

Josh and Reed HAVE to get back together. i will be so mad if they don't.

Posted by rebecca on December 28, 2008 at 12:31 PM EST #

Ohhhhhh Myyyyy Gooooooooood!!!!!!!! Last Christmas was AWESOME. I was so suprised that Arianna just started to kill people and why didnt she comfront Daniel about his spreadsheet? i loved the part when thomas said that he would leave her alone and then kept suprising her; i thought it was sooooo cutee. Also why did Sergi not notice the Mel that she was following them around and whos blood was it sergi or was it Mel. So if anyone reads this and agrees please comment back; and if anyone has read Privlage please comment backk. <33 P.S cant wait for Febuary 24 that is when Paridise Lost comes out i cant wait to find out if Reed lived or not!!!!!

Posted by kelsi on December 28, 2008 at 08:06 PM EST #

I can't count all my favorite moments if i tried. I bought the first four books before last summer, before they became the most popular books in my school! I love, love, love the ending of revelation, though it was so suspensful i think i went crazy. You would never have suspected either of the sisters, they were so innocent and such good friends. When you go back and re-read all of the books, you realize little hints about Ariana and Sabine that you now recognize, but would have never caught before. I love Josh and really want him and Reed to get back together. I can't stop thinking about all the ends you left untied, but thats what's gonna keep me reading!

Posted by Ash on December 28, 2008 at 10:43 PM EST #

my favorite part, well two favorites actually, were in the very beginning of the series. The whole thomas, reed scandal. I looooooved reading about Thomas and Reed and honestly I was wishing they would've been together longer! but the whole twist with Ariana made it completely captivating. My second favorite part was the whole last eight chapters of Revelation. Oh my goodness, I nearly had a panick attack after reading about Sabine. I really hope Privileged picks up a little on the whole Reed getting shot, and the talks that Noelle and Josh wanted to have with Reed. Oh pleaaasee say it does! This series was completely amazing.

Posted by shelbs on December 28, 2008 at 11:52 PM EST #

omg!!!i love the private series!!i hope you write mooorrreee!!!josh and reed are so totally meant for each other!!and it is so obvious that josh is still in love with reed even if he is with ivy...anywayz my fave part is in inner circle...when reed tells josh she loves him!!i was literally shaking while reading it!!and josh said i love you a million times!!i hate it when they broke up!!!will they be together again at paradise lost???pleasee!! i cant wait for it anymore!!Im itching to know what happens next!!JOSH AND REED SHOULD TOTALLY BE BACK TOGETHER!!

Posted by Shay on December 29, 2008 at 02:31 AM EST #

I loved Revelation, it had a great ending to it. However, are you going to make another Private book following up Revelation? Or is it the last one? I don't really know if Reed dies or not. For some reason I think that the bullet might have hit Josh or not even hit anyone. I really want you to write another Private novel to finish the series though, the end was just to cliff hanger and left so many unanwsered questions. Thanks

Posted by Kate on December 30, 2008 at 01:15 PM EST #

I would like 2 say that I absolutly LOOOOOV your books 2 day I went 2 Barns&Noble just so I could see PRIVILEGE in book form. When i told my dad that I just wanted 2 see the book he said that I problems. But anyway I have 2 fav moments 1. I loved the pat in confessions when Ariana snapped and tried 2 kill Reed, I was so caught off guard I would have never guessed Ariana was a sycho. 2. the end of Revlation, like everyone else I was really shocked when I found out Sabine was related 2 Ariana and was a sycho 2(First, Ariana's mom we knew was not all there, then, we find out that Ariana was a sycho-killer, and then like that was'nt enough we found out Sabine(the one we thought was a friend)was a sycho 2!!!!!...... WHEW!!! I love these books!

Posted by Vanessa on December 30, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST #

My favorite moment...well, moments, were the cliffhangers at the end of the books- they always make me want the next book so badly! Expecially the one when Taylor IM's Reed saying that everything the other girls are telling her is a lie. Another is when Josh leaps to protect Reed when Sabine fires the shot. It's really clear that Josh still loves Reed. I really love your books, and I was ecstatic when I first found out about the Private series. I love how when you write, the feelings of the characters seem so real to the reader. You are AWESOME :)!

Posted by Alice on December 31, 2008 at 12:43 PM EST #

Wow The ending was the best. I love the series I own every book. I have one questionnnn, when is the next PRIVATE book coming out I can't wait I hate when they end because I just want to keep reading them. :)))) Can't wait for the new one -Samantha

Posted by Samantha on January 01, 2009 at 08:57 PM EST #

I just want to say I love these books. Since this is only about private this year I will just say my favorite moment (like a lot of peoples) is the end of revelation i just could not believe it. I really want josh and reed back together. I was sad when they broke up. I like ivy though i like all the people that aren't to nice. its weird. i guess the saddest thing for me in the whole series is when thomas died. idk why but i loved him i want him back. even though he had issues. he just brought somthing to the books idk. but ok yeah.

Posted by Colleen on January 04, 2009 at 01:16 PM EST #

Your books are intertesting. It has a good plot that makes you want to read more. The only complaint i have to say is your writing style. You're not Jane Austin. You sentences are incomplete, and you constantly forget what you wrote in the chapters and books privisouly. You should really work on that. Hopefully your new series wont make the same mistakes.

Posted by stephanie on January 05, 2009 at 04:27 PM EST #

wow is all i can say... i JUST finished ready revalations like 5 minutes ago. it was AMAZING. but i swear if josh dies because he tried to save reeds life i will cry! they love eachother and are meant to be together!!! and as of this moment i officially HATE sabine; wow insanity really does run in the family...

Posted by Ashley on January 06, 2009 at 06:46 PM EST #

are you going to write anymore PRIVATE novels?

Posted by kirby on January 12, 2009 at 09:00 AM EST #

I love Noelle and how she is so powerful i just had to say that my favorite parts are when reed and josh are together they sound sooo cute i bet josh is sooooo hot because kate brian describes really good reed is a lucky girl but she needs to hold on to him and not let IVY SLADE go out with him this is sooooo depressing

i loved when reed told josh she loved him

I hated the end of Revelation! But since it was in first person, how did Reed die? It's like a story from beyond the grave! It's been eating away at my insides. I must know!

WHAT happened at the end of revalation!!! its getting me soo mad i want to know so bad. I knew that josh would always love reed no matter what and im sooo glad that reed didnt mean to do that with dash. i love reed and josh soo fricken much! they are soo cute!! What happens next!?!?!?!!?!?!?

So i just read Ambition and i have one thing to say...HOW COULD YOU RUIN REED'S LIFE LIKE THAT?! then after all that you're gonna make Sabine (spoiler alert)-Reed's only bff--the newest killer?! Why does everyone have to die? Why couldn't they have just called the police on Thomas instead of tying him up and beating him and also killing him??? Why did Dash have to love Reed? I mean i know--personality-wise she's a quantum leap up from Noelle--but they're "meant to be together right"? And above all why does Reed have to be sooo far up Noelle's rear end?! -angry but addicted

Reed telling Josh she loved him. Finding out Sabine was the killer. And Sabine confessing what she had done. Reed walking in on Josh and Cheyenne, that part was depressing, but it made me want to keep reading for more!! Great work Kate, keep it up!

Ok so I got done with this series about a month ago and LOVED IT!!! I love it and now I sooo want to be a Billings Girl! I'm even writing my own kind of story where I am President of Billings ^_^ But my favorite part of ALL the books is the very ending of Revelation. I just love the part from where Ivy unfolds the picture to the very end. All the clues you get through inner circle, legacy ambition, and revelation are just completely revealed in 10 pages. haha I actually suspected Sabine after Legacy cause she always seemed too cool and collected. I really suspected her in the induction ceremony when she got the necklace and gave Cheyenne that sly look EXACTLY like Ariana. And then when she pulled the gun out and you picture the faces of Trey, Josh, and Reed!!! OMG I thought Josh died at the end!!! I skipped lunch just to go to the library and read the first chapter of Lost Paradise...I just can't wait for that book to come out!*Future Billings Girl*

I just finished Revelation.. wooooooooooooowwwwwww how can you end a series like that!? PLEASE write a follow-up book or I'll go insane! Did Reed just die? How can you do that to the main character!? Great book, horrible ending!

Posted by Catharine on January 31, 2009 at 10:57 PM EST #

Wow! Kate Brian you are a truley amazing writer. every time i pick up one of the private books i can't bare to put it down until i know how it ends! I've read all eight of the private books! i can't wait for paradise lost. Privilege is also on my list of books to read! keep the good books rolling. i have never read this much in a long time, so thank you Kate. -Haley

I also wanted to say that the end of Revelation took me by surprise. I never expected it to be her. I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. lol! -Haley

Posted by Haley Jenkins on February 06, 2009 at 11:26 AM EST #

wow, WTH??? i really dont think threatening the author is going to help you! haha. but anyways. my fave parts from the Private series is in Last Christmas before Ariana went all 'Murder, She Wrote' on us, Reed on the first day at Easton.. cause she had no idea what was coming to her, and in Revelation when Reed and Ivy start becoming friends. <br/> (: --savannah lynn<3

I just finished and the end of Revelation is going to be on my mind until Paradise Lost comes out!!! I can not wait for that and I loved it when Josh and Reed were together! Also, finding out that Sabine was the stalker and killed Cheynne. That was SOMETHING!! I really thought that she was Reed's friend. I love your books Kate!!! Keep writing MORE!!! I will read them!

Posted by Alyssa on February 08, 2009 at 05:38 PM EST #

okay so, i just finished Ambitions but i have to say i was really bummed out when Reed hooked up with Dash at the Legacy. I would never think that Reed would do something like that. Anyways i ordered my copy of Revelations yesterday, which I'm sooo excited to read:) I hope Reed and Josh get back together though. Oh, and i thought Josh was being an ass to Reed when he was going out with Ivy. Like seriously, he pretty much cheated on her to, so I think that they're even.

My favorite part is when reed meets noelle for the first time noelle is so the best character in the book you should write a book from her point of view for sure

Posted by jenny on February 14, 2009 at 07:16 PM EST #

hey i agree with the above comment! u should write a book from noelle's point of view, that would be sooooo awesome!!! -Haley

I almost peed myself at the end of revelation, it was great

Posted by Joanna on February 15, 2009 at 09:10 PM EST #

i cant wait for lost paridise... the last book was such a cliff hanger. i was like who got shot is anyone going to die. i saw it came out febuary 24th so i couldnt wait til the day and i still cant but my favorite part was when reed and josh were alone on the soccer field in thanksgiving... i like josh way better than thomas. i dont like josh and ivy though... hopefully josh and reed will get back together. you are one of the best writers ever. i hope you dont stop the private series anytime soon. thanks for reading :)

Posted by Lynnzie on February 16, 2009 at 06:27 PM EST #

I've read all 9 books in the series + privilege && last christmas. I love paradise lost and cant wait for suspicion, because paradise lost ends with a cliffhanger. :[ but i hope josh and reed get back together. (i dont like ivy) i think that josh is so cute& since what happened with reed and dash was kind of an accident that he should forgive her. but that's all. && kate, you're an amazing writer, the princess and the pauper, lucky t, and v club were all amazing too. :]

Posted by Imani on February 21, 2009 at 03:21 PM EST #

Yeah, I cannot wait for Suspicion to come out! I love the private series! I don't know about you guys, but I didn't really like Last Christmas and the Privilege series starter book (maybe its because I don't like Ariana??). No offense Lynnzie, but I liked Thomas way more than Josh. Josh is adorable of course, but I sorta liked how mysterious Thomas was. It made me so sad when he died :( I hope that Reed doesn't die in the next book and gets back together with josh...

Posted by Sara on February 27, 2009 at 08:14 PM EST #

sigh.. your books are hands down the best ! but i have so many favorite "private moments" its hard to name them all.. so here are my top 5 ; 1.when reed's voted president ;(after Cheyenne's funeral) it shows how they feel she can lead them and how she got them all through it. 2.when she is a suspect for thomas' murder, but reed just has to find a way to prove he's innocent. . 3.when evryone found out about her and dash-- she's alone, but she still finds the strength be strong . 4.when her and josh begin to develop feelings for each other ove thanksgiving. 5.strangely, on the roof top of the building where ariana almost killed reed. its was full of suspense-- and reed finally gets to see what happened to thomas . [[xO]]
