Get It Now Ominous (Private, #13) Articulated By Kate Brian Released Through EPub

the shocking revelations made in the Private prequel, The Book of Spells, Noelle and Reed know they are descendants of the original Billings Girls and their legacy includes a mysterious coven of witches.
But it's nothing compared to what happens next,

One by one, Billings Girls go missing from campus,

The entire community bands together to find the lost girls, hoping they are still alive, Reed can't believe tragedy has struck Easton again, and she begins to wonder if the Billings Girls are cursed.
But when the first body shows up containing a message just for her, she fears her friends are worse than cursed: they're doomed.


The penultimate book in the suspenseful Private series! I think before this book was where I had quit reading last time so I'm excited to finally finish the series! Book of spells If this wasnt an ebook, I would throw it across the room.
Bullshit! Bullshit! So now Reed is like a rich girl, The whole point of this story was that she was supposed to be the underdog, And there's stupid witches or something, You also want to make me believe that sweethearts Josh “I Hate Him With Burning Passion” Hollis and Reed “Mary Sue” Brennan are some kind of dream soulmates.


more book and salvation is upon us,

Bring us a basin! Were going to be sick!

The witchcraft stuff took this series off the rails for me.
I liked the rich kid drama and murder mystery stuff in the others, Okay. I should admit that every time Kate Brian's adding something about witchcraft stuff here, I started to roll my eyes.
Not that it's bad, it's just, . it reminds me a lot of Indonesian soap opera where the heroine was all so powerful, a great descendant of the most powerful clan, was never accused wrong even if she's actually wrong when the market's response to the products is very good, they'll produce more and more of it, even when some things should just ended there.
As a result, the storyline was all messed up,

The way Kate Brian tells the story is, . still pretty much enjoyable, though not as good as the early Private series, However, when you've read the firstbooks of a series and the stories is basically about what might happen in real life: murder, school, boys, etc, and suddenly the next book the main character found out that she's the descendant of a witch, things just get pretty mix up.


Okay, I've previously said in The Book Of Spells that if that's the way Kate Brian wants to add witchcraft thing into Private, that's the way.
But things get weird when the ordinary Reed we know was suddenly ohi'mawitchicandoaspell, And Mrs Kane being the descendant of Helen Big DUH,

Though there are some flaws, I still like how the series progress, I like Ivy! How she became all bestie bestie with Reed is kinda weird on the first place, but hey, she prove herself to be trustworthy! And I'm glad Constance amp Reed's friendship is no longer ruin.


Ominous, from what I recognize, has a lot of what happened in the past amp the characters also made some appearance! From what I've heard, Vengeance is the last book of Private I hate to say this but with this suddenly witches thing, the sooner it ends, the better Actual .


It was an intriguing read but I didnt like Reeds attitude toward witchcraft, She never believed it and even when she was starting to believe she has power, she doubts herself, I think it would have saved her grief if she had just focused and tried the damn spells herself to show her friends that it is real.


She was spineless, And even when Josh believed her power and presents the damn evidence in her face after she saves everyone, she STILL has doubts: “Is it possible Did I really save everyone”

I was so mad.
And I think if Reed hadnt taunted Cheyennes mom, her biological father wouldnt be dead, In typical Brian fashion the story is a series of unexpected twists and turns before finally ending, . . only to leave you with more questions,

As much as I have absolutely loved this series, I'm afraid that its changing, The first books were about academics, fashion, and the wonder and mystery behind the fabulous Billings Girls, But now, a prequel featuring "A Book of Spells" This isn't Harry Potter or any of the fantasy mythologicallybased books that I've also been reading! It better not turn into something all about magic and other supernatural elements.
What happened to the glamour, to the mystery I miss that, Kate Brian, I hope you don't disappoint with the last book of one of my favorite series,

I guess what I'm saying is that this book isn't the best book written by Brian but it definitely was gripping.
I am not a huge fan that she decided to throw in witchcraft since the series has gone from a murdermystery thriller to a scifi/fantasy, but I am still interested in reading the conclusion to the series, "Vengeance".

Book Details:

Title Ominous Private, Book
Author Kate Brian
ed By Purplycookie I had forgotten how intense these last few books are.
Well, the whole series is intense, but I didnt remember much about these last few books, Loads of crazy stuff happening and yet another crazy cliffhanger, How does Kate Brian do it Im sad I only have one book left and my reread of this series will be complete.
Then its on to Privilege for even more crazy!!!! Loved loved loved the penultimate installment in the Private series! I can't believe.
that I actually said "penultimate" and, that there's only one book left till the end of the series : :

Book Of Spells led the path for Ominous, as it's full of magic, witches, dreams of the future.
Ominous went to a totally different direction than the rest of the Private books, because a small, tiny little piece of paranormal was added in it.
I know that rubbed some people the wrong way, and it's understandable, Afterbooks about frenemies, parties, boys and a lot of mystery, all of a sudden magic has been thrown in and I can see why someone may not care for it.

Personally, I didn't mind, Having already read Book Of Spells I was kind of expecting it, to be honest, Besides, I thought that the magic part was put into much better use in Ominous than BOS, thus resulting into more intrigue and "OMG" moments.


I loved the way this book kinda sums up everything that have happened during this/year of Reeds's stay at Easton.
Cheyenne, Sabine, even our beloved Ariana made an "appearance",
Reed's relationships with the other girls didn't change, nor did her relationship with Josh and it better stay that way till the end, otherwise I'll freak out : Yeah, I kinda love Josh.
And so admire him for his patience, because what he went throughand still iswith Reed I think he should win a medal for that or something! He is absolutely amazing and I really really hope they stay together until the very end.


As for the ending, priceless!!! Just when you think that OK mystery solved, end of story, close the book, then it goes and surprises you in a way you have to read to believe!

All in all, I absolutely loved Ominous, I read it in one sitting.
I am so so so sad that this series is coming to an end what's next College I surely hope so! but also very excited to read the last book, Vengeance, coming out Septemberth,.
After finding out Reed is half sisters with Noelle by sharing the same father, Noelle's and now Reed's grandmother explains to Reed she took Noelle as a plan to test Reed to see how strong she was to be the one to find the Book of Spells and to lead the new coven of witches.
They follow their grandmother's advice and look back into the Billings Literary Society, By locating an area with the key their grandmother gives them they find the Book of Spells, The first prequel to this series was about the Book of Spells, After they start looking into it girls start to disappear, We have another good suspenseful mystery at our hands, Noelle and Reed kind of think it has to do with one of the original founders but they are not entirely sure why these girls are disappearing until Reeds puts some of the puzzle together.
Reed has nightmares and the ghosts of the original founders of the Book of Spells try to warn Reed.
From these warnings Reed is able to put the puzzle together, She realizes the girls that are going missing were not supposed to be a part of Billings, They try to warn the other girls after the headmaster closes the doors to Easton, Noelle and Reed go to the family home in New York and their dad heightens security, Noelle and Reed decide to initiate the girls into the circle as witches and try to get them to learn new spells to try to protect themselves.
In the end, Reed is abducted at her birthday party, The other girls that are missing are at a place where Reed is taken to, There are original women of the Billings society and they want to do a ritual sacrifice, They believe if they can get rid of the girls the curse would be gone, Joshua and Reed's biological father finds the girls, In the end, Reed's biological father ends up dying by jumping in front of Reed when Cheyenne's mother throws a knife that is meant to hit Reed.
I really loved this series until it took a turn into magic and witchcraft, It's an unnecessary addition to a plot/series that was already so amazing, it kind of ruined the whole series for me.
These books are just getting more and more ridiculous as the series goes on, Honestly they should have ended it at book, Bookspresent just show that "Kate Brian" real name Kieran Scott has completely run out of ideas and is just writing random crap to add a little drama.
Don't like the direction this series has taken, Preppy rich girls was one thing, but preppy rich girls reading studying witchcraft is another, Sooooo disappointed. All that witchcraft and wizardry plot was just unnecessary and not to forget stupid, I did not expect this series to hit such an alltime low after a rollercoaster ride it had been from booknd toth.
The idea of a being descendants of witches and Billings being a Coven was utterly ridiculous, I was waiting for an explanation that someone was just messing with Reed but it never came up, The ending was filmy too, with Noelle's dad dying while saving Reed from getting stabbed, . . which was not at all required,
Really disappointed.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm

glad this ended after next book, I don't think I could have taken anymore of this doltishness like it's happening with Pretty Little Liars series.


I'm halfway through Vengeance and I can say that it is better than Ominous but suddenly the concept of Spell Books and witchery was wiped out.
It's mentioned just once and forgotten, no closure to that story or anything, Oh man, what happened to this series :
I really wouldn't want to say goodbye to a series which ended badly.
I don't want to write about what happens because it is so GREAT! Everyone should read this series,

I loved Reed, Josh, Noelle, Ivy, and Mr, Lange in this book! Reed and Noelle are the best main characters,

This is my favorite series and I don't want the next book to be the last :o

I thought the witch storyline could be hard to follow this far into the series but it tied together to all events in the series very well! Spoiler Free Summary By Emerald BookWorm

I didn't know a thing about this series going into it.
My boyfriend now husband would always go to the library to pick up books for me and he stumbled across this series and brought me the first book, thinking I would enjoy it.
/ Well he was right lol, / I was instantly hooked and reserving the next book withinhours, / This series is definitely not realistic and is pretty dramatic lol , but it's lots of fun and it was the first time I'd ever read anything like this before.
/ It went places I would of never thought, / I know it looks super cheesy, and maybe it is to an extent lol, but the story is pretty good actually and kept me interested.
/ There are a lot of books in this series but it's so easy to read through and very enjoyable.
/ I recommend! Check this series out!

Until Next Time,

Series: Private,

As always, possible spoilers, so beware.


First Line: I couldnt move,

If you have not read the Private prequel, The Book of Spells, you will be so lost.
So, for the purposes of this review I will assume everyone reading this has read The Book of Spells.


At first I was a little skeptical of magic in this series, Not because I dont like magic, in fact I love magic, Harry Potter and Charmed are two of my favorite things in the world, I just wasnt sure I liked it in here, I mean this is Private! Private has survived for four years with its scandals, murders, boarding schools, cute boys, and of course, Reed Brennan.
I didnt understand why in the SECOND TO LAST BOOK Kate Brian brought magic in the mix, That would be like getting a Chanel bag for your birthday only to find out it was from, And while just owning something Chanel would be amazing, it would still be a total let down!

So you can see I was skeptical in the beginning.
I thought for sure it would be cheesy and unbearable, but in a way only Kate Brian can do I was actually blown away.


The book opens exactly wear Vanished left often, Reed and Noelle have found The Book of Spells, Noelle immediately thinks it a joke and wants nothing to do with it, but Reed is intrigued, She kind of likes the idea of being a witch, Reed becomes kind of obsessed with the book, She reads it all day and night, always has it with her, Then she has a dream of Elizabeth Williams and of Astrid being kidnapped, She wakes up and lo and behold Astrid is missing! Reed tells Ivy and Josh about her dream and the book and of course they believe her because they are true friends.
Noelle still thinks its a joke, which I can understand, Thats just Noelle. But I still felt a little hurt and a little bad for Reed because they are sisters and even if Noelle thought the magic was crazy she didnt have to make fun of Reed.


Reed has a few more dreams of some of the Billings girls going missing so the headmaster calls school off for a while I still cant believe Easton is even open considering all the stuff that has gone down and Reed and Noelle head to Noelles house in New York.
Reed decides its time she tells the other Billings girls about the Book of Spells, Of course, some people believe her and some people thinks shes nuts, Reed and the girls do the initiation to make them witches, Meanwhile Reed is trying to figure out the connection between Elizabeth Williams they look exactly alike! and herself, She finds out that Noelle is a descendant of Theresa Billings, Ariana is a descendant of Catherine White, and she is a descendant of both Theresa and Elizabeth Williams! So that explains all of her bad luck, haha.


Some stuff goes down on her birthday and we find out the person kidnapping the Billings girls is Mrs.
Kane, Cheyenne Martins mother who is a descendant of Helen Jennings and who blames Reed for everyones trouble.
I really enjoyed how Kate Brian weaved the history of the girls in the Book of Spells to the characters we know now.
I am very anxious to know how the series will end,

What Happens Next
Vengeance, theth and last novel in the series comes out September

Buy Rent Borrow
Buy! If you dont like this series you are crazy! Although I can understand how the magic may have turned some people off

Cover Appeal:
The covers have been kind of weird for a while, but I really like this one.
