Mission Hurricane Live Blogging- Chapters 18-24

IAN FLIPPING KABRA I SWEAR IF YOU CALL CARA LOVELY ONE MORE TIME I WILL SHOOT YOU MYSELF.

I hate this I hate this I hate this.

Have I mentioned I hate this?

YOU DONT HAVE FEELING FOR HER YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING IAN STOP.

Ian's really ticking me off in this book he needs to chill. 

DONT INSULT HIS NAPOLEON OBSESSION CARA

Dan's little speech to Anki was perfect I loved that. 

XD Ian chill apologizing isn't that hard.

They were able to figure out that the disaster will be caused by the gateway operated by a computer. Smart.

So now they have to go to Rotterdam. Wonderful. 

XD gotta feel bad for the guy whose boat they hijacked..

IAN DONT THROW YOURSELF OVER CARA IF SOMEONE HAS TO GO IT SHOULD BE HER.

Gosh he's trembling. I'm worried Dan's right- he's cracking.

Back to Japan-

Great. Nellie and Sammy are in fatal danger now too, thanks to a giant storm.

Okay, they're digging a cave. Poor things.. 

They still have their sense of humor. That's good, hypothermia hasn't totally set in. 

Aaaaaand they're gonna be stuck there for hours. Great.

Back to the other near-death situation, the Netherlands!!

After a rough, seasick-filled journey, they've made it to Rotterdam.

Oh gosh. Now they only have forty-one minutes.

While Ian distracts the guide, Cara's hacking the computer. Hmph. Maybe "April May" will finally be good for something. 

Come on Dan, figure it out...

Oh gosh. Someone's stuck out on the water. Dan is of course playing the hero and going to save them.

Noon. The North Sea erupted.

They made it. Barely.

Now to the Outcast

"Long after her death, Grace's opinion of him still mattered." Because he loved her?

"Watching THEIR grandson." Nathaniel confirmation.

Video Conference- Various Locations:

Gosh, Jonah had to have forty stitches for that leg!

XD I love how knowledgeable Ian is about plastic surgery..

The kids now know for sure. The Outcast is their grandfather. No duh.

YAY NELLIE AND SAMMY ARE WARM AND SAFE.

Nellie explained how the endgame is the Clues. Sounds familiar.

Gosh Ian sounds like he's doing terribly.

Hahahahaha he wants to keep the Cahills from complaining by poisoning them XD

Ian is officially not head of the family anymore. 

NO

NONONONONO

THAT WAS HORRIBLE.

STOP KISSING HER

STOP

UGH IAN KABRA I HATE YOU

....

So Amy and Dan are back at the head of the family.

Oh gosh. Dan is going to have to be bait.

And that concludes Book 3.

...excuse me while I gag over Carian. Goodnight.

Dan fills Amy in on the bomb situation. They're both kind of about to lose it, but Dan cheers up immediately when he sees Saladin on the screen. That was sweet.

They had to break into the hangar, tricks most likely learned from Light Fingered Larry. 

The hangar was decorated with tons of different flight-related things, now covered with a layer of dust. We get another sad scene of Amy reminiscing. Jenny, you're killing me.

SERIOUSLY STOP WITH THESE SCENES AGH

OH MY GOSH THEY BROUGHT THE QUOTE FROM TITANIC BACK THAT WAS SO COOL

Ugh Alek. He always brings trouble...

STOP IT ALEK IRINA WAS WONDERFUL IM GOING TO HURT YOU.

He makes me nervous.

"The worst traps in life are set by the ones we love." Gosh I love that sentence.

"Would now be an okay time to mention that your grandmother always freaked me out?" XD I loved that section 

I love how much of Grace is in this series it's great.

Oh my gosh I love that story about crooked frames. Even back then Grace was preparing you, Amy! If only you would see it! 

HAM NO

Gosh

Ahhhhh I love how all the Grace memories have clues it's so cool.

Safe- open!!

Dang it we're back in Japan now

So Nellie and Sammy find Magnus stealing things from the Tomas vault- serum ingredients.

UGH LET THE SERUM DIE ALREADY

GO SAMMY!!! He disabled the fingerprint scanner so that Magnus is trapped in the room. Sammy, you rock.

Aaaaaand back to Massachusetts!

The kids have the files, but they're stuck underground. Yay.

Hamilton's awake!!! Sweet!!

Oh my gosh, so the "black files" were files that Grace collected of dirt on all of the Cahills. I kind of love it not gonna lie XD 

There's even a file on Eisenhower.

Grace basically got him kicked out of West Point. I don't know what to think. On the one hand, I can see how it was for the good of the family. On the other...

YES WE FINALLY GET TO HEAR ABOUT NATHANIEL THERES A FILE HALLELUJAH

AMY. YOU DO HAVE TO TELL US NOW. SPIT IT OUT.

My guess is since it apparently involved Hope he threatened to kill her or something I don't know. I know that's probably why Grace ordered him out. 

Someone's coming inside. Oh gosh.

NO! NOT JONAH!! NO!!!

Oh no..poor Jonah..why is it always his legs??????? I'm glad he's okay though. 

Oh my gosh. ..foam? Um, is Alek dead..?

(Sorry, guys! I know you've been reading, but I got called off into the Skype world again. Oops!! But I'm back now, hopefully for good!!!!)

Back to Amsterdam!!

Cara, Ian, and Dan are trying to figure out the technicalities of a nuclear bomb exploding underwater. 

I feel so bad for Ian in this moment, he has a horrible amount of pressure on him. Being the leader of the Cahills certainly isn't a fun job. 

They didn't even tell us the worst part yet. Thanks to some digging, they learned that the disaster is going to take place...tomorrow.

(side note: am I the only one who wouldn't mind Cara having an unfortunate accident with this disaster?)

Back to Boston!

I'm pretty sure this is going to be the funniest chapter in the world.

"She requested that those present remain silent, and that no one be allowed to leave until the reading is over. So please, no matter how, er, ugly, this gets, do not vacate your seats."

Oh my gosh I can't wait to read this. 

...this is beautiful XD

Oh my GOSHHH her last words to Amy and Dan. XD It's so mean but I just cannot stop laughing!!

SHE KEPT DIARIES!!! Oh my word what I would not give to read those. Can that be its own series? Please? 

So of course Berman went off to hunt for the diaries..

Oh my gosh XD Beatrice donated her entire fortune of 20 million to the Porcelain Cats Are People Too Foundation XD That is golden.

Berman got the diaries, but Amy, Dan, and Hamilton threatened him into handing them over.

OH NO SALADINS AT THE SHELTER NONONO

The Cahills are frantically trying to find the shelter and save him. I SWEAR...

HES OKAY!! YAY!! I love how he nearly murdered that employee XD

Now time to read the diaries..

Oh my gosh, I love that Grace put fish oil in Bea's facial cream..

Amy is still worried about Grace, but I think from that entry it's obvious that Nathaniel was bad news. Come on, Amy. Trust her. 

TIME TO CALL FISKE

I hate hearing him sick. It crushes me. He's still so sweet.

Fiske said that Grace might have kept some files that could be of use in her airplane hangar. Only problem- it's in Attleboro.

Back in Japan...

XD I love that Sammy rigged up the Tomas stronghold door with a pulley system. Go nerds!!!

George Washington was a Tomas? What? I thought he was a Lucian...?

Aaaand the stronghold is deserted. What on earth??

Meanwhile in the Netherlands, Cara and Ian are already bickering. Just kill me. 

Dan isn't sure how to feel about the whole Grace situation. He's not at all as torn up about it as Amy is, that's for sure. 

Apparently there's been a levee disaster in the Netherlands before, many years ago. Their delta system is insane- almost impossible to find a sabotaged levee. This won't be easy. 

Also, can we appreciate that Dan went in a museum of his own free will? XD 

Oh my gosh. The outcast could be planning to detonate a nuclear bomb underwater to cause a tsunami like reaction. I thought we didn't have to worry about bombs until the next book! 

Back in Japan, Nellie and Sammy have been able to deduce that the Tomas stronghold hasn't been abandoned for long. Now to determine WHY. 

Sammy (with his awesome skills) found a hidden room...

But now, to Boston!

XD I love that the video Hamilton trades went viral. Poor Jonah..

Amy is choosing to go to the will reading alone. Not the smartest decision in my mind, but okay..

Seeing Amy reminisce about Grace's will reading was really sad. That was so long ago...

FISKE IS TOO ILL TO SHOW UP?? SINCE WHEN IS FISKE ILL??? HE WAS FINE IN TITANIC. HE WAS DANCING. WHAT???

Ughhh go away Mr. Berman.

Oh gosh. "Until she heard her aunt's last words." WHAT NOW.

Mission Hurricane Live Blogging- Chapters 4-7

So the blinding light was actually the flash of a camera (papparazi), and Hamilton totally tackled the guy. Note- GUY. Not a woman. The intruder was a woman. Perhaps the guy was a distraction?

The guy might have gotten a photo of the woman!!

UGH IAN AND CARA ARE ASLEEP ON THE SAME SOFA NO

So the intruder didn't steal anything- she left something. A clog, with a poem on it. The disaster is going to be in Holland, and the devastation will rival Katrina. Is there a dam or something that could be broken? I don't know much about Holland...

Now Ian wants to send a team of assassins to attack Attleboro. Ian, I think you're losing it a bit. 

DONT CALL CARA ADORABLE IAN KABRA I SWEAR

I'm worried about Ian. Everyone is saying he's a bit unhinged, and I think they're right.. I know the Hindenburg upset him but he's kind of losing it.

XD Oh my goshhhhh Hamilton bribed the paparazzi with an embarrassing video of Jonah, and Jonah started chasing him with the clog...

Oh my gosh. The intruder was Cora Wizard.

Jonah is naturally really upset. And Ian can empathize.

Haha, Ian's so bad at trying to be comforting, but it's really funny.

He's also super arrogant in this chapter, which is getting on my nerves. He'd lost a lot of that and it's coming back. 

DONT CALL CARA CUTE

They think that this isn't going to be a natural disaster. A lot of Katrina had to do with failed leadership. 

Back to Attleboro for Chapter 6...

The Outcast is thinking about how family and loyalty had been Grace's undoing. Gosh I want to see how this storyline unfolds. 

NONONO THE OUTCAST SAID TO DISPOSE OF SALADIN. HED BETTER NOT HURT MY BABY.

Back to Mt Fuji...

I love Nellie and Sammy so much...they need a ship name.

Avalanche!! No!!

Nellie was almost buried alive but made it out okay. Thank goodness.

Back to Italy and the Cahill kids for chapter 7

IAN GETS TEA! YAY!

Dan and Amy are thinking about the Outcast, and how perhaps Beatrice knew something. They plan to go to her will reading the next day. 

UGH CARA AND IAN ARE ON THE SAME TEAM UGH.

Ian tensed when Cara touched him. I'm so confused about them, ugh. I agree with Dan- "the whole thing made him want to puke." He's on Ian and Cara's team, maybe he can break them up somehow. 

Current Mood- Wanting to kill Carian

HI! SO! Sorry I didn't get the first live blog up. Basically long story short, most of my friends went to a competition this weekend that I wasn't able to go to, and when I was in the middle of writing this, they FaceTimed me. SO, I'm just now getting back to it. Sorry!!

Chapters 1-3

Anyone else think of Irina when Alek was ordering the captain not to make small talk? That's just what she said to the cab driver. Parallels make me cry.

Death within the first chapter. Yay. Yes, I'm aware it wasn't an important character BUT STILL. It doesn't bode well.

NOO I JUST SET THE BOOK DOWN TO TYPE AND CREASED A PAGE. Dang it.

The mention of Trust No One killed me. TRUST GRACE. ALWAYS TRUST HER. Jenny Goebel seems to like parallels. Yay. That won't hurt.

I really wish Amy would trust Grace. This is bugging me. 

"Grace has created a violent and conscious circle, a hurricane of evil." Is this "Mission Hurricane" ?

HI IAN!!

NO PLZ DONT CRACK

Someone else is in their villa! 

Apparently there was a woman in the villa but they couldn't catch her. Sinead? I've heard she isn't in this book though..

Chapter 2 ends with Hamilton and Amy blinded by light. Great.

Aaaand now we're in Japan. NELLIE!!! 

Apparently she and Sammy are summiting Mount Fuji. Be careful!!

The restaurant owner said that its Avalanche season on Fuji. How convenient. 

Ahhhh Nellie and Sammy are so cute though. THEYD BETTER SURVIVE.

Time to keep reading!

Let The Madness Begin

Well. Here we are.

I'm in my room, Mission Hurricane in front of me. And...it's live blog day! This is going to be interesting.

There's the distinct possibility I'm going to die. 

Let's begin.

Mission Hurricane

Well, it finally came tonight. Mission Hurricane.

Please excuse the awful photo, it didn't come until after six o'clock, and by then the lighting was terrible. But I had to take a photo!!

I'm super nervous to read this, especially from the different spoilers that I've seen/heard about. At this point, I'm beginning to think that ignorance is probably bliss haha. I don't think that I can handle this book.

Like with Mission Hindenburg, I'm going to be live blogging this as I read it. I'm not sure when I'm going to have the chance to read it though, because tomorrow I have a six hour rehearsal, school stuff, and my cousin is coming over for dinner. Best case scenario, I'll get to read it and live blog it on Thursday, but worst case would probably be Saturday. Let's hope that I get to do it on Thursday, though! Honestly I have to psych myself up for it, otherwise I'll put it off. The Carian is going to make me nauseous ugh.

Have any of y'all gotten your hands on a copy yet?

IT'S HERE

GUYS.

MY BOOK JUST CAME LIKE TEN MINUTES AGO.

I OFFICIALLY HAVE IT. 

Current Mood

Me after hearing there's going to be a Carian kiss...

No words

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

(MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR thanks to the awesome ABBY for letting me know that Mission Hurricane is now searchable on Amazon!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!)

Okay. So. I only searched a couple of names to see how often they came up. I didn't want to spoil too much. But I was flipping through to see how much of it was available online (again, didn't actually read it but I was curious how much was available), and my eyes happened to fall upon this-

IAN TENSED.

HE TENSED.

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE MIGHT NOT BE TOO HAPPY WITH CARA RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE. I'M PRAYING HERE.

CARIAN NEEDS TO FAIL.

GOODBYE.

IT'S NOT OVER

GUYS.

THE 39 CLUES IS NOT OVER.

I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

THE 39 CLUES IS NOT OVER.

I'm only somewhat freaking out..

Mission Atomic Cover Reveal Post

OKAY. So.

It's been roughly 24 hours since I saw the Mission Atomic post on the MB. Updates...

-A possible solution to the code (FAIBNCD TDHEE HFIGVHE) is FIND THE HIVE, which can be reached by reading every other letter. (GO MB PERSON YOU'RE COOL.) I'm not sure how that's the big clue? But I guess it comes into play. Maybe there's something else as well?

-Someone else realized, THE CREST DOESN'T SHATTER ON THIS COVER. GUYS. IT'S ALWAYS SHATTERED ON THE COVER OF THE FINAL BOOK. WHAT THE HECK. ?!?!!??!

-

I swear he hates us.

--------

Any more theories?

He's Going To Make Me Cry

I know I just posted (PLEASE GO READ IT IT'S IMPORTANT), but I'm stalking his twitter and I found this.

Valar morghulis apparently means "all men must die" (I googled it.) WHO'S GOING TO DIE. I'M ONLY OKAY WITH A GIRL DYING IF IT'S CARA. PLEASE BE CARA.

Mission Atomic- UGH

(Huge thanks to Katja for sharing this!)

UGH. Sarwat Chadda, you are killing me more and more every day.

(original post here) (I'm dancerspy17 btw. That was the first time I've ever commented on the MB but I felt it was necessary.)

First off, I DON'T WANT TO BE AFRAID. DO NOT HURT IAN OR I SWEAR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN.

Second- The clue's on the cover. If you look, there are some letters on the right side. I *think* they are-

FAIBNCD
TDHEE
HFIGVHE

I may be reading that wrong because the image won't let me zoom, and the letters aren't on the Amazon cover. Here's the closest up I can get of the image.

Okay, so more ideas/theories-

Are the letters too obvious? Like, they're right there. Maybe the letters are just there to drive us nuts? I don't know. I've tried anagram sites, the a=z code, and the code where you use the letter directly before/after. I want to try more codes later, but that was the first shot.

"What you think you're seeing isn't what you need to see." WHAT DO I NEED TO SEE???

Also in the letters, the first things I noticed were the letters to spell IAN, DIE, and FIGHT. I don't like that.

As far as the symbol gosh, all I really notice is the fact that the 39 is burning?

Are the big hourglass shaped things nuclear reactors or what? I know nothing about this kind of stuff..

UGH. I don't know what to think. Y'all, help me out here!!!!! Theories? Ideas? HELP! WE CAN SOLVE THIS, GUYS. LET'S DO IT.

A Lovely Pillow

So, I got this for Christmas. Can we just appreciate for a moment how well my family knows me? ITS A LOVELY PILLOW!!!!

Deaths....

Okay. So. I'm trying to be realistic here. There are two books left in the series, and there's no way we're going to get away without any deaths. The question is, who's going to die? I've been trying to figure it out for days, and honestly there isn't anyone that I feel like is completely safe. So I decided to try to make a list of all the characters and my opinion on their chances of survival haha.

Amy- Okay. Amy. On the one hand, I kind of think she's safe, seeing as she's one of the more significant characters, and these books are technically for children. But on the other hand, what would be more scarring than to have the character you've followed for years pulled away from you? I also feel like she would sacrifice herself for someone else if given the opportunity, because she doesn't want any more of her family members to die. So in that respect, it almost wouldn't surprise me.

Dan- I don't really think that Dan is going to die. The only reason that I can see him dying is to cause Amy pain. From that standpoint, I can see him being killed. Other than that, he's not one that I'm really worried about. I could be wrong though.

Fiske- I won't be surprised at all if Fiske dies. Quite frankly I'm surprised that he's made it this long. He's on the older side, so he doesn't have that going for him. And since Nathaniel is involved, I have a bad feeling for Fiske. Being Grace's brother, he has a gigantic target on his back. In other words, my heart is probably going to be broken.

Nellie- I'm not exactly sure WHAT to think about Nellie. If she's killed at this point, after all that she's done for the Cahills, I swear to you I will riot. Seeing as she's getting close to having her happy ending with Sammy, there's a chance that she could die, because apparently the characters can never be happy. Maybe the authors will be kind, though...#letNelliebehappy2k16

Sammy- Speaking of Sammy, I think there's a very strong chance that he's not going to make it. I mean, first off, he's a new character. The writers seem to think that new characters are basically disposable, *coughPonycough* so I don't have high hopes for Sammy. BUT I WANT TO SEE HIM MARRY NELLIE. I NEED A PROPOSAL STAT.

Jonah- I've got to admit, I'm a little worried about Jonah. He's a bit of a less prominent character, but he's still well loved enough to leave the fangirls horrified if he dies. So from an author's standpoint, I can see the logic behind killing him. BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY BABY. I love Jonah so much.

Hamilton- I don't really think that Hamilton is going to die, especially in light of his reveal in Hindenburg. I don't know though, it seems like everyone is at risk.

Ian- I'm really worried about Ian. He's already the character that's basically lost everything. So in a way, I wouldn't be surprised to see him die. even though I would hurt someone.  Plus, having his dad involved could get interesting. Like, what if Vikram actually killed him? Or watched him die?? I don't know, that's how my mind works. Plus, he's a fairly well-loved character, so it would elicit a huge reaction. A very dramatic ending to a traumatic life. Wouldn't surprise me.

Saladin- HE'S LITERALLY WITH THE OUTCAST. HIS LIFE COULD BE ENDING AS WE SPEAK.

Cara- I don't think she's going to die because that would make me too happy but can she please???

Atticus- Eh, he hasn't been in this series at all. I'd say his death chances are extremely low.

Jake- Same as Att, very low chances. I will say that if they bring him back in like, the last book, and he has tons of love scenes with Amy I just might have to go pay Sarwat Chaddah a visit.

So what do you think? Who's going to die?

Random 39 Clues Spam In Which I Lose My Mind

So, I got on a *bit* of an obsessive 39 Clues kick tonight. As in, scrolling through tumblr and dying over and over and over. OF COURSE, I had to screenshot everything and post it. Because I must share my pain.

 This made me laugh so hard...

THAT'S WHAT I SAID

C'mon, Ian...

Oh my goshhhh xD

"This isn't going to work.."

XD YES

REALLY?

"David no" XD

I would read it..

OH MY GOSH XD

Same here..

Sorry Jamy fans..this made me laugh so hard...

I want it so badly..

I've wondered about this...

That was like, my favorite part of the book

ME

*SHOVES HAND IN AIR*

"my children"

This was on Peter Lerangis's guestbook and I love it

Why yes. I am.

LIYAH

Evil Chadwick....

I would kill for that series.

This hurts...

Help

On another note, 21 DAYS UNTIL MISSION HURRICANE!
