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..?

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!

I'd love to go back to those Russian secrets again...I feel like they could do so much there. Like, I know that they've already done a lot with Russia. But wouldn't it be super cool if they did like, a whole book exploring the Lucian files?

An Alek Quote!!

~Mission Titanic

Here's a bit of Alek Spasky for you, per special request!!

A Funny Story..

So, I just realized that I never told y'all this story, and I thought that it might entertain you! xD 

I'll start back at the beginning. The day that I read Mission Hindenburg, I saw something online where someone was upset with the identity of the Outcast. At the time, it didn't really faze me, I just went on with my life.

Then, later that afternoon, I was reading Mission Hindenburg. I left my room for a few minutes to get some food, and when I came back, I accidentally saw the back panel. 

I didn't read the actual letter, but one name flashed before my eyes.

Irina. 

And often, the letter at the back of the book is from a villain. So when I saw her name, a character that I loved dearly but had died, I kind of flipped out. Basically, I was thinking that Irina wasn't dead, and she was the Outcast.

Later, I found out that the letter was just her version of a will to Alek. But at the time....oh gosh. I was absolutely freaking out.

Wouldn't it have been crazy if Irina had been the Outcast? I've got to admit, that would have been a really cool plot twist. I would have absolutely died...but it would have been super cool!! That would have been probably the most shocking plot twist in the books. 

So anyways, I just thought that you all might be interested in the story of how I pretty much almost died. 

My Thoughts on Grace

Okay, so for the past three series, Grace has kind of been the perfect character. She was the one who always had everything planned to the last detail, and even after she was dead, she had always had everything worked out in advance. But then in these last two books, everything that we've known about Grace has sort of been turned upside down. Suddenly, we're supposed to believe that this incredible woman was an evil, cruel, ruthless, cold hearted killer. Honestly though- I don't believe it.

I don't refuse to believe it just because I love Grace. I mean yeah, she's always been one of my favorite characters, just because she's so incredible. But....I do have actual reasoning behind this.

First off, think back to the assassination letter that Grace wrote to Vladimir. Yes, she did write a letter authorizing the death of her husband. But I do NOT believe that it was simply because he wanted a divorce, like Beatrice claimed. Think about what she actually said. "He has become a threat to more than just the tranquility of my home." Obviously, there was more going on. Look back at Grace. Has she ever done anything crazy, anything that there wasn't a solid reason behind the decision? No, she hasn't.

But the one thing that I've always looked back on whenever anything has been said about Grace, the one moment that I've always thought of, was Irina. Remember how in books 4-6, Irina was always thinking about Grace? At one point, Irina thought, "When you called me a fool, there was kindness in your eyes." (I'm paraphrasing here, sorry. That's not the exact quote, but I'm currently watching The Princess Diaries for the 87th time and I don't want to go upstairs to get my book.) Anyways, so let's think about it. Irina had done many, many things that should cause Grace to hate her. Irina killed tons of people. She was responsible for lots of terrible things. When Grace's daughter died, Irina said, "These things happen." She said that to a woman whose daughter had just been killed. Yet, Grace was still always kind to Irina. You cannot tell me that the woman who supposedly killed her own husband just because he wanted a divorce would be kind to the woman who was partially responsible for the death of her daughter. I just don't believe it.

I'm really expecting an explanation of how Grace realized that Nathaniel was evil, and needed him killed. I just don't believe that Grace was evil. There's most likely going to be a big explanation of how, yet again, Grace was right.

Then again, it could be kind of interesting to see Grace having done something wrong. To see her as a fallible person like everyone else would definitely be interesting.

What do you think of Grace?

Mission Hindenburg Live Blogging- Chapters 30-34

We'll this is it. The last four chapters. I'm both terrified and ready for it to be over because I can't handle one more Carian moment.

"He really hoped he was right. He'd hate for his last words to his big sister to have been a lie." Ouch. That hurt. A lot. 

AGH. This is so stressful. 

I HATE THIS. "Do you trust me?" IAN, ONLY ALADDIN IS ALLOWED TO USE THAT PICK UP LINE. AND YOU ESPECIALLY AREN'T ALLOWED TO SAY IT TO CARA. 

Sorry, but the whole, "This is our last moment, I love you," thing was kind of lame.

....Wow. The Lucian airship blew. I find it very interesting Vikram didn't want Ian on board... He said he doesn't want any harm to come to Ian. Wow. 

Oh my gosh. IS THE OUTCAST TRYING TO MAKE THE SERUM TOO??? "One gram melted amber." If he is, he's a lot stupider than I thought. 

NO. AMY, YOU DO NOT LIKE CARA. HATE HER. 

I loved when Amy called the Outcast! It was super intense and awesome. Go, Amy!

YES! I knew Nathaniel was alive. This will be interesting. 

I loved the letter from Irina in the back of the book. Gosh, I miss her. 

Well, I finished the book! .....wow. I'm going to have a lot of posting to do on this.....

Oh my gosh, Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton....he's not always the brightest. XD When he attacked the guy and threw his plastic trays out the window, I was laughing sooooo hard!!!! Hamilton also realized that Toby Griffin was on the ship-yet another Outcast ally. 

Meanwhile, Amy is on board the MIT ship. Did anyone else notice that the stutter made a comeback? Ah, first series...

Hmm, a new girl. Eriele. I'm not sure what to think. Let's face it, there's probably a 95% chance she's evil...

Hahaha, apparently Hamilton throwing the trays out the window made all of the ships come back to earth. Only a Holt.... XD

NELLIE AND SAMMY ARE BACK!!!! YAY!!!!! AND THEY'RE ALIVE!!! Well, for now.

I loved Nellie and Alek's argument about Irina. It was seriously awesome.

Wow. Reading Grace's kill order was intense. But it definitely didn't seem like she killed him just because he wanted a divorce. "N.H. has become a threat to more than just the tranquility of my home." "This is the hardest order I have ever given." Obviously he did something else. I also find it interesting that Irina and Alek's dad apparently killed him. I wonder if he's even more involved? 

I'm still wondering if Nathaniel is alive. And I also find it horrible that no one stood up for Vladimir Spasky- although maybe he did more evil than I'm currently aware..

I find it interesting that Alek didn't just shoot them, he instead left this with the possibility of getting free. Maybe there's more of his sister in him than I thought? Fingers crossed they both make it out.

Oh my gosh, Ian...you can't bribe police!!! So smart, yet so, so dumb...

I find it hilarious that they're just letting Ham go to jail XD

They got another text from the outcast- a poem with the line 'a boy falling out of the sky'. Dan still wasn't back. 

This is interesting! The parts with Nellie and Sammy are definitely my favorites. Now I need to know- what happened to Dan???

~Irina Spasky, Beyond The Grave

I love this quote. Irina is such a great character. Jude Watson developed her so beautifully.

Also, I just have to say- in Mission Titanic, everyone is saying how Grace was really evil. If Grace were evil, surely Irina wouldn't think of her as being so kind? If she were evil, she wouldn't have been kind to Irina, would she?

Today's Quote- With Yet Another Parallel

~Mission Titanic

But Wait!!!!!

Did anyone else notice that that sounds.....familiar? Like something else we've heard before? Maybe...in Book 6, perhaps? Which, coincidentally, is another Jude Watson book?

Jude Watson, I love you.
