What an entertaining box set story this was!  I wasn't sure where the story was going but the big reveal was sooo not expected and had me completely hooked!Oh, how I absolutely loved the main character, even though some of his decisions at times, mentally and emotionally frustrated me.I was able to predict the motives of some of the characters quite quickly and I couldn't forgive most of them. I held a grudge against them that hasn't lifted, even now!  And, I really did lose all respect for Leila and hated her by the end.This story had me blissfully confused, worried, angry, happy, broken hearted, scared, frustrated, and excited with every new revealing development and I appreciated the ending.  Great read for sure!BIG TIME SPOILER...No...SERIOUSLY...SPOILER BELOW.....10....9....8...7..6.5.4.3.2.1.Oh My God!  Was any one else disgusted and pissed off when they all turned their back on Reid, after everything he did for them???I wanted to strangle him when he went back to help them. Oh and Leila, I was so annoyed with her, every time she went to Marcus.  This dude was tossingthe weak out to save his own skin, he was heartless and cruel, every decision he made for the group was stupid, and he almost got Reid killed, on purpose...TWICE!!!  But little Ms. Perfect had to coddle Marcus with sympathy every chance she got, which was a slap in Reid's face!Still, I was completely floored, when each and every one of them chose to stay with Marcus.  I mean... every one, including the girl he slapped!!! Seriously?! She stays with the person who hit her and turns her back on the person that defended her. None of it made sense to me. Ugh!!But it was when Leila and Milo both turned their backs on Reid, (especially Leila) that was the final blow that did it for me.No matter what they did after that, I only saw them as backstabbing traitors and could not muster up any type of forgiveness for them.  I desperately wanted Ashley to be the girl by his side that he never had to question if she has his back, no matter what.Oh, how I wanted that so bad (even if only for a little while) and rub it in Leila's face, like she did to him with Marcus! -sigh-Ok, so enough about my personal angst against Reid's best friends.This was such an awesome read!!!
