Posted by Rebekah on September 25, 2008 at 06:49 PM EDT #

OH MY GAWD!!!! I love you!!! i dont know how you do it but you are amazing!!! how do you think of all this fantasic stuff!!! i am not as smart as i think i am because i found out when reed did!!!!!! i had no clue!!! thank you so much for being an the best and amazing author!!! i absolutely love your writing and Private is my favorite series!!!! thank you so much!! kisses :)

Posted by Rachel on September 25, 2008 at 07:08 PM EDT #

oh my gosh! i new it all along! i had my suspicions she wasn't just a good little girl. but really, u HAVE to do sumthing about the cliff hanger at the end. really? you could put it in perhaps noelles perspective at what happenes after that, did reed just faint, did she die? it is one thing to have a cliff hanger in the middle of a series, but on the last book? i need more!!! (P.s.:they are my favorite series ever!!!)

Posted by Michelle on September 25, 2008 at 07:48 PM EDT #

Nice updates to the website Kate! It's amazing! I was definately confused when reading REVELATION. I mean, first Marc looked suspicious then Amberly. And why Astrid was kicked out. It was a total surprise to find out it was Sabine. I was glad to read that you had some parts with Reed talking to Gage and Trey. It was a total shocker that Sabine is Ariana's sister! And when Sabine took out the gun and pointed it towards Trey's heart! AH! OMG! Only 11 more days!? Dang, can NOT wait! "A whole lot more to the story..." OMG! What does that mean?

Posted by Jacqueline on September 25, 2008 at 07:55 PM EDT #

Revelation was great! Although, I did guess that it was Sabine the whole time; It was still very good. But I was very suprised when it was said that she was Ariana's sister. I didn't guess that! I also can't wait for Paradise Lost. I'm counting the days till February! This is one of my favorite series!

Posted by Imogene on September 25, 2008 at 07:55 PM EDT #

OMG AMAZING START TO LAST CHRISTMAS I READ THE SNEEK PEEK AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! I NEED TO READ IT...ONLY 11 MORE DAYS!!!!

Posted by Becki on September 25, 2008 at 08:09 PM EDT #

REVELATION was GREATTT! i loved it. i read it in like an hour! you are a greta writer! I cant wait to see what happened between ariana and thomas..... and to know the real thomas.. i love your books, keep writing!

Posted by Morgan Williams on September 25, 2008 at 08:16 PM EDT #

MORGAN: I totally agree with you. I can't wait to read about Ariana and Thomas too! I mean, I really liked Thomas though we didn't really get to know him. Thomas is such...a bad boy. LOL. But I took it really hard when I found out he was MURDERED! OMG! It's definately going to be interesting reading LAST CHRISTMAS. Thomas is definately into those quiet girls. (Reed and Ariana)

Posted by Jacqueline on September 25, 2008 at 08:22 PM EDT #

OMG i love the PRIVATE series!! but i've been so busy lately and haven't gotten around to reading revelation yet! =( & lol i just read all of these comments. i'm definately going to buy revelation this weekend!! so excited!

Posted by Joyce on September 25, 2008 at 08:42 PM EDT #

Omg revelation was soooo good. i had no clue it was sabine; i mean she acted like a really good friend!!!!!!!! I think Paradise Lost should come out before Last Christams, i totally agree with u guys and i cant wait till February!!!!!!!!!!!1

Posted by Jagoda on September 25, 2008 at 08:45 PM EDT #

omg... im dying here!!!!!! (i know everyone else is too) :] i love these books! i was soooo surprised but i accidentaly read a spoiler. :[ so i knew it was sabine the whole time. but it was still like the best thing ever!!!!!! cant wait til february!!!! i luv u kate! xoxo :D

Posted by Mary Scraggle on September 25, 2008 at 09:04 PM EDT #

OMG 14TH COMMENT I LOVE REVELATION. NOW I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE 9TH ONE COMES OUT. KEEP ON WRITING GOOD BOOKS KATE.

Posted by Siobhan on September 25, 2008 at 09:09 PM EDT #

OMG! I loved this book! However, i was so sad when I found out that Sabine was the murderer. I thought that it was Amberly the entire time! I found out right when Reed did. I was so excited that Reed and Ivy finally became friends though. I have been waiting for that to happen! :) But I am confused still because I think Reed died but then I just have no idea. Was it her or Josh? I was so pumped that he attempted to save her though! :) What is Paridise Lost? Is that the next book? I thought that this was the last one. Someone please tell me I was wrong. I hope there is another! Private is my favorite series! Can't wait until Last Christmas! :) Keep it up Kate!

Posted by Jordan Irene Graham on September 25, 2008 at 09:09 PM EDT #

cant wait for last christmas it looks really good just cant wait!!!!

Posted by jennie on September 25, 2008 at 09:41 PM EDT #

Omg guys! You have to read the Last Christmas first chapter on the site! It has another prologue chapter that wasn't in the back of Revelation about the night Ariana murdered Thomas! Its insane dude! I was crying. Poor Thomas...=[

Posted by marisa on September 25, 2008 at 10:03 PM EDT #

omg I seriously cant waut until Paradise Lost!! I'd switch the dates for Paradise lost and Last Christmas ANY day :p omg omg I NEED to kno what happens to Reed I'm like addicted to these books!

Posted by Maria on September 25, 2008 at 10:07 PM EDT #

Woah. This was so far my favorite out of the series. I had NOOO idea it was Sabine. I was way beyond surprised, after finishing the book I seriously sat there for at least 5 minutes in shock from everything, thinking back to the clues that it was Sabine in all the other books, and did Josh get shot or did Reed ? Ahhhh such a cliff hanger ! These books are way beyond awesome and I'm so glad I discovered them ! I can't wait for last Christmas, keep up the good work Kate !

Posted by Sarah ! on September 25, 2008 at 10:11 PM EDT #

OMG! I can't beleive what happened in Revelation. I cannot believe who the real killer was, SUCH A SHOCKER! I still can't wait for Last Christmas to come out, my mind is racing... what happened????

Posted by REBECCA on September 25, 2008 at 11:02 PM EDT #

OMG OMG OMG DID SHE DIE!?!?!? sorry for people who are reading the comments and havent read the book but i HAVE TO ASK. im Freaking oUT here! Amazing series my teacher saw me reading it and even she said that it was an amazing novel and written well.! BUT I WANT THE NEXT BOOK! It would be so horrible if she died after finding out that NOTHING was her fault!!!!!! Omg! That would be such a bittersweet moment!

Posted by Kristina !!!! on September 25, 2008 at 11:16 PM EDT #

I know i dont want anyone else to die it would be to much death but ughhh reed and josh have to get back together and reed has to get back into billings!

Posted by Sheila on September 25, 2008 at 11:50 PM EDT #

I can not wait until Last Christmas comes out!! I'm super excited! and I'm counting down the days until Paradise Lost comes out!! (I'm not sure if I can wait that long). Reed and Josh both have to be ok!! they belong together!

Posted by Kelsie on September 26, 2008 at 10:30 AM EDT #

OMG! i loved revelation sooo much! im really curious about what happened before Reed came but i wish that Lost Paradise would come out faster. i just wanna know who died and if josh and reed get bak together! i don't think reed should forgive noelle and the rest of the billings girls so easily. they were so rude and mean to her!

Posted by Cordelia on September 26, 2008 at 02:06 PM EDT #

NOOO, of course Reed didn't die. Well I'd rather her than Josh believe it or not. But Yeahhhh. I was utterly peed in the last blog cause of what happened to Josh. I was LITERALLY pulling out my hair. Well when I was holding my hair a few strands came out, but that still counts. Right? Oh yeah and we don't really know if josh got shot.

Posted by Niya on September 26, 2008 at 04:50 PM EDT #

Oh yeah and I was thinking.. You know that email that Reed got from dash in ambition but she never read it?? Wells, what if the email said that he knew that ecstasy was in his drink cause he does a sport in college, and if he does play a sport doesnt that mean that hed have to have regular urine tests? Yeah what if he failed the test and yeahh thats when he found out, but couldnt tell reed cause of noelle?? Just sayin'.

Posted by Niya on September 26, 2008 at 04:55 PM EDT #

omg! in the preveiw of last christmas it was so sad when arriana killed thomas!! and he was like, i love her!! ok now i like thomas ALOT more[josh is still my fav tho] and how come her old bf wasnt in an of the books? that daniel guy. hmmm .

Posted by Mary on September 26, 2008 at 05:01 PM EDT #

HELP ME!!!! Im trying to read the sneak peek but it keeps directing me to adobe. Is there any chance that any of you are computer genuises. or however you spell it.

Posted by Niya on September 26, 2008 at 05:05 PM EDT #

Posted by Niya on September 26, 2008 at 05:06 PM EDT #

OMG! Revelation was the best book out of all of the Private books! I screamed at the end! LOL, I want to read more!!!!! Can't wait for, Last Christmas, Paradise Lost And I heard that the book after Paradise Lost is called Suspicion! Sounds so good!! <33 Lauren

Posted by Lauren on September 26, 2008 at 05:33 PM EDT #

OMG! Revelation was so good! I think that neither Reed or Josh got shot (If Josh got shot, I would literally commit suicide) But, I think that maybe Noelle did, because you know how she was behind Reed? And Josh pushed Reed out of the way, and Sabine didn't see it?! She just closed her eyes and shot! So I don't think they got shot, because 2 dead boyfriends, that's to much. Team Josh!

Posted by Lo on September 26, 2008 at 05:39 PM EDT #

I loved this book so much. Except the cliff hanger at the end is killing me! I can't wait until Last Christmas. I absolutely loved Thomas, even though he wasn't there long. It's gonna be amazing to have him back again (:

Posted by Mel on September 26, 2008 at 05:45 PM EDT #

Niya, you could be on to something with dash saying there was drug in his drink. Omg, i really cnt wait until paradise lost...i hope that reed + josh r ok! that would suck if one of them died. I really think that Josh pushed reed out of the way, and the shot was hit to noelle or whoever was standing behind Reed.

Posted by Ambika on September 26, 2008 at 05:51 PM EDT #

omgg!!! i cant wait for Last Christmas!!!! i am like totally ready to find out what happens lol i cant wait kate you r amazing i just hope that you dont make josh die dont put reed through another dead bf!!!!! you are fantastic keep writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gilmoregril3232

Posted by lauren dale on September 26, 2008 at 06:29 PM EDT #

Kate. I seriously love you! I don't mean to sound creepy, btw. REVELATION WAS BEYOND AH-MAZING AND SHOCKING! I never, EVER would have suspected Sabine to have killed Cheyenne and be Ariana's sister!!! Best book in the series yet. I am also glad that Josh and Reed are at least talking again... But what happened to Reed!!?? Sabine and the gun... and Josh jumping in front of Reed... and everything going black??!!! AHHHHH! I cannot wait until Paradise Lost, not to mention the awesome prequel and spin-off!!! U r truly ah-mazing Kate. Keep writing!!! xoxo Blair

Posted by Blair on September 26, 2008 at 06:36 PM EDT #

Oh my god!!!! Revelation was amazing i couldnt believe the ending!!! But i need to know if Last christmas is going to say what had happened! If it doesnt im going to die!

Posted by cocco cline on September 26, 2008 at 07:10 PM EDT #

Posted by Jaime on September 26, 2008 at 08:16 PM EDT #

Like everyone else, I must say Revelation was amazing! And lucky for me, I gots the prequel early! I've just started it and can't wait to find out the scandal why Ariana turned psyco! Hugs!

Posted by allison on September 27, 2008 at 09:54 AM EDT #

I was wondering are you going to change to models every four books of the Private Series or are you ging to keep these models for longer?

Posted by Addie on September 27, 2008 at 10:07 AM EDT #

hey kate, i love your books. i friended you on myspace, too (: i was just popping in on your site and decided to leave a comment. first off: thank you for making this series! it's amazing and you make every deadline with - so far - no complaints. go you! and now, i just have to say one negative thing: i saw the cover of paradise lost and the girl on the cover scares me every time i see her. she's gorg, but i feel creeped outt. i loved the girls on the first four covers, though. keep writing, tori !?

Posted by tori loves private ?! on September 27, 2008 at 11:22 AM EDT #

Omg i can't believe Sabine killed Cheyenne and shes Arianas sister. I so wish Paradise LOst came before Last Christmas, even though I want to read them both. I hope in Paradise Lost Reed and Josh are okay and alive. Kate would you post the first chapter of Paradise Lost because Febuary is a long time to wait to see what happens to Reed and Josh. By the way I love all your books, not only the private series!

Posted by Daniella on September 27, 2008 at 11:32 AM EDT #

OMG! REVELATION WAS THE BEST! I CAN'T WAIT TILL FEBRUARY FOR LOST PARADISE! BUT OMG WHAT IS LOST PARADISE SUPPOSED TO MEAN?? DOES IT MEAN JOSH OR NOELLE GET KILLED?! KATE YOU GOTTA PUT UP THE FIRST CHAPTER TO PARADISE LOST. IM DYING TO KNOWW! P.S. I REALLY HOPE IT WASN'T JOSH WHO GOT SHOT HE IS THE BESST!

Posted by Megan on September 27, 2008 at 11:57 AM EDT #

Omg ! did you guys read last Last Christmas the seek peek i cant believe that Ariana killed Thomas so scary.i cant wait for Last Christmas and Paradise Lost

Posted by prviate lover on September 27, 2008 at 12:28 PM EDT #

Posted by Natalia on September 27, 2008 at 01:51 PM EDT #

i always thought sabine was dark skinned too. the covers get me confused. i know who some of the peoople are bt others im a lil confused.

Posted by kaylee on September 27, 2008 at 01:54 PM EDT #

the covers always have me confused too, but i think it isn't supposed to be anyone in particular

Posted by Megan on September 27, 2008 at 02:50 PM EDT #

OMG Revelation had the most crazy ending! Sabine! who would have thought. i still cant believe that she was the one who did it. how cruel. ugh, that ending! totally left me hanging! did she die? did she live? what happen?!

Posted by admire on September 27, 2008 at 03:24 PM EDT #

OMG i absolutly loved 'Revelation, i was hooked to it. How do you come up with these phenomenal ideas. the end was shocking, what happened to reed? the cliff hanger at the end left me thinking, and i'm itcing to read "paradise lost" excited that last christmas is coming out but i wish it was pardise lost was coming out. again revelation was awsome but I want reed back in Billings, thats my number one wish. also i hope this series never ends

Posted by ella on September 27, 2008 at 03:48 PM EDT #

Kate Brian, you are my hero. OMG That book was amazing!!! So unexpected. I really like Sabine's character. So are you considering making a TV series for your books? Now I wish i had waited a little bit more to read Revelation (well, I waited 11 days, but still...) because now I'm itching to read Last Christmas. I LOVE YOU KATE BRIAN, && I hope I'll get to meet you someday, because you are my inspiration.

Posted by Kanel on September 27, 2008 at 04:32 PM EDT #

Posted by gilmoregirl3232 on September 27, 2008 at 04:44 PM EDT #

Posted by kaylee on September 28, 2008 at 12:03 PM EDT #

I can't believe that Sabine really killed Cheyanne no one would have susspested her. I didn't even know her last mame was Osgodd! I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Posted by Carson on September 28, 2008 at 12:15 PM EDT #

Posted by kaylee on September 28, 2008 at 02:12 PM EDT #

Yeah I just read the chapter of last CHRISTmas, jkjkjk, and it was way better than i thought. WELL THE BEGINNING WHEN ARIANNA KILLED THOMAS. Cause I read the rest in the back of Revelation. Ariannas a b..... at first I really loved Thomas when he died I cried and when Reed was with Josh I was like who cares about friggin Josh find Thomas! But then I grew to love Josh and now hes my fave 4 sure.... God bless his little soul *sniff* *sniff*

Posted by Niya on September 28, 2008 at 02:20 PM EDT #

Oh yeah and KATE, I know this might be too much to handle but ARE WE GONNA HAVE A TV SERIES or a Movie? Id rather a tv series. Like seriously, we have to have one. It'd be fun watching Josh and Reed and Thomas and Arianna on tv. Then I'll show my friends who dont like reading and then theyll love it and start stacking up on Private books.

Posted by Niya on September 28, 2008 at 02:23 PM EDT #

Mmmm my hair smells sooo good...

Posted by Niya on September 28, 2008 at 02:24 PM EDT #

wow NIYA-that was kinda weird......no jk [i smell my hair all the time] lol....but if they do a TV show or a movie, id rather it be a tv show. unless theere will be sequals to the movie. but id rather they dont do either.

Posted by Mary on September 28, 2008 at 04:05 PM EDT #

i found out when reedd did for sure. i love your books they are amazing. i cant wait till the paradise lost book comes out im scared to see what happens with josh. did he die :( i hope not! i love him and reed together. its sad when they arent since she loves him. can you tell us if he dies?

Posted by Brandy on September 28, 2008 at 04:17 PM EDT #

I really hope Josh is and Reed are ok and i really hope nothing bad happens to them cause that part had me going because i was really worried , but other than that i loved the book , it was great

Posted by Utshana on September 28, 2008 at 04:22 PM EDT #

Posted by biz on September 28, 2008 at 05:48 PM EDT #

Omg i read the first part of Last Christmas on the site..omg Ariana is insane!!! Oh what did they mean about thoes things they did? I cnt wait until Last Christmas comes out!!! Need more Thomas! I Love him and Josh!!

Posted by Ambika on September 28, 2008 at 06:00 PM EDT #

I absolutely loved Revelation! But I'm dying to know, will you write a book that continues what happened at the end? I saw that Last Christmas is about what happened before Reed got to Easton, but will there be a book that tells what happened at the end of Revelation?

Posted by Hannah on September 28, 2008 at 07:28 PM EDT #

Dear Kate Brian, I bought Revelation on the Sixteenth, but only started it yesterday because I had to reread the series; the intervals between each due date are so long I forgot everything that had happened. I really liked this book, but I knew the ending because I made the mistake of letting my friend read it before me and she blurted out the ending when she handed it back to me. (Word-for-word, by the way.) I didn't talk to her for the rest of the day. You're one of my favorite authors, along with Stephenie Meyers and Jodi Picoult, but your cliff-hangers are starting to aggravate me. It's like my own personal hell when I finish one of your books and have to wait another three months for the next one. Just keep writing and try to digress from the cliff-hangers. -Josie

Posted by josie on September 28, 2008 at 08:08 PM EDT #

omg. i finished the book a while ago but i just cant get over it! its soooooo brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love them. i really hope josh or noelle dont get shot, they r my favs. :] i cant wait for feb!!!! and i hope that the models for the books change for the next one. i favorite models were the first 4 books but the others were awesome too. :D i love u kate!!!!!! xoxo gossip girl. haha jk. :P

Posted by scragglemuffin on September 28, 2008 at 08:18 PM EDT #

omg omg omg! i ordered last christmas from amazon cause they have it in stock and just finished reading it ten minutes ago. IT SHOCKING! i can't believe what ariana did it was so crazy and now that i know the truth about everything i'm freaking out. i'm out of breath! kate i love your books!

Posted by casey on September 28, 2008 at 08:34 PM EDT #

OMG!!!!!!!!!! i was sooo hooked to revelation that i read it in and hour and a half.....please tell me that reed is ok and that ur going to write more of those b/c u left a bunch of things unsaid like: Is Josh ok? What happened with Sabine? Did anybody get shot and/or killed? this is really eating at me and i need to know!!!!!!!!! :)

Posted by Paige Kapus on September 28, 2008 at 09:04 PM EDT #

Woahh. I read "Revelation" this Friday night (staying up till 1 in the morning on Saturday just to finish), and it was amazing! I just recently got hooked onto the "Private" books, and I finished all of them all in like a week. I was soo suprised about the ending in "Revelation" though. I mean, wow. It was kind of a big suprise to me. I don't think Reed will die though, because I mean, there's another book coming out, so Reed shouldn't die, since all the books are in her point of view anyway. And Josh shouldn't die either, because then Reed wouldn't have anyone to love anymore. Plus I really, really, really like/love Josh! He's a reaally great guy, and he shouldn't die. I really want to know what happens in "Paradise Lost" now! Wow, I'm really in love with the "Private" books now. Thank you Kate Brian for writing such wonderful books! I can't wait until "Last Christmas" comes out, and then "Priviledge" and "Paradise Lost" and all the other "Private" books! Yay!

Revalation was one of the most amazing books ever. I hate to have that cliff hanger in the end though! It just ruined me i need more I'm basically addicted. Also i want to know what the next book is about, from other blogs i learned its called Paradise Lost and it comes out in Febuary! That's a very long time I think I might die. But I can't wait for this new prequel it sounds excitinggggg! Kate your the best! Keep writing!

oh yeahh and if you guys are crazy about these books like me and have little things remind you of parts in the book... listen to this song its called WALK YOU HOME by KARMINA it reminds me of reed and josh and how everyone was affected by thomas and cheyanne's death. its like how noelle is for reed before the dash thing and how i see josh feeling for reed becasue he really shows how much he cares in this book! tell me what all you guys think =]]

Posted by bianca on September 29, 2008 at 05:02 PM EDT #

omg, i just finished reading revelation. it was amazing. i'm happy about last christmas and all but dang!!!! i need to read what happens to reed and josh. i mean, IS REED DEAD? Is she gonna get back into billings?!?!? Are her and ivy friends now? are her and noelle friends now? what the heck was josh going to say to her when they were going to be "alone"? and is sabine in the freak place were ariana was/is? ahhhhh i need to know, i'm going to die if i don't find out you have got to help me out here and boost up the date for paradise lost! (i'm guessing thats the next book with reed back in it...i'm not sure but thats what it said in some of the comments although i have not seen it for myself.) you really need to put that out there so people know its coming out...and you should put up a chapter(((: i love your books and i have read all of them 3 times over.

Posted by brittney on September 29, 2008 at 05:40 PM EDT #

No no no no no no no no!!!!!!! I GOTTA find out what happens!!!!!!!! Did Reed get shot?!?!?! OMG!!!!!!!!! That was AMAZING!!! T totally didn't see it coming. I was reading and thinking "The killer is probably going to be somebody completely unexpected, like Josh, or Rose or Portia or Noelle." I even think I thought Sabine, but I didn't really think it would be true!!!! AWWWW! I LIKED Sabine! I wish I'd had a friend like her. Well, not really, but, how she was BEFORE. When she was.......pretending......hm. Still. Does Paradise Lost really not come out until February? I thought it was January! You CAN NOT make me wait that long!!! I just finished it and I'm so depressed! I always get this way after finishing books I'm obsessed with, and the thought of having to wait Until FEBRUARY is not going over well with me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post the first chapter!!!!!

Posted by Jessie on September 29, 2008 at 06:29 PM EDT #

revalation was great. can u please but a chapter on paradise lost but i guess u cant bc that will give away who died or not. i think reed just fainted bc u know how she is. but i REALLY hope her and josh get back together. and Last Christmas is sooo good soooo far haha. but i hope the series keeps on going on and on and on. like my whole SCHOOL loves it no joke. LOVE YA KATE!!!!

Posted by rebecca on September 29, 2008 at 06:35 PM EDT #

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG i cannot believe how that book just ended. I actually thought for a second that it might be Sabine but then I let it go. I never possibly imaged that it could be related with Ariana!!!! OMG its going to be so hard to wait for Feb.!!!!! I don't think i can do it!!!! ahhh please release it sooner if you can!!! omg when i read the last part i thought i still had more to go because of the sneak peak to Last Christmas but i turned the page and was like NNOOOOO!!! omg that book was so good, great job on writing it!!!!! :)

Posted by Sarah on September 29, 2008 at 06:45 PM EDT #

ive been addicted to these books pretty much. im telling everyone about them! haha and especially with the ending to revelation i can not stop talking about them!!! ahh could you please tell us what happens or in this next book give us a sneek peak to it!? that would be incredibly awesome!!!! ahh i already ordered last christmas =] it should be here thursday! im a huge fan! keep up the awesome plots and characters! your amazing!

Posted by Brandy on September 29, 2008 at 07:08 PM EDT #

who does everyone think that Arianna killed other than thomas? in the sneek peak thomas said "what are you going to do? kill me just like you killed..." ahhh i think it has somthing to do with ivys grandmother or Ariannas bf or somthing else.. what do you think?

Posted by Brandy on September 29, 2008 at 07:10 PM EDT #

OMG I CANNOT VISIT THIS COMMENT PAGE NE MORE BC ITS WAAAYY TOOO INTENSE I CANT VISIT THIS COMMENT PAGE BC I JUST CANT TAKE IT.. I SWEAR, IF PARADISE LOST ISNT ABOUT REED AND HOW SHE MAKES IT THROUGH THAT BULLET, I AM GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE, JK LOL BUT I WOULD BE VERY VERY VERY VERY VERRRYYYYY UPSET! LOL ILY KATE BRIAN I HOPE I WONT BE DISSAPOINTED ABOUT PARAIDISE LOST :)

Posted by Sam on September 29, 2008 at 07:11 PM EDT #

. last christmas sounds reallyy good but im dyning to kno what happenss to reed and joshh and noellee and sabinee andd EVERRRYYB0DDY!! lol

Posted by Lia on September 29, 2008 at 07:28 PM EDT #

hmm.. in response to Brandy's comment.. i think that the sergi guy who kept taking pictures of them took a picture of Thomas and Arianna hooking up or somthing scandelous and so she killed him? haha that might not be extream enough for murder but i hope this next book talks about ariannas mother and why thomas said shes insane and stuff. idk i cant wait to read last christmas, privledge, and most especially PARADISE LOST!!!!!

Posted by Ana on September 29, 2008 at 07:31 PM EDT #

omj omj omj cant believe that book it was so good def my fav so far except the ending i wish it would have told what happened to josh or reed cuz im worried bout cutie josh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :[

Posted by jennie on September 29, 2008 at 08:15 PM EDT #

WHAT THE HECK? WHY DID REED DIE?

Posted by meg on September 29, 2008 at 10:03 PM EDT #

Dude this book was awsome. But I will die myself if Reed or Josh dies. I cant wait for Paradise Lost. Love you Kate!

Posted by tori fitz on September 29, 2008 at 10:35 PM EDT #

reed did NOT die.

Posted by Kayla on September 29, 2008 at 11:07 PM EDT #

i think sabine was shot by the cops? or reed/josh was shot in the shoulder. but i dont think that anyone died. esp. not josh. reed can not have 2 dead boyfriends nor can she have 3 people dead becasue of her. no way just no way did she or josh die. i think sabine dies and arianna escapes when she goes to sabines funeral.

Posted by Katie on September 29, 2008 at 11:10 PM EDT #

also i dont think that we have met the character that Arianna killed other than thomas of course. shes so insane.

Posted by Katie on September 29, 2008 at 11:12 PM EDT #

okayy so i've been at work for 8 loooong hours thinking about this last book and who else ariana could have killed... i think i might be on to something... what if she killed that daniel guy, you know her boyfriend in the sneak peak of last christmas becasue he sounded like the insane type to go and like get crazy if ariana tried to leave him so she killed him to be with thomas. it makes sense for thomas to compare him and daniel seeing as they were both ariana's love interests. ahhh i don't know. and i think that ariana actually gets out of prison. becasue i mean the next book is called privilege... does that mean she gets another chance? and i'm seriously upset that everyone is getting last christmas already i can't find it anywhere!!!! help anyone? por favor? =]

Posted by Megan on September 30, 2008 at 02:13 AM EDT #

*CORRECTION* in my last post when i said "the next book is called privilege..." well i meant the new series about ariana. Just to clear that up so no one is like WHAAA i thought the next one was lost paradise or whateverrr lol

Posted by Megan on September 30, 2008 at 03:40 AM EDT #

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DONT HAVE JOSH DIE. I WOULD RATHER HAVE REED DIE THAN JOSH UNBELIEVABLY. BUT IF SOMEONE DIED, THAT WOULD BE WAY TO MUCH DEATH AND THE STORY WOULD BECOME JUST PLAIN OLD DEPRESSING. EVEN THOUGH THE STORY SAID JOSH RUSHED TOWARDS REED, DOESNT MEAN HE GOT IN FRONT OF THE BULLET!! HOPEFULLY HE PUSHED REED OUT OF THE WAY WITH HIM AND NO ONE GOT SHOT. I HOPE NOBODY DIED. REED AND JOSH ARE JUST MEANT TO BE TOGETHER.

Posted by Sara B on September 30, 2008 at 11:43 AM EDT #

yah megan-good point, she could have killed daniel. b/c he wasnt in any of the other books. i was wondering about that, but if hes dead, he cant be in the books. makes sence

Posted by Mary on September 30, 2008 at 05:28 PM EDT #

OMG OMG OMG.i just keep reading the end over and over again it is so intense!!!! oooo please put a ch. of paradise lost online. also please dont let josh die!!!! he is sooo good and i think if he lives they will get back together. but um..... have you guys noticed the next book is called paradise lost meaning reed's paradise is lost, what is josh is her "paradise" and he is lost (killed)!!!!! i have a bad feeling he is going to die!!!! omg but i hope i am wrong i think ill cry if he dies!!! great job on the book i think it is one of my faves so far! : )

Posted by Sarah J on September 30, 2008 at 06:32 PM EDT #

OMG!!!! I can't believe it was Sabine!!!! TOTALLY UNEXPECTED!!! Can't believe we have to wait til' Febuary to know what happened!! I finished it about an hour ago and it's already killing me!!! How can we all wait 5 months!!! I am sooooooo excited! I can't stop thinking about it!!! I LOVE this series!! I've read all the ones so far in 2 weeks! I can't stop! They're AMAZING!! Thanks so much! Keep writing! P.S I hope Reed,Josh, Noelle, and everyone is gonna be okay!

Posted by Tori on September 30, 2008 at 06:53 PM EDT #

ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! omg omg omg! are you seriously ending the private books!?!?!?!? someone said on that you said on your official website that after paradise lost a book called suspicions come out and that will be the last book of the series!!!!! DO NOT END THE SERIES PLEASEEEEEE DO NOT END THIS SERIES!!! PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT END THE SERIES THEY ARE AMAZING. i just read last christmas. i feel bad for arianna but i kind of hate her even more at the same time. shes seriously insane and im glad shes in a mental place

Posted by Katie on September 30, 2008 at 07:35 PM EDT #

Omg! Revelation was ah-mazing!!! I cannot believe that Sabaine is Arianna's sister! What a twist in the story! I wish that Paradise Lost would come out sooner! I just hope that Josh and Reed will be ok. Please don't stop writing the Private series they are just sooo good to read!!!

Posted by Amanda on September 30, 2008 at 07:49 PM EDT #

This book was aaamazing but im so upset cuz i really dont get what the ending means...does someone die or jus get hurt or does nothing happen?!?! whats going on??

Posted by Sydney on September 30, 2008 at 07:57 PM EDT #

Well I have my thoughts on the ending of Revelation, and i definetly don't think Reed or Josh is dead, and after that, i think Noelle will forgive Reed, but i think things might still be too weird between Reed and Josh for them to get back together.

Posted by Rebecca on September 30, 2008 at 08:01 PM EDT #

oops! my comment got posted twice by accident!

Posted by Rebecca on September 30, 2008 at 08:03 PM EDT #

This book was amazing! But pleas don't tell me that Reed really died? I think you should write another book that continues the series.

Posted by Jordan on September 30, 2008 at 08:27 PM EDT #

ok I think i'm having a mental breakdown I CAN'T READ THE SNEAK PEAK OF LAST CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who can help, or better yet mail it to me. gosh I'm going crazy

Posted by ella on September 30, 2008 at 09:28 PM EDT #

I read the sneak peek of Last Christmas, and it's great! At the end of Revelation the first chapter just didn't grab my attention. But I read the prologue...and it was awesome! It had me at the edge of my seat. I'm just wondering; Who else did she kill? The suspense!

Posted by Imogene on September 30, 2008 at 11:05 PM EDT #

i loved all your books in the private series my fav. was Ambition.I loved how Noelle started being reeds friend but i dont think reed was being wrong with dash. she had no clue they where getting back together and i think noelle sent it to everybody. Any way i kinda feel sorry for ivy but josh is wrong i liked thomas better than. PEACE OUT!?!?!?!? CHRISSA

Posted by chrissa on October 01, 2008 at 12:49 AM EDT #

heyy i was bored and googled the private series and wikipedia tells you which characters are which on the cover of the very first book in the series and it said that kate was the one who gave the info. BUT don't get too excited because wikipedia information can be edited by anyone and it wasn't posted on here so... who knows may be right may be wrong but here's the link to the page if any of you are interested. it actually is pretty cool tells all about the characters too you just have to follow a couple more links off that page. oh yeah and it says the upcoming books.... the list stops after suspicion =[ please don't stop writing kate!! or atleast give us a happy ending.. Reed with Josh forever and Reed and Noelle as best friends lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_(novel_series)

Posted by Megan on October 01, 2008 at 03:03 AM EDT #

thanks for that link megan. i have a question though.. if you read it all it says that there is a trailer for inner circle. does anyone have a link for it? i cant find it on youtube.

Posted by Katie on October 01, 2008 at 04:47 PM EDT #

seriously i love these books! i cant wait! only 6 more dayss! and yes i must admit i found out the exacttt time that Reid did. i thought it was Amberly all along, that girl is a little bitchhh! but ya im really excited :]

Posted by samycia lewis on October 01, 2008 at 05:18 PM EDT #

Dear Kate, your writing is amazing. But I was just curious (trying not to spoil anything for those who have yet to read Revelation) are you planning on writing anymore Private novels, or is that finished? Here's hoping you have a few tricks up your sleeves. I am addicted to that particular series, and I need my fix <3

Posted by Jamie on October 01, 2008 at 06:54 PM EDT #

OH......My......Gawd!!!!! I can't wait any longer for Paradise Lost!!! PLEASE post it!!!! I've been thinking about the ending of Revelation all day long! I got in trouble like four times for "spacing out in class" But it's killing me to know if Reed, Josh, and even Noelle are okay! I mean WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED??? I thought about wat happened but can't think of any good conclusions!!! OH.....My.....GAWD!!!!

Posted by Tori on October 01, 2008 at 06:55 PM EDT #

I just read some of the comments and saw that many people have spolied the ending. So I am really hopeing that Reed finally gets the Senior Year she deserves, a boy she loves, Ivy & Noelle & Reed as friends, Reed back at Billings (not forgetting about her new friends though) oh and obviously Sabine locked up in a cell with her sister (confrontation between the three?) Anyway, Reed really deserves a happy ending, so I am really hoping everything goes black because of a concusion from Josh knocking her down, haha. Always hoping for the best =P Anyway, wonderful job with the ending, I had no clue Sabine was capable of anything that she did, but I guess thats the whole idea of the entire series. Please let us know that more novels (Private) are on the way!

Posted by Jamie on October 01, 2008 at 07:00 PM EDT #

I went out to buy it as soon as possible. It was great :) One of the best books yet. My friends suspected Sabine, but I didn't until it was obvious. I hope Reed and Noelle can be friends again, and Reed can be with Josh again. I actually like Ivy now, she's awesome. Keep up the good work! I can't wait for Last Christmas + Paradise Lost.

Posted by Krista on October 01, 2008 at 08:02 PM EDT #

First I'd like to say I love the Private series! You are an amzing author! I'm trying to get all my friends hooked so I can talk to someone about them. I never thought it could be her until the first few chapters of Revelation. Now I've gone back and read all the books and It makes perfec
