This is the last part in the Pyramid trilogy,and also the worst. In this part Tania Russof isn't in any hot scene and the story gets worse.But if you have part one and two,you also got to have this one,because if you don't it will not be a trilogy. One positive thing about part three is that it introduces Nikky Anderson which is really nice!She has later become on of the top girls. Don't miss out on this trilogy.

After 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!

Ominous By Kate Brian Pages: 212 Read: once on March 19, 2011 Series: Private, # 13 As always, possible spoilers, so beware. First Line : I couldn’t 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 don’t like magic, in fact I love magic. Harry Potter and Charmed are two of my favorite things in the world. I just wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 2003. 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 it’s a joke, which I can understand. That’s 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 didn’t 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 can’t believe Easton is even open considering all the stuff that has gone down) and Reed and Noelle head to Noelle’s 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 she’s 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 Martin’s mother who is a descendant of Helen Jennings and who blames Reed for everyone’s 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, the 14th and last novel in the series comes out September 2011
Buy? Rent? Borrow?
Buy! If you don’t 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. Final Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

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.

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 first 12 books 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 oh-i'm-a-witch-i-can-do-a-spell. 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 & Reed's friendship is no longer ruin. Ominous, from what I recognize, has a lot of what happened in the past & 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)

disappointed

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 all-time low after a roller-coaster ride it had been from book 2nd to 8th. 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 stabb

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.

13 (and one prequel) down, 1 (and a novella) to go! I've almost made it! Then I can be done with this crazy shit once and for all! The last 2 books have just made this all way too unbelievable and crazy. It started off as such an innocent dramatic series, and now it's swapped genres completely and it's something else altogether. No idea why Brian went down this route, and I really don't like it. But only got technically one more book to go, and I'll be done! Will finish them this month!

I had forgotten how intense these last few books are. Well, the whole series is intense, but I didn’t remember much about these last few books. Loads of crazy stuff happening and yet another crazy cliffhanger. How does Kate Brian do it???? I’m sad I only have one book left and my reread of this series will be complete. Then it’s on to Privilege for even more crazy!!!!

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 mythologically-based books that I've also been reading! It better not turn i

But now, a prequel featuring "A Book of Spells" ? This isn't Harry Potter or any of the fantasy mythologically-based 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 murder-mystery thriller to a sci-fi/fantasy, but I am still interested in reading the conclusion to the series, "Vengeance" .

it was amazing

Utterly preposterous, ridiculous, absurd, unbelievable, nonsensical, fabulous, unputdownable, and amazing. Combining the noir suspense and posh girl warfare of a regular Private book with the feel of The Craft crossed bizarrely with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Ominous continues the exceedingly entertaining shark jump that is the introduction of the supernatural into a previously "secular" series.

Utterly preposterous, ridiculous, absurd, unbelievable, nonsensical, fabulous, unputdownable, and amazing. Combining the noir suspense and posh girl warfare of a regular Private book with the feel of The Craft crossed bizarrely with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Ominous continues the exceedingly entertaining shark jump that is the introduction of the supernatural into a previously "secular" series. I love the way this book finally summed up, repeatedly, all of the insane shenanigans that have gone on -- Ariana, Cheyenne, Sabine, etc. -- making me kind of pine for the glory days of each. Interestingly, given that Privilege appears to be set at least one full year ahead of Private, and given how Pure Sin ended, we'll actually know Reed's ultimate fate in the final Privilege novel this June before we know her temporary fate in the final Private novel next September! Will witchcraft cross over at all into Privilege? Oddly, since this witchy twist is being brought in for the last few books, it makes everything so much more complicated and adds so many more potential twists that it's hard to guess how Kate Brian is going to wrap everything up in one more 208 page Private book. I truly don't see a need for either Private or Privilege to end, ever :)!
