Overall Thoughts
I am now ready to let out ALL my thoughts, ideas, and impressions of The Never List, so let's get into it!
There was so much going on in this book that had me questioning things from the beginning. The Kings, the Faders, Rylee's sister, the guys, their powers, and what was really happening behind the scenes.
And I definitely had some people on my radar from the start.
Turner... I Was Waiting
First, the guard we meet.
I was hoping he would get his ass beat by one of the princes because he was a nasty piece of work. We all know Turner would blackmail Rylee, so I was worried he might go to the Kings and snitch for a bump in his status. I already wanted Turner to get his ass beat or at least put in his place. And I had to wait for it, but eventually...
IT HAPPENED!!!
The Choosing
I liked how we got to see Rylee and her friends get ready and hear their side of how the Choosing works and what to expect. But I loved how we also see the guys and how they aren't really excited about it either. They don't want to deal with this crap, but they have to, especially since it's Jax's time to pick.
Jax already seems very moody and hostile toward his father, but we don't really understand this heated bond between them yet. We start to see that his dad is the worst King, in my opinion, and he has the power to control and manipulate your body, which we learn he seems to do for fun.
Then we see Jax, Kal, Pierce, and Axl together. They seem like brothers and are in this together. They know the pressure is truly getting to all of them, but they also notice something going on in the background with the Kings and the new threat.
The Kings fear the threat overseas, not the one right in front of them.
