Suspenseful. Extraordinary. Captivating.



I have been hearing about THE THOUSANDTH FLOOR for some time now, and it sounded something that I might enjoy. It was. I did not know what to expected when I started to read it, and it surprised me. Especially the ending, that…I am not sure that I can explain the feelings I was having, I feel as one of them were denial. From beginning I did wonder, which girl fell, and why? Did she jump? Was she pushed? I cannot imagine falling that far, and I cannot begin to imagine what must been going through her mind at that moment. I can see why quite few people enjoyed this book, it is filled with so much suspense. Not a singe page where you did not find yourself curious, of what would happen next. There were quite few secrets in this book, and I wondered how long it would take for them to get discovered, especially Avery’s secret. I could not get enough of these character, of their stories. I think that my favorite characters were Avery, Rylin and Eris. I liked the others but those three were the most interesting ones to read about. Leda, her I had conflicted feelings about, sometimes I liked her, and other times not so much, mostly based on her actions in the story, how she treated others. However as the book progressed more, as I got to know her, it more turned towards dislike. How she drugged Watt, just to find out who Atlas was seeing, and the ending, how she was willing blackmail everyone. I did not like that side of her. I feel as she did all of that, out of jealously and anger.



I loved reading from each of girl’s point of view, you get to know them better that way. I think that why I started to dislike Leda, because I saw her of who she really was. I wondered how she would feel about Eris, once she found the truth why she was with her dad that day. Eris, I hated how things ended for her, and when she was trying to help someone, and it ended so tragic. I really liked her and I couldn’t believe it that it was the end for her. That part, it made me cry. I just hope the truth about what happened to her will come out. I wish everyone did not agree to Leda’s lie so fast, but at the same time I understood why they did, she had something on everyone. The ending in THE THOUSANDTH FLOOR had me craving for the next book series. How could I not wonder what’s going to happen next. Most of all the truth of what happened that night at the party. I know for fact that I am going pick up next book in the series right away. I need to know what happens with everyone next. THE THOUSANDTH FLOOR reminded me a lot of Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl mixed with fantasy and a lot more drama. A series that you don’t want to miss.
