Okay, so in episode 8, we where left knowing that Avvi had been brainwashed and who was behind it. In episode 9, we pick up right where we left off. This episode focuses a lot on the guys reaction to her new personality. They are all worried about this new change in her and they want to know who is behind it and how to get there beloved Avvi back to her normal self.
These memories that Roseman implanted are so vivid and real to Avvi. Not only that, but many of the facts she learned through her trip down "memory lane" are real. How did Roseman even know about some of these things, like secret passages to Paden's bedroom! No one is safe, not Avvi, and not the boys. They need to change her back and get away from Spearwood, fast. How will they escape unnoticed and unscathed, when no one has left Spearwood and returned a live. Will they beat the odds? Will only some of them make it out alive? You'll just have to read and find out. I have a feeling this is the turning point in the series where we tart seeing the dark side of their reality.
I really loved these two episodes. Oren has a way of weaving some complicated stuff into the plot and bringing it all together. There was a bunch of foreshadowing throughout the series as to what Avvi's ability is and I honestly don't know how I didn't pick up on it, but Oren's reveal of what it is toward the end of episode 10 was brilliant and really showed how Avvi is willing to sacrifice herself, literally, for the ones she cares about. Escape couldn't be easy and Oren handled it so well. Prepare for some intense action in this episode, and become better connected with the Spearwood boys.
Their reacting were very believable and so was Avvi's internal battle with this alter ego taking over her.
Oren writes so well that I was actually liking the "thing" that took over Avvi. Is it just memories that Roseman implanted, or did he implant a parasite along with them? Maybe the scales will tell. Oren has so many interesting things happening in this episode. We get to learn a lot more about the boys, see how the really feel about Avvi, some of their background history, and their abilities we haven't seen yet.
After reading these episodes, there's no way I'm missing out on Spearwood Boys, which is set to be out on 8/28. As far as i know, it'll start from the beginning and we'll get to see what the guys where thinking when Avvi arrived. I'm really liking all of the guys in this book and I'm curious to see which one of them Avvi will wind up with. I'm a major Triton fan, but this episode had be sliding over to team Dante! We also get to see the Voice in action again which I LOVED. Well done, Oren. Bring on episode 11 & 12!
