This is late, sorry. It is funny because when I read “Hi!” I actually waved. At my phone. LOL.

 

As I write this, I have now finished reading Masterminds. It made a huge impression on me! I’ve said this already, but wow, your characters are so real. Are they based off of people you know in real life, because you write them so well. I actually had a certain tone of thought, not even voice, for when I read Eli, Malik, Tori, and Amber. I’m not sure how my mind made those tones, because they’re not even voices! All of your characters think so differently, they are so well developed. You thought right about it making an impression. I’m so glad I bought it. (Thanks mom!) 

 

Yes, people like that are very interesting. I like the first book two, the set-up is cool. It was very satisfying! There was an actual change in the air when I read them all figure it out! I wonder what happened to Mr. Delaney’s ex-wife. She’s certainly not Mrs. Delaney anymore. I’m proud of the series too!

 

Malik is definitely the funniest character. I laughed three times at some of the things he said in Masterminds, Payback alone. And I mean I actually laughed out loud! Some of the jokes I hear don’t make me laugh like that. Especially the bomb one, where he’s being mean to Amber because she’s being judgemental to them for breaking the law. It is so funny!

Technically not seasick, but definitely sick of the sea. — That one got me. Bad. I love Malik. (But Amber has my heart. Maybe he’s not my 4th favorite… He’s bumped his way up two.)

Oh, and Hector! I’ve got a soft spot for that traitor. Now, it’s

1. Amber 

– She’s a girlboss, amazing, super cool, but kind of judgemental (okay really judgemental) but she’s a nice person.

2. Malik

– He’s a bully but also the softest and funniest bully I have ever heard of, and bullies are usually funny

3a. Eli

– I like him. No other reason. I just like him (tech0-nerdo)

3b. Tori

– He’s tied with Tori because I like Tori. She’s so funny-witty. Not funny-funny like Malik, who immediately reminded me of Leo Valdez from Heroes of Olympus (my favorite character ever) (even more than Keefe Sencen in Keeper of the Lost Cities). Anyway, Tori is an artist, a kid just like me, and I don’t know. I just like her! 

4. Hector

– Yes he bumped himself up a spot. But I still don’t like him a lot, but of course, I’m too soft for the underdogs. His relationship with Malik is to die for. Best friends but not, but still. Love it!

5. Steve

– He actually loved his child even though she’s not his child. Torifically Steve, he is! Such a chill dad and he did a lot for Tori even if it wasn’t in the right way. I love this guy.

I still kind of can’t believe Masterminds is over!
