review 1: Ms. Gardner has created a unique story that captured me within the first handful of pages. I wanted to figure out who was the killer and why. Bridget is a very like able and I thought acted much like a normal teenage. Yet Bridget is different and doesn't want anyone to find out. I would feel like the same way. I think everyone has moments when they fear rejection. I had mixed feelings about Terrence. I was like Rory, I had lots of questions about him. I found myself consumed by this story. I had to have answers. So, my laundry and dishes sat till I completed this story. When I finished I instantly wanted to read book two as this is going to be a series. But I was also happy to have my answers. My one complaint is the time frame. I wish it was a little clearer. Other than ... morethat I think this is a great story and quiet unique and I am sure with the next book Ms. Gardner writes will be even better. This is clean free from sex and only a handful of swear words.
review 2: THOUGHTLESS is the story of Bridget, a seemingly normal high school student with a big secret, she can hear the thoughts of others. Bridget is often overwhelmed and spends much of her life avoiding others, trying to save her sanity. The only one who know her secret is her mom. But when Bridget finds the body of a cheerleader in a supply closet, her secret is no longer safe. The killer has targeted Bridget and her new friend Rory. Oh and her new boyfriend, Terrence? He's the only person whose thoughts Bridget can't hear. Coincidence? You decide.So, I liked THOUGHTLESS. The story starts off with a dramatic incident, murder, and keeps a quick pace throughout. I'm a sucker for books with teen murder mysteries. The main character, Bridget, is a sweet, relatable character. Except for the whole "hearing thoughts" thing she has going on. She's a tenacious girl, with trying to find the killer, but I didn't find her running into danger as annoying as in a lot of the books I've read. I also liked her friend and cohort, Rory. He was the voice of reason for Bridget, and a genuinely good guy. As for Bridget's "boyfriend' Terrence? I didn't get that. He's the school hottie. Terrence is handsome, charming, and British. But his character felt so flat, for me, that I didn't see the appeal. Their relationship wasn't insta-love, thank goodness. But to have a few half-dates and some awkward moments and call it a relationship felt like a bit of a stretch. The background of Bridget's abilities is explored. I was happy with what is revealed The lore is completely cool and nothing that I expected. And the author did a great job of setting the story up for a second book. If you enjoy a paranormal young adult story that's a quick, easy read, THOUGHTLESS may be perfect for you.Favorite Quote:"I finallly turned my head and witnessed a long line of policemen. They were watching a stretcher being loaded into an ambulance. A white sheet covered the body and all I could see were white cheerleading sneakers." (ebook, 5%) less
