Marie had some questions of her own but they weren't exactly like Lyla's. She was questioning a lot of things and I am glad she wasn't the only one. She knew she loved him but she didn't LOVE, love him. I loved the fact that Lyla questioned her love for Will.

Everything can get turned around in the matter of one page. This really just teaches you that you should never believe certain things will happen in a book.

His belief in the Brethren and the fact that they are actually not about God was a very eye opening scene. He kind of reminds me of a pedophile, honestly. Gated does have the religious cult type aspect but once you get into the book you find out that the initial religious thing was wrong and something much more out-of-left-field is at hand. I have recently read a book similar to Gated and I liked it but I HATED the religious cult aspect. Pioneer uses these things to form his Brethren story and draws a ton of families into his little Community. I love the fact that the book is centered around 9/11, hurricane Katrina and a few other natural and terrorist happenings. Luckily, that changed or I would have been ranting and raving throughout the entire book. She was afraid of everything and was actually OKAY with being that scared little girl that hid behind everyone. She was so timid and she just made me want to scream. Let me first just say that I truly wanted to slap Lyla. But once I received this book in the mail I couldn't put it down.

I kept picking books up and reading a few pages and them putting them back. Upon starting this book, I was in a terrible reading slump.
