Today is day three of Inkcrush's faves of twentyeleven. Its all about The Scenes! To join in head over to Nomes and sign up!
The Scenes
Best first chapter
When She Woke- the entire premise is set up in that first chapter, we get present, past and whats coming for the character in those first few twisted hours of waking as a Red person. I was hooked within two pages.
Best Climax
Die For Me- When Kate faces the evil enemy of Vincent's clan. The fight, the drama, the aftermath.....so nail bite-exciting!
Best ending
Torrent- Gabi's long journey and decisions for her life are finally complete. I even cried a bit with the sheer happy of all the characters outcomes.
Best plot twist/revelation (no spoilers!)
When the duo of Enclave go above and discover a world outside of the tunnels.
Scariest/most disturbing scene
Disturbing- When She Woke- After Hannah is released, shes sent to an Enlightenment home. The things she has to do for therapy sake almost made me puke.
Scariest- The Other Life- When Quinn finally realizes what the black spot under the china hutch was...(ohh I got the shivers just thinking about it)
Steamiest scene (or sweetest/sexiest kiss award)
Delirium- Lena and Alex's scene in which they shed their shirts and make-out... Yet the scene was really romantic and sweet too.
Best swoon-worthy moment
Waterfall- When Marcello places Gabi's hands on the wall-stone thing to save her...um wow that was a swoon make me fall in love with you moment!!
Biggest nail-biting moment
Ok so besides the scene in Die For Me, there is a scene in The Violets of March, where we find out what really happened to Esther that cold night on the cliff....EPE!!
And I cant fail to mention the scene in Cascade when Gabi is caught by evil old dude who rips her clothes off with his sword.........

Most Hilarious Scene
Holy Ghost Girl- Most of the book talks about life in a strict religion, however Donna's insights and observations of adults as a young child had many laugh out loud moments to break up the serious stuff.
Most heart-breaking/tear-jerker moment
Heart Breaking- Bitter End- The first time Cole punches Alex in the face, and watching the domestic abuse unfold, while nobody does anything to stop it.
Tear Jerker Scene- To Die For- When Anne Boleyn gets beheaded and the aftercare Meg does for her.
BONUS: favorite meet cute
Those were some great scenes with Lena and Duece :)
ReplyDeleteGAH! I don't know if I could handle Bitter End.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, thank you for reminding me about when Marcello put Gabi's hand on the stone. He knew he would rather lose her to time than to death. *tears*
P.S. I'm watching WH tonight! Thanks for the tip. :)
To Die For sounds amazing. I love Tudor England and the scandals surrounding Anne Boleyn.
