Twelve (Book Two of the Passage Trilogy): A Novel (Book Two of the Passage Trilogy) | 
so-soI wanted so much to love this series. After 2 books, I'm not sure I'm gonna attempt book 3. It seems like something right up my alley, but for some reason I just can't get into it. This one was so bleak, and I had trouble following the multiple threads going on. Probably a me thing, but idk.
pickAbsolutely fantastic!
This second book of a trilogy follows a similar structure to the first. We begin at the early days of the apocalypse following a new group of characters as they negotiate their survival. Then we flash forward seventy years to an important and traumatic event. All these threads come together and inform the epic second episode in the struggle of our main characters‘ battle for Humanity‘s future. Must read!
pickThe second book in a trilogy, this story goes back and forth in time, to around the beginning of book one right through to a few years (I think) after that one ends. We see lots of familiar faces and are introduced to a bunch more. To be honest there are so many characters it was quite hard to keep up with them all...I actually had to look up the character list a few times! That being said the story is exciting and I loved every second! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I was really hoping to finish the tagged book in February but, with over 5 hours left in the audiobook, it isn‘t looking good. Damn you short month!! So here‘s my finished #bookspinbingo board for February, which, while not getting me a bingo does have my #doublebookspin marked off! I read half as many book this month as in January but I‘m hoping to step it up in March. Still way ahead of my Goodreads reading goal schedule for the year!
pickThe book was very interesting to read.
The story is gud it keep u guessin rite up until the end of the book and as it part of a Trilogy it will b interesting to find out what the last book will tell us
pickI‘m really enjoying this series, and the narration is excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 👍🏽🎧
1) The tagged audiobook, Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth, and Things in Jars by Jess Kidd.
2) Three-way tie between The Passage by Justin Cronin, Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel, and Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown.
3) Not sure if Jack Ryan and Castle Rock count since they‘re not based on actual novels? Could be considered “book adjacent”?

Hoping to finish this one by the end of the month. 🤞🏽
pickStill super interested in what happens to these people 🧛🏻♀️still struggling with the intensity but somehow the author avoids melodrama so 💁🏼♀️still chain swallowing Santa cookies 🎅
pickRead the last third of the book in a dead sprint today. SO good — I think even better than the first one.
Last book was a no, returning to a trilogy that I know is a YAAAASSSS for me. I ❤️ Alicia!!
pickThe second book in trilogies are usually meh compared to the first. But I liked The Twelve so much I couldn‘t put the book down. The series is basically the walking dead but with vampires. What more could you ask for?
pickEnjoyed it. Took me longer than I wanted to read but that was myself being tired after work and not the book (not easy sometimes to pick up a book after being up since 4 am). Ready for the final book to be available for pick up at my library.
Thanks so much @mitch for the #completetheseries giveaway and congrats on your milestone!
There are 3 series I would like to work on completing this year. I very much want to read The Twelve, which is the second of The Passage Trilogy. Also on my list is Iron Gold, book 4 of the Red Rising series. Last on my list is A God in Ruins, the sequel to Life After Life.
So many series, so little time!
Perfect way to spend the snow day. I‘ve heard the second one is even better than the first. Does anyone have a favorite?
pickStayed up way too late to finish this book, but it was well worth it. While there were weak points in this book (too many POV characters), I really enjoyed how this book expanded the story and connected some unexpected plot lines. Getting to read the story of the “Last Stand in Denver” (only referenced in book 1) and see Amy‘s development was especially satisfying. Now onto the 3rd and final installment, which I picked up at the library yesterday!
Monday is my Sunday, so spending my last night before going back to work with a #bookandbath
About halfway through now!
Yay for #bookmail! Now I need to get started on this because my bf has had a week‘s head start while I was waiting for my copy from Amazon!
Hoping this arrives sooner than the Amazon estimate! Can‘t wait to continue with this series.
pickMy last book for 2018. I did a reread before I start City of Mirrors.
Trying to get a few more pages in
Really Monster I was gone for one minute.
pickI can‘t believe that I am loving this series as this is totally out of my wheelhouse. I loved The Passage and thought this was just as good, catching up with characters from the last book while meeting some new ones. It was a few months since I had read The Passage so I needed to refer back to it a bit. I think I may jump right into City of Mirrors soon so I don‘t lose my momentum.
pickA continuation of Amy‘s story, and all of the survivors of the viral outbreak. We get a glimpse at some of the characters‘ history, which all comes into play by the end. Looking forward to finally getting the third book and finishing this story.
After spending the day doing laundry, cleaning the house and running errands I‘m going to put my feet up and start The Twelve. It‘s been a few months since I‘ve read The Passage but hopefully I can dive back in quickly!
So I forgot to post about these! I‘m finally getting around to finishing up the last book in this series, which means a reread of the first 2 since I remember next to nothing about them. Over halfway through the 2nd one and then I‘ll have to wait for the 3rd to come in at the library. So good, just as good as I remembered them being.
#agameoffavorites day 4, local author! While not native to Houston, he's called Houston home now for over a decade. His Passage trilogy is one of my favorites, but The Twelve is my favorite book from the series. He's stated that his most influential books, and some of his favorite, are Lonsome Dove and 1984. I also love 1984!

Book mess, but its the best mess to have. Books make any bad day better 😍 #bookaddict #booklover #books #bookshelf
so-soI loved passage and I thought it was a great stand alone book and didn't need a series. I still enjoyed twelve but I thought it wasn't really necessary

Book Two of The Passage Trilogy. Can‘t wait to see what the TV adaptation will be like.
pickThis was a great read, especially if you‘re into post-apocalyptic stories. It‘s not zombies in this story, though, that brings about the downfall of civilization as we know it. It‘s vampires this time around, but still just as deadly. I saw a similarity to the trajectory of The Walking Dead in this installment in the trilogy. The focus is more on the dangers of dealing with other people rather than the vampires. Highly recommended!!
pickI cannot get enough of this series and I seriously, seriously love Scott Brick! I took it slow with this book because I just do not want it to end. Met new characters that touched my heart, but Wolgast will always be my favorite. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soI think I waited too long between reading this and it‘s prequel The Passage. I was lost from the beginning; couldn‘t keep up with the timeline, the multiple characters, and their not-so-interconnected storylines.
Must. . . go. . . to. . . sleep. . . 📖📖📖
pickYes, I‘m definitely going to have a book hangover from this one. Wow.
If you‘re into long series (well, trilogies) and post apocalyptic vampires sound fun to you, and you enjoy some kind of brutal gore and deep character development, get your hands on The Passage and get started on these now!
I need a little break, but I‘m glad City of Mirrors is on my shelf! Soon I‘ll see you again my friends!
My snow day plans! Took Sietje out for her first snow experience, and she did not enjoy it. That‘s ok with me! Let‘s enjoy it from inside, wrapped in blankets, with a scary book!
For those who‘ve read this, how would you categorize it? At first I thought sci-fi/fantasy, but now I‘m leaning more towards horror. Or has post apocalyptic become it‘s own category? I‘m just not sure. Whatever it is, I sure do love it!

#LitsyPartyOfOne for 3 please 🐱🐶🧑
Yes this one is as good as The Passage!
12 Hours to go until midnight here!!!!
12 Months since I read this awesome book, Part 2 in The Passage series by Justin Cronin ❤
