4 Stars: I Really Liked It

IT’S A RACE AGAINST TIME.

In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate so they could be together.

In Vengeance, Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly path.

Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make things worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it’s irreversible. There’s only one option left for her to save herself. It’s crazier than anything she’s heard yet, and to do it, she’ll need Drew and Chelsea’s help.

Because to make things right, they must go back to when it all began …

My Thoughts:
This was a great end to a fantastic love story! I love these characters- Drew, Lizzie, and Chelsea are each unique, and I wanted to see how things would turn out for them.

The time travel twist in this book was great because I love historical fiction. It was fun to see the three main characters go back in time and dress up for balls and try to act all Regency. Loved it!

The story was sweet, romantic, entertaining, and suspenseful, an all-around great read! If you haven’t read Remembrance (book 1) you really need to.

MIA and Books For Review

Kathryn Cooper

Hi my lovely blog friends!! I’m sad that I’ve been really Missing In Action the past few weeks. It’s been 3 1/2 weeks since my last post. How is that possible?! Those weeks flew by. I guess I have Thanksgiving week as an excuse. Anyway, my family always takes priority which means my hobbies- reading, writing, and blogging- have to take a back seat sometimes. I few months ago I decided to reduce the time I spent on blogging so I could focus more of my free time on writing my book which is coming along! I still plan to do fun memes when I have the time and post a review for the books I read.

Since I’ve been trying to cut back there are some books I was given from authors/publishers for review that I won’t get to read anytime soon or possibly at all. The thing is I really think I would enjoy some of these books so I will most likely read them eventually. 🙂

5 STARS: I LOVED IT!!!

Vi knows the Rule: Girls don’t walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them. But no one makes Vi want to break the Rules more than Zenn…and since the Thinkers have chosen him as Vi’s future match, how much trouble can one kiss cause? The Thinkers may have brainwashed the rest of the population, but Vi is determined to think for herself.

But the Thinkers are unusually persuasive, and they’re set on convincing Vi to become one of them…starting by brainwashing Zenn. Vi can’t leave Zenn in the Thinkers’ hands, but she’s wary of joining the rebellion, especially since that means teaming up with Jag. Jag is egotistical, charismatic, and dangerous–everything Zenn’s not. Vi can’t quite trust Jag and can’t quite resist him, but she also can’t give up on Zenn.

This is a game of control or be controlled. And Vi has no choice but to play.

My Thoughts:
Oh wow this book was wonderful!!! I loved it and can’t wait to get my hands on Surrender (book 2).

The premise to Possession reminded me of Matched by Ally Condie. It turned out that Possession was very different from Matched, the similarity was the dystopian world which a lot of books have these days.

Violet, Vi for short, was an amazing character, very strong and defiant. At first it was hard to relate to her desire for rule breaking because I’m the opposite of a rule breaker, but as the story went along I understood her more and loved her for her “bad” ways. Jag was funny, confident, and a fellow rule breaker. They made a great team.

There were twists and turns throughout that made me scream and squeal. You know it’s a great read when your emotions are front and center, ready to laugh or yell. The ending was maddening! I’m so glad the 2nd book is already out so I don’t have to wait to see what happens next. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a great romance with an exciting plot in a dystopian world.

Have you read this book? What did you think?
