From the Shadows I Review: ***Weekly Blog Recap*** 9th April 2013

My Ratings

1 star - Awful. I feel as though I have been tortured by an author who has had a bad day at the computer

2 stars - Pretty bad. I probably won't read the book again

3 stars- It's okay. It didn't capture me in the way I like but overall I enjoyed the book.

4 stars - Good. I enjoyed the book but it lacked something that would have made it special.

5 stars - Amazing. A rating I don't give often but when I do it means the book stands head and shoulders above all others for the same age group.

If I've given a book a .5 it means that my indecisiveness has won and I'm stuck between two ratings.

Weekly Blog Recap 9th April 2013

Okay, so it's actually been 2 weeks. I'm sorry, April's really busy!!

Hope Gentry doesn’t believe in Fate. Born with an unusual power to see the dark memories of those around her, Hope just wants to be a normal teenager. But on the first day of her senior year of high school, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to a transfer student named Micah Condie. At first glance, Micah seems like a boy that most girls would dream about. But when Hope's powers allow her to discover Micah's darkest secret, she quickly becomes entangled in the lives of mythical entities she never dreamed existed. Was this her destiny all along? And will her powers help her survive the evil of the Demon Impiorum?

Mythology isn’t just for English class anymore.

Clones Rachel and Theo now live thousands of miles apart. They keep in touch regularly via the internet, but things just aren’t the same.

When Rachel discovers that evil scientist Elijah is still working in secret for a section of the government and about to murder Daniel, she sets out to rescue him, but her plans backfire with disastrous consequences.

Across the Atlantic, Theo becomes suspicious when Rachel misses their weekly internet chat. He discovers a report online that she’s killed herself and travels to Scotland to find her, certain that she’s been kidnapped. A clue leads him to Elijah’s mysterious clinic, where the sinister Aphrodite Experiment is underway. But why does Elijah need to track Rachel down so badly? And what is the ultimate ransom that he demands for her?

Finally, I'm also reading the forthcoming finale of the exceptional Sky Song trilogy by the delightful Sharon Sant! Come visit next Tuesday for the cover reveal of Not Of Our Sky!
