Author-Christina Channelle
Genre- YA Paranormal Romance
Publication Date- October 11, 2013
Synopsis:
Foreign, or rather unfamiliar, would be the word I would use to describe how I felt.
Faintly, I could hear the glimmer of voices surrounding me in this dark haze, caressing my ears like skin against silk. I felt like I was in a cocoon of sorts, protectively enveloped, quietly drifting in some far-off place. I wanted to stay that way forever. But we all know that what you want never really seems to happen in the real world.
Something’s not right in Mia’s head.
The first thing is that her name isn’t Mia. In fact, she has no clue what her name is—who she is. All that she knows is that she’s not like the ones who found her: Dante with his kind blue eyes, Amy with her child-like demeanor, James with his questioning gaze.
And Briggs.
The one she cannot decipher no matter how hard she tries.
As Mia tries to fit in with these people, a strange occurrence is amidst outside. And as she finally remembers who she is …
Well, let’s just say that things get a little more complicated.
REVIEW:
This review is really hard to go in length about because I would be revealing spoilers but I will attempt! Reap is a one of a kind novella! It is extremely addicting and opens the doors up to a great series. My only problem with Reap was the length, I wanted it to be much longer. Novellas, Novellas, Novellas!
The book begins with "Mia" waking up of sorts. You spend almost the entire novel in limbo because she has no idea who she is and you don't really find out anything about her until the last few chapters. This aspect made it a bit confusing at first but the writing is really so good that all the kinks are smoothed out. The writings draws you in from the first page to the last. The book is broken down into three parts her not knowing who she is, starting to remember her old life, and then finally everything comes back to her! I thought that was really clever. Mia is a really likable character and I immediately wanted her to be with Dante. However, it is hard to fall in love with someone when you don't even know yourself.
I would recommend this book to any YA lovers. There is a hint of paranormal, though it doesn't happen until the very end. I have a hunch that the rest of the series will be more paranormal based. My last question for you is do you believe that true love will always find it's way?

ReplyDeleteHm. This sounds like a very interesting read! It's so hard to review books that are heavy with plot twists, isn't it? LOL. I hope your next read is just as good! <3
