No matter where you are, facing your reality with passion and purpose will always lead down the path you were intended to go Reece Bryant was able to pick up the pieces of her broken life after the sudden death of her father. Though emotionally draining, she found the courage to move on, which would have made her father proud.
After finalizing the last of his estate, and returning to pursue her degree in medical school, she has never felt so confident. While making her way through this world on her own, she is suddenly confronted with the truth of her existence, and the reality of her future.
It is when she encounters two alluring and mysterious men, that a series of extraordinary events takes place, putting Reece’s life in grave danger. With her life in the balance, Reece must blindly trust the two mysterious strangers; and when she does, she is brought into an enchanting world that is beyond her logical comprehension. This captivating land reveals new worlds and new dimensions to which her existence is paramount.
But it is once she falls in love with the stunning Levi Oxley that everything will change, and Reece’s life will be in more danger than ever before. Forced to return to Earth and face a Council of Worlds, Reece discovers there is more to this enchanting dimension than she could have ever imagined.
At a moment’s notice, even thru the fog of our denial, our journey can become crystal clear. And within the revelation, once our fear subsides, we can find contentment and purpose if we focus on the things that matter most.
Trust-Courage-Love.
You know how some books are so bad they’re good? This isn’t one of those books. I almost didn’t want to share this one with you guys. In the end I figured that if I could save someone the torture of reading this, then it was worth it.
This was a free e-book and I want a refund. After reading the summary, it sounded like something that would be right up my alley. A parallel dimension where everything is beautiful and a girl that has the literal key to save Earth from destruction? Yes, please! Then, I read it. I should have said “No, thanks buddy”.
I only finished it because I dislike leaving books halfway.
The main character Reece is a Mary Sue. Her friends are Mary Sues, even the one guy that hangs out with them. I don’t even remember his name, all I know is that he likes cars and -nope that’s all I know. And the love interest is super handsome. Like so handsome. I know this because she keeps pointing out how handsome he looks in different lighting and when he’s fighting. So handsome. Oh, his name is Levi and he’s the Emperor’s son. Great catch Reece. Levi has a cousin named Harrison Ford-no wait, that’s not right. I don’t know Harrison’s last name but he was pretty funny and snarky. I think he was also handsome.
The storyline is pretty predictable. The final council meeting was more disappointing than the meeting with Vulturi in the final Twilight movie. Not even exaggerating.
I give it only one taco in the Taco Scale of Awesome. There was high potential for this and it saddens me that the author wasn’t able to bring this world to life like it should have. Don’t read it. I don’t understand how there’s two other books. Maybe they get better? I’m not about to find out.
Until next time. Mon, over and out.
The fact that your scale uses tacos is….just….amazing. Great post 🙂
Hope you check out my debut novel, THE WAITING ROOM!
We love the master mind of the Mon. Its my nickname for her, Taco! Lol We’d love to get an ARC (Advance Reading Copy), where should we send the request for it? Thanks so much for stopping by!
Unfortunately, I’ve already sent out my set # of ARCS! Hope you add it to your TBR anyway 🙂 Love the blog and glad I found y’all!
We certainly will! We love you for stopping in. Will you be at BookCon or RWA in NYC by any chance? If so, we’d love to meet up.
Ah, I wish! I’ll be at the Texas Bookfest in Austin this summer if you feel like a Southern va-cay 😉
I actually do need to hit a Con in Texas. So many wonderful authors are down that way. It’d be incredible to meet as many as we can.
