I didn't know if it was a fluke or not, but this one sounds MUCH more promising! ESP the whole waking up and five years have passed.

You get to the end of the book and you realize about a week has passed. But it is one crazy intense week so given the situation, I got over the insta-love. ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-12577962694932852162014-05-10T17:54:00.362-05:002014-05-10T17:54:00.362-05:00Hope you enjoy it! ~PamHope you enjoy it! ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-42601550304753025472014-05-10T17:53:49.599-05:002014-05-10T17:53:49.599-05:00The plot is just riveting, I absolutely loved the ...The plot is just riveting, I absolutely loved the story.

I didn't mind Kyra and Tyler connecting so quickly, but then for them to be exchanging I love yous…that was just way too fast. Why can't they just have feelings for each other? Be attracted to each other? That was over the top, but oh well. Typical, really. But I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-67156010355378720432014-05-10T08:02:08.384-05:002014-05-10T08:02:08.384-05:00This one sounds intriguing, I've had it for a ...This one sounds intriguing, I've had it for a while but skipped it because I had heard really bad things. I am now debating whether to give it a go, but the whole insta-love thing is one of those things I completely hate in books. I might give it a try anyway, just to see how I end up feeling about it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it for the most part despite some lacking development and what sounds like some insta-love. Great review!

I did think the relationship moved way too quickly, but like you said, it felt okay given their circumstances. And I'm definitely craving more answers and that cliffhanger nearly killed me. But I thought it was a pretty solid start to the series. Rebecca @ Unbound Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609128581185079525noreply@blogger.com
