Brought to my attention today by one of MY favorite authors (Cora Carmack) pretty much losing her book-mind over this series on her Facebook page. LOL! The whole series is on sale this weekend, and she very enthusiastically exclaimed some BIG love (saying it just gets better and better with each book). I especially loved her very convincing “THE FEELS, GUYS. I CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS THE FEELS.” <— I LOVE the sound of this!!!
Lo and behold, one of our fellow readers has been ADAMANTLY insisting on this series for awhile now. You guys… it sounds right up our alley!
Kendra: it’s a YA series, but was absolutely heart wrenching. It’s a paranormal, light/dark angel series. I’m not sure if it’s one of those series in which the characters just seem “familiar” so I loved it even more, but I couldn’t put it down! Just sayin’ if you haven’t read it, you may want to…. I couldn’t put it down!
Kendra: I’m in a serious book hangover from finishing Endless by Jessica Shirvington yesterday (yup, cried, no… bawled all afternoon!!!)
Kendra: I LOVE the Embrace series by Jessica Shirvington! It’s a YA read but angst and action a plenty with very powerful feelings. One of my favs. I cried for over half the last book (Endless) and can’t wait for the next one to come out! Gotta read this series people!!!!!
Atalia: It’s so hard to chose just one so here are my top favorite books: -Embrace by Jessica Shirvington <— sidetone from Maryse: That was at the top of her list…
About book #1:
It starts with a whisper: “It’s time for you to know who you are…”
On her 17th birthday, everything will change for Violet Eden. The boy she loves will betray her. Her enemy will save her. She will have to decide just how much she’s willing to sacrifice.
A centuries old war between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity chooses a new fighter. It’s a battle Violet doesn’t want, but she lives her life by two rules: don’t run and don’t quit. If angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden.
LINCOLN: He’s been Violet’s one anchor, her running partner and kickboxing trainer. Only he never told her he’s Grigori-part human, part angel-and that he was training her for an ancient battle between Angels and Exiles.
PHOENIX: No one knows where his loyalties lie, yet he’s the only one there to pick up the pieces and protect her after Lincoln’s lies. In a world of dark and light, he is all shades of gray.
Two sides: Angel or Exile.
Two guys: Lincoln or Phoenix.
The wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity…
