The Fallen Star Series
At the moment I'm reading the Fallen Star series by Jessica Sorensen. I got the first book (called The Fallen Star) probably about a year ago, for free from some free book website. Just from seeing the cover I knew there was a high possibility of me liking the story. And of course, I did. I purchased the next two books and also read those around the same time. Then life happened and I never finished the series. So, about a month ago I all of a sudden remembered the cliff hanger I left myself on, and dug up the details to find out there's a fourth book, which ends the series 😪 BUT there are TWO more books in a follow up, with the same main characters, called The Fallen Soul series.
Ok that's my personal history.
So, I've again read, the Fallen Star, the second book called The Underworld, and am almost 65% of the way through The Vision. Tonight I think I'll just write about the two I've finished.
The series centers around a girl named Gemma who has violet eyes. One day she woke up and all of a sudden could feel emotions. Until that point it obviously never bothered her cause she couldn't feel anything. She gets this prickle on the back of her neck every time she feels a new emotion for the first time. Then this new kid, Alex, comes to town (with his sister Aislin), and right from the first time she sees him she thinks she remembers him from somewhere but knows its impossible, since she was raised by her grandparents and had no life and no memories of anything except being empty and emotionless.
Now, she keeps having these nightmares of these freaky scary monsters with yellow eyes chasing her thru the woods and killing her. Now she starts seeing yellow eyes pretty much whenever she's alone, but somehow Alex always ends up being there to save her. At the same time all he does is treat her terribly. So blah blah blah, Im not writing a review, or spoiling it cause you should definitely read it.
It eventually all unfolds with Vampires, Witches, Forseers, and the most important, the Keepers, and they're all trying to save the end of the world from happening (on Dec 21, 2012 lol) which centers around Gemma. Oh, did I mention, she has the energy of a fallen star inside her which is the key to either saving or ending the world.
The bad guy turns out to be Alex and Aislin's father which really shakes things up. I can't even say much more without spoiling it, so ill just go back to reading it 😛
Hopefully this series gets more recognition, cause I think it's awesome and I REALLY can't wait to get to the last books I haven't read before.

So this is it, huh?
I've finally started a blog. Word. The name itself says almost everything, I'll use it for things I like, but I'm not limiting myself there. I'm sure I'll rant a whole lot about things I absolutely hate, cause let's face it, that list is much longer than the first.
So yeah, introduction to my blog. I think I'll write a bit about the books I'm currently reading a little later.
