My star rating: 3/5
I have to admit: the cover is what drew me to this one. Isn't it amazing?? After reading the synopsis, I was dead set on reading it. It's a short story, part one to a series as I understand. The premise is unique and fresh. The narration style is definitely unique to the author and stays consistent throughout. The romance between Cecily and Isaac is one that tugs at the heart strings—lovers separated by hundreds of years, one remembering everything while having to watch the other recall nothing at all. Though, once Isaac explains things to Cecily I feel like she accepted his claim way too easily. I don't know about you, but if someone kidnapped me and started telling me that we were soul mates, and that I had lived countless lives filled with false memories he implanted...I'd be getting the hell out of dodge, not strolling into his pad. I had a difficult time getting into the story because I couldn't really relate to any of the characters except Isaac—he was fleshed out remarkably well, while the others were left lacking. Cecily was too trusting and unnecessarily emotional. Julian was a jerk from the get-go. And Isaacs sister, well she was only in one chapter but I have her labeled as an over-reactive psycho. Overall, it's a good, light read with a few issues
I was born in Williamsburg Virginia and raised in Yorktown Virginia so paranormal inspiration was easily obtained. I have 4 awesomesauce kids and an AMAZING husband. Currently I'm working on three books, all Paranormal Romance. I'm a google junkie and can find a pic on google to fit any conversation and will cyber stalk a topic till my eyes hurt if I am interested in it enough. Coffee and gummy bears are an hourly habit. Some of my favorites include: Reading (of course), writing (well duh), baking fancy shmancy cakes, painting and last but not least hanging out with the fam <3
1) I am obsessed with Favicons. They are the little icon next to a websites name in the tabs on a browser. I like to make them pretty when I can.
2) I have an irrational fear of all bugs, spiders especially but I loathe them all equally and turn into a crying ninja when I see them.
3) I make fancy shmancy cakes, but don’t really like to eat cake.
4) Stray cats are attracted to me like lent to static.
5) I am a pediatric nurse and I LOVE my job.
6) I have a fear of being murdered while in the shower, even when the door is locked I am afraid something will crawl out of the mirror or toilet so I keep my eyes open the whole time…even when washing my face (it is possible).
7) I listen to the same song on repeat the entire time I am writing a chapter.
8) I totaled my first car going 3 (yes three) miles an hour.
9) I love all things Wonderland (especially Johnny Depp)
10) I totally believe in aliens. In my head I picture them all as Luxen aka Daemon (The Lux Series by Jennifer L Armentrout)
11) When I see people’s pics on facebook or Instagram, I totally check out the background (their living room, car, kitchen etc.)
12) I could eat avocados, chicken and watermelon for the rest of my life and be completely content.
13) Short arm T-rex jokes get me every time haha!
14) I have to have at least eight pillows on my bed or I can’t sleep. I sleep with 6 of them and they have to be positioned just right or I will toss and turn like a two year old.
15) I had the brilliant idea of going by a pen name of Summer Rayne until I said it out loud and ugly laughed at how ridiculous it was.
16) I have the mouth of a seasoned sailor. Except around my grandma, mom and kids…well sometimes the kids push it but I don’t make it a habit lol
17) I can find a picture that will suit any conversation I am having within a matter of seconds.
18) I have an issue with whiteboards. I will redo them a million times till the words/lines are straight.
19) I’m an over-roller when it comes to toilet paper (I am running out of fun facts so it has come to the way I roll my toilet paper and for this I apologize)
20) Writing 20 “fun facts” about myself has proven to me I need to go sky dive or something more exciting than cake and toilet paper. Thanks for reading!
