This book was sooo AMAZING!!! I was head over heels in love with Jodi Meadows characters, Ana and Sam <3 From the first moment I saw the cover of thisThis book was sooo AMAZING!!! I was head over heels in love with Jodi Meadows characters, Ana and Sam <3 From the first moment I saw the cover of this awesome book, I knew I had to read it. Am totally into reincarnation and dragons, sylphs and music! It had the best romance scenes, that I was fanning my self with what Jodi was writing. I was also chatting with her on Twitter when I was reading it! Its so awesome to talk to Jodi:) Sam is my new love interest..... he plays piano and he takes care of Ana and its a hot dancer/kisser, I call that my perfect man!
What I liked most about this book was the way the book flowed. I practically devoured this book in two days, because the writing was addicting and also the characters were so likeable that you can relate to Ana and her personality. Her fast friendship with Sam that grows into romance was fantabulous and steamy that this scene was sooo romantic and hot that I wanted to marry Sam. I adored the whole entire storyline with reincarnation. My favorite part was the masquerade ball, it made me speechless and wanting more. This scene is sooo swoon worthy I can still remember what happened! Sam may be an old soul, but he has lots of heart.
The romance, this is my favorite part. Sam and Ana have strong chemistry that you are waiting from the beginning where is Sam!!! Yes I <3 Sam!! Ana is a new-soul and is the only one out in this world. The city of Heart are worried that she will infect them when she comes, and she actually has to be supervised into coming to the city Heart. The masquerade scene is the best scene EVER, the writing was perfect and you can envision this scene from your head, heres a sneak: (it maybe a spoiler but it is steamy)
"Three long seconds and he only gasped and tightened his hands on my back. Then, with a moan, he opened his mouth and kissed me. It wasn't easy, sweet kiss like I'd imagined my first would be, but frustrated and hungry." ( Page 167 E-ARC)
The setting was written beautifully, I could picture everything that was described, when Ana and Sam were traveling to the main city. The town itself was really cool because the city was already built and ready for them when the Old Souls got there. It got me more interested when Ana was trying to figure who she is and how she became a New-Soul. She does go to the library to learn of her "former" person and discovers some interesting things, including her "connection" with Sam.
When uncovering this mystery of finding herself, she starts falling in love with Sam. From the very beginning after he saves her from the Sylph and also her love for music, she develops strong feelings for him. Sam is courageous, but a little stupid for fighting dragons, and in his past life he always dies by either Sylph or Dragons.
The cover is so pretty that I practically love it! The butterfly mask is soo beautiful, that you want to have this on your shelves. I know I do because I loved this book from beginning to end. Incarnate is a MUST read, it definitely belongs on everyone's shelves. The story and romance will blow you away! Book 2 will be soo awesome!! I cant wait to read it!!! Be sure to buy this one on January 31!!
I absolutely loved this book I was like OMG when I got the email to be able to read Hallowed!! Both Unearthly and Hallowed blew my mind away, I devourI absolutely loved this book I was like OMG when I got the email to be able to read Hallowed!! Both Unearthly and Hallowed blew my mind away, I devoured this book in 2 days!! Hallowed had action, romance and and soo much information that explains much more about Clara, her brother Jeffery and even more about her mother. In this brand new sequel to Unearthly, Cynthia Hand delivers what her readers have been waiting for, and I was not disappointed. I loved it. Clara has really grown since the last novel. With best friend's Wendy & Angela,and of course Tucker and her other love interest Christian. Christian really grew on me in this book!
Cynthia Hand made my emotions go all over the place, even more surprises are introduced as as was crying during some parts. Hallowed introduced more characters than in Unearthly through communities in the town. Christian really comes out in this novel, I was starting to like him in the first book, but he really will grow on you in Hallowed.Tucker still steals my heart away, but the storyline and love triangle was brilliant. Learning more about Clara's lineage and her mother's secrets was the main topic, but it was a good thing as we got to know more about Clara. I sometimes felt like crying during some of the scenes (tear). There are so many revelations in book that some things will shock you, but it does give you the sense that the next book will be great.
The novel does pick up right where Unearthly left us, after the fire. It may have gone slowly, but it was so full of information that will be important in the next book. For all those people who love Tucker or Christian.... I had a tough choice of who I want her to be with. I will have to wait until upcoming novel to find out what will happen next. Clara and Christian have an undeniable connection that Tucker cannot break, and Clara is still in love with Tucker <3 but once you read this you will understand how I feel (always had a soft spot for Christian)
What I liked most after reading Hallowed is that the romance was perfect and it always leaves me hanging. Hallowed is one of my favorite series, especially that I love the idea of Angels and Clara's dad which I loved really surprised me and her mother really is an important figure for Clara when she was growing up, but we do learn that half-Angel also do pass away; they also help God in their next life. Cynthia gives me a new perspective of what Clara does go through with her family and also her friends. Her brother Jeffery was shown a little more; is also shown that he is causing trouble with his mood swings, and in the end what he has done to represent his vision.
Overall- ONE AWESOME BOOK. Read Unearthly and then Hallowed because this book is worth the read and wait. Can't wait until the next one:) BTW follow Cynthia Hand on Twitter because she is soo awesome:) Its one book you cant put down !! Be sure to pick this book up at the nearest bookstore on January 17!!
Cover: I love the cover, HarperCollins does and AMAZING job!...more
