Shine (Shade #3) by Jeri Smith-Ready

Posted on October 3, 2013 | Leave a comment

Shine (Shade, #3) Shine (Shade #3) by Jeri Smith Ready.  Published May 2012 by Simon Pulse.  CDN $9.99 Kindle edition.

Life can change in an instant, and no one understands that better than Aura. It’s been almost a year since her boyfriend tragically died. She’s finally letting go of Logan’s violet-hued ghost, but not her search to uncover the truth about her past.

As the first in a generation that can see ghosts, Aura is convinced she has a connection to the Shift. She’s trusted Zachary, ever patient and ever by her side, with all that she knows. But when the government threatens his life in an attempt to learn Aura’s secrets, she will stop at nothing to protect herself and the one she loves…even if that means betraying her own heart.  (Goodreads excerpt)

I have to say that the conclusion to the trilogy was everything you could hope for.  Everything was explained with nothing left out.  I finished the book feeling complete.  It was very emotional and heart wrenching, but well worth it in the end. The ending actually surprised me a little.  I don’t want to give it away, but you felt it was going one way and at the last minute the writer finishes it in an unexpected but equally satisfying way.

The biggest thing about this book is that Logan isn’t in it.  He was such an integral part of the first two books and to not have him in it made me think it was not going to be very good.  I was wrong.  The book focuses on the relationship between Zachary and Aura.  They have a once in a lifetime love (cliché I know..but true!) The story is very emotional and very powerful and draws you in so that you feel that these two have to be together no matter what.  They are the kind of couple that everybody dreams of being a part of.

There was still a lot of drama and suspense and the book was very exciting to read.  It wasn’t all romance and mushy stuff…lol, there is plenty of ass kicking and action to keep the reader entertained.

Overall I really enjoyed the book.  5 stars for me.

Shift (shade #2) by Jeri Smith-Ready

Posted on August 15, 2013 | 1 comment

Shift (Shade, #2) Shift (Shade #2) by Jeri Smith-Ready.  Published April 28, 2011 by Simon Pulse.  CDN $9.99 Kindle Edition.

Aura’s life is anything but easy. Her boyfriend, Logan, died, and his slides between ghost and shade have left her reeling. Aura knows he needs her now more than ever. She loves Logan, but she can’t deny her connection with the totally supportive, totally gorgeous Zachary. And she’s not sure that she wants to.

Logan and Zachary will fight to be the one by her side, but Aura needs them both to uncover the mystery of her past—the mystery of the Shift.

As Aura’s search uncovers new truths, she must decide whom to trust with her secrets…and her heart. (Goodreads Excerpt)

I have to say I really enjoyed this book as much, if not more than, the first (Shade).  The story grows and answers more questions for the reader.  I was intrigued by the whole ghost/shade/solid aspects of the non living characters and the concept of the shift.  The reasons for and the result of the shift are so original and well thought out.  I don’t want to give anything away so I will leave it at that.

I am not usually a fan of love triangles, but this one works well with the story line, especially given that one of them is dead.  You assume that she will end up with Zachary, or does she?  Like I said the book is intriguing and original and leaves you guessing.

There is a lot more drama and action in this one, which I found exciting and pulled me further and further into the story.  You get to read the missing pages of the journal and find out a lot more information about the shift.  The story is compelling from front to back and I couldn’t put it down.  I can’t wait to read the next book Shine.

5 stars for me.

Teaser Tuesday (Aug 6)

Posted on August 6, 2013 | 28 comments

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser:

My other hand brushed aside the edge of his soft cotton shirt and met the smooth flesh of his chest.  Flesh that was no longer violet, but instead looked as it had when he was alive.

My heart pounded when its counterpart thumped beneath his skin.  “How?”

“I don’t care,” he said, and kissed me.
