Summary:
A Thriller from Bestselling Author Kailin GowWhat if you found out you never existed?"My name is Celestra Caine. I am seventeen years old, which makes me a senior at Richmond High. I never thought this would happen to me, but it has... I'm one of those people you see every day, go to school with, remember seeing at the supermarket or the mall, and then one day you don't hear about them any longer. They're gone, and eventually, you forget them.
My Review:
Honestly, it's a good book. It's what you'd expect from a good book.
I found it a bit confusing in the beginning of the story. What was going on?! But it started explaining itself throughout the story. And one thing about the book too, I really liked that the author could stretch out a few days into a book. I find that a really admirable trait from authors because I certainly can't do that. I'm not very good with details.
But one thing I have to say is that the book either went too fast for such a small book, or that it went too slow. The book is kinda thin and the author could fit a whole chunk into it. It did go a bit slow in my opinion and I really hope that the author will be more like the turtle. Slow and steady.
Overall, it was a good enough. 3 Stars.
Summary:
What is Celestra Caine? Who is she and did she ever existed? The Faders and the Others clash at the Underground, sending everything into a tailspin. Celestra is pulled into more intrigue, more danger, and more romance, as she discovers who she is and why everyone wants to get her in Book 2 of the FADE series.
My Review:
I got the same feeling with this book as the first. It's short, but it still good.
Falling starts where Fade ended. I like books that start this way. I know exactly what happened and there's no'sumer break' for me in reading about them.
Falling has a lot more action than Fade. We get to know more of her 'wild side' as I would call it. Falling also makes us choose between Jack and Grayson. I'm on Grayson's side though.
This book shows off a whole bunch of things we haven't learned and more. I'd have to say this was better than the first.
Overall, this book was good. 3.5 Stars.
