Unveil by Amber Garza

Paperback, 220 pages

Published June 2012 by Createspace

Summary:

Mackenzie is looking forward to her eighteenth birthday and upcoming high school graduation. Until an unwelcome visitor from her past appears, threatening her future plans.
Will she ever be free?
Armed with a new weapon and the boy she loves by her side, Mackenzie prepares to fight. She doesn’t realize that she is about to step into the ultimate battle between good and evil, where the stakes are higher than ever before

My Review:

Well. I got what I wished for! 
This is a spoiler right here guys. So skip this next line.  Yay! Kensic forever!!! I knew it. She'd never leave Isaac for Tanner. Mhm. I called it out to guys. You saw it. If you read my post about Entice. Spoiler over!

I am creeped out with her dad. I don't know. I kinda blame Kenzie and her mom though. I know, I know, but they could have tried to help him. I mean, they found comfort in God so they could have helped her dad do it too and not be all screwed up with demons. Or he could have been in too deep to be saved, but I don't think so. I'm not sure how it works though, because I am not Christian, but from what I read in this series, God loves you no matter what!

Also, I want to know why Tanner does not get back with Scarlet in the end. She wanted to get back together with him even though she broke up with him, so why doesn't he? I don't know what's wrong with her. She seems nice enough and it was hinted that she was going through some bad stuff so why didn't Tanner get back together with her and help her? I'd prefer that more than him and Haley getting together.

There was one thing I was a bit confused about. Those ghost/demon people. The little boy and the gothic girl. Who were they? I didn't understand why they were important. I know that they came together in the end to form that thing. But I still don't understand what Drake and Wesley were talking about.

I am so happy for Kenzic! Mackenzie and Isaac forever together! They are perfect for each other. Perfect perfect perfect.

Overall, I enjoyed this book a whole bunch! 4.5 Stars!

Entice by Garza

Paperback, 224 pages

Published March 14th 2012 by Createspace

Summary:

Mackenzie returns home from the summer with her grandma, certain that Wesley is out of her life for good. Until the nightmares resurface, and strange things start to happen. Is Wesley back? When the danger escalates and threatens those closest to her, Mackenzie must fight to save them. Only this time the evil is more powerful, and Mackenzie is faced with an impossible decision.

My Review:

Just like the first book, this was great! I cannot wait to get started on the third book!
So. I was kinda right and kinda wrong with what I said before. Wesley is back! He's not a really prominent character like the first book, but he's there. In the shadows. 

I was super sad that Haley and Mackenzie got into this rift and weren't really talking throughout the whole book. I really do like Haley! I'm glad that they 'kissed and made up' in the end.

And there's new romance in this book! We all thought that Isaac was the one for her, but there's another guy who she has feelings for also! Tanner. Okay, but I have to say I am totally shipping Kensic. (That's Mackenzie and Isaac's names mashed together) I feel so proud that I came out with that. I agree with what Isaac said too. What guy would hit on another guy's girl? Like, really Tanner. Really?

Kenzie's mom was really a shocker for me. We learn about some of her past when she was pregnant with Kenzie. And Wesley is really, really, really, really mean. Okay. He's super duper uper mean. Yeah. I really hope that Kenzie's mom gets better and fights off her demons!

The cliffy at the end was so mean! If I didn't have the third book right here up and ready, I would be totally screaming and yelling and ranting about how I so wanted to read the third book. Really Amber. That was a really mean cliffhanger! I just have to say, I am hoping she'll pick Isaac over Tanner.

Overall, this book was great! After I finish writing this post, I am ready to go back into my hole and read Unveil! 4 Stars!

Prowl by Amber Garza

Paperback, 216 pages

Published January 20th 2012 by Createspace

Summary:

Seventeen-year-old Mackenzie Smith is sent away to spend a boring summer at her grandma's. But then she meets Wesley. He tells her exactly what she wants to hear and has information about her past that no one else knows. It's almost like he can read her mind.
Only Wesley isn't who he seems.
By the time Mackenzie discovers his true identity it may be too late. She's in too deep and he won't let her go. Now Mackenzie must call on the strongest power of all in order to save her life.  

My Review:

I had no idea that this was a religious-y type of book. I've never read something like this, but I really like it!

This book made my eyes pop open wide trying to read fast to see what would happen next! I read this in an hour or two without stopping!

I really liked Issac, but in the beginning, I thought he was evil. I mean, he didn't like Rhiannon and Rhiannon didn't like him! That's suspicious to me! Is one of them evil? Why do they hate each other? We learn why in the end though!
The one thing I didn't like was that they were playing with Ouija boards! Don't they know how dangerous they are? I will never play with one of those!

And I have a suspicion that Wesley won't give up that quick. When Haley called Kenzie and told her she met someone new, I had this sneaking suspicion that the someone new was Wesley.

Overall, I really liked this book! I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this trilogy! 4 Stars!

Author Interview:

1. What inspired you to make this book?I wanted to write a book for Christian teens that was similar to the popular teen books that are already in the market, but with a message of hope and truth.

2. Have you ever dealed with ghosts? 
Not ghosts, but demons yes.

3. Have you ever played with an Ouija board?
Yes, actually and that was the basis for this book. When I was a teenager I used to play on a Ouija board and the same name always came on every time I played. It took years before I realized that it was most likely a demon.

4. Do you any similarities with Kenzie?
When I was younger I definitely dealt with self-esteem and depression issues. Being a teenager is hard and kids have a difficult time accepting and loving themselves – I was no exception. Not until I truly realized who I was to God, did I learn to love myself and be proud of who I was.

5. What gave you the idea of having those kind of spiritual issues?
My personal experiences, as well as spending a lot of time in prayer before and while writing.

6. Have you gone through something like Kenzie has?
Yes, but not at all to the extent that she did. It is fiction, after all and my first priority was to entertain.
