Natural Selection by Elizabeth Sharp 4 Stars

Natural Selection (Forces of Nature #1)

Goodreads: 
by
What do you do when you find out your family isn't your family, death is knocking at your door, and that guy you can't stop thinking about knows more about who you are than you do? Amelia Hoffman was just a normal 15 year old until she found out the truth. Now ancient myths, supernatural beings, and murder have changed everything. Tests and school dances are no longer the biggest worry in her life-- she has to figure out how to save everyone she loves and accept the future in front of her before its too late.


My Thoughts:



I love it when books have characters that have a special connection/magic to the Earth and nature. That isn’t all this book has. It has lots of other supernatural creatures! Amelia doesn’t know she is different and that is the fun part. I love the mysterious connection she feels for the hottie, Nate! This book sends you on an adventure of self-discovery and love.

Note: Four Stars, For readers 14+

Become by Ali Cross 5 Stars

Become (Desolation #1)

Goodreads: by
Sixteen-year old Desolation Black wants nothing more than to stay in Hell where it’s cold and lonely and totally predictable. Instead, she’s sent back to Earth where she must face the evil she despises and the good she always feared.

When Desi is forced to embrace her inner demon, she assumes her choice has been made—that she has no hope of being anything other than what her father, Lucifer, has created her to be. What she doesn’t count on, is finding a reason to change—something she’s never had before—a friend.



My Thoughts: 

This book intrigued me right from the start. I wanted to know how the author was going to pull off having the main character, Desolation, a daughter of the Lucifer. Let me tell you, she did an awesome job! I love all the emotions and the way she wove in human realities with skill and class. I enjoyed getting to know Michael and the love story. Excited to read book two and see how Desi kicks some daemon butt!

Note: Five Stars, For readers 14+
