Review: Afterimage (The Enertia Trials #1) by J. Kowallis

Title: Afterimage
Series: The Enertia Trials

Author: J. Kowallis

My rating: 4 hearts

Genre: New Adult, Dystopia, Romance

Pub. date: May 7th 2015

Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform

Synopsis: Reggie’s dreams . . .

aren’t dreams.

Visions of the future flood her mind like shards of broken puzzles. Caged in her cell, every morning begins the same. She’s drugged, tortured, and images are torn from her memory by Public One.

Until the morning everything changes. The vision is different. The future’s never been about her, and now she knows they’re coming for her:

Nomads.

How will she convince them to keep her alive when Nate, their leader, doesn’t like or even trust her? To him, she’s a science experiment. A machine.

When Public One will do anything to keep her, Reggie must make a decision: remain a slave to her past, or risk her future to venture into a world more terrifying than she’s ever known. (synopsis from Goodreads)

New Adult Mini Reviews

So today I have two mini reviews for you guys! These are both two books that I read a while ago, and I really enjoyed reading both of them. Now, as I said, it’s been a while since I read these books, so I’m reviewing from memory. So the books I’ve decided to review are Rule by Jay Crownover and Iniquity by Melody Winter. So without further ado, here are my reviews!

Book Spotlight + Favourite Quotes: The Animal Under the Fur by E.J. Mellow

Today I have a book spotlight for one of the books that most surprised me last year. While I love the author, The Animal Under the Fur is a genre I don't usually read, but since it was by E.J. Mellow, I had to try it, and I didn't regret it. The writing that truly transports you into another world, characters that make you laugh, cry and swoon, and a plot that will make your heart stop, only to race faster than ever. So when I was planning my New Adult month, this book was one of the first ones that popped into my mind. Now, keep reading for all the info on the book and my favourite quotes from the book!

Discussion Post: How Old Do You Need to Be to Read New Adult?

The New Adult Month continues with a discussion post on how old you need to be to read New Adult. Remember to check out my first post on the theme for an awesome giveaway of some of my favorite NA books. First of all, I'm sorry about the obnoxiously long post title, I didn't know what else to call it. Now, before I start, this is a discussion post, which means this is just my opinion, and I’m basing it off of what I’ve seen of the genre. There are many other perspectives of this, so my opinion isn’t the only one out there.
