Note: I was sent a review copy in exchange for a honest review
Review:
I really enjoyed the writing as it was super easy to get into and I rarely found myself wishing the pace would speed up because majority of the time it was awesome. The world building was also really well done. It made me feel as though I was actually there, I couldn't imagine it in my head so early. Something that I really enjoyed was that the main character Charlie struggled with panic attacks and she wasn't very good with social situations which I think was executed well. It was awesome to see Charlie's character grow and change into a more confident woman. Though there were times were I got annoyed with her character as she made a few rash decisions and was so fixated on being the hero that it got her into trouble. 

Also on a random note.. At the start of the novel it mentioned how Charlie had 3 birthmarks behind her ear but then I don't remember it mentioning anything else about it through out the novel. Perhaps that will be explained in the next novel? Like why she is the opal. 

One thing that I look for in a novel is an unexpected ending and T.L. Martin certainly delivered. The twist will definitely take you by surprise. I will definitely be looking out for the next instalment :) 

If you love paranormal mixed with a bit of romance then this one is for you :)

Quantum Entanglement (Interchron #2) Review

Title: Quantum Entanglement (Interchron #2)
          
Author: Liesel K. Hill

Pages: 400

Genre: New Adult/Dystopian/Fantasy

Publisher: Create Space

Date Released: September 17th 2013

Format: e-book

Synopsis:
Five months after traveling to a post-apocalyptic future where collectives reign supreme and individuals have been hunted to the verge of extinction, Maggie Harper was returned to her own time until the threat to her life could be neutralized. She thought Marcus and the others would return for her within a few weeks, and now she’s beginning to worry.

When travelers from the future finally show up to collect her, it’s not who she expected. With the return of her memories, she wants more than ever to see Marcus again, but a snake-like woman whose abilities are a perfect match for Maggie’s, an injured Traveler, and decades of civil unrest to wade through all stand in the way of their reunion.

Meanwhile, Marcus and Karl traipse through the countryside, trying to neutralize Colin, who’s promised to brutalize and murder Maggie if he can get his hands on her. When a collective woman is left for dead, Marcus heals her, hoping she’ll be the key to killing Colin and bringing Maggie back. But she may prove as much a hindrance as a help.

The team struggles to get their bearings, but things happen faster than they know. The collectives are coalescing, power is shifting, and the one called B is putting sinister plans into action. If the team can’t reunite and get a handle on the situation, their freedom and individuality—perhaps their very identity—will be ripped away before they can catch their breath.

Review:
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review, Thank you Liesel! I really appreciate it! :)I am just going to right out and say this, don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this but I think that the I liked the first book better. There were some things that were a little predictable but there were also some surprises that I did not see coming. I'm not really sure why I didn't like this one as much as the first novel and I was surprised to find that there is a 3rd book coming out but there's no date on goodreads yet but I will definitely keep checking to find out when its going to come out and I am excited to find out what happened next.

I'm not really sure if I like David or not because he is so sweet with Maggie but its his brother's girlfriend, just ugh.. I feel as though in the next book he might try and get in the way of their relationship... and I like Maggie and Marcus as a couple.

Like how I said in my Persistence of Visions review , this was very well written and enjoyed diving back into this world. I usually do not like books with time travel but I truly liked this and I am so happy to have read this.

Overall:
If you are looking for something a bit different and you love dystopian and fantasy novels you should most definitely check this series out because its really good and I can guarantee you will enjoy it! :)
