Review: Vanish by Sophie Jordan


Vanish by Sophie Jordan
Hardcover, 304 pages
Expected publication: September 6th 2011 by HarperTeen
(B&NBordersBook Depository)

To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.

Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?

In bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s dramatic follow-up to Firelight, forbidden love burns brighter than ever.
 


I am so in love! I never thought I can love a series so much as I do this one. Sophie Jordan has an amazing imagination! Just like with Firelight, I read Vanish in FOUR HOURS! It's so fast paced and an easy read, that I quickly got lost inside. I loved every minute of it! I want to share so much about Vanish, but I feel I would ruin it for those who have not read Firelight, the first in the series. I will try my best not to ruin it for anyone.

Vanish begins right where Firelight left off. They find themselves in a bit of trouble yet again and don't know how to get out of the mess their in. With Jacinda's sister Tamra freaking out, Cassian trying to control his anger, and Jacinda worried about Will, they were seriously losing grip. They decide to try and fight their way, but Tamra does something that surprises them all. Including me!

I was at the edge of my seat with every word. For Jacinda, forgetting Will was a lot harder than she thought. She tried really hard to fall back into her old life, but that becomes even harder for her when Will takes the risk of coming to find her. Not knowing what to do, who to trust or turn to, she decides to follow her heart and do what she feels is right. With the help of Tamra, they set out on a whole new journey and things quickly get out of control...AGAIN.

Will and Jacinda's relationship is just beautiful in every way. They are my Edward and Bella. I love everything about them! Sophie Jordan did a fantastic job with creating these two. Event after event, it was so hard to take a breather and put Vanish down. I want to keep going on and on about Vanish and how much I love this series, but it breaks my heart to think that I now have to wait even longer for the next in the series.

Vanish is an incredible sequel to Firelight. I am always so worried that a sequel will not compare to the first, or that the characters personalities would change somehow, but in Vanish everything remains the same and it's a lot more suspenseful. The suspense was killing me. I needed to know what would happen to Will and Jacinda. I feel like I am not making sense and jumping from one thing to the next lol that's how in love I am with this series. I want to cover everything and giveaway spoilers.

This is a series I think should be on every one's To Be Read list, if you haven't read it already. It's amazing, it's romantic, suspenseful and fast paced. A DEFINITE GOOD CHOICE FOR READING! 


I am sure you guessed... 5 out of 5 Stars!!!

  24. Great review! I cannot wait to read Vanish! I am struggling to fill the void and pass the time until it is released. Your review only makes me more anxious (if that's even possible)! Firelight was such a fantastic YA novel and I can't wait to see what she has in store for readers in Vanish!

  26. Will & Jace are one of my absolute favorite YA couples! They are so adorable, i was so heart broken at the end of Firelight! I mean im really excited to read more about Cassian and the pride, but at the same time, can't it just be Will 24/7! GAH! i love him! He is so sexy & funny & cute & a little needy! AH, he is just the perfect guy!! My Firelight review is SO embarrassing, it's so fan-girly! lol, but with this series it's impossible NOT to be a fan girl or boy! ha! Awesome review of Vanish! After reading it i am even more excited for this second installment!!!
