When the one thing you live for is taken from you, do you let it go or do you fall?
Jade, like any other student at Brushwood High, awaits the start of the school year with a certain measure of dread. Worse, she is being threatened by a voice that only she can hear—a voice that lurks at the edges of her awareness, haunting her and warning her of something unknown. She has always been able to count on her two best friends, Claire and Nate, but can she confide in them now? About this? Would they even believe her?
Life takes a turn for the better when she meets Avan, a darkly handsome new student who, somehow, seems to drown out the voice and make her feel at ease.
But Jade soon comes to realize that good things don’t last forever. When everything spirals out of control, she is shattered by something she never saw coming. Dazed and despairing, she must now overcome tragedy and embrace her true existence and a new but dangerous love. Will she be able to save herself and those she loves, before it’s too late? Or will she let the surrounding darkness consume her?
     
       My Review: 


     Feathermore was a really exciting story, so exciting I read it in one day. I came upon Feathermore through goodreads and the minute I finished reading the blurb I checked Amazon to see if I can buy it, but sadly I didn't find it. So I contacted the author and asked her when her book is being released. That's when she told me she's doing a blog tour for her book and asked if I were interested in participating. I jumped on the opportunity. And I'm so glad I did. Feathermore is jam packed with suspense and action.

   This story was captivating to the point that I couldn't put it down. When you first read about Jade (main character) you think she's your typical teenager. But one bad event set of a chain of eye opening events. Whatever life Jade was used to was just snatched from right under her feet. It was time for Jade to face her destiny, but her destiny was so far more fetched than she expected, and embracing it was something that didn't come easy for her. She was faced with having to make the right decision or lose whatever she had left.

     So here's where I tell you what I liked and what I didn't like. I really enjoyed the story leading up to the revelation. I liked that Jade wasn't to accepting of her fate; she questioned it. And that's more realistic then just accepting it without any doubt. Now here's what I didn't like. When I finished reading Feathermore I was left with some unanswered questions, but I did ask Swing and found out that Feathermore is actually part one of a trilogy. So now I cannot wait for book two.

I really enjoyed this book and I give it a 4 out of 5 stars! It's a Good Choice for Reading.

    1. Nyra, isn't that the truth? If it's too good to be true, most likely it is.

  6. I love a series book. Sometimes one book is not enough. I often wonder what will happen to the characters. Some authors have a hang up story which annoys me. I have to guess whether it ends happily or badly

    1. I can understand your frustration. When I first started blogging I didn't like to read books in series. But now I love it. Because like you I keep thinking about the characters and am not happy with leaving it up to me.
