Fallen Star #1

I just have to say that this book sucked me in. I was enthralled through to the end. While I found the overall story to be absolutely amazing, I did have a few problems with it.
Likes:
*The neutrality that Laylen brings to the group. He is a new and intriguing addition to the cast.
*The constant flow of action kept me on my toes.
*I love how well the visions were described and planned. They really helped build up the story.
Frustrations:
*There were quite a few formatting errors in the kindle edition. That is really distracting.
*Adding on paranormal species after paranormal species kind of made the book harder and harder to believe. The second that vampires were mentioned, it made the book feel like the author was stretching my imagination too far. Then she added the sword ...
*Seriously, why would Gemma get into the car of a boy that acts like a complete and utter jackass to her and let him drive her off into the mountains?
In general, I felt like it was well worth my time. I did continue on to read all four books. They kept me on my toes.
This is a perma-free kindle title. It's definitely worth checking out.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
For the entire series: 3 - simply because I felt like the formatting errors just kept getting worse as the books progressed.
Author's Book Description:
For eighteen year-old Gemma, life has never been normal. Up until recently, she has been incapable of feeling emotion. And when she's around Alex, the gorgeous new guy at school, she can feel electricity that makes her skin buzz. Not to mention the monsters that haunt her nightmares have crossed over into real-life. But with Alex seeming to hate her and secrets popping up everywhere, Gemma's life is turning into a chaotic mess. Things that shouldn't be real suddenly seem to exist. And as her world falls apart, figuring out the secrets of her past becomes a matter of life and death.
