Embrace

De: Jessica Shirvington

Narrado por: Rebecca Macauley

All Violet wants is to be with Lincoln. But he has a secret so great it could tear them apart.

Then there’s Phoenix. He’s intense and enigmatic, but he's always there for her.

Caught up in a battle between light and dark - where angels seek vengeance and humans are warriors - Violet must decide who she’s willing to sacrifice and who to trust, because the wrong choice could cost her not only her life, but her destiny.

love this series!

I've read this series three times and listened once. Everytime I re-read it I find something new i missed. it makes you think and reflect. not many books do that for me.

Could be worse

Against my better judgement, i got book 2 of the series (the reviews for book 1 were not very encouraging). I very quickly realised i couldn't make head or tail of book 2 without reading (hearing) book 1, so i got "Embrace".
Let me just say i've suffered through the book as best as i can. the general storyline is actually quite good, but i get the feeling the characters aren't quite sure whether they're adults or teens!!
Maybe it's the actual performance - doubt it very much though - but i just couldn't bear the "whininess" of Violet's character, or the hedonistic teenage rebelliousness. It's so obvious a mile away that certain actions would result in obvious events and i guess for me, it's the predictability of those moments in the book that killed the buzz for me.
The last straw was when i found myself cringing during certain scenes and actually covering my ears with my hands, so i wouldn't be subjected to the epic cringe-worthiness of said lead character.
My advice: get another book - i still have to gird my loins to go through book 2 and i don't think i can survive the experience!

Loved it

Overall, I really love this series! It is a love triangle, so if you don't like that, this book if not for you. I found the narrators voice to be easy/pleasant to listen to and it's a book I look forward to getting in my car to listen to! I'm on book 3 and I'm still enjoying the series!!

Great read

This is a great book! I couldn’t stopped. Both guys is great and is it selfish of me to wanting them both? Lol but if I was to chose, I would go for Phoenix! He has this bad orbs around him. I liked Lincoln as well but I feel like Phoenix is a better match. I already knew who she’s gonna end up with but I could still hope. Rebecca Macauley is a new narrator to me but she did an excellent job!

one of my all time favorite series.

wish there were more books in this series. would make a excellent tv series, amazing.
