Firstlife

Firstlife, an Everlife Novel
ONE CHOICE.
TWO REALMS.
NO SECOND CHANCE.
Tenley "Ten" Lockwood is an average seventeen-year-old girl who has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. The reason? Not her obsession with numbers, but her refusal to let her parents choose where she'll live after she dies.
There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death.
In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, longtime enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the two realms who will do anything to win the right to her soul. Who can she trust? And what if the realm she's drawn to isn't where the boy she's falling for lives? She just has to stay alive long enough to make a decision

Fabulous, Unique, and Wanting More!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I really enjoyed Tenly. I think she is a strong, brave girl who knows (while not knowing) what she wants. She knows she has a choice to make between Troika and Myriad, but unlike most, she doesn't know which is the right choice for her! She isn't ready to choose Myriad because that is what her parents want from her. She knows there are valuable assets to both everlife realms and she wants to choose what is right for her.

What does Emma Galvin and Zachary Webber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love these two from previous books I have bought on Audible. They bring life to the characters. They do a fabulous ob giving characters their own voices and accents when they are needed.

Audiobook: Emma Galvin C, Zachary Webber A+

Great story, Great plot. Characters and world building are intriguing. This story was fast paced. The narrators were each given multiple accents to imitate. Without question, Zachary Webber far surpassed Emma Galvin in ability. The audiobook would have been stellar if Zachary Webber could have voiced the male leads throughout the entire book.

Great story!

Enjoyed it very much! it took some getting used to all the different perspectives being told but it made sense. I cannot wait to read on.

just good, not great, but good

story is hard to understand, I had to Google at first to get a clue on author and first part of book. but then I could follow easy. it's very whiney as many have said but overall good

MORE!

An absolutely fantastic captivating book! The next one can't come soon enough. Classified as a teen book, but loved it as an adult!
