Grasping at Eternity

The Kindrily, Book 1

De: Karen Amanda Hooper

Narrado por: Noah Michael Levine, Erin deWard

Leave it to Maryah Woodsen to break the one rule that will screw up eternity: Never erase your memories.

Before entering this life, Maryah did the unthinkable - she erased. Now, at 17 years old, she's clueless that her new adoptive family has known her for centuries, that they are perpetually reincarnated souls, and that they have supernatural abilities. Oh, and she's supposed to love (not despise) Nathan, the green-eyed daredevil who saved her life.

Nathan is convinced his family's plan to spark Maryah's memory is hopeless, but his love for her is undying. After spending (and remembering) so many lifetimes together, being around an empty version of his soulmate is heart shattering. He hates acting like a stalker, but has no choice because the evil outcast who murdered Maryah in their last lifetime is still after her.

While Maryah's hunter inches closer, she and Nathan make assumptions and hide secrets that rip them further apart. Maryah has to believe in the magic within her, Nathan must have faith in the power of their love, and both need to grasp onto the truth before they lose each other forever - and discover just how lonely eternity can be.

An Amazing Experience!

I literally just finished listening to this audio book and I am amazed! I had already read this book a couple of years ago, but I feel like I was reading it again for the first time! The narrators enhanced the reading experience so much! The way they conveyed each emotion and portrayed each character was incredible.

I felt like I was seeing a movie with how vividly the narrators performed the story. I was laughing, crying, swooning, and smiling the whole time I was listening to this narration.

One small complaint is that Erin would sometimes whisper and I had to turn the volume up, but then Noah would have a loud voice, which meant I had to lower the volume. I was playing around with the volume controls for along time, but I didn't mind it once I got used to it.

As for the book itself, I was captivated by the very beginning by Maryah's story. The writing was lush and intrinsically, and I wouldn't help but keep listening.

If you're having any thoughts about this book, don't. It's ABSOLUTELY amazing and you will love every second of it.

Great beginning!

This is a great beginning to an epic story! I love this dual narrating team, and when I was recommended this book, I decided to give it a chance, having never read the author. I'm sold. This series, at least, is going to be a must-have as the books are released! I love paranormal fantasy!

3.5 Stara

The idea behind this book was really intriguing. the author did a great job of maintaining tension throughout the story. I wish there had been more development in the relationship between the two main characters so I could understand why they loved each other more, but overall it was a good read.

Exciting & riveting

There is so much wonderfulness in this story! Exciting and riveting! Taking Back Forever here I come! 😁

Amazing x2!

I remember how crazy I went after reading this book for the first time. It was so magical and enticing from start to finish, no doubt. Part of me wished I could "erase" my memory of this beautiful story to live it again and again with a fresh mind.
Then, a couple years later, I was able to. Once the audiobook was in my grimy hands I was instantly engulfed in their story once again, but this time it was different. Not different in a bad way, but in a "different" sort of way. Having voices in my head versus having someone read to me was new of course. But it offered a fresh experience and view on the story!
Grasping at Eternity was my first experience with audiobooks and I am so glad. I loved the narrators voices in general, but also enjoyed how they expressed so much emotion through every word they said. Sometimes I turned on my phone expecting to see Maryah and Nathan acting on the screen! Other times I find myself walking down the school halls whispering, "come on, Maryah! Get a brain!" because I feel like I can actually have a conversation with the characters. (Believe it or not, that's how real this audiobook feels)
I'm completely impressed with this outcome and also completely obsessed with this audiobook.

If you're ready to cheer, cry, and yell with these wonderfully written characters, I suggest you click the "buy it now" button as soon as possible. Seriously. I'm not kidding! You won't regret it.
