I don’t open my eyes so I can’t see him, but I can smell him. He thickens the air I breathe, choking me with his scent…his aroma. I shiver. I have to resist. If I’m not strong, then I will be relegated to the same fate as this predator whose sickness infects me even now. But now, I crave him and he knows that; he has been counting on my need to end the gnawing pain. How he...more

Where do I begin? The book started off right where I wanted it to, with Reed and Evie and their intense and breathtaking romance. Then there is Evie gaining even more strength and kicking major ass. The practice fight scene with Reed was majorly hot. She is finally getting strong enough that she might be able to consummate her relationship with Reed and the intense agony of waiting the whole book for this to happen is starting to build in me. I was getting all excited that the book would be filled with pages of Reed when Bartol reached in and ripped my heart out and sent me into a New Moon tail spin. But before those of you who hated New Moon for the reasons I did, do not fret, while the agony of not having Reed for a good portion of the book was overwhelming, the frustration and pain was completely worth it and therefore I forgive Bartol.

Of all the Twilight books I suffered through, New Moon was the worst (although I enjoyed the movie because of all the wolves which the book just could not capture for me). Having to sit through 90% of the book with Bella acting like a Manic Depressive psycho and Jacob acting like such a whipped puppy dog who just let her string him along without standing up for himself, we are finally rewarded with Edward if only for a few chapters. However, one would think that if Meyers was going to force us to suffer through an entire book without Edward, we would at least get some sort of climatic ending that made it all worth it. But of course no, all we get is some pathetic attempt at an action scene and a lame marriage proposal. Ugh. I honestly wanted to burn the New Moon book which was a shock to me because I don't believe in that. But I was so disappointed and irritated that I had just wasted all that time on a horrid mind numbing book, needless to say I was pissed.

So when after a 1/3 of the way into Inuition, Bartol pulls a Meyers and has a series of events convincing Evie that she has to leave Reed to keep him safe, all the joy and excitement I had for this book went out the window. I thought NOOOOO please don't make me sit through a whole book of Russell talking in his weird twang and obsessing over Evie and plotting how he will take her from Reed. I wanted to jump through the pages and rip Russell's heart out knowing I would be helping Reed. I found myself desperately re-reading the chapters leading up to the change just so I could savor a few more pages with Reed. I thought, "What has Bartol done to me?! and more importantly why I am I so invested in these characters, I'm acting like a crazy person!!"

Needless to say I stuck it out, but it was tough. I would find myself skimming ahead in the pages to see if I could glimpse Reed's name (I am ashamed to admit that my heart would beat faster and my body tingled when I did see his name), even if it was just Evie thinking about him. When we were finally released from the pages that were Russell's POV I found myself letting out a sigh of relief thinking that it must be coming, any minute now Reed is going to sweep in and save Evie and I. But Bartol throws another wrench into the story, and now a new villain is standing in my way to finding Reed.

So now I am suffering like Evie at the hands of a new evil, and far scarier than Freddie (which was nice). There were some moments when I was able to put Reed on the back burner (view spoiler) but half way through the torture that Evie and I were going through at the hands of the Gancanagh I found myself in tears, feeling the same desperation that Evie felt (view spoiler). I actually threw the book down and got up and thought to myself, "get your shit together Sanette! It's a book for christ sake!".

I was livid, I was so angry that Bartol would take a page out of Meyer's book but then it hit me, where Meyers failed miserably, Bartol succeeded. While Bartol made me suffer through all these pages without Reed, I was not suffering because her writing was atrocious and sounded like a 12 year old wrote the book or that the characters where insane and acting pathetic or that the current male was not a totally pussy being walked all over by a girl who did not love him, no thats not why I was suffering at all. I was suffering because her writing is AMAZING and her characters are so life like, so strong and funny, vulnerable and loyal that I was actually experiencing the pain, joy, love and fear with them as they traveled through this incredible journey. I was shocked, other than A Discovery Of Witches I have yet to read a book that brought out such intense emotion in me, and isn't that what sets amazing storytellers apart from the twilights of the world? I mean I actually had the same butterflies that Evie would have when Reed would enter a scene. I found myself falling head over heals in love with a character from a book! I realized I was becoming Evie and going through all the emotions she was going through.

Then the ending came... all I can say is Bartol delivered. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! there are no words for how happy I am with that ending. While I am heartbroken that I now have to wait for the third book to come out, I have this ending to hold onto and it made all the agony that was the middle of the book completely worth it.

If you are a YA paranormal romance lover then this is your series, drop everything you are reading RIGHT NOW and join Evie in the most amazing and passionate love story. It will not disappoint. I miss Evie and Reed but since they have taken up a staring role in my dreams at night when I close my eyes, I only hope it will be enough to help me survive till the third book comes out. (less)

It's about a step up from a train-wreck.

The plot is remotely interesting, not original, but interesting enough.
I would have given a higher rating if the author could have restrained herself during the dialogue of the heroine and her boyfriend. Every four seconds they are reaffirming how much they love each, how the other one is perfect, how blessed they are to be in love with that person, how the world was dark before the other person came into their life, how happy they a...more

I have one MAJOR critique, however: Russell's "southern accent" ticks me off.
I was raised in the South. I have lived in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. One of my oldest friends is from West Virginia. Two of my dearest friends live in South Carolina. A co-worker of mine is from North Carolina. NO ONE I know speaks like Russell. I don't know if Asheville is supposed to be the home of some fringe dialect I've never heard, or what, but Russell's ridiculous use/overuse of "y'all" is borderline insulting. "Y'all" is the contraction of "you all" and, generally speaking, we southerners use that to refer to more than one person. We don't use it more than once (ok, maybe twice) in a sentence, and we rarely (if ever) use it to refer to the individual to whom we are speaking--as in one person. That just makes no sense to me at all. Consequently, I find the portion of the story told from Russell's perspective to be very hard to read. I imagine those people not familiar with a southern drawl will find it to be nearly incomprehensible. I find myself re-reading Russell's spoken bits trying desperately to figure out exactly what sort of drawl the author is going for. I'm coming up confused, needless to say. I cannot imagine what Russell would sound like in "real life" because his way of speaking (and, oddly enough, writing) is completely foreign. Not only does this cause drag in an otherwise fast-paced narrative, but it seems to further the widely held opinion that anyone from the South will be forced to butcher the English language--no matter how pure of heart or intelligent they are--by the tragic fact they happened to born on the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon line. I mean, really?!
Ok, I'm stepping off the soap box now...

Overall, I loved this book and can't wait to see what happens next! I laughed, I cried, I despaired, I rejoiced, I lusted... It was the whole buffet of emotion all wrapped up in an exceedingly well-written (soap box episode aside) novel that kept me anxiously turning pages from beginning to end. Definitely worth reading!(less)

Oh My God!! This amazing sequel to Inescapable is so heart wrenching! How many ways can my heart be torn apart. Amy did an amazing job of bringing these intense emotions to life. I felt like I was Evie, what she had to go through just tore me up. She was so strong, and I felt everything with her. In a way, I was glad some of the depression parts were then switched to Russel’s point of view, otherwise, It may have made me depressed with her even more.

Technically, this book would be a 3.5 for me. The story is good. It just seemed to drag at points. The author is so descriptive that it is sometimes hard to see the forest through the trees.

One of the other reviewers likened it to New Moon. I would agree with that; unfortunately, since I was Team Edward, that was my least favorite book of the saga. I'm Team Reed, and his absence may have been what made the book boring at times.

HOLY MOLY!! That was... freaking amazing. Intuition has just shot to one of my favourite books, right up there with the Fever Series, Sweet Evil and Angelfall. Amy Bartol is an incredible writer – I was so invested in her characters that I found myself crying and screaming and railing against life right along with them.

That was... freaking amazing. Intuition has just shot to one of my favourite books, right up there with the Fever Series, Sweet Evil and Angelfall. Amy Bartol is an incredible writer – I was so invested in her characters that I found myself crying and screaming and railing against life right along with them.

Before I tell you why I loved this book so much though, I’ll explain the plot a bit better than the synopsis. Was anyone else frustrated and/or terrified by this shocker of a blurb for the book:

I don’t open my eyes so I can’t see him, but I can smell him. He thickens the air I breathe, choking me with his scent…his aroma. I shiver. I have to
resist. If I’m not strong, then I will be relegated to the same fate as this predator whose sickness infects me even now. But now, I crave him and he
knows that; he has been counting on my need to end the gnawing pain. How he would savor my surrender. I’m alive, but how much longer will it
take until I beg him not to be?

These were my thoughts the first time I read the blurb: “VAMPIRES!! There are gonna be freaking vampires in this book?!!” followed by “oh god, Reed is Strigoi and he is going to turn Evie!!” Then I realised that this was NOT Vampire Academy (or Twilight) and it was all gonna be ok. Apart from the whole vampire reference. Yeah, WTF.

So, the plot. It starts off right where Inescapable left off, give or take a few weeks – Reed, Evie, Buns, Brownie, Zee and Russell, our happy little supernatural family – are all together in Crestwood trying to figure out how to find and eliminate Alfred and keep Evie safe. That is the plan until word gets out that there is a half-Angel hybrid running around. Evie suddenly has the entire Power community gunning for her death/capture and faces an agonising choice. See, Evie overhears her angels talking about how the Powers may try to arrest Reed and Zee for aiding a known fugitive and possible Nephilim. To protect them, Evie decides to take off with Russell and give them a fighting chance against the Powers. Fighting to heal her broken heart, Evie is confronted with a new threat and one that no one could have expected. Well, except me, cos I read the blurb and I’m clever like that :p. Vampire-fairies. Needless to say, all hell breaks loose from here on in.

I think Sanette hit the nail on the head in her review. This book is good in a Discovery of Witches / Fever Series way and not a Twilight / Existence way. The latter books are a great read, but it is only the tremendous plot that propels me to get to the end as quick as possible. The former books have the same effect – they propel me to cease eating/sleeping/going out till I finish them, but they also make me want to read every sentence slowly like it is a deliciously expensive truffle. I savour every paragraph and squeeze every bit out of it because I don’t want to miss a thing. And with language like Bartol’s, you really don’t want to. There were so many quotable moments for me, a bit like Fever, and gosh, I just didn’t want Intuition to end.

I personally loved the Russell perspective. I’m a big fan of Russell’s – he is a big softie and he is so good to Evie. I found his Southern accent really endearing (though it kept sounding Scottish in my head and I don’t know why?) and I enjoyed seeing Evie through someone else’s eyes for once. He is adorably protective of her and I thought it was DAMNN sexy when he went all avenging angel for her on his ‘suicide mission’. I also felt my heart break when he told her the story of Leander and Aohbe, and well... let’s be honest, my heart break every time he confessed that he had loved Evie in every lifetime from here to now and would love her for every lifetime hereafter. Evie is meant for Reed, but damn, I wish that there was a way for them to be together that didn’t hurt Russell.

I was sooo happy when Evie decided to start training to defend herself, and especially when she went all Guild Hunter/Night Huntress on Zee/Reed. She’s becoming a warrior in her own right and I am ecstatic that she can finally stand up for herself. However I was very upset with her when she didn’t even try to defend herself against Russell. He tried to kill her – at least when Zee and Reed tried to kill her she damn well fought back. This time she just cowered and waited for the blow to fall. Bad, Evie, Bad.

The plot was absolutely incredible as well and I enjoyed it far more than I did Inescapable. We get to know which of the “fairytales” Buns mentioned are real, and just how scary some of the creatures in them can be. The Gancanaugh are a bunch of domineering, sexist, bloodthirsty fruit loops and I had my own night terrors just thinking about them. God, when Brennus gets his hands on Evie again... *teeth start chattering*... I don’t think I’ll be able to keep reading. But, reading the first two chapters of Indebted, I just know that I have to. I am a junkie for the Premonition series, and I need more!

Celeste’s review: Great follow up to the first book, Inescapable! I dove right in and was loving all the smoochiness between Reed and Evie. But of course it doesn’t last because Evie accidentally opens a portal and “shadowman” tries to kill her. Dammit! This dials up the intensity and makes it very, very clear that the hunt for Evie is very, very real. There definitely were some agonizing moments and I was turning the pages faster than I could read them.

The next part of the book was from Russell’s point of view, and honestly, I didn’t love it. While it was ok, I didn’t need his POV because I knew how he felt about Evie and I really enjoyed the story from her perspective. I also just didn’t love the second part of the story line – I know it is a common formula for many books: one person realizes they are in danger and harm may come to the one they love so they leave town. All that ever does is cause everyone pain with no winners. However, I kept trudging through. I was still also glad the love triangle never came about, I just don’t see Russell as anything more than a friend.

It was worth it! Of course Evie can’t protect herself on her own and gets into trouble, but this was not at all what I expected. It was fabulous! There were characters we got introduced to that we hated but then some I loved! I know I shouldn’t, but I really, really love some of them. I don’t want to say anymore!

I can’t say enough UNFFFF about Reed. I WANT THIS MAN! RAWR!! *fans self more*. He is just smoking hot and masculine. He truly is a warrior.

There were a few typos, but they didn’t bother me a bit and are something a great editor would catch. I love indie authors so I am always aware typos many times come with the territory, but are absolutely worth it if I can find a gems like this series. If you are an angel lover like me you absolutely, positively must add this to your “to be read” list. To top it off, the cover is just gorgeous. I just loved the red feather and the simplicity of it all.

Best of all, we don’t have to wait much longer for the rest of the series: book 3, Indebted is due out this spring and book 4 is due out summer 2012!

Quick aside. Some people think that 3 stars is bad. And for a lot, maybe it is. I rate a little differently. I see star ratings more as a bell curve:

1 star = bottom 10%

If ever I were in a situation where every supernatural being out there either wanted me as their "pet" or wanted me dead? I'd like to think that I'll have a decent support system instead of running off to save them..........NO. It's noble, I'd think long and hard about it but I'd feel like I can save them by keeping myself alive. This beggining however doesn't tell you why I gave this book five stars considering its a negative. The main reason that this gets a five star is because I love how its written! OMG is just beautiful. Then the characters. Evie's angel friends aside *please make Zee more enjoyable I feel like he could be funnier!* RUSSELL! He gets better and better and better! I feel like he is MY soulmate. I cannot love any character more. Then we have Finn. Accent aside *I barely understand the guy* he is just lovely in that medival kind of way. Last but certainly not the least. Preben! His name is a little on the weird side like something you would call a sleep enducing drug BUT he touched my heart Preben did. He reminded me of that character in twilight that was part of the Volturi that no one ever notices because they are too preoccupied with Edward. I would like more of Preben because he amuses me just like that Volturi guy that I loved but never got to see.
I'd like to pick a bone with the whole sex on the beach thing. Its a decent cocktail but not a decent act. You get sand in places sand definetly isn't meant to be. No matter how lovely it sounds in books, there should be a warning caption not to try it at home or on vacation or whatever. I wish authors wouldn't write scenes like that in their books. Its like false advertisment. What ever happened to you know KING SIZE BEDS WITH ROSES! Or some other cheesy stuff. Call me old fashioned but that sounds more appealing.
I cannot wait for the next book that hopefully consists of more of EVIE'S wit that I've come to enjoy so much. More of Russell and Preben too!(less)

Wow! What a freaking rollercoaster! But still amazing.
It starts off just like I was hoping and expecting...then, of course, it has to take a turn. After the first book, I hadn't totally made up my mind about whether it should be Reed or Russell. But I ended up making up my mind on REED. Freaking love this angel man! So I was a bit annoyed that Evie runs away with Russell- but that's just selfless Lil Evie for ya, even though it was a stupid choice. I was even more annoyed when the book was told...more

Whew... I just finished the second book and it's been a real ride. The books seem to go on forever, or it could be the format I'm reading that makes it seem really long.

I still like the plot if the series, but I'm starting to forget the real plot of these books. The first one was about Evie figuring out who she was. Now, what's the second book about? I'd like to tell you how I felt about it in this review, but I can't because I'm still trying to figure that out myself.

In my review of the first b...more

This was another great addition to 'The Premonition' series. It was action packed with some new characters that, I feel, really added to the intruigue of the world that Evie finds herself smack dab in the middle of. I loved how Brennus and his fellas sort of grew on you and blurred the lines between good and bad. That was very well executed by the author. I wasn't thrilled at first with the chapters from Russel's POV, but as I thought about how dark and depressing (and possibly monotonous) those...more

More than 3 stars, less than 4, really. Maybe 3.8?

This is not a good book to read if you haven't read the first in the series, yet. And you may want to skip my review if you haven't read the first book and are highly allergic to spoilers- it's almost impossible to talk about the plot in Intuition without referring to developments from the first book, Inescapable.

This is not a good book to read if you haven't read the first in the series, yet. And you may want to skip my review if you haven't read the first book and are highly allergic to spoilers- it's almost impossible to talk about the plot in Intuition without referring to developments from the first book, Inescapable.

We are still following along with Evie and Reed's angsty YA romance at the opening of this book. (And it's light on the angst at this point and heavy on the heavy sentimentality) Evie is stuck in Reed's house until Buns and Brownie (too little of their hijinks!) convince Power Angel guardians extraordinaire Zephyr and Reed to take Evie snowboarding.

And then we embark on a long, for me unecessarily detailed, section about the security precautions they take for Evie's safety and go on and on about how amazingly strong, agile and graceful Evie's getting (but still not strong enough to handle any lurv from Reed. The conceit that he would break her if they tried to do anything physical sort of becomes unbelievable at this point).

Once we get past the snowboarding lingo and the safety precautions, as well as a short jaunt into Evie's human-becoming-angel soulmate, Russell's POV complete with pages of transcribed accent that made me wince (and don't get me started on the Gancanagh accent) then the story took off.

As much as I dislike the whole "I must leave him because I love him" reason to split up a couple, the whole leaving town to travel through the U.P. and make a life with Russell while dying on the really worked somehow. When she found the cell phone and called her voicemail, I lapped up all the romantic Reed messages, and had to say "aww" to Buns' message.

Add the Irish Vampire-like undead Gancanagh as the new, big, bad (much more interesting and sympathetic than Alfred) in the story reeled me back in, hook, line, and sinker.

So there's overused tropes, and annoying accents, but Evie is starting to become seriously kick-ass. And despite her Mary Sue "every male who meets me likes and wants to protect me" status that makes humans, Gancanagh, and Angels of all caste make things nicer for her, she does get the opportunity to bring on the pwnage several times in the book. Adding the Gancanagh and their undead army as a way to force Reed and Evie into exciting situations really wakes up the plot.

So while the first third of the book made me think I would give up on the series, the second half of the book convinced me to go ahead and buy Indebted as well.

This Book's Snack Rating: Still like eating a bag of kettle chips for the addictive, salty taste of YA angsty love and kick ass heroine

The characters in this book gave me fits! Evie won't listen and neither will Reed. He thinks he knows what is best to keep her safe, which is keeping her in the dar. Russell is butting his soul-mate status in between Reed and Evie. The pace of this book is very good as well. It just made me want to tear my hair out! Evie keeps evolving and decides she needs to leave to keep Reed safe. Reed is a force of his own and she just doesn't see that...ugggh! So she and Russell set off and run right into...more

rusesell is a seraph like evie.
breauss and flinn capture evie...finn is a bad guy, but at the same time he has some concern for evie, while breannuss is the king of genouges, and he wants evie to become his undead lover, evie finds out later on that alfred told breannus and finn about her and her abilities and that she's an angel, and thats why they know of her.
russell comes for evie right when brunnus was about to turn evie....i dont know why i think this, i know that brunnus is evil and all, but i just cant seem to think that he's as much of a bad guy. like he is a bad guy, but his love for evie just tips the scale alittle towards good guy section.russell gets evie out of brunnus's place and throws a bomb in there b4 running away with evie. b4 evie left, brunnus says that he will have her back one day...and that he wanted to give her a present b4 she left. the present was alfred being killed and ripped apart.
later on after evie escapes brunnus, she goes to dominion where reed and zee are held captive by other angels because of her. reed has to fight pagan to save both him, and evie's life, and he wins. sadly, pagan has many friends and gunnar is her lover, so all of them hate evie now but wont fight reed because he's a trained soldier. the council releases reed and zee, but they plan on using evie for things like luring in the fallen, etc...so reed came up with this great plan- evie and him bind together so that means that they are one and the council will have no choice in keeping them apart-thus letting them go. evie agrees.evie and reed bind together, having some people there to witness it. after they binded and cut some scars over eat others hearts/chest, an angel wing appeared-evie's wings on reed's chest, and the other way around.
#189phaedrus is another guy who likes evie as in likes her as a friend when he meant her, he's a virtue angel- his job is to give luck to humans and do wishes for them that he can achieve. Brunnus will not give up on finding evie, he's obsessed with her.
evie and reed make love.same goes for buns and zee ;).....warning: it does not say and describe how their making love, it just says that they do it.(less)

I am really loving this series, downgraded this from 5 stars because I had a really hard time reading the part from Russell's POV. I also can't stand the way that Brennus speaks either. I have read many books that have characters that are supposed to have accents, especially ones from the south and the author actually makes them sound endearing and you are able to actually fall for their accent. However, with Russell, the way that the author writes him makes him sound extremely stupid. Obviously...more

This book is probably more of a 4.5 stars but because it caught me completely off guard I think it deserves the five star rating. Okay, where to start? So in all honesty this book kind of has me completely floored. I read the first one in the series and while I enjoyed certain elements of the book I really wasn't a huge fan, however this installment is fsntastic. I was interested the entire way through and even when I was furious (thinking about Russell here) I was still immensely enjoying the n...more
