Sovereign Hope is a pretty nice and interesting read. While I did have some issues with the writing, primarily with the romance and sometimes a little on the heroine I can say that it had shown quite a number of potential to be a good series. Maybe just a little improvement here and there.

While I did have some issues with the writing, primarily with the romance and sometimes a little on the heroine I can say that it had shown quite a number of potential to be a good series. Maybe just a little improvement here and there.

Farley was a character I couldn't identify with immediately. I wasn't sure what to really think of her character at first and it took me some times to get used to her. I don't know if she's tough or just really hardheaded. She did grow throughout the story though and I like that when awful and terrible things happened and even though she was extremely hurt, emotionally and physically, she wasn't the kind of character who moped around and succumbs to loneliness. She faced her problems, trained and made herself strong and useful.

Daniel was this gorgeous, hot and a bit of a jerk hero. He was secretive, arrogant and could be really harsh at times. He didn't quite appeal on me that much but when I learned of his story and his reasons behind that kind of facade I think I understand his character better.

Now for the romance, I had some issues here because most of the time it kinda feel a bit awkward for me. I didn't like the early assumptions of the other characters about the attraction between Farley and Daniel when there were so very little shown about that yet in the story. I also think there were more of tell than show. What they say about each other were a bit stated matter-of-factly so when Farley or Daniel started admitting to their selves that they are indeed attracted to one another it was a little hard for me to believe. Still, I wanted the two to be together and have a happy ending and I think the writing did improve towards the end.

The idea and concept of the Immortals were good but what I love the most here were the Whytes! They're creepy, deadly, sinister and gory. The way they were described was just enough to make the story a bit more thrilling and exciting. I just wished they played a bigger part in the story. lol!

Another thing, the ending felt like a bit cut short for me. But I guess it's okay, I don't really mind though. Overall, this was a pretty decent read. Although I wasn't overly thrilled and captivated by this book it still kept me entertained throughout the story. You might like this more than me especially if you're into paranormal books. :)

*A big thank you to Ms. Frankie Rose for providing me a copy of this book! :)

"When the tailsman and the fair sovereign borne of the line are found in unity, she will possess the power to destroy our great people forever.".........

I went into this book with high hopes.

I have been in the mood for something different lately, and haven’t been able to find one that’s already in my kindle to read. I ran across this book, and read the blurb, then viewed the trailer. I’m a sucker for a good book trailer, (I know some people don’t dig them, but I do.) At this point I was certain this was the book I was looking for.

Well let me tell you, Frankie Rose delivered!!
This book in fact exceeded my expectations. I have kind of strayed away from YA books lately unless they’ve been Mature YA. Mostly because of the maturity level of the characters. I found the characters in this book to be absolutely wonderful! They were so much fun to read, from the H/h, Farley and Daniel, to the cast of secondary characters. Farley was so cute with her sassiness, and her inner dialogue, and she stepped up to the plate when it was time to be a tough girl. And who doesn’t love the mysterious brooding hero?? I absolutely fell in love with Daniel when he started letting the walls come down. These two made me smile a lot, and I loved the romantic element between them,

The Reavers, which are the most powerful among the immortals and they are the villains. I loved the simplicity of their background, and I didn’t need a glossary to follow the different types of Immortals. They’re slightly like vampires but they’re not. There is no blood exchange between them, they’re power comes basically from an exchange of energy if you will. There are the Immundus who are like minions for the immortals, and then there are the people who live in the Four Quarters who are basically the “lower class” of the immortals. They don’t have any significant powers, but do have the life span of thousands of years. Then there are the whytes which are basically an immortal abomination, they remind me of something straight out of “28 Days Later”.

Sovereign Hope started out with a bang, and kept my attention throughout. I had numerous questions swimming around in my head, but most were answered as the story unfolded. I found the pacing of the story perfect, and it’s loaded with action. I thought the author's descriptives were perfect in painting the scenes, from the colorful world in Aldan's head to the action scenes. This story is told in the 3rd person POV, which I loved. You get to see inside everyone’s head, and know what they're thinking and feeling. Now I adored Aldan and Agatha so much, and loved Beatty too, these are my favorite of the secondary cast. (My heart swells just thinking about them.) I can't express enough how much I loved this book, however; I did hug my kindle when I was finished and was disappointed that my time with these characters was over.

Anyway, This is a fantastic book, and I haven't been this excited about sharing a book in a while! I definitely recommend to those that enjoy a good YA read. I can’t wait for the next book!!

A BIG thank you to Frankie Rose for the opportunity to read this!!

Sovereign Hope is the first book in the Hope series by Frankie Rose. When approached about being part of this blog tour, I was excited to be part of it.

Of course, it helped that the cover was gorgeous, and on watching the book trailer, I was pretty sure I wanted to read this. I’m so, so glad I did, because I ended up absolutely loving this book.

Like many other people who tend to read paranormal books, I’m always slightly concerned on starting one that I’m going to have read something like it before. After all, there are only so many ways certain paranormal creatures can be portrayed, and sometimes it seems like there are only so many storylines. In this novel, Frankie Rose totally turns that idea on it’s head, and manages to create a paranormal underworld that was different to other things I’ve read before.

The Reavers, in this world, are the most powerful, immortal beings, and also the villains. Admittedly, that doesn’t sound overly original, but with the prophecy (Which main character Farley is at the center of) it soon turns into something completely different. On that score, this book definitely delivers.

I also loved the characters. Farley was awesome-yet-flawed enough to be believable and relatable, and I really liked her voice and the fact that even when she was feeling crappy, she had attitude. And as for Daniel, who doesn’t love a brooding hero? I have to admit, I ended up totally head-over-heels for Daniel, especially once a forbidden romance was mentioned. As some of you will know, that’s something I always end up going for! The supporting cast were also good, from motherly Agatha (who was still pretty kick-butt) and Farley’s friends. Even Oliver ended up being pretty cool, though I wasn’t sure if that was going to happen throughout the book.

The writing was also enjoyable, very smooth and easy to keep reading – my attention was kept throughout. Definitely a book I’d recommend, and I can’t wait for the next one! A very big thank you to the author for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book!

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for this opportunity. On the other hand, I do feel the need to say that the fact that I received a copy of this book for review did not influence my opinion on this book in any way, shape, or form. Therefore all opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone. Now that we’ve established that, I have to say that I completely and totally enjoyed Rose’s debut novel, Sovereign Hope!

The story is told in third person, which I initially didn’t like but later started to appreciate. I feel like this story is so complex and has so many unique characters that demand attention, so it makes sense for the story to be told this way because it really allows the reader to get into the heads of the main characters, especially Farley and Daniel. I loved Farley’s headstrong personality and the passion that dictated her actions. She really is so strong and was the perfect heroine for this story. Her relationship with Daniel, who pretty much exemplifies the words ‘brooding’ and ‘mysterious’, was sweet and exciting to read about, especially because I really couldn’t help but love Daniel. He puts on such a hard exterior through most of the book, but there are moments when cracks appear in that exterior and you get to see the vulnerable, caring side of him as well. Most of the supporting cast of characters deserve praise as well; Agatha and Aldan were particularly well-written and endearing, and I wish I had gotten to spend a bit more time with the other underground characters that appear closer to the end of the book, as well as Tess and Oliver.

One of the things I also really appreciated about this book was the pacing. Overall it’s fast enough to capture your attention but not so fast that the reader is left totally and utterly lost, though sometimes it sped up unexpectedly and I was a little disoriented as to what was actually going on. Each scene is described so perfectly, it’s easy to envision everything that’s happening. Frankie Rose has such an amazing writing style: clear, descriptive, captivating. She’s built a world that she explains so comprehensively - sometimes to the point that it seems almost like an information dump - that it really made me appreciate all the complexities within it. While I was reading, I had a lot of questions spinning around in my head. Rose includes a few scenes at the beginning that reveal just a tiny bit of information, setting up the stage for the rest of the story and leaving the reader with much more curiosity. I really liked that Rose didn’t answer these questions immediately; rather, the answers were revealed slowly, interspersed throughout the story in just the right places. Sometimes those revelations left me with more questions, but the overarching mystery is just one of the things that makes you want to keep reading.

This was such a pleasure to read and once again I have to thank the author for letting me read her book early! This new series is one to keep an eye out for; I know I’ll definitely be watching out for Book #2!(less)

Severely disappointed. This was not what I had expected from the blurb. The whole book was basically Farley moping around in a bland, underground cavern. There was some action at times but it wasn't enough for a good suspenseful read.
The writing was poor, in my opinion and sometimes I found it hard to comprehend what she was trying to say. I don't mean to insult the author, but that was just something that bothered me a bit.

I am sure you all have had moments like those, where you just have that feeling that you know you will end up loving the book. But if the blurb wasn’t enough to get my attention, once I received the copy and saw the cover, it had me diving in right away. You see to me, the cover of a book makes a big impression, if the cover is well done to grab my attention alone or aside from the blurb I am automatically sold.

I loved the personality that Frankie Rose created for Farley the main female protagonist, for months she has been desperately awaiting any information into her mothers disappearance, getting no answers or leads you can sense her frustration, but if worrying for her mothers safety wasn’t enough she has to worry about her own, she being followed but doesn’t understand why until she meets Daniel and Agatha, that is when Farley is dragged into a whole new world where only she can put an end to the reign of the Reavers. Farley’s relationship with Daniel is quite intense, their interaction with one another seems like they really dislike each other, but secretly Daniel is harboring feelings for her but knows that if he were to act on those feelings it can lead to betrayal and punishment, he wants to keep Farley safe and to do so, he must keep his distance.

I loved how right from the beginning you are sucked right in, Frankie Rose does not give you any chance to wonder away, she keeps your attention and she keeps it well. Right from the start you have action that will have you wide eyed and anticipating the characters next move.

This book is filled with plenty of action and romance that will have you reading through the night, you know that saying “Just one more chapter” or in my case that I kept saying “Just two more chapters”, those one or two more chapters will turn into 7 more chapters before you know it.

Sovereign Hope, book one in Frankie Rose’s “The Hope Series” is set to be released July 1, 2012.
5/5 Crescents!

Sovereign Hope is one of those books that grab you from the first page and does not let you go. I adore this book on so many levels. I have been in a reading funk for a while, I just felt like every book I was reading was the same. I have to say a huge thank you to Frankie for asking me to review her book because I was blown away. I was instantly immersed in the world Frankie has crafted and did not want to stop until I finished it. I seriously considered calling in sick to work just so I could stay up all night to read it!

Farley Hope's mother has been missing for six months and the police are still no closer to finding out what happened to her. Farley holds out hope that they will find her when she crashes into Daniel, literally. He saves her life and from then her world is turned upside down. Daniel is part of a secret society that lives beneath our world. Farley finds out she is part of a prophecy that claims she will destroy the Immortals that rule over them. The Quorum are an impartial entity that is supposed to keep the balance between good and evil. The Immortals have upset this balance and Farley is part of the solution.

I loved Farley’s character, she's strong, stubborn, insecure and knows her own mind. I found her instantly likeable and was engaged with her character. She handles herself so well through everything; I think she was one of the more mature characters I have read. Then there's Daniel. He's one of those beautifully broken guys that break your heart and make you just want to hug them. He kind of reminds me of Will from the Infernal Devices, and has an arrogance to match Daemon from Obsidian. If you meshed those two guys together you will have a small idea of who Daniel is. His character is one of the one's that make you fall hard and fast, and I did. He had such a haunting presence to him, it's no wonder Farley felt herself falling for him. The romance plays a big part in the story, but it's only one part of the overall storyline. They have this connection that binds them together, yet Daniel acts as if it's one sided because of his sense of duty and a deal he made with the Quorum. He's totally swoon worthy, too. Trust me.

The storyline is original, action-packed and compelling. Sovereign Hope is a one-sit read. Once you pick it up you just can't put it down. This is definitely one of my favourite reads of 2012! Frankie has such an addictive style of writing. Grab a copy of Sovereign Hope to be swept up into an amazing adventure that will have you turning the pages to see how it ends. I am desperately waiting for book 2.

I couldn’t wait to get to the bottom of each page, I loved that it wasn’t centered around vampires or werewolves but instead something I hadn’t read before Reavers, Immundus and Immortals (which I have read plenty of). I loved the spin that she put on the Immortals and what she did with her prophesy that she had written. Character wise I loved the female lead she was strong and independent and I loved reading the story through her eyes mainly Daniel. He was everything I look for in a male when I’m reading. She had a great supporting cast of characters I really enjoyed Agatha’s character and how Farley’s character grew not only with Daniel but with Agatha as well. I would of liked to of have read more about Aladin I loved the character so much and I felt a little sad as the storyline progressed into his story (without giving anything away that’s all I can say LOL) I would of loved to of read a bit more about Tess and Oliver which I can’t wait for more of in book two! There are really too many great characters that I could pick up on like Beatty but it would make my review so much longer. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone to read I cannot wait for the other 2 books in the series and I see great things coming from Frankie she is a brilliant writer and has a fantastic way with words and her passion for description and telling the story is fresh, I cannot wait to read other works from her in the future I can’t wait for the release of Eternal Hope and to see Farley, Daniel, Agatha and the others again. I feel extremely lucky that I got to review this book and it has been added to one of my favourites.(less)

I felt so privileged to be among the first to get a sneak peek at this book. Being a bit older than the intended audience (ahem) I wasn't sure if I'd be able to fully immerse myself in YA Land. And as you can probably tell from the books on my reading list, I'm not normally a big fantasy gal either.
But...this book sucked me in right from the start and kept me intrigued til the last page. The characters were so wonderfully rounded, and I really connected with both Farley and Daniel straight away....more

First off I would like to take this time to thank Frankie Rose for sending me a copy of Sovereign Hope to review. When I first read the blurb for Sovereign Hope I was instantly intrigued, I wanted to find out more about the book because there was just…something.

I am sure you all have had moments like those, where you just have that feeling that you know you will end up loving the book. But if the blurb wasn’t enough to get my attention, once I received the copy and saw the cover, it had me diving into the story right away. You see to me, the cover of a book makes a big impression, if the cover is well done and grabs my attention alone or aside from the blurb I am automatically sold.

I loved the personality that Frankie Rose created for Farley the main female protagonist, for months she has been desperately awaiting any information into her mothers disappearance, getting no answers or leads you can sense her frustration, but if worrying for her mothers safety wasn’t enough she has to worry about her own, she being followed but doesn’t understand why until she meets Daniel and Agatha, that is when Farley is dragged into a whole new world where only she can put an end to the reign of the Reavers. Farley’s relationship with Daniel is quite intense, their interaction with one another seems like they really dislike each other, but secretly Daniel is harboring feelings for her but knows that if he were to act on those feelings it can lead to betrayal and punishment, he wants to keep Farley safe and to do so, he must keep his distance.

I loved how right from the beginning you are sucked right in, Frankie Rose does not give you any chance to wonder away, she keeps your attention and she keeps it well. Right from the start you have action that will have you wide eyed and anticipating the characters next move.

This book is filled with plenty of action and romance that will have you reading through the night, you know that saying “Just one more chapter” or in my case that I kept saying “Just two more chapters”, those one or two more chapters will turn into 7 more chapters before you know it.

Sovereign Hope, book one in Frankie Rose’s “The Hope Series” is set to be released July 1, 2012. 5/5 Bats.

Sovereign Hope was just ravishing. I was completely electrified by the authentic story-line and tasteful romance. The writing style, the character build up, and the overall setting was just pure genius. What a wonderful debut novel and brilliant start in an exciting new series.

I was completely electrified by the authentic story-line and tasteful romance. The writing style, the character build up, and the overall setting was just pure genius. What a wonderful debut novel and brilliant start in an exciting new series.

Farley Hope is a young girl trying to make sense of her life and solve the mysterious disappearance of her mother. She's a survivor; that's the only word that kept coming back to me throughout the story. Her strength is commendable, and her determination is just baffling. Farley never gives up on anything. She wants answers and she'll never stop until she finds them. I also liked how the story opened with her and immediately depicting her stubbornness. I didn't take anytime liking her character and if anything, I can relate with her frustration. Here she was being chased by strange men and had no clue as to why. Soon after she learns that her abilities are in fact not as weird as she thought them to be, and her purpose is uncovered.

Daniel, he had me cracking up. He's so blunt and uncaring with his words. Not necessarily the gentleman at start but you can't help but fall for him along with Farley as the story progresses. Their relationship is believable and not as instant as some couples in YA. I liked how their emotions grew as I read.
The other characters had some depth as well. Tess for one, Farley's bestie, sort of calms my nerves. I love how easy-going she was and I'm very pleased with her presence.

I like, I love...

It's great when an author creates a world that doesn't exist because that allows the reader to tap into their imagination. But it's also great when a place that actually exists is used as the setting. California is one of my favorite places so that discovery had me giggling like a lunatic. Regardless, I felt the description was incredible and I certainly pictured what was taking place.

The story in general, again, I can't stress enough on how exciting it was. The action scenes had my adrenaline going, and I never felt bored in between. And what an ending. Sovereign Hope was just unbelievable. Don't you want to experience the rush? Get yourselves a copy today!
I've been reading a lot of five star books lately. I hope this trend continues and keep me happy. (less)

An under ground world that no one believes exists, sits another country, filled with four corners worth of different races of other people that are unlike any we have ever met or known about. Magic in all four places also has different societies that posess powers we have only seen in our dreams. What began as the search for Farley's mother, turns into something other-worldly, that speaks to her about whom she really is, why she was placed on this earth, and that she herself has seen the "ending...more

Farley Hope has been trying to get by with her life since her Mother turned up missing six months ago. But things are seeming hopeless especially with her hallucinations getting worse and now people are following her. When a stranger helps her, he turns her whole world upside down.

This is an interesting spin on immortals and a prophecy. You quickly find out that there is a prophecy regarding Farley but you never really know what else is going on. As frustrating as it was, it's also what kept me...more

Sovereign Hope was a great read, especially considering that my recent experiences with indie authors/free Kindle e-books haven't been that great. This is a series I am going to stick with, for sure, even if I had some issues with it.

First, I'm not the biggest fan of this writing. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, but the third-person-view didn't really do it for me. Sure, this way it was easier to switch from one character's mind to another, but I don't feel like we gained that much more infor...more

The plot is strong and well-paced to keep the attention of the reader throughout the book. It provides some answers whilst still leaving you with something to look forward to in the next instalment. The characters well thought out and flawed enough to make them interesting. You get a sense that, in many ways, they are still kid’s dealing with something they should never to (regardless to how ‘old’ some of them may be).

Overall, I would say Sovereign Hope is a refreshing change to come current boo...more

Okay, so this book started out not too bad. The writing wasn't great but the story wasn't absolutely terrible. It was a little confusing, yes, but I figured, "just keep reading and it will all come together." Well, the more I read the more annoying the writing became. Once action started happening (she wasn't just pining for Daniel in the Hanger anymore) and she went to find out about her friend the book went downhill very, very fast. The writing.... I just want to know if there was an editor he...more

Let me begin by saying that I really liked this book. It's had a good plot that kept me intrigued and hooked till the end. Still, I felt like there was that missing, "umph" in the book.You get me?

Now, lets talk about this banging plot. I like it. I mean, I really like it!! This is one of those books that has a fresh plot that I never read before. Usually plots are all the same and over done. Not this one. Instead, it's inviting. After the first chapter, I was intrigued to keep reading. I enjoye...more

Sovereign Hope is an amazing book.Not only do I love the cover but the story was also very enjoyable and easy to read.

Quotes from Sovereign Hope

“He paused and caught her in the flash of his eyes. The term green with envy sprung to mind for some reason, though that wasn't the particular sin that burned through her when he locked her to the spot. Nope. That would be lust, her conscience whispered. She scowled. Was it possible for your own body to turn traitor on you? If it was, then hers most certainly had.” — 12 people liked it

“You can't have 'ass' as a word." Tess declared. She picked up Farley's tiles and thrust them back into her hand."You're forgetting the rules. You're supposed to put down words that you know relate to Oliver.Like hockey. Or six pack."
Farley pulled a face.
"Unless you're commenting on the fact that he has a really great ass, in which case ewww, but okay.” — 11 people liked it
