You know when a book pops up in your head and you think, I wonder if the sequel is out yet? With this book it happened to me all the time but I would never see the sequel! So now I'm super relieved and it won't be bugging me anymore :)

I was very excited to read the following book to her first novel, "Meridian". Because i tend to read the books that are in our school Library I found the first book to be spot on for our reader age group.
However, I have to say I am a bit disappointed with the direction the author took this second book, especially considering all the students who are going to want to read the second book!

Über ein Jahr haben wir darauf gewartet und jetzt dürfen wir sie lesen, die Fortsetzung von Meridian. Flüsternde Seele steigt direkt voll ein und der Leser wird ohne Umschweife direkt in die Geschichte geschmissen. Meridian und Tens kennen wir schon aus dem ersten Teil, den man wie ich finde gelesen haben muss um dieses Buch überhaupt verstehen zu können. Amber Kizer hält sich nicht mit einer Zusammenfassung des ersten Buches auf und geht direkt auf die neue Geschichte rund um Meridian und Julie

I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved all of Meridian but did not quite feel the same about the latest installment. It was weird at first because I couldn’t put my finger on what exactly was out of place for me in the story. The characters were the same and the writing is the same however it just didn’t hold my interest as much as the first book. After rereading the book, I really think it was because I couldn’t get into Juliet’s story. I really enjoyed any parts that related to Meridia

A couple of years ago I read a book that really threw me for a loop. It was unlike anything I had read before and I started raving about Meridian by Amber Kizer to any and everybody that would listen.
Meridian is the story of a young girl who discovers that she is a fenestra. Basically a human being with a little angel DNA, someone who helps people's souls transition into the afterlife. Of course where there's good there is evil hoping to stop this from happening. Discovering this at almos More...

Meridian and Tens are back again in Wildcat Fireflies, on the road to Indiana looking for another Fenestra, and, of all things, a cat. While searching for this Fenestra (who is a sixteen year old girl named Juliet) they unexpectedly make some great friends and learn some shocking secrets. The reader also finds out a bit more about Tens’s background. This book is written a bit differently than the first as the story is told from alternating perspectives of Meridian and Juliet.

First off, I absolutely loved Meridian, the first installment in the Fenestra series. That being said, I think Wildcat Fireflies was better than Meridian in some aspects, and not-as-great-as the first novel in other aspects, but still greatly enjoyable.
At first, I found it hard to really get into Juliet's story because I was already so attached to Meridian and Tens from the first book--I wanted the entire novel to be told from Meridian's point of view. However, I realize why Kizer cho More...

Honestly, I was hoping that Kizer would grow as an author and not do the telling instead of showing again. Instead, she told even more and showed even less. I still got no sense of emotion from these characters. The only thing that made me read this sequel was the fact that the story is interesting. Unfortunately, the story isn't enough to make me read the next one. The emotions and fake "Native American" lore were terrible, and the fake American Indian story was disrespectful, to say

Klappentext:
Das Mädchen Meridian schwebt in größter Gefahr: Als Fenestra ist es ihre Aufgabe, den Seelen der Verstorbenen den Weg in dem Himmel zu weisen – doch sie hat dunkle Gegenspieler, die dies verhindern wollen. Auf der Flucht vor den Aternocti gelangt Meridian in eine friedlich wirkende Kleinstadt, in der sie die Gegenwart einer anderen Fenestra spürt. Kann sie diese finden, bevor die Aternocti es tun?

First reaction:
I have been waiting for this book ever since I read and loved the first book, Meridian a few months ago. This book is in the point of view of two girls, instead of one like Meridian was. Meridian is the fist point of view, and Juliet is the second. I like how the author incorporated both of the girl's points of view instead of just Meridian's because if we did not get to hear Juliet's side this book would have been half as exciting and it would be much more confusing.

I read Meridian, the first book in this series, 2 years ago when it came out. It was a good book, but it didn't knock my socks off. This one, however, just about did that. The difference between this book and the first one is like night & day. The writing in this one is so much stronger and so is the story line. Meridian & Tens are much stronger people and have come into their own very quickly. Their relationship is growing by leaps and bounds as they are learning to deal with their places

LOVED this book! I liked Meridian a lot and this book was just a next step up. It was a fantastic second book in a series...sometimes the 2nd book can fall flat, but this one served to deepen the storyline and world that was introduced in Meridian. The expansion of the story, the additional characters in the book, the way the story unfolded - all fantastic! I read it in two sittings (only because I had to travel home for Christmas) and in both reading sessions I was immediately sucked into "

I loved Meridian so much when I listened to it on audio that I had to pick up Widlcat Fireflies almost right away.
I listened to this one on audio as I did with Meridian.
The story picks up right where we left off at the end of Meridian, in search of other Fenestra's that the Nocti could be after. Finally Meridian and Tens run into Juliet, an orphan who lives in a dreadful Children's Home and spends her days cooking, cleaning and looking after the younger children. Juliet has no More...

Wildcat Fireflies was a really great follow up to Meridian. Kizer does a good job of unfolding information and you learn as Meridian and Tens learn new things about the Fenestra mythology. This is a little used mythology and that is one of my favorite things about the series. (no vampires or or werewolves here, whoo hoo!) It doesn't feel like anything else that's been written, and its a little darker and deeper than other books/series in the teen paranormal romance genre. And best of all the cha

Let me say WOW! I love you Amber Kizer !!!! This book was outstanding. I just love Meridian and Tens. The only other thing that bothered me was she thought she was undeserving of Tens, Hell no, he's perfect for her. They complete each other in a way that's different. Tens is the strong silent type, who she doesn't really know anything about besides the fact he is her protector and soulmate. Meridian is strong, outspoken, and totally awesome. She goes through some hard times, and feels like she w

When I reviewed book one in this series, Meridian, last year, I said overall I liked the story, but. I think I'm basically going to be saying the same thing this time, and for mostly the same reasons. This worries me a bit because it means that either there hasn't been growth OR this is just Kizer's style, in which case I will never be completely satisfied. Whichever it is, the result is the same: I was left at times feeling a little underwhelmed by what I think could be a really good s More...

After thoroughly enjoying Amber Kizer's debut novel, Meridian, I've been looking forward to the sequel, Wildcat Fireflies, for a long time. Meridian was such an enjoyable, fun debut novel that I was completely pulled into Meridian's world of Fenestras and souls that I wanted to know more. After what felt like far too long, I was able to get my hands on Wildcat Fireflies, which continued Meridian's adventures in new and unexpected ways.

Honestly I loved first book of this series way better than this one. If I could I would have given the first book 10 stars. Anyway I loved this book but it was way way way too long.
Pros:
- Loved Meridian. Since we live in MC's head most of the time, it is very important to like being in her head.
- Relationship between Meridian and Tens is amazing. They are not perfect, but realistic. They have their share of fights, banter, love, flirt, playfulness etc.
