Fallen Star Series
Books 1-3 of the Fallen Star Series.
In Book One, The Fallen Star, eighteen year-old Gemma's life has never been normal. Up until recently, she has been incapable of feeling emotion. And when she’s around Alex, the gorgeous new guy at school, she can feel electricity that makes her skin buzz. Not to mention the monsters that haunt her nightmares have crossed over into real-life.
But with Alex seeming to hate her and secrets popping up everywhere, Gemma’s life is turning into a chaotic mess. Things that shouldn’t be real suddenly seem to exist. And as her world falls apart, figuring out the secrets of her past becomes a matter of life and death.
In Book Two, The Underworld, Gemma thought her mind was gone, but she was wrong. And now she is left trying to figure out the truth to what Stephan is planning to do with her and the star, before it’s too late.
But finding out the truth is hard, especially since Gemma doesn’t know who she can trust. There may be only one person who Gemma can turn to for answers, but that means having to go to the one place no one wants to go—The Underworld.
In Book Three, The Vision, Gemma thought she was trapped—that Stephan had finally won. But then time resets and she’s given another chance.
The clock is ticking as Gemma tries to figure out how to change the vision that ends the world in ice. If she can, then maybe she can save the world from Stephan and give her and Alex a chance at a real future. But changing visions can be dangerous, and sometimes one small mistake can lead to disastrous results.

When I purchased this on my Nook, it was most likely a whim. The ratings were five stars, so I thought it would be good, but never in my mind it would be AMAZING!
Never once that the action stop when I read all three books. It was fast paced, but it never left the point of the story. From beginning to end, I could not put my Nook down because I was mesmerized of what was happening in the book. I could not break my concentration because of all the adventure & drama in it. As the story progressed, so did the character. The attitude and the aspect of Alex, Gemma, Aislin, & Laylen changed in each book. It's either it made them strong or weak to the story, but it flowed gracefully of how their role should be. As I am please of the plot & characters, but the imagination that the author created of a fantastical world was eye catching, from the underworld,to the city of lights, & the keepers castle, it felt a place can be genuine in existence.
As every review has pros in it, my only con is the structure of the writing style. I think it should advanced more when combining words and metaphorically describing objects,place,or a person. It should be easy to pronounce
when it leaves on the tip of your tongue.
Regardless, of a little mishap. I still think all three books were marvelous. The plot,characters, & the creativeness of the world is what made it readable and it has a voice on its own.
I can say, that I am very excited to read the continuation of the series.

Ugh this series was just so bad. I got through the first book and half of the second before giving up. The characters were shallow and predictable, and the writing wasn't very good either. Don't read these books, just don't. Especially if you're an impressionable teenage girl. You just don't need this kind of junk in your brain. The whole "this guy is such a self absorbed jerk but I'm pretty sure he loves me even though he treats me like crap" thing is just so...ugh. It needs to die already. That whole theme needs to die.

It's all my daughters fault! lol She's the one that got me hooked on reading YA Paranormal books when she handed me Cassandra Claire's first 3 books of The Mortal Instruments! I wasn't a big reader for many years, I'd pick up a western now 'n' then to read, but it would take me sometimes a month or longer to read it! Since I've become somewhat disabled tho, I've picked up more reading, to the point of asking my 2 kids to get me a Kindle for my birthday 2 yrs. ago! As far as reading a book in 3 days or less, like my daughter, lol, that still doesn't happen....But, these 3 books by Jessica Sorensen was one of those exceptions, I read this 3 book collection in less than a week (that's great for me, lol!). This is an awesome series, very intense, with a different type of paranorm, rather than the usual Vampire, werewolf thing(which I do love), and it kept my interest the whole time and couldn't wait to get my hands on book 4. Highly recommend! read on xoxox

This book has the first three books in the Fallen Star Series. I really enjoyed all three of these books. I love the story line it is very unique. I have never read any book with a story like this so it was most enjoyable. The character's are wonderful as well. It has romance, lots of action, and lots of growing up for the character's.
It's about Gemma finally having emotions she never had before. There is a prophecy and she is the "star" of it. She and her new friends have to go through a whole lot to uncover the real truth about everything. And they all find out who the real enemy is. I highly recommend this book, and series. It is really good, and you won't be disappointed!

Couldn't finish. I tried, I really did. This book is RIDDLED with typos, grammatical errors, and continuity issues. The dialogue is super flat, as are the characters. It contradicts itself as it goes nowhere at a snail's pace. AVOID.

As I've said before, Wonderful! These books are astonishing! I can not stop reading them! They're so good I've read them all so fast!

Started off very interesting but the boy is such a creep, I got bored with the little nothing kisses. I didn't believe she could love him, and vice versa. Sorry!!!
March 13, 2013

Fallen stars by @jessica_sorensenauthor is a YA paranormal series .
I have read all the books in the series . It has definitely a unique storyline about a fallen star and its power splitting up into two and all. .
And there are Gemma and Alex .
Gosh , 😍i completely adore this electricity thing that makes both of theirs skin buzz.
I donno about other#readers , but i find this quite romantic .
Urhh who wouldn't? .
Guys these two do not need to have romantic feelings towards each other for that deep tingling effect😉.
.
So basically the story revolves around Gemma who eventually as the story progresses start having emotions she never had before .
She and her friends fight to uncover the real truth behind all the troubles they are facing .
Its a wonderful book and i think a movie shud be made out of it offcourse, if it does not already exists ..

I liked this series as a whole, I loved the paranormal aspect and the love story. The story really picks up in the second book and never stops. Gemma's life has never been normal, everything she has ever known has been a lie. Things start to change in her life, like the new feelings that she feels (especially the electricity between Alex) But Gemma and Alex have a love and hate relationship, that drives you absolutely bonkers. The two of them along with a cast of vampires, faeries, and witches go on an epic journey to save Gemma and the world.

Authors first book and reads like it. I liked her "Secrets of Ella & Micah", which has none of the annoying issues this series does. Grammatical errors through out, but what I find truly annoying is the weak characters and the unlikability of the heroine. I found Gemma, hypocritical, whiny and shallow. She has major issues with being lied to, I get that, but every other page she was lying, and it was mostly to Alex. If I have to read "I lied", "I wasn't going to lie", "crap" or hyphenated words in the 4th and last book in this series I may through my kindle at the wall!

Moving onto book 3.. Loving it so far.. Loved the kiss. Hope there is more.. Can't wait to find out if they find there way back to each other..Finished the series. Great ready. It goes on as well but taking a short break..
December 6, 2012
At first I thought it was a Twilight Copycat..it is not.II have finished all 4 books in this series..the ending was not all super wow. If you love stories of mythical beings, danger and love...definitley an interesting series with lots of twists.

I did not like this series. The further I got into each book the more rediculous they got. But I had to finish the series because I'm like that. I ended up just going to the last 2 chapters just to see how it ended. What a waste of my time.
January 16, 2014
These are definite can't put down books. Never really been into paranormal before but this series got me hooked so much so I am onto my fifth time of reading them in succession. The action and adventure never stops and I dare you not to love all the characters. A must.
March 12, 2014
Enjoyed this whole series! Easy reads. Like the different thoughts on paranormal that exist in this series. Read whole series in a couple days and on to Fallen Soul series. I've gotten a little addicted to Alex and Gemma. I love Jessica Sorenson in general.
