I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this book but will be doing a re-read and buddy read with my daughter starting this weekend because I enjoyed it so much.
R.S. crafts a story that is full of mystery, magic, and romance. She captures well the struggle and angst that goes with teenage characters, but because of the story it's in a whole new element.
Beautiful story telling, original and fresh plot, and characters that will suck you into this world. I'm anxiously and not so patiently awaiting book two.

This is my debut young adult series, and I am so excited to be able to share it with all of you! I would love to hear from everyone. Thank you for taking the time to spend a little while in my L.I.A. world!

I'm always wondering when I'm reading a good book and nearing the end. How will it pull together and how can all these words just stop? Cause sometimes that can be disappointing. It can be too abrupt or too much is told or not enough. After the main plot is completed the reader needs to feel like the characters have arrived. You nailed it R. S. Reed. I was not disappointed. I want to know more and I want the next book !!! You teased the reader ever so lightly with mysteries to be solved that could wait for now. This book was completely complete with all the elements of painting a picture, mystery, story telling, and young love. I felt like I was right there with them. I love young adult reads and I throughly enjoyed this one. I like them to be smart and empowering. You did this. I'm also patient. I want the story to build smartly. You did this. You wrote an original story that still has so much more to tell ! Don't ever stop writing. Tell your stories. Entertain us! You created real people that are in my brain. I need to know more about them!!!

L.I.A. is a captivating story. It includes some mystery, romance and a bit of fantasy as well. The author introduces some great characters and they all have very different personalities. R. S. Reed definitely pulls you in with a strong mysterious opening and keeps you guessing throughout the story. I enjoyed her creativity. Can't wait to see what will happen in the next edition!
