Without thinking, he reached for her hand. Tucked it against his chest, feeling that was where it should be. Perry's heart slammed against his ribs. She had to feel it. #simplebutsweet

Aria: "Your voice sounds like a midnight fire. All warm and worn in and golden. I could listen to you talk forever."
"I could never do that".
She laughed at him. He brought his lips to her ear.
"Your scent is like violets early in spring," he whispered. Then he laughed at himself because though it was true, he sounded ...more

Again with the WOW! I cannot get enough of these new books with new authors!!! Seriously they are all blowing me away and I cannot read fast enough! This book was just WOW, at first I had no idea what to write so I had to wait a few days to think of something and I am still trying to write this review because this book was just too good for words right away.

The book pulls you into this amazing world within a world. Here is Aria in the "realms" not really living and not knowing anything else. Eve Again with the WOW! I cannot get enough of these new books with new authors!!! Seriously they are all blowing me away and I cannot read fast enough! This book was just WOW, at first I had no idea what to write so I had to wait a few days to think of something and I am still trying to write this review because this book was just too good for words right away.

The book pulls you into this amazing world within a world. Here is Aria in the "realms" not really living and not knowing anything else. Everything is on her smarteye and she has no idea how to survive without it. When something horrible happens at her POD she is exiled and she is facing the "real" world and has no idea how she will survive. She wasn't built for the outside world but the further in you get the more you realize she belongs more there than in her realms, yes it might have something to do with the "savage" Perry but hello I would love to be exiled if I got to meet him! He opens her eyes to new things and at first they don't get along and then things take a turn where they start to actually feel something more than friendship.

As a reader looking into this story I felt like I was a peeping tom. It was so well written and the story just sucks you in that you forget that you are a reader. You want to know what is happening so you try to hurry up get to what happens at the end but are so glad you didn't because you would miss all the small things. Seriously all the characters are amazing especially Roar I am in LOVE! Aria has an adventure ahead of her and she will do everything she can to protect those she loves. Throughout this story you find out so much about Aria and Perry that even they didn't know about eachother. The ending just about ripped my heart out and I could NOT believe some things that happened but I know it is a great setup for book two and I will have NO finger nails for the wait ahead to see what is going to happen!!

This is another book I truly recommend to all of you to go out and get and just try and I know you will fall in love just like I did!! ...more

I can't... I don't know... I'm not sure... Sigh. I don't really know how to begin this. But one thing is for sure, yep I was so right that this is going to be an awesome read. It's so beautifully written, I can actually hear the voices of the characters inside my head.

God,I love dystopian books. It gives me a different sense of imagination, and with this book, a thrilling one. It's like Pocahontas with much much more exciting scenes. I love that it has both a dystopian and paranormal kick in i ...more

4.5 stars!

I've read a good few dystopian YA books lately, and I think I have enjoyed this one the most. It has a few minor flaws, but overall I found the world, characters, and plot engrossing. The plot twists weren't predictable ((view spoiler)), and the relationship dealt with (view spoiler) ...more

Very enjoyable. I especially liked the contrast between the futuristic techie world and the primitive post-apocalyptic world and, of course, between Aria and Perry and their views of each other's worlds. I thought it was interesting how the futuristic world of the Pods seemed sort of idyllic in a way (no disease, no danger, life is easy), but as the story went on I began to see it as a scary dystopia where people do all their "living" in virtual realms where they only think they are seeing, feel ...more
