Thank You.


You can only like from the website (as opposed to the app) so I just copy/pasted the link.
Hope that helps!

The impressive things about the book were the:
a) Cover - looked cool enough..
b)The whole " OMG I CAN CHANGE INTO FIRE,WATER AIR AND EARTH. P.S I CAN FLY TOO. WICKED"
c)The idea
What I pretty much got annoyed with was the fact that she was so emotional(I mean she practically lost control with Ryan in an instance. I mean not that i'm against it, it's just that it was too much.
(Though I adore Ryan's wait till marriage thing. Not many guys would do that.)and helpless and why couldn't she have just told him " Hey look i'm a freak but if you love me you'll understand". Okay not so aggressive that so wouldn't suit Natalie but she could have still mentioned it to him since it would hint at the fact that she and Ryan were so close that they could share everything with each other. I felt the last part was a drag because right at the end she gets superpowers like wonder girl and then doesn't want to think about it since it's messing up her head. I get that but if I were too develope freakish powers and the ability to fly I would have gone like: "Oh Crap, now I have to save the world". I would be awestruck, a little confused yes, but definitely not depressed and sick. I was also upset with the grammar though I didn't find it a big deal. Sure "shined" should have been "shone" and "breath taking" should have been one word but then everyone makes mistakes. What I didn't like was that Natalie "worked out to much". There were a little too many hints about how tough and strong she was getting. It could have been a little less because the picture in my mind which formed Natalie was a beautiful girl with biceps and the book didn't really explain why she got that plane nightmare ( WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT??) and how it was a near death experience. It also didn't explain why she took and keeps taking those pills? Is it because they pay her to do so or is it because she wants to look strong or is it because she has vitamin/calcium deficiency. Anyways back to the positive side: I really liked the last part as it was definitely an intriguing and compelling cliffhanger:
She held up her arms and watched her body materialize into a vibrant green color. “Oh no,
it’s happening again!”
The color drained from his face and he gasped for air. “Wh--at? What do you mean it’s
happening again?”
“I….ummmm...well, it’s like….” She didn’t know what to say.
He stared at her in disbelief. “What’s happening to you?”
ALL IN ALL THE BOOK WAS PRETTY GOOD AND I WOULD ENJOY READING THE NEXT PART TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS...
I RATE IT AS A 3 STAR BOOK ***
