Serenity (Forever #1) by India R. Adams - Starting May 4th 2017

[Sarah Elizabeth]

To say I know where this story begins is to say I remember what lifetime started it all…and why. What I do know is this lifetime is hard and cruel…maybe like the rest. That is until I meet him–the light that shines and guides me. To where, I don’t know, but my soul chooses to follow regardless. I believe my soul has done this before. I believe I will follow him…forever.

"The toll on my spirit had slowly broken me down—day by day, night by night, drink by drink, hit by hit—to the limp, fragile, lost girl that Dereck Hamilton . . . carried away."

A destructive home life silently destroys Serenity, a 16-year-old girl, until her broken spirit is given a gift in the form of an old journal that sends her a visitor in the night. The cloaked woman teaches Serenity that the lingering feeling of missing a part of her soul may not be a figment of her imagination, and with these words, Serenity’s journey, of this lifetime, begins.

"Away from the sun I close my eyes
and release myself into the unknown
I hope she is there
I hope she is there…"

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ This chapter peeked my interest. I am thinking of how the story is going to turn out. I think the concept is very intriguing. Great first chapter. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[ I love the fact that she is opening herself up more. It makes the story more believable and it shows how close-guarded she is. Also, I feel bad for her because her mother is an alcoholic and her father does not show the love that she needs anymore. I wonder if that is because of the mother's drinking as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[ My God...To see her own father trying to choke her mother is disturbing beyond anything I have ever read. Poor Serenity. I hope her mother divorces her father. This is an amazing book. I really love the characters and the story in general is amazing. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 31: (view spoiler)[ Serenity drunk is cute! I love how caring Dereck is. He is the perfect boyfriend. I think I need a Dereck to take care of me. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ This was amazing. The read was an emotional roller coaster. I loved the whole book. Also, the characters were amazing. Loved how close-knit this group of friends are. Sad that Sky had to die. Serenity lost part of who she was when Sky died. They were a packaged deal. I felt bad for Rocco because he loved Sky. I will give this read a 5/5. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Sharon ☺

[India]

This is awesome. Thank you so much to all of you offering to read this novel and give your thoughts and opinions! I love it!

[Yesha- Books Teacup and Reviews]

25% (view spoiler)[ So far book is not too fast, not so slow. I want to see who is that brown cloaked lady? I like chemistry between Serenity and Dereck. Josh and Jolene are also lovely. Skyler and Rocco are fun to read, they are cute together. (hide spoiler)]

[Yesha- Books Teacup and Reviews]

50% (view spoiler)[ Oh God, first the truth of Sky being raped and now Serenity’s father. For a second I thought he will kill her mother. What a horrible family! This part was very distressing. (hide spoiler)]

[Yesha- Books Teacup and Reviews]

70% (view spoiler)[ OMG! I can’t believe her father. How sweet they finally get married. I feared his dad will appear right when he is going to put ring on her finger but thank god that didn’t happen. (hide spoiler)]

[Yesha- Books Teacup and Reviews]

90% (view spoiler)[Okay so, cloaked lady is none other than Serenity’s fav singer Destiny. Why Sky died! She was lovely. (hide spoiler)]

[Yesha- Books Teacup and Reviews]

End (view spoiler)[it was painful to read this heart-wrenching agony of crew after Sky’s death. I am glad finally serenity is out of her misery. (hide spoiler)] I loved this book.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Sharon]

I am using this R2R thread because this is book 2 of the series that I am reading.

Destiny
Preface: (view spoiler)[ That was an awesome way to start the second book. I wonder if Destiny's nightmare/premonition will come true about Josh and Serenity. I can't wait to see what happens in the story next. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Destiny
Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[ I am happy that Dereck is getting his shot at his music career. I am happy that Destiny is helping him out as well. I love the way Destiny's band huddles together and ask her to sing "Amazing Grace" before the concert starts. Also, I want to know more about Zane. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Destiny
Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[ I am enjoying the characters more. I want to know more about why there are similarities between Destiny and Serenity. Are they the same person? I am very intrigued by the story. I can't wait to see how the story ends. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Destiny
Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[ I am loving the read so far. I wonder why Hope doesn't remember meeting Sky, or is she just trying to push her memory from her mind? I am very intrigued to see what the last 10 chapters have in store. I hope Josh and Serenity will be okay. I do not want anything to happen to them. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Destiny
Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ Loved it! I am sad that Josh had to choose between Jolene and Serenity. However, I think he made the right choice by sticking by Jolene's side. That is his girl, and Serenity has Dereck, so he will protect her because she is his wife and he loves her just as much as she loves him. (hide spoiler)]
