What drastic changes to absorb in so quickly.
The family dynamic amazed me. Each fitting their own place. Despite so much happening. Quite excited to read more about how things settle.
This was a really interesting read as it really had so many layers to it. I really liked all the main characters as they all were interesting in their own ways. I loved all the twists and turns that this story provided as well. I would love to read more in this world.
Overall rating: 4.6**
A unique storyline, it was quite an undertaking getting all the intricate details to fall into place and set in motion. I was intrigued with the journey this would take me on. Love these characters and the unity that the author created amongst them. The world building is wondrous! I wish the title of book 2 was given at the end of book. Looking forward to the continuing story.
This is a fast moving story that has some quirky characters who discover that they are not of this world. What begins to unfurl is the world of Opalla and much of what that means will probably be revealed in future stories. This book introduces us to main characters and a little of the world, both of which I hope the author will continue to develop. The language is raw and a little bawdy, sometimes crass, but I suspect that this is more revelatory than tantalizing. I will definitely read the next book.
Love this story. Scarlette, Lyndy, Poppy and Luca must navigate growing up, growing apart and some paranormal thrown in.
Sometimes things pull you together when life gets tough and throws a tail spin on your world you think you have see it all then secret come out that the people you loved hid from you and your world takes another tail spin.
What a great read I really liked some of the characters but there are a lot to keep up with and they really make your head spin. The plot was great the author has a lot of twists and turns that really keeps the story moving and interesting. Three women who come from loving homes and lost their parents grow up to find they have powers, as they learn more about them they have to find the guardians before the trouble starts that could change their life forever.
I really liked the fast pace, the twists and turns as well as the mystery along with the excitement and danger. The author really gives you a well thought out story that holds your attention. The sisters are very different some I liked more than others but it shows true to form for most families. It will be interesting to see where the author takes the next book as well as learning more about these women and how they will deal with the issues to come. It is well worth your time and I will read it again at some point because I know I missed a few things.
Opalla
The characters are good and the story is interesting, the world that is described is easy to imagine
The concept of the story was interesting and I enjoyed the different unique powers they possessed but I had a hard time getting into the story. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters unfortunately and the dialogue just didn’t flow natural it felt stiff and unnatural.
I liked the concept of this book.
Scarlette, Lyndy, Poppy, and Lucca have all grown up together never realizing there was so much more to who they are than just friends.
While this book starts the series, it’s mainly about Lyndy and Lucca and how figuring out a secret their parents kept hidden from them has changed their lives forever.
Now, what I didn’t like about this book?
Lyndy was so immature. I’m going to assume these characters are around late 20’s maybe early 30’s, yet Lyndy throws tantrums like a child! She surrounds herself in her own little bubble and doesn’t realize that what she does has effects on others, including her sisters.
She was also very abrasive, the cursing like a sailor thing was just over the top in this book. I’m no prude when it comes to cursing, but the way the author wrote Lyndy, every other word out of her mouth was fuck!
I might pick up the second to this when it comes out. I’m curious about Scarlette, who seems to be the more soft-spoken of the sisters.
