Book one in The Evoxian Legacies series by a new Author to me and I want to read the next book in this series. A well written story with a storyline that kept me turning pages as I had to know what was going to happen. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Bree was adopted as a baby. Bree is very different. She has violet eyes, and was teased so badly as a child that she wears colored contact lenses to cover them up. She becomes a single divorced mother at a young age, and is struggling to make ends meet. Then she meets a man named Quinn who has violet eyes just like her, and tells her she is from a different plant, has powers she needs to learn how to use, and a sadistic man from their planet is killing others of their kind and stealing their powers. As Quinn teaches Bree how to harness her powers, they grow close, but Michael is still hunting her. What will he do when he finds her. Will he do the same gruesome experiments on her that he has been doing on human women? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Violet Souls is the first book in The Evoxian Legacies, which tells us about violet-eyed aliens living amongst the humans here on Earth. Bree is one such alien, although she doesn’t know it. She has always felt differently to the others, but never knew why. She wears blue contact lenses to hide her violet eyes, as she was teased when she was younger. When she searches for more information on her birth parents, it opens up a whole new world of which she was unaware.
This started off really well, with plenty of action and build up to her actually finding out just who, or what, she is. Bree is a no-nonsense character, determined to do what is right by her daughter. I think the thing for me is that Bree was just too laid back! If I found out I was an alien from another world, which is dying, and I have a soul mate I chose when I was a baby, oh, and my talisman grants me a special power too. No matter how relaxed I tended to be in ‘normal’ life, I think I would still have some sort of panic attack over all of the above. Not Bree though, nope, not happening. You can throw what you want at this woman, and she won’t even blink an eye. Torture? Boring. Death of an enemy turned friend to helped her? So yesterday. Daughter ageing quickly? It’s fine. I liked Bree, I really did, but I found her emotions definitely needed broadening.
On the whole, this was a great start to the series, and an epic cast of supporting characters I would love to learn more about. There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow (unless you count the emotional distance). This IS the start of a new series, so be prepared for world and character building, which you always need. I can’t wait to see where this series will go. Definitely recommended by me.
