Fragments by Dan Wells

*spoiler free review*


*I got this book as an ARC from Epic Reads.


After I finished this book I rated it a mere 3 out of 5 stars until I started really thinking about everything that happened.

Partials ended with Kira finding the cure for RM as well as finding out that she is a new type of Partial that they hadn't come across... Ever.

Fragments is about Kira's journey to self discovery.. She has already found the RM cure but doesn't know how to synthesize it. She sets off on a trip to discover secrets that were meant to stay hidden. On her way to ParaGen headquarters she meets up with Samm and Heron who join Kira on her trek to the truth about what she is. During the duration of Kira's trip Dr. Morgan's partials take East Meadow hostage in an attempt to find Kira(for more testing) which causes Marcus to take matters into his own hands and step up to help save East Meadow. Kira's self discovery may help save the world or destroy it...

I took a step back after reading the book(which I was intensely immersed in for 3 days) and though about it as a TRILOGY which, obviously, it is! I realized I was being biased because I wanted to know what happened in the end so I change my rating to a 4 star. As you can tell... I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK. It left off so INTENSE.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

Synopsis: She is pretty and talented - sweet sixteen and never been kissed. He is seventeen; gorgeous and on the brink of a bright future. And now they have fallen in love. But... they are brother and sister.Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As defacto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the stress of their lives—and the way they understand each other so completely—has also also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: a love this devastating has no happy ending.

My Opinion:



WAHHHHHHH!!!! 


I DON'T EVER WANT TO READ THIS BOOK AGAIN!!! 

Lochan and Maya are so disastrously perfect!
Their love is so wrong, its TABOO.
If you're going to be creeped out or grossed out.. DON'T read this book.
Throughout the whole book you get sucked up into a whirlwind of emotions that both Lochan AND Maya are feeling.. you see how they live and why/how they develop feelings for each other!
Lochan and Maya are basically parents to their 3 younger siblings since their dad left them and their mom is more concerned with what she is wearing to go out on a date each night. Completely alone and ignored by their parents, Lochan and Maya depend solely on EACH OTHER<3

What happens when something you know cannot happen... does.



I couldn't handle the end of this book, I was crying my eyes out.. so powerful and emotional.

Rate: 4.5 out of 5 stars... I recommend it, read it if you think you can handle it.
